P.E

The reason why we support that the physical education is required to the students is because it makes them healthy. By doing physical education, students exercise. When exercising, people gain energy, uses bones and muscles more often. Using bone and muscles make people healthy because it gives positive effects to kidney and liver. Also, it prevents big wound during accidents. when we exercise. As a common sense, people knows that weak and unhealthy person is easy to get wounded during accidents, and healthy person are 90% made with physical education, says our P.E teacher. For example, there is a girl in our class and she doesn't like P.E class, do not participate in the exercising and even don't like to move. She is the weakest girl at our class. Breaking both legs is very common every 3months and she has a bleeding nose once a week. Our health teacher once came to our class to tell the importance of physical education

 The reason why we support that the physical education is required to the students is because it help grow teamwork and cooperation. There are sports that we have to do it by themselves but most of the sports are being happened when there are lots of people and they requires teamwork and cooperation. To win, they have to gather their mind on one thing make a plan and conjugate it in the game. It helps win on the sports game too but it also help on other places, and in societies. At business, there are lots of meetings and if there are lots of crashes between other workers, you might be fired or be leveled down from where you were. For example there are statistics that says that the athletes have adjusted more to the societies then others, says 2007's Korean Herald. the physical education can be the way to success. so it should be required to the students.

 The reason why we support that the physical education is required to the students is because it help grow endurance. When we grow endurance, it is good for our health but it also leads to success, and enjoy and have a fulfilling feeling in our mind. For example, why do you go hiking? There are lots of reason such as diet, or to take picture but the most important reason is because of the endurance. The endurance gives positive effects to life. Endurance thought has optimistic thoughts like never giving up, trying again and again.

Books? Movie from book?

"The best seller Harry Potter has just been released on movies." Harry Potter is famous for both movie and the original books. However, they are slightly different. The original book version is better. The movie provides fun, but the books provide more details. Also, books can provide knowledge, while the movie reduces that knowledge to create entertainment for the viewers to watch. Lastly, the book gives unlimited imagination whereas the movie just produces images that blocks the imagination.

Primarily, the books are more important because they have more details than movies while movies provide just details about the character setting or plot. Thus, the readers can get a more specific image. However in the movie, they have only specific scenes with more broader details. For example, in the book, it said that "Sarah had plain green eyes with long eye lashes, and red lips. Also she had long curly blonde hair." However when the movie was made, the actor was a brown haired girl with blue eyes and it didn't provide any in depth details about that character It just show how the story was running. Therefore, because the book provide more careful details than movies, reading the original book is better than watching the movie adaptation.

Second, generally the books provide more knowledge than the movie, lots of parts are removed or replaced with other scenes to provide entertainment. Most of these parts are crucial or significant to the overall knowledge of the book. When watching movie to prevent from someone falling asleep, they take out all the boring parts, which usually are parts that contain knowledge. When I read the "Percy Jackson", there were a lot of stories about Greek/Roman myths and actually I really enjoyed it. It was like a background of the story and it was very important. However, when I watched the movie with anticipation, only the minor parts of the story comes out. Even though it's a myth, it was very educational. Like this example, the movie provides less knowledge than the books, so I believe that it is more necessary to read books.

Last but not least, the movie blocks people's imagination while the book provides unlimited imagination.When reading books, people meet the main characters visit places, everywhere such as ancient Greece or Olympus. However, when watching movies, they make a outline of what have to look like or the place. for example, "Percy Jackson" when reading book, I imagined Annabeth as a pretty girl, but she came out not that pretty so it ruined my imagination of the story. Thus the book is better than the movie version.





With these reasons I believe books are better than movies. The books may feel more uninteresting but once we enter the story, we are in other place, and also have more benfits than movies.

school should help new students

The school should help the students because they are the ones who knows most about the curriculum of the school. when one enters the new classroom, with just looking at the timetable, they cannot understand all the curriculum. They don't know agenda, or what time it ends, or etc. It will take hard times to get used to it because one can be used to the agenda from the last school. If the school, they can get courage and also get advices so they can be adapted faster. As a personal experience, when I went to Canada, the school curriculum was very different from school in Korea. It seemed like a high mountain I have to climb over. The school helped me with the problem, so it shortened the time adapting to the new school. Also, I got courage that I can do well at this school. Thus, the school should help the student because the new students doesn't know well about the new school's curriculum.



If the school doesn't help, first the student just faces struggle but later it can lead to social pariah and depression. At MIT researched that transfer students suicide twice as more as the original students. This show that the students moving to new school faces more physical problems. When the school doesn't help, one has no place to rely on to adapt to the new school and new friends. With that, the emotional pain starts. If one doesn't blend in with other students, then they can be a pariah and feel like not part of the school. If the school helps, such as telling the new student what the students are like, or telling the original student what to not say as a manner. Then they can get around well together easier, Also, when the school does not help. the new student can feel like nobody is on her side and feel very depressed. Thus, the school should help the new student because it can lead make emotional pain to that student.



The school should help the new students because the teacher are the most comfortable person to talk about the problem they face at school. Always, when we are being educated they tell that tell the teacher first, then the principle, than the parents. Actually the statistic shows that approximately 62% of the students says that if they have problem in the new school, they will ask the teachers for help. If they tell their mother, they will be worried or it can become bigger problem. If they tell the teacher, the teacher is like a ruler of the classroom, so the they can help more easily considering the situation. This can help the transfer student to be well adapted to the new school. Thus, the school should help because the teacher is the most comfortable person to discuss the problem and ask for help.

Since this year I'm turning into middle school, I was very nervous and curious what middle school I would go. In Wednesday, the result came out. I am going to Sewha Middle School for girls. It is a girl school and it is famous for being strict school in out town.

The happy thing is that all of my best friends attend same school, and is in the same class again! Also, there are only girls, not boys who teases me.

However the unhappy thing is that I have to work hard, really hard! Girls tries really hard and it is really hard to be the best! I bought every boooks I need and is studying from now. I think it is going to busy 3 years.

Also, it is so strict
1. I have to go to 8:15 to school. I am very lazy and I love to sleep so this is the worst thing for me.
2. Every students only have to wear uniform, always. However, it is really ugly. Its green uniform with checks. But since everyone wearsi it, I think it is okay.
3. Also, the sisters who is in higher grades are very scary.
4. We can't perm, or do anyting to our hair and clothes.

But if I try hard, I believe I can adapt well to the new school, FIGHTING!!!!!

Formal Debate

Topic: Downloading music and/or movie without permission is an example of theft and is immoral
Role: Prime minister
Side: Government

Research

In the United States of America, unauthorized redistribution, reproduction and adaptation of music is illegal. When people download music illegally, artists and technicians, along with record companies and music stores suffer financial losses. The Recording Industry Association of America and professionals in the music industry, therefore began filing lawsuits against people who download music illegally. They also conduct campaigns to spread awareness about the consequences of downloading music illegally. The unauthorized downloaders of music are subject to lawsuits as well as criminal penalties. The penalties can vary anywhere between $750 to $250,000. The penalties for downloading music illegally, can also be in the form of up to five years of imprisonment. They vary depending on the degree of copyright infringement.

 When downloading music, most of the consumers want to buy free mp3 files and they search for. However, many of them are illegal sites. Also, since nowadays, smart phones are very popular; there are free apps that can download music freely. According to digital times, online newspaper, says that association of producers of phonograms found 12 apps that are illegal downloading app.




Speech


Nowadays, most people have mp3 or smart phones for listening music and when the music is out, mp3 files are very popular. Do you know 4shared.com? It’s a free music download site and many consumers actually like it. However, this can be a very big obstacle in music industry.


 Hello ladies and Gentleman, and honorable judge, I am the prime minister and we are here to debate on the motion of this house believes that downloading music and/or movie without permission is an example of theft and is immoral. As the government, we strongly support this motion. Before I layout our arguments on why we support the motion, we would like to define the house as the world (because it is a worldwide issue), without permission as downloading freely instead of downloading with legal steps. Now I would lay out the background of this debate. After the 1990s, copying music became easier than before because of development of mp3 and spread of internet. With only one click of music lovers, the music can be copied. This might’ve been good news to the listener but fatal problem to the singers or artists and whether this can be theft of not became worldwide issue.

Primarily, the artist cannot make any profit and we might not be able to listen to good songs anymore. Do you know how much money it costs when a singer or group of singers make one album. At least 400 thousand dollars, and one of the famous artist Rihanna, according to npr site, used 2million dollar on just one song called man down. That is amazing number. Most albums cost from 5$ to 12$. If the people buy a lot, the artist may earn profit. But! Now the people prefer downloading on the websites, sometimes freely or sometimes with very small amount of money that will not return to the artist. If this continues and people download more and more music, the artist may not make profit and it might lead to bigger problems such as artists retiring or stop their job. Let’s say there is an artist. He is a fullime musician because he loves music. However, many people will download his music, for free and this can mean that music will not help with the income which means that he have to take up a job. So later, his talent and skills will be underdeveloped, and the songs he write will be not like before. This shows that downloading music without permission will lead to fewer good musicians. This is not just bad for the musician but also bad for us because we cannot listen to good music anymore.
