When I was a child, I began to write the sentences from the pictures. Maybe, I was lack of imagination at that time, so I couldn’t make out a few words even when I tried my best. Later, I wrote the narration that was boring. I always did not know what to write. I still remember, one night I was struggling with writing. The writing topic was “the happiest day”. I was happy when I got an “A” on math test, made new friends and so on. I had all the happiest things but I just didn’t know how to write it down. So mom told me something, she said: “life is like an empty box and you should read books to make it full.” So for writing, I have the following ways I write best: first, making friends with books because books are the knowledge of the …show more content…

I still wrote narration, however, I preferred the argumentative essay. Argumentative essay often has clear opinions and I can state the reasons why agree with one holding and why I do not agree with other holdings. I still remember my Chinese teacher asked me to debate with other students 3 days later. Well, I am a outgoing girl so I always talk to others so that I have persuasiveness. I was so nervous to prepare the materials. My Chinese teacher saw me and gave me advices. “It’s okay, ziyun. ” she said. “Do you know why I choose you to do the debate? First of all, you have outgoing personality. Also, I saw your argumentative essay and I ‘m pretty sure that your mind is clear and you can do this!

This is the beginning of another life. Everything changed in my life. I have to say my broken English everyday and I even couldn’t say other words especially when my world literature teacher ask me to introduce my city and my country. I had various words and my head burst out different beautiful scene of my country but I didn’t know how to say. All the students looked at me and I knew they are curious about my country. If an international student came to my class, I would be also curious about her country, custom and so on. So after class Mrs. Sue came over and tried to communicate with me, but I have to use translator to talk with her. She recommended me to write it down. And Mrs. Sue would like to read it in class for me. Then I wrote an essay about my hometown Zhengzhou City. I wrote Shaolin Temple, Yellow River. When Mrs. Sue read my paper in class I could tell that everyone was listening carefully. But one problem showed up: they have more questions want to ask me and they hope I could write more about my country. So I tried my best to answer their questions and promised them that I would write more essays to introduce my country. After that, I made friends with Americans and communicate with them so that my spoken English is

““Well, they had a point. You are fat and disgusting!” The therapist announced. Patricia was sobbing, eyes red and nose runny...“Come on… Let’s go. We aren’t putting up with that!” her father...opened the door and ushered the family through. The therapist just observed and no more was heard from him…[Her nervous breakdown] was a result of long term bullying leading to an episode of being run out of school by a gang of boys. They threatened to kill her with a crowbar, sticks and wooden planks. She felt like a hunted fox” (shazwellyn.hubpages.com). No matter how hard a parent might try to help their child, whether they’re being bullied or are the bully, the consequences should not fall on the people who raise them because the victims have to do what they can to make up for what they’ve done or what they’ve suffered. The city of Monona, Wisconsin has proposed a new law that tickets and fines the parents for failing to respond properly to their child’s poor behavior. A behavioral and personal change consulting specialist, Mr. Michael Harmann, hypothesized that bullying behavior is typically an effort to cover up the bully's own vulnerability. It's a primitive mindset that wants to make you pay when you show vulnerability and since bullying mostly occurs under the legal age, that’s enough to say that higher levels of authority don’t have control over the thoughts and actions that bullies use as an outlet for their own pain because it goes against the Constitution. The key to helping the children we feel so sorry for is to heal the bully before he turns into a monster and the only way to help the perpetrator is to make him face his motivation to bully. “If you think about it, a great strategy to avoid being rejected is to reject everyon...

Cutco Argumentative Essay
1321 Words | 3 Pages
In America, knives, forks, and spoons are necessary tools people have in order to function properly everyday. Without cutlery, people would continue to eat with their dirty, bacteria covered hands, slurping and licking their way through their meals. People would drink bowls of hot soup, maul steak like a feral dog stealing his first bone in weeks, and scoop large chunks of ice cream with frostbitten fingers. Like most individuals in the world, I never put too much thought into how important a spoon was until I needed it. I especially did not care where my family’s flatware came from or how they were created, as long as it was in the cabinet when I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Unfortunately, no one cares about a spoon, a fork, or

Grit Argumentative Essay
1104 Words | 3 Pages
The definition of grit is simple; it means being passionate about long term goals, and showing stamina to pursue them, but should students in public schools have a class dedicated to a grit-focused curriculum? This has become a major topic of discussion among teachers and mentors. Angela Duckworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, claims grit is not a fixed quality but one that can be developed. Many disagree with her statement. Grit is something everyone all have within themselves, but some just do not utilize this characteristic as often or as well as others. Grit is a puzzling concept. Duckworth has had an obsession with grit for over a decade. Her obsession started when she visited West Point,

Argumentative Essays: Cognitive Errors Of The Mind
1382 Words | 3 Pages
Cognitive Errors of the Mind "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" - Aristotle. This well-stated quote represents the logical idea that a human can investigate, gather evidence, understand others’ opinions, and still not accept the thought. People can hold a theory in their minds yet not completely commit to it, knowing it could be proven false. The problem is that there are errors occurring in the subconscious mind. We cannot control these errors because we are not even aware they’re happening.

What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.

People often times single me out for being a christian. They just love asking me about touchy subjects to see my response. And this is because, unfortunately, there are so many christians who have this idea that the whole world needs to see things the same way they do. You see so much hate coming out of a religion that claims to preach peace and love. Christians see it as protecting the bible but it just comes across as ignorant. I am not saying I don’t share in the opinions of many christians, but more than anything I am saying that christians need to learn that not everyone in the world is going to see it the same way they will. When it comes to sin, same sex marriage, and living a holy life there are more than one opinion on what is right. So, you can’t justify all of the hate-acts in the name of your religion. Instead use all that energy you waste on hate to love and help those around you, despite whether you think they are “right or wrong”. I believe that that’s what God is more concerned about.

After questioning some children under the age of 10, 3rd and 4th graders, I always obtain the same type of answer as the following: “It is quite demanding, it always is more difficult than what we did in class, it is not as easy
