ESSAY: "Technology in education"

" No one can deny the crucial part that technology plays in our society, especially in educational field, but
some peoples say that it affects people in many ways and some others argue that it brings them a lot of benefits.
This essay will discuss two sides of the issue."
One of the most important tools in the profession of education has always been technology. Society seems to be
fascinated by the eruption of technological advancements in the education field. This essay will focus two sides
of the issue.
Let's begin with the negative aspects of technology in education. Many people use computers without
positive purpose. They play games and chat for along period of time. This causes waste of time and energy.
Young generation is now spending more time on the social media websites like facebook …or texting their
friends all night which is bad for both studies and their health. And it also has adverse affects on the social life.
For example, student will be lazy in their studying because computer can help them to find the answers easily
and quickly. As a result, they have poor studying habits and increase a lazy attitude toward their education.
Furthermore, teachers and parents can not control what their children are doing.
On the other hand, there are many benefits which the computer offers, especially for people who need to
improve their knowledge in order to achieve a successful life in the future. It helps to promote independent
learning for students who can learn on independently without the assistance of their teacher or parents.
Moreover, teaching by using computer or technology promotes exciting ways to educate students. For example,
teacher can use a video clip or a picture which is downloaded from internet to serve/assist their lectures. It
always is an effective way in helping teacher to become more successful in education field.
All the things are considered, it is my belief that technology has created wonderful changes in our life
which makes our everyday life easier despite some negative points. Anyway, technology is a good device helps
to bring us a happy life in many different fields, especially in education.
ESSAY “ Technology in our life”
No one can deny the crucial part that technology plays in our life, but some people say that it causes
disasters, and some others argue that it brings about a lot of benefits. In this essay, I am going to look at both
sides of the arguments in different aspects of life and explain why I think people are overemphazing its bad
influences.
To begin with communication. Thanks to the latest technological inventions, nowadays we can
communicate with each other in ways that our ancestors could hardly dream of. For example, email has changed
the way we used to send a letter. What is more, the internet can allow us to stay in touch with all people in the
world and to provide us with information need with just some ways clicks on the keyboard.
On the other hand, it is obvious that technology can bring some drawbacks, using too much the internet
also causes us many problems. The first one is to our health. Some people spend too much time searching and
playing on the internet, which is not good for their brains and eyes. In addition, some programmes on the internet
contain bad contents such as violence or sex which are not good for young people's mental life.
To sum up, it is my belief that technology has created wonderful changes in our life. I am not imagine
how our life would be if one day some hi-tech appliances we are using suddenly disappear.
ESSAY “ Fame brings happiness”
There are many young people who agree with the idea that fame brings happiness, but I don’t know if
they are really happy or the way they act is only a mask of their lives. This essay will focus on this issue.
Few people argue the fact that fame attracts both positive and negative publicity. The media may choose
to praise a star and then attack them the next with critical articles and unflattering photos. Moreover it is
probably true to say that some celebrities do not know who they can rely on as a genuine friend and who is likely
to benefit for their own gain. It is also case that fame doesn’t last if you have been used to the spotlight.
One the other hand, being famous can be open up some opportunities. One can indulge oneself with
luxury homes and travel to beautiful destinations or do some good things through charity work or simply by
lending one’s name to a project. Additionally, if you are famous for being a heart surgeon, for instance, then
hopefully, the pride you take in your work must aquate to some forms of happiness.
In conclusion, young people who believe that fame brings happiness might not be entirely wrong. If you
can maintain a degree of privacy keep yourself- respect and hold onto a trust worthy circle of friend, being
famous might be an occupation worth pursuing.
ESSAY: environment
Our environment has changed very drastically in recent years. There are a lot of causes that are damaging
our environment such as air pollution, water pollution. In this essay, I am going to look at its problems and make
suggestions to solve them.
To begin with water pollution. Everyday, thousands of tons of industrial rubbish, domestic waste are
thrown in the forest or poured into the rivers. In addition, artificial fertilizers from farmland and pesticides are
also contributors to water pollution. Everything is caused by human activities, so this pollution can be prevented
by things we do every day. For example, we can use recycled paper and governments should fine heavily those
who litter in public places.
Air pollution is one of environmental problems. Nowadays people use means of transportation. Fumes,
dirty from trucks, cars, trains causes immense amounts of pollutions. What is more, dust from factories
discharges chemicals into the atmosphere and fossil fuels , coat, gas and oil are burned to provide energy for
lighting and cooking that make air contaminated. From all of the above issues, we should focus on attention, on
the way to prevent our environment by encouraging people to use public transport such as a bus, a bike instead of
using a car for a trip. Furthermore, government should pass laws to ban the burning of fuels as well as the release
of chemical wastes.
In sum, our environment is being threatened seriously by human activities. If we continue contaminating
it, our lives will be in danger. Every one should have responsibility to preserve it better.
ESSAY: Tourism
Tourism plays a crucial part in the modern society. But some people say that it affects the development of
a country in some ways, and some others argue that it brings a lot of benefits to us . In this essay, I am going to
look at both sides of tourism.
To begin with the economic benefits. Thanks to a large number of tourists traveling to a country for
vacations, tourism can provide more jobs for the local people such as tour guides, hotel housekeepers. What is
more visitors’spending on manufactured goods not only generates income for the local community, but also
makes country wealthier.
However, tourism can lead to some problems. First of all, the appearance of many tourists at a time can
cause environmental damage as well as non- emotional tour sports. In addition, both the exhaust fumes from
motor vehicles and the amount of rubbish can make the air polluted. Third, it is difficult for the local to use many
vehicles to transport tourists. That is why, there are traffic jams, especially in the rush hours.
To sum up, tourism can have bad and good effects on the environment, the economy and transport. In my
opinion, people should travel and visit new places, but they should obey the rules of the local places.
ESSAY: mobile phone
The mobile phone play a crucial part in our modern life, but some people say that it affects us in many
ways, and some others argue that it brings us a lot of benefits. In this essay, I am going to look at both sides of
arguments.
It is generally believed that the mobile phone has become popular because of its convenience. One of
advantages of having a mobile phone is that you can keep in touch with your relatives , friends by making a
phone call or send a message everywhere. Thus, having your own mobile phone is very popular today.
Moreover, we cannot delay that mobile phone support us in several aspects of life, especially in business
having access to the internet , contacting with partnerships , Besides, the mobile phone is one of the forms of
daily entertainment., people use them to play games, listen to music or watch their favorite films.
On the other hand, it is obvious that mobile phone can bring some drawbacks, Using too much the mobile
phone might affect our brain, particularly children doctors say that too much mobile phone using can cause
effects such as dizziness, ear problems and so on… Furthermore it is dangerous that there have been many
accidents
Because drive use the mobile phone while they are driving. Additionally, the radiation caused by mobile phones
can be harmful to your ear and your sleep.
In Conclusion, possessing the mobile phone can help us to get access to all aspects of life though it is not
good for our health. We have to reduce its bad impact on our life as much as possible.
ESSAY: Degree
Further education plays an important part in increasing our knowledge, but suppoters maintain that it
brings a lot of benefits to young people. While opponents claim that it has been effects on them. In this essay, I
am going to look at both sides of arguments.
 It is generally believed that further education brings young people many advantages . First of all, their
knowledge will increase. For this reason, when they continue studying for a degree in any fields, they not only
consolidate the theoretical subjects they have learnt at high school, but also focus mainly on practical skills.
What is more, further education makes significant contributions to the development of their knowledge of both
theory and practice which help young people do their jobs more effectively.
On the other hand, there are some negatives of further education. On disadvantage is that it takes young
People a lot of time because most of them have to go to work during the day time and then they have to go to
school in the evening. Therefore, they do not have much free time to relax as well as help their family do
housework. Another negative aspect of further education is that it is costly because fees for studying is high
compared with young people’s monthly income. As a result, many have no conditions to take part in the extra
classes. The biggest drawback is that reality has shown that the quality of further education is not always good
because of a short term course which is not enough time for learner to get knowledge.
To sum up, although further education is very necessary for young people to increase their knowledge, it
has many negative points. In my opinion, if every young person is aware of the importance of further education,
their knowledge will certainly be improved.
REPORT: A report on the study centre
Introduction
The aim of this report is to present the results of the questionairs of the study centre and to offer some
suggestions to improve the situation.
Opening hours
The opening time is only two hours, so there is not enough time for students to study/ prepare their lessons.
Therefore I recommend that we should have a longer opening time, for example 4 or 5 hours. The time table is
not very convenient, because by the time the center is close, there is no bus for students to catch to return home,
which is why I think we should open the center at lunch time instead.
Facilities
There are only three computers available and what is more, each students can use up to 15 minutes, so the time is
too short for them to search “ the web for information”. I suggest that we should allow students longer time to
use computer, but ideally, the centre should purchase more CDs. And what is worse is that all the books are too
outdated , as a consequence, students cannot find what they want for their lessons. That is why, I think we should
buy new books or even allow the users to borrow CDrooms.
Atmosphere
Although the staff are wonderful and always ready to help, the students are annoyed because of the use of call
phones, so I think we should put up a sign which say that phones are not used here.
Conclusion
To sum up, the questionaires seem to reveal some areas students are not happy with. If the suggested changes are
implemented. I believe that more students would come to use the center in the future.
REPORT: A report on a week training course
Introduction
The aim of this report is to describe my one week’s training course in management skills and to make
recommendations for the future.
Class size
The class included a large numbers of participants, so there was not enough time for them to ask teachers many
questions. It would be preferable if the participants could be divided into groups of five or six so that they could
cover all the questions as well as get knowledge effectively.
Amounts of work
The course had a lot of useful activities which put theory into practice. It was a chance for us to get more
knowledge. However, the seminar was so packed that we were exhausted and stressed. For this reason, I think we
should reduce the content of the seminar. What is more, the were many handouts we were interested in, but the
length of time is not too short for us to read, which is why I think we should have longer time to do this activity.
Efficiency
Although the course was very hard, the participants took part in it actively. As a result, they gained good results
from the course. Nevertheless, in my opinion, we will be more successful if we notice some problems in the
course and make some changes.
Conclusion
To sum up, we made a success in this course despite the limitations mentioned above, If the suggestions are
implemented, I think that more colleagues would participate in the next course.
PROPOSAL:
Introduction
The aim of this proposal is to outline areas which need being improved and to offer suggestions for the event.
Time
The event lasted a long day, but students did not have enough time for questions because there were a lot of
breaks. It means that the timetable was not very appropriate. For this reason, I recommend that we should adjust
the time to suit the activity planned. For example, there should be fewer breaks to save time for questions.
Activities
Although the lecture was useful, they only discussed jobs and there was little time to talk about university
courses . Furthermore, workshops were not effective because students focused on theory instead of practice. As
a result, they have bad effects. That is why, I would like to recommend that we should choose parallel workshops
so that we can save time.
Organization
This event was not a success because of the way it was organized. The breaks made students dissatisfied because
they took so much time. I suggest that there should be one break. In addition, students were so busy that they did
not have time for their lunch, so a lunch should be served after working long hours. Moreover, it is necessary for
students to have parallel workshops where students can cover all the issues. Finally, there should be a follow –
up session so that the elder students can share their work experience.
Conclusion
To sum up, I believe that the areas mentioned in this proposal are most in need in improvement. If the
recommendations are followed, I think the coming event would be successful.

REFERENCE LETTER:
Dear sir or Madam,
I am writing with response to some problems about the students’behaviour. As a member of this group, I
would like to point out a few inaccuracies written in your letter.
First of all, as the matter of fact, students have not seen each other for a long time and this is an
opportunity for them to gather. They sang, danced and chatted happily. That is why, they make a noise on the
first night.
In addition, your article said that there were a number of chairs broken. In fact, there was only one. It is
not fair if you blame us for doing this. You complained in the letter that all the walls were filled with graffiti. The
situation was true, but I would like to make clear that many of graffiti had already been there that is to say
someone had drawn a lot of unpleasant drawings on the walls before we arrived.
Finally, there might be an misunderstanding when it is said that the condition of the kitchen areas was
poor, but the truth is that when we arrived there, it had been dirty and disorderly. We spent two hours to tidy up
it. As a result, it is cleaner than when we got there.
With all the problems mentioned above, we would be grateful if you considered your decision tolerantly.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Your faithfully,
DEAR SIR,
I am writing to complain about the unsatisfactory regulations at the university library.
Firstly, I am delighted with the peace of the library and it is very necessary for students to study in a quite
place. However, some students use cell phone, which annoys others because they can not concentrate on their
studies. Therefore, I think more specific regulations for the use of cell phones should be added.
Secondly, it is written in the extract that there are the specially designed areas, where students are
allowed to eat, drink and smoke, but they are near the study areas. So students do not pay attention to their
lessons. For this reason, I would recommend moving these areas so that students would not affected.
In addition, some cases of students breaking the rules of the library were reported to a member of staff.
Nevertherless, she ignored what I said . Lack of working in serious and strict manner will get bad results.
Perhaps, you should consider the ways your staff work.
Third, while students are not allowed to play personal stereo, they are permitted to play games on the computers.
This is time-consuming and effects their studies because they spent a lot of time on their hobbies. I suggest that
these problems should be solved if you want to raise the quality of study for your students. Finally, there are not
enough CDs for students to study , which has affected a number of students. That is why, I think we should buy
more CDS.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. I hope you will look into the problems and take the necessary
steps to make the library more useful for us.
DEAR SIR OR MADAM
I am writing in response to your complaint in an article about college. Being one of the organizers, I would like
to point out a few inaccuracies written in your article.
First of all, the articles said that the children’sparty was not successful. It is not true because approximately 120
kids took part in this activity happily, which made their parents satisfied.
In addition, the children not only had a good time, but also were served delicious food and drinks. However, the
time for lunch was from twelve to fourteen o’clock. That is why, there was not any food left by half past two.
Third, although we did not supply enough rides for most of children, they can watch other performances such as
clowns, jugglers…
Finally, we are really sorry about the bad layout of the drawing of the areas. We will draw it more clearly the
neat time. However, there might be a misunderstanding when it is said that the college is spending tax payer’s
money. The truth is that the money used for the party was paid by students.
With all the problems mentioned above, I would be glad if you published another article, editing the
incorrect information.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Writing "a letter referance"

I am writing to you on behalf of my studnets, miss Lan, who is goingto apply for a job as a tourist guide in your
history nuseum company.
I have known Lan for approximately six years. She always friendly and get on well with people of all ages,
especially students. She has a great sense of humour and she is capable of keeping her temple if she thinks
someone is making a fool out of her. For this reason, I believe that she would definetly be able to cope if things
happen in your museum.
In addition, Lan has got a good skill of communicatio. She is always confidents in speaking in public and
they are persuaded by her speaking ability.
Another thing about Lan is that she has a good general knowledge about history and cultural of the local areas
due to working along time in the library of school before where she study related to her career/job.
In my opinion with this charecter I think my frind, Lan would be suitalbe for this job. I have no hesitation
