    Really convincing. I'm against school uniforms too. Some adults say uniforms help prevent gangs in schools but it's not like that...

  • Green Olympics.

    In my opinion the rules are set just to be obeyed in a short time, just to show the world "we DO care about the environment" and to attract visitors. Just a way to help China support their seat in WTO.Anyhow that kind of pretence in Asian countries local goverments to the national orders Keir mentioned in the paper happens so frequently that I acknowledge it as a common illness in political lines.Serena

  • To Keir

    I think you didn't get me. I'm a Vietnamese and I know 500 dead is nothing compared to the real number and other alike massacres.I know more terrible things happened during the war in Vietnam.I know there's a similar event going on in Iraq and I'm not ignorant.I just said , I hope there WILL be no such catastrophe anymore.Though My Lai is uncovered but there must be some hidden information. Anyhow time changes and nowadays there's no more sign of the heart breaking war consequence.

  • Worthy.

    You've learned english for only 3 years? Wow, reading your essay gives me a feeling that you must be some natives or at least have a long time learning it.I do agree with your statement there's always something should be learned and stored for later use. BUT not all of the things we are taught are worth learning. I know mathematics is quite important but in fact, I long to be hotel manager, so what will I do with stuffs like algebra and calculus?Good written essay. Hope to read more of yours.Serena

  • My Lai massacre.

    500 unarmed people killed! There were even a saying: "anything that's dead and not white is a Vietcong"This is something I read from http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/mylai/Myl_intro.html:"A group of fifteen to twenty mostly older women were gathered around a temple, kneeling and praying. They were all executed with shots to the back of their heads. Eighty or so villagers were taken from their homes and herded to the plaza area. As many cried "No VC! No VC!", Calley told soldier Paul Meadlo, "You know what I want you to do with them". When Calley returned ten minutes later and found the Vietnamese still gathered in the plaza he reportedly said to Meadlo, "Haven't you got rid of them yet? I want them dead. Waste them." Meadlo and Calley began firing into the group from a distance of ten to fifteen feet. The few that survived did so because they were covered by the bodies of those less fortunate."Hope someday there will be no more wars and no more My Lai event.

  • Friends

    "There are some people just walk pass your life but their footprints will last forever."I read this saying somewhere. Like, even your friend can't be with you lifelong but she will always be in your heart, your memory, and that's enough. Because the most important thing is the feeling that you had a real best friend with the true meaning of the " best" word.

  • Tolerance.

    "We all would appreciate the others being good to us so we should be equally good to them."Have you mentioned the part of I-treated-you-well-but-then-you-upseted-me-so-what-would-I-do?If one is good to others but then they just aren't the same to him, should he continue his tolerance?

  • Comparing these too methods.

    The part about Asian teaching technique is quite true.As an Asian student I dare say we dont' have much time for free thinking stuffs.And the scoring thing makes us compete with each other for grades.But in the other hands it makes us want to cheat more and more to get the wanted grade.Anyhow you haven't pointed out which do u think is the most suitable and beneficial for students

  • Homeschooling ???

    Well ... as for me I think if the kids are homeschooled they can have more free time to join some social activities. Can't say they are less social-raised than normal kids.

    Teachers aren't easily fooled by those methods.Anyway the skirt one is effective- for girls only- but if the teacher's a female then it's risky anyway, apart from that, in winter days you just CAN'T wear skirt.

    I do get the feeling you show, the incredible winning and miraclous memory but your conclusion somehow upsets me a bit.It's way too cut-off like you haven't finish it yet.Anyhow wish you good luck. Make your dream come true and join Italian team.

  • Ideal Women.

    Women do know all about this but they just can't stop trying to be "perfect."I read somewhere... like a paper, said if Barbie were a real woman she'd die cuz her neck can't lift up her head. Her impossibly-slim body can cause ilnesses as well

  • Harry Potter!

    You should figure out more about the attractiveness of the book.Focus on why people should read it, on how you find it that interesting, and what makes Harry well known all over the world, not the content of the book.After reading it they'll know.Anyway, enjoy reading it.
