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.
