My teacher of writing class asked us to choose one from two classmates to cooperate with him for all activities that we do in the class. For instance, when we work on editing paragraphs or analysis an essay my teacher always asks us to work in group, because that has many advantages. It was after I compared and contrasted two students, ANON_NAME_0 and ANON_ NAME_1, that I finally decided to choose ANON_NAME_1 as a partner.

English Language Institute (ELI) is a good choice for students who want to study English as a foreign language. The ELI is appropriate for many nationalities. ELI enrollment as of September 12, 2008, is for example, 40 students from Korea, 17 students from Libya, 16 students from Japan, and 15 students from Saudi Arabia. 63% are male and 37% female. The ELI has a stable program. It is appropriate for every level. It has strong courses and excellent teachers. ANON_NAME_0 said, “The ELI is a good place to study because it has good courses and professional teachers.” Also the percentage of the students who enrolled in five courses in the ELI is 66.67%. The courses of the ELI have many advantages for the student to become better for example they have many exercise for practice. In addition, the ELI has many activities, they are increasing every semester. The ELI is a good place to learn the English language. I recommend the ELI to every student who wants to study English.

Recycling is very important to make our valuable resource last longer. While convince the people by recycling is not always easy. There are three possible solutions to get people to recycle: educate the people about the advantages of recycling, encourage them by providing prizes or gifts, punishment them for failing to recycle.

At first, ANON_NAME_0 and ANON_NAME_1 have a lot of things in common. Both ANON_NAME_0 and ANON_ NAME_1 are cooperative students. They always help anyone in the class who needs help. Also, ANON_NAME_0 is as studious as ANON_NAME_1. For example, ANON_NAME_0 always asks questions and he always does his homework. ANON_NAME_1 is a good note taker and he always tries to get perfect score on his tests. Actually, I knew these things about them because they have the same classes as me.

Although, they have many things in common, there are several differences between them. In so far as personality, while ANON_NAME_1 is shy, ANON_NAME_0 is a social person. Also, ANON_NAME_0 is from Libya, but ANON_NAME_1 is from Korea. So, ANON_NAME_0’s native language is Arabic; however, ANON_NAME_1 ’s native language is Korean. ANON_NAME_0 speaks very fast, but ANON_ NAME_1 speaks slowly.

In conclusion, after I analyzed the similarities and differences between ANON_NAME_0 and ANON_NAME_1,1 think I chose the right person as a partner. Working with a partner from different country, with a different culture and a different language has many advantages, such as the exchange of information about culture. The most important advantage about working with a partner is that we have to use the English language to understand each other. I found all of these things in ANON_NAME_1, so I chose ANON_NAME_1 as a partner.

First of all, educate the people about the advantages of recycling is very important to get them to recycle. For instance, everybody should be aware that there are many items causes problem to the environment. “This one of the most commonly used approaches it seems. Scare people with the facts about global warming, the mountains of west we create and the air, water and land pollution everywhere.” (2007, JPDD, ->52)y recycling we can protect the environment. Also, recycling useful way to save money, because the items that we recycle them we can buy them by cost cheaper than before.

Another solution to this problem, we can get people to recycle by providing prizes or gifts. To illustrate, at school we can provide gifts to students who recycle any used things at school especially, their own items. In addition, when the employees that are recycling receive rising on their salary. Consequently, that will make the employees compete on recycling.

Moreover, last solution which we can use due to being the previous solutions are not successful is scare the people by making programs in every channel on TV or radio that issue possibility of punishing people for failing to recycle. The punishment is by paying high value of money or taking them to prison for months.

In conclusion, the people should be smart enough to protecting their environment, saving money and avid spending even few hours in the prison. Hopefully, these solutions achieve our target that was getting people to recycle.

Life with or without children

There are different opinions about having children. Some people choose the life with children and they can’t imagine their life without child while some people decide to live without children. Both have reasons for their decisions. Many people believe that the life without children is happier than it without, however, after my experience of having children many aspects revealed the opposite.

Although, many couples know that they came to the life from their parent for making the life continues, they simply decide to live without children. In fact, they always have different reasons. For instance, the most important reason for their decision is saving money they believe that having children requires spending a lot of money to meet children’s needs. Another reason is they will feel less freedom after they had children. To illustrate, they can’t spend a lot of time outside, they can’t also travel from place to place easy. Since they have to worry about the weather of any place they will travel to if it is appropriate for their children or not. Actually, they don’t want to be worried about any thing they need their life continues as the beginning of their marriage. Therefore, people with these opinions have difficulties of imaging having a child. (Children- free-living life without children).

Some people are thinking differently. They consider having a child is the most exciting event in their life. Since having a baby will change their life from a cold life to excited life. Seen their baby growing up everyday gives them a great feeling about what they did they gave life to new person to sharing them the life. So their interests are about meeting their child needs and also they don’t consider they money that they spend their child is wasted money. In addition, they try to catch any chance to spend time with their child. They believe that they can make balance between their special interests and time and the time, which they spend with their child. Moreover, they think that traveling more enjoyable with their children.

Raising the Driving Age

Every day the number of accidents and victims increase. Many statistics have proved that one of the underlying reasons is driving at a young age. In fact, driving at a young age is very dangerous. It usually ends up with victims, which sometimes include the driver. Therefore, the driving age should be raised from 16 to 18.

Many scientists consider driving at 16 very dangerous 2because at this age the area of the brain called the executive branch is not developed. According to ANON_NAME_0 David, “New findings from brain researchers at the National Institutes of Health explain for the first time why efforts to protect the youngest drivers usually fail. The weak link: what’s called “the executive branch “of the teen brain, the part that weighs risk, makes judgments and controls impulsive behavior. Scientists at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., have found that this vital area develops through the teenage years and isn’t fully mature until age 25.” Therefore teenagers at this age shouldn’t be allowed to drive because they cannot control their behavior.

In addition, the brain’s response to the stress of driving at age 18 is more responsible than the response at age 16, which is more emotion. People at age 18 can get married. Giving them this right is evidence that people at this age are adult enough to make decisions in many aspects in their lives, so it makes sense that the driving age should be raised tol8.

Another reason for raising the driving age is to save more lives. The number of cases of death by accident increase every day and statistics reveal that most of these accidents were caused by age 16 drivers “On average, two people die every day across the USA in vehicles driven by 16-year-old drivers. One in five 16 year-olds will have a reportable car crash within the first year,” said ANON_NAME_1. (USA TODAY)

In contrast, the life without child is more freedom but it less excited. People who have ability to have baby are not aware about the feeling of disability to have a baby. Recently, there are a lot of research to help many couples to have baby every couple waiting in hops having baby “When Pamela Mahoney and Alex Tsigdinos were married, they never thought they would have trouble having a baby. But after 11 years and many fertility treatments, they are still only a family of two” (Barrow, 2008). On other hand, the life with child is a stable life and plenty of happiness.

In conclusion, looking for appropriate style of life depends on people’s opinions. People usually are different in their framework about style of life and about the future having baby is one of them. Some have desire of having baby, and some not. In my opinion, having baby has many good impacts on our life at present and in the future.

Another point for raising the driving age is reducing the terrible impact on parents. Many parents have lost their children because of driving at 16 years old. Gayle Bell, whose 16-year-old daughter, Jessie, rolled her small car into a Missouri ditch and died in July 2003, said that she used to happily be Jessie’s “ride.” She would give anything to drive Jessie again. Losing children in a car accident affects their parents. Those parents live in a difficult situation; they miss their children and they regret their decision that allows them to drive early.

Despite these reasons, some people argue about raising the driving age. They consider driving at 16 ages a good idea for two reasons: one is because teenagers need to learn to drive when they are still under observation their parents. In addition, raising the age to 18 when teens have no supervision makes many events come together. At this age, they are in college and at this age the desire to try alcohol starts. The other reason for an argument is parents feel inconvenienced when they have to take their children to school or any place their children want, which will decrease the participation of children in many activities. (Clark, 2008) However, after new research has suggested that there is a natural problem in 16-year-old’s brains negates control their behavior, parents care has nothing to do with that. Even though they can control how many times their children can use their car and when, they cannot control their decisions during driving, especially when they drive alone. Therefore, refusing to raise the driving age for this reason is not a rationale.

In conclusion, after reviewing these physical and social reasons, which support the necessity of raising the driving age. After all the research also that explain why age 16 too young to drive a car, there is no reason to refuse to raise the minimum driving age. To save lives and reduce the impact on parents should be ruled that the driving age is 18.
