ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY OUTLINE

TOPIC: SHOULD CHILDREN BE PHYSICALLY PUNISHED?

Hook: in the past people do irreparable damage to their children.
Bg: Physical punishment is the infliction of punishment on the body. Children were punish extremely. People own their children and do whatever they want.
Thesis: I personal think that children should not be given physical punishments for some following reasons:

BODY
P1:
Topic sentence: physical punishment may suffer children’s mental
Supporting ideas:
1. children are always in fear mood. They are frightened and also lost their feeling of safeness
2. they are haunted by the scenes of being beaten.
3. lead to bad relationship between parents and their children. there will be a distance that prevents both sides from getting along.
4. children may become criminal when they grow up.They take out their anger and hurt on others. They have a tendency to treat others like who used to suffer them.

P2:
Topic sentence: Physical punishment is harmful to child’s health
Supporting ideas:
1.reproduction health will be influenced
2.Because of their youth, their bones are delicate, so the development will be slow down.
Ex:there are many kids in the world were on paper, or on air whose degree of disablement are at high level can not give birth

P3:
COUNTER ARGUMENT: not punishing children make them become disobedient.
Supporting ideas:
1. they become stubborn, they would do anything without permission
2. they would not respect the elders.
3. them would become irresponsible.
Ex:Those kids who are being pampered by their parents have no definition with the word " punishments". They believe that everything they did are not wrong so they comfortably continue their behaviuors even hurt people feelings. they become naughty. Depending too much on parents form them irresponsible behaviours.

REFUTATION: Punishing children really help them become obedient kids?
Supporting ideas: Punishments are a fast way to make them obey but not a best way to teach them.In US children are protected by children right law system, people are not permit to punish kids even their parents. Parents will absolutely face the law if they hurt their children. Instead of using physical punishments such as: hitting beating, spanking, swatting, caning; parents should use another way such as: forbid them watching their favorite programs, or ban them visiting their friends, .etc

Conclusion:

Parents who love their children will not want to hurt theirs. So do not try to treat children by physical punishment because predecessor did that. “Children like a white sheet of paper. The important thing is that how we write on it”. Because children are among the most vulnerable members of society and it is society’s duty to protect them and their rights.

Online education

Should we take online educations ?. It's a new way of thinking about highet education. Lectures, assignments, discusstions, exams, presentations, even the reading are available online, and no face to face interaction with the instructor. With a computer accessing the Internet, we can almost have classes every where, every time. We don't have to wake up so early in the morning, don't have to worry about missing the bus, etc. Consequently, many people like it because of some following advantages.

One of the best advantages of online education is convenience. Online courses are a form of distance learning. The courses are available where we are. We don't have to go everywhere or go to schools to study, because it comes to us. We can set suitable time, so we can work the class around our schedule. It's is great for working people who still want to learn. It makes us comfortable. we can sit and go everywhere, even at home to study, instead of being at school. We can enjoy ourselves while studying such as : eat whenever we are hungry, drink whenever we are thirsty, and relax whenever we are tired, etc. Yes, we can access an online course at the time and place that is most convenient to us. we can move around, can be transferred anywhere or travel extensively and still access online courses.

Another advantage of online education is that we can save money. While we are studying traditional courses, we have to go to school and go back home day by day. That things cost us a lot of fees of transportation, fuel, bus tickets. Or when we are on the way to school, we might have accidents or some troubles with our bike, it once again cost money to repair or fix it. Furthermore, we also spend a lot of money on our foods and meals while studing at school. If we are at home studying, we can save money because we can avoid bad lucks come from accidents which require a lot of money for treatments, avoid repair fees, we can have meals which are cheaper cooked by our moms. The fees of the courses are also lower. It is the best choice for those come from rural areas and disavantage families.

If online education were the best choice for every person every time, we wouldn't need school, would we?. On the other hand, there are also many people don't agree that thinking because online education doesn't make students self motivated, responsible for their learning, and interaction specific skills. It is true because students do not have the environment in which they can face to face argue the issuse provided, the environment of working in a group that makes them more responsible, or a chance to improve social skills. However, today technologies help us have a new view of online education because they have made a software which supports online education called "groupware" and they are on the way perfecting it. With this stuff, we will be transfer to a virtual environment. It is easy for both the student and instructors to master because it provides us options which we can use to study effectively. Moreover, it has an ideal voice system which is especially made for discussions, does lead to many successes. We can talk, discuss, argue comfortably without fears, shyness that many people have to encounter in tradition education. Now, it is over. "Groupware" also supply us high-tech mini WC from which we can contact, see our friends and post or transfer datas, files related to our learning. We will feel it familiar because online education contains what traditional one provided.

In my opinion, this stuff does really a hit. We now can have online education as good as traditonal one. This breakthrough brings a lot of benefits for many students and other people who still want to study. Maybe in the future, there will be another inventions that help us study more effectively instead of studying in school as we used to do.

Advantages of big family

Family, a word that is so familiar with us. Family is the collective body of persons who live in one house, and are responsible to each other. Everybody has their own family, a big one or a small one. But whatever the situation, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of having whether a big or small family. This matter can be looked at from several point of view. Many people prefer big family with some following reasons.

One advantage of being in a large family is that one is never lonely. With brothers and sisters around, we will feel joyful and happy. We can get advices from members whenever we have troubles. We can have parents, brothers and sisters stand up for us whenever we encounter problems. In a big family, there is always someone who tells us something nice and does some surprises especially on events or festivals. Imagine, on our birthdays, the more members share the joys with us the more happiness we will get. Yes, we never feel solitary in so large group because they always make us smile. Especially for girls, this would be a favor, because they can hope for a lot of protections from the male members.

Another advantage is that family teach us the meaning of responsibily. Person who lives in a large family are more responsible and sociable than somebody who is always an only child. Living in such family, we know who we are, realize our positions and know what are right to do. Giving a hand in any work is what family members do. For example, in time of festivals, celebrations, there will be more hands to do all the work and more enjoyable when all the member gathering together. It is “ call of duty”. As a members of a family, we should always help each other, help our parents after a long day work such as : doing housework, making meals, etc. Related to this, we understand the real meaning of responsibility, that is, if we don’t do our duty, someone else will suffer.

On the other hand, Some peope say large family also come up with a lot of arguments. It is true. With a small family, and we are the only child, so there is no one argue with us. Or with one brother or sister, we are supposed to argue less. Children in large family become competitive because they all want to be the best. However, arguments are simple things in life. Absolutely, nothing is perfect and arguments happen are easy to understand. Because there are not always the same idea for a situation, a different one may break the peace. So they are common things in life that we have to encounter. It is not strange, it is natural. In my opinion, family should be numerous. I have one brother and a twin sister, and we really get on very well. I am happy to have them. I have few friend around, so whenever I come home they are the ones who smile and cherish me, they are favors that the god gave me.

Big family or small one always has a side of its own. Future is very far from now, who knows! I do not know who will I be, which job I want to do, who I will get married with. But if I do get married I know that I would like to have a big family and a lot of children.

Quin Shi Huang

I am very interested in chinese histories. Each Dynasty gave me a lot of things to learn , but the Qin Dynasty has placed an unforgettable impression in me. That is Quin Shi Huang, who is considered the emperor’s first in chinese history because he had work to destroy the vassal time of War National and unified the empire of China. Quin Shi Huang was known to have been a tyrant because of his strict policy of domination, ambitions and brutality.

Being under the strict policy of domination, public life under Quin Shi Huang suffered many hardships. He passed touch rule that applied to everybody and used laws to decide. In general, he was the god and his laws are justice which represented his wills. People did not have the right for themselves. Tyranny, heavy hard labor, taxes and rude punishments brought people great disaster and suffering.

His ambitons are incredible.To complete the unification of China Huang, was thinking of expanding the foreign realm and that led to many wars. Asoblutely, wars were cruel, they brought dark scenes, deaths, ruins to people. He once attacked Viet Nam named Au Lac at that time and brought failure back to China. He also wanted to be immortal so he could complete his aspirations through out the world. That ridiculous thought once again caused deaths of people.

Quin Shi Huang, a tyrant that is very brutal. For nearly 40 years of sitting on the throne, he has been known for many actions as crime, such as :building the Great Wall, burning books and burying students and build a tomb for himself. The Great Wall nowadays is one of the greatest wonders of the world, but it did cause a lot of peope dead to build it. The mystery of the construction of the wall is amazing and it all was built by the great army of manpower, soldiers, prisoners, slaves and local people. People were forced to build to death, the chance to come back home was none and the Great Wall became the graveyard for many people. Students at that time were angry and criticized his brutalities. As the result, 460 student were killed and books also were burnt. Not only that, the tomb made many sorrows. It not only cost a lot of manpower and resources but also took away 70,000 people who were buried alive to keep the tomb secret and a large group of female who served him when he was alive. What a cruel emperor he was!

In conclusion, Quin Shi Huang was a talent man because he unified China, had effort in standardizing currency, language, writing, units of length, size, weight which promote economic development. Besides, he is considered tyrant who is cruel, violent, and extreme. I also have bad feeling about this man but I have to accept a truth that he is one of a successful emperor of all time.

My happiness

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Finding happiness is like finding ourselves,we don’t find happiness,we make happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who we are, who we want to be by doing what brings us the most meaning and contentment to our lives after a long run. Everybody has their own paths, and I did find my own one. For me, happiness is that I can have a happy family, have my dreams come true and have a true love.


My family has played a big role in my life. The members in the family are a part of mine, they give me happiness, give me strength, give me a home. They all love me, encourage me whenever I have troubles. I find happiness from their actions, from what they have done for me. Compare to some people that don’t have a real home or because of some reasons, I have better conditions. So, I gratefully respect for what they have given me. Yes, having dinner with all the members is awesome, everybody gathers around,eats and talks what they did or saw something after a working day. Thinking about some don’t have a completed happiness, I’m glad that I have a true one, and I will not let anything disturb it. I will protect my family, protect my happiness.

Happiness is when we achieve our dreams. That are the desire which have been formed since we were a child. Those aspirations are targets that exist in most of people, and urge us to complete them. Sure, I have beliefs in my dreams and happy to have them. One day, if my dreams come true I will not know how happy I will be, but I’m sure if it happens I will laugh joyfully and scream out the sentence which I have had to say for a long time :” I did it ! Finally, I dit it! Ha ha ha”. It is not just that, because it is not only the happiness of mine but also the one of my parents. Actually, it is a double happiness of both sides. Nothing lasts forever and so do the human. Everyone has a term, and if we can’t full fill our dreams, our aspirations we will live in reget and sorrow in the rest of our lives. Dreams are considered as missions, achieving them means :” Missions accomplished”.

A true love is a true happiness. Dictionaries have different meanings for this word. But when I think about this word, my mind conjures up images of all kinds of beautiful things that I have always associated with this word. “I remember growing up with stars in my eyes and love songs ringing through my ears. Slowly my dreams grew bigger and I started waiting for my Prince Charming to come along and take me with him to a beautiful land” said the girl in cartoon I have ever seen. But, I am different, I am waiting for my Princess Charming. To love means to be true, to love unconditionally means to give with all our heart to one, and only one. Love is when we realize that he/she is the best thing that has happened to us and we want to cherish that person and the moments spent with him/her till death. I don’t know what my future will be, but I will not stop finding the other half, my journey in pursuit of this can be called the search of Love. I admire my parents, athough they sometimes have arguments, but I know how much they love each other. As I said, I am waiting for my Princess, and when that day comes, I want we two build a happy family like our parents did “ A cottage with two golden hearts”. Being under our halves’ cares, and they also receive from us the same things, sharing sorrow and happiness together are special and miracle points of love. It is like a fairy tales, but I do hope it is true. I have read a lot of books, and watched a lot of films about love. Whenever I finish a book or a film, my mind comes up with a lot of thoughts and at last I did have the answer of my own “ Love is when we will do anything to see them happy,even thing that may go against what we believe. It is called sacrifice”. “Although when we are apart, our love will unite us” said Yuna. It sounds funny, but when we fall in love that is not funny at all. It is wonderful to have a true love

Happiness, it is easy to gain but also easy to be taken away. When it comes, all we have to do is keep and protect it, cause, the next time happiness doesn’t come easily. For me, I will do my best to hold my happiness, make a good family like my parents did, keep chasing my dream and keep finding the true other half of mine.

How to build a computer

The needs of computer are increasing rapidly. Having a computer like having a friends, so we have to consider how the friend is. Making friends with good people, we are good people, and so does the computer. If we have a good computer, a good real friend it will help us solve a lot of tasks, works that we get from school. So, why don’t we make a good computer of our own instead of bying one in computer store. That thing worths a try. It is funny and help us save a loat of money. By doing this we will know more about our friends.Following these steps below will make you find it easy.
First, we need to prepare the components and tools. To build a basic PC, we will need at least a motherboard, a memory module, a processor with cooling fan, a power supply, a hard drive, a floppy drive, a video card and a CD-ROM. It is easy to find these components in most of the computer stores. If we want our computer to run well, good qualities of the components are needed. Most sensitive hardware comes in a static bag which is designed to protect the electronics from static electricity shock. Leave your hardware in these bags until you are ready to install them. When everything is in order, we begin to build our own computers.
The process of assembling parts of a computer requires two easy steps. he first step is installing some components in the hardware. First, we have to remove the case cover and have a case preparation. Second , install the power supply. Take the power supply unit and line it up for placement into the PC case. The fan should blow toward the rear and the wires should face forward. Insert the PSU into the case, and make sure the holes on the rear of the PSU line up with the screw holes on the case. If they do not, you may need to turn the power supply over. Using screws to secure it. Third, installing the CPU is a pretty straight-forward process. The real risk is to the CPU. Doing this step too fast or carelessly can result in damage to the processor. Therefore, don’t get nervous. It is an easy step, but do it with care :” Check the pins, open ZIF socket, orient the chip and insert processor.” When done, there should be basically no gap between the bottom of the processor and the socket. The next step is install the heat fan. Today’s processors are running quite hot and it used to be that you could attach a heat sink and fan to your processor directly and not worry about it. Next, configure the motherboard, install the motherboard, an then connect it to the case. When we all finish the first step, move on the second. This tep is installing some components inside the case. All we need here are : configure the hard drive and CD rom, install drive and Cd rom and then install the viedo card. When everything is ok, test the system and then install the operating system. Okay, it is time to install our operating system. This is the final step necessary to make your new PC a fully workable PC.
The computer is now waiting for us, click the button on the case to activate it.This is the final step to have a workable PC. All we do is complete the setting and load the operating system. Making a PC of our own is funny, also we can save a lot of money. It is worth trying.
