Genetics engineering /Ms. Sue

We should not be tamper nature with genetic engineering

Genetics engineering is laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. Because it modifies living organisms in some ways, we should not use it for several reasons. Firstly, when used in food or crop production, it may be dangerous to human health. Secondly, it puts nature off balance. Thirdly, it’s not clear that who will be take responsibility if it has influence in the negative way.

Genetics engineering is risky. When we eat genetically modified products, it has negative effects on our health. For example, in1989-1990, Chowadengo KK Company of Japan introduced a certain type of food supplement that was produced by genetics engineering. The bacteria in this food supplement caused 37 deaths, disabled 1,500 persons and 5,000 people received the treatment in hospital.

Supporters of genetic engineering often look at it from scientific point of view and not from nature perspectives. Genetics engineering is wrong in nature. Even though it can make living things increase in nature but those living thing are less perfect than living thing of nature. There is no way for synthetic to be better than nature.

Lastly and most importantly, we should not tamper nature with genetics engineering because it’s not clear who will be take responsibility if it has influences in the negative way. For example, at present, we have many kinds of food from genetics engineering. Something is real but something is synthetic. When we eat food supplement from genetics engineering, we don’t know whether it’s real or synthetic. If it has influences in the negative way, we can’t identify who will be take responsibility.

In conclusion, it’s better if we do not tamper nature with genetics engineering because it’s a risk on human lives. It’s also not clear that who will be take responsibility if it has influences in the negative way. Therefore, we should not tamper nature through genetic engineering.

Martial arts Essay / Mr.Paul

Martial Arts

Nowadays it is becoming more common to see examples of violent crime in newspapers and on television. Therefore, it is important that people are able to protect themselves. Martial arts offer a way to do this.The four most popular martial arts are Thai boxing, Tae kwondo, Kung Fu, and Karate. However, martial arts are not only a form of self defense, but also represent the history and culture of a country.

Thai boxing originated in Thailand during the Sukhothai Era between 1781 and 1951. It was spread in the Ayuthaya Era by Nai khanomtom, who was a famous Thai boxer. In 1996 Olympic Games in USA, Somluck Kumsing was the gold medalist. Now, Phanom Yeeram is famous for Thai martial arts film but he was not famous when he was a boxer. In a fight, Muay Thai allows the competitors to use foot, knee, elbow and fist. Before a competition, a boxer must 'wai kru' (pay respect to his coach) and 'ram muay' (dance to show boxing moves). Muay Thai has 5 rounds and each round takes about 3 minutes and there is 2-minute break between rounds. There are at least 3 referees for a Muay Thai competition. The score is usually given after each round. Muay Thai can also be used for self defense.

Tae kwondo is a Korean martial art. It is a way of kicking and striking. It was founded over 2000 years ago but only popularized in the 1950's by General Choi Hong Hi. Song Kook Dee was the first Tae Kwondo expert. Competitions consist of 3 rounds of non-stop contact with a rest between rounds. Junior and senior black belt competitors fight for 2 minute rounds with a 30 second break. kicks to the head score 2 points, while kicks to the body score 1 point. In event of a tie at the end of three rounds, a fourth "sudden death" overtime round will be held to determine the winner after a 30 second rest period. In the year 2000, Tae kwondo became an Olympic sport.

Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art developed from the earliest forms of martial arts introduced by Huangdi, the yellow emperor, around 2700 BC. Kung Fu is a philosophy suggesting deeper meaning. The following three elements must be present: motivation, self-discipline, and time. Strong, flexible muscles, management of the breath, and proper body mechanics are important for basic Kung Fu movements. Basics training involves simple movements that are performed repeatedly, such as stretching, stance work, conditioning, meditation and basic kicking and punching techniques. There are no rules in Kunng Fu because there no competitions, only shows. Professional players is Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li. There is no champion because there don't have competition.

Karate is Japanese martial arts developed from the Kung Fu which was very popular in Japan. Karate is mean "Empty Hand". In 14Th century, Daruma is the first person to start playing karate. He was a monk of Japan but practiced Karate at Saolin temple in China. The first public demonstration of karate in Japan was in 1917 by Gichin Funakoshi, at the Butoku-den in Kyoto. Karate can be divided into many divisions including gender, age, and weight. In Karate competition, there are 5 people needed for a game to take place including a designated referee, an observer, a secretary, a timekeeper, and a medic.The well known sport player of Karate was Christophe Pinna. He helped France to win championship in World Karate Federation tournaments in 1994 and 1996. In the present, Karate is not included in the Olympic yet but later in the future, it will be in the Olympic.

In conclusion, the world has many Martial arts and the most popular are Thai boxing, Tae kwondo, Kung Fu, and Karate. All martial arts are Asian, representing the history and culture of their country of origin. Everybody knows martial arts help people protect themselves. We should use martial arts intelligently, not just to harm another people. We should preserve the traditions of martial arts for the next generation.

Control Society/Ms. Sue

Control Society
ิBy Chaolert

The world has so many problems now that people want a perfect world. This perfect world is known as Utopia. Utopia is perfect because there is no war, fear, pain or choice. This is the world of Jonas. People live in a controlled society. For example, a person’s role in the society is specifically assigned rather than a personal choice.

To begin with, the advantage of a controlled society is discipline. People are not selfish. As in school, students must comply with rules. If they don’t, they are punished.

On the other hand, Utopia also has disadvantages. There is no freedom to choose. For example, in this novel, Jonas does not have the freedom to choose a job he would like. At twelve years old, he is assigned to a training program, chosen by a special committee.

A controlled society has both advantages and disadvantages. Our world is not perfect but we can make it close. To do this, we should allow freedom but should not be careless with it.

Character analysis: Chapter 1-14/Ms. Sue

Character analysis: Chapter 1-14

There are many characters who are introduced in these four chapters. Each character has different personalities but the main character is Jonas.

Jonas was born from a Birthmother. He is eleven years old. He lives with his parent but they are not his true biological parents. These parents were assigned with baby Jonas. Their family consists of four people, including Jonas’ sister, named Lily. His father works at the Nurturing Center. When Jonas reaches the age of 12, he must receive training and will get assignments from the Giver. He has interests about the perfect world. When he has free time, he will work with his father.

I think that Jonas is a special child. He has good vision and is intelligent. He is the kind. For example, he knew that Asher doesn’t have the ability to be sensitive. He tries to practice with Asher about being sensitive.

Jonas isn’t the same as other children. He is a strange child. His eyes and hair is light while the other children have dark hair and eyes. He can also use language very well. He is stronger. When we look at his eyes, we know that he is a special child.

Being a special child who has good vision and intelligence, Jonas is suited to receive assignments from the Giver. I’m sure he isn’t like the general people and he can change the world.

Student should not use mobile phones in the school.

Do you like using your mobile phones? Nowadays, mobile phones are popular with teenagers because they can be used for many entertainment purposes. However, mobile phone can also be misused. For many reasons, I think students shouldn't use mobile phones at school.

First of all, it's better when students use public telephone. In the school there are many public telephone. Student can use them when they want call to someone. It can save student money. Students can learn to share and take care of public facilities. Using public telephone prevents stealling of mobile phones.

Mobile phones also have inappropriate images and movie clips. Since student bring mobile phones to the school, they will download inappropriate images and movie clips and then they will share with friends in the classroom. They may take photographs and movies without permission and post them on the internet to bully their peers. All in all, mobile phones can lead good students to deviant behavior.

Finally, student will use mobile phones in classroom. while the teacher teaching, students must pay attention. But some students will not pay attention. If they have mobile phones, they will want call some one or answer the phone when someone calls them. They may listen to music and share with friends. They will be tempted to play games. If students use mobile phones, they won't understand the subject matter.

Some people say that mobile phones can help students to relax when they have break time. However, there are many ways for students to relax when they have break time.Such as, talking with friends, playing sports, eating food, or doing homework.

In conclusion, students shouldn't be allowed to use mobile phones in school to prevent furthure problems. Even though, mobile phones have many useful function but it have negative effect also. It have not important for students study. The best way is students should use public telephone.

Thank you teacher
