1. The boy was passing by when he saw that
there was a lot of people in the school library. He
went to see what the people were there for. It was
something amusing to his sight. He saw his
favorite international basketball star reading stories
to children, and while he struggled to inch his way
near the celebrity, his heart pounded in
excitement, as he thought of seeing him up close,
and maybe shaking hands and having picture with
him. It was not long when he was already there, in
front of him. And he could only tell himself that
wishes really come true.
2. It is well known that Korea’s traditional morality has been
strongly influenced by Confucianism centered around the family.
On the other hand, today’s Korean students has the
preconceived notion that Confucian moral philosophy is
“obsolete” and that the family-first trend should also be
drastically revised. However, our survey on the student’s moral
view unexpectedly shows that he is conservative and that he is
actually not so far away from the traditional moral views of
Confucianism as he thinks he is. The Korean student agrees in
principle that he should uphold filial duties and he does not dare
to deny parental merits or his duty to support his parents in their
old age.

The Changing Morals of Korean Students
3. We work more but make less. Why? Because we act
on such a pygmy scale. Abroad they would think you may if
you went in a store and tried to buy one stick of cigarette.
They don’t operate on the scale. The difference is greater
than between having and no having; the difference is in the
way of thinking. They are accustomed to thinking
dynamically. We have three habit, whatever our individual
resources, of thinking poor, of thinking petty.

Is that the explanation for our continuing failure to rise-

that we buy small and sell small that we think small and do
small?
 4. UAE: Changes to regulation on employment contracts
announced
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation
(MoHRE) has announced amendments to the decree-law on
the Regulation of Employment Relationship.

Under the new amendments, employment contracts

must cover a defined term, which can be renewed subject to
an agreement by both parties to a contractual relationship.
The law does not set a cap on that term period.

The amendment aims to protect both parties in a

balanced way; advances the labour market’s growth and
stability; and enhances the UAE’s economic
competitiveness.
 Dr. Abdulrahman Al Awar, Minister of Human
Resources and Emiratisation, said: “The UAE
Government continues to develop regulations and
laws that align with what the next 50 years of UAE’s
development demand. The laws and regulations
support our business environment’s stability and
improve its resiliency and attractiveness. The
regulations follow the UAE’s advanced
developmental model, and its fundamentals and
principles that are built on justice, respecting
human rights and staying ahead of changes. This
guarantees the UAE’s continued progress, stability
and pioneering stature.”

about it.
Expository- UAE National Agenda
Persuasive- Fighting against bullying is
everyone’s concern
Narrative- Success Story of the Founding
