Should not Bring Mobile Phone to School


Recently most people own mobile phone. Why does
Thesis
mobile phone user increase dramatically in recent years?

First, the feature and functions has increased. Mobile phone


is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking pictures,
recording videos, accessing internet, playing games and much more.
Second, mobile phone has also become a lot cheaper. Now this Argument
communication device does not only fill the pocket of adult but also
teenager and student. Even a lot phones are intentionally designed to
teenaged market.

However should they be allowed to bring them to school?


Many schools do not allow students to bring cell phones to school. It
is very reasonable because bringing phone to school potentially
disrupts the learning process. Most students use cell phones
irresponsibly. They use cell phones to talk to their friend during class
time. They also use the calculator and camera features in the class as
well. Those potentially lead less concentration in the time of learning
and teaching process.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair way. Mobile phones Recommendation
provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can communicate
to anyone and almost anywhere in the world. Because of the small
size of the cell phone, students can send a text quietly and discreetly.
The text can go unnoticed anywhere to get help on answering tests,
homework, and other class assignment. Learning in school is to
behave fair not cheating.
Therefore, schools should ban students from bringing their cell
phones. However it should be done fairly. In case of an emergency
some student need a call for help, providing easy access to phone is
better.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a


metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of Issue
nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria,
England in 1956.

Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power


plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's
energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It cause no
pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages
of nuclear plant are as follow:
a. It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.
b. It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not
contribute to the greenhouse effect.
c. It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of
uranium. Argument
d. It produces small amount of waste.
e. It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be
sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die
away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be
spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be
a major accident.
People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the 1990's
nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts

Types of Volcanic Eruptions

Volcanic eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in


the world. They can wipe out entire cities and kill thousands of
people.The name of volcano comes from Roman term. It derives General
from VULCAN which is the name of Roman fire god. Romans Classification
believed that Vulcan lived on a volcanic Italian coast. Romans called
the island VULCANO.

According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are divided in to


four basic groups. They are commonly known as Hawaiian,
Strombolian, Vulcanian and Peleean. The term of Hawaiian
eruptions are named after the volcanoes in Hawaii. These volcanic
eruptions are the least violent type. They produce highly fluid lava
which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a shield volcano.

Strombolian eruptions are named after Stromboli. These


result from the constant release of gas from the magma. As the gas
escapes, it produces tephra that piles up, turning into a cinder cone.
Strombolian eruptions happen when sticky magma plugs the central
vent. This makes the magmatic gas build up pressure until it blasts. Description
The magma is turned into volcanic dust and bombs.

Vulcanian eruption which comes from the ancient Roman


belief, are more violent than the strombolian eruption. Vulcanian
eruption happens and brings magma which is more viscous.
Vulcanian explosions are usually larger and noisier than the
Strombolian eruptions.

Paleean eruptions are famous as the most violent kind of


volcanic eruptions. The name of paleean comes from the eruption of
Mount Pelee, Martinique in 1902. It killed almost 38 thousands
people. A Peleean eruption occurs when the magmatic gas build up
tremendous pressure. This causes violent explosions with glowing
clouds of hot ash and dust.

Giving Children Homework; Pro and Con
There are a lot of discussion as to whether children should be
given homework or not. Is it enough for children having time to Issue
study at school or needing additional time in home for study after
school time?

Some people claim that children do enough work in school


already. They also argue that children have their hobbies which they
want to do after school, such as sport or music. A further point they
make is that a lot of homeworks are pointless and does not help the
children learn at all.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point


of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out
whether children can work on their own without the support from the Argument
teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit
down and think about what they have learned in school.

Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get
anything done. It makes sense to send home tasks like independent
reading or further writing task which do not need the teacher
support.

I think, on balance, that some homework is good idea but that


should only given at the weekend when children have more time.

locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also
hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes
cannibalistic. Description

by its gums. When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture
