Question Do you agree or disagree with the following idea: Students at college and high school should take part in a community project such as green summer, military semester or clean-up week, etc., as a required class. Use specific reasons and examples for your answer. Sample essay In relation to community projects at school, many people hold that students should focus on their academic subjects so as to get good grades. However, in my opinion, students should participate in a community project in that it will benefit students in various ways. Undeniably, community projects will be helpful for society and environment. For these projects, current social or environmental problems are the most noticed. Thus, students are likely to organize so much volunteer work that deals with such problems, contributing to improve humans’ life and activities. For instance, green summer is a community project that brings about a host of benefits for society. In this project, stude

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Technological devices in communication have harmful effects on the young’s Give details and examples to support your answer Sample essay: The convenience that technological devices bring to our life is out of question. They help our communication carried out quickly and easily. However, considering the effects of technology on our “communication skills” which are measured on the communicating culture and the ability to transform ideas, we can’t help wondering if high-tech devices really have positive influences. Speaking of communicating culture, technology is somehow destroying the concrete standards long held in our belief system . Those standards require any conversation’s carriers the necessary politeness and respect for each other. With the help of technology, people can communicate through phones or via the Internet. Those devices with their specific features, though, have profoundly changed t

Minerals and Plants Research has shown that certain minerals are required by plants for normal growth and development. The soil is the source of these minerals, which are absorbed by the plant with the water from the soil. Even nitrogen, which is a gas in its elemental state, is normally absorbed from the soil as nitrate ions. Some soils are notoriously deficient in micro nutrients and are therefore unable to support most plant life. So-called serpentine soils, for example, are deficient in calcium, and only plants able to tolerate low levels of this mineral can survive. In modern agriculture, mineral depletion of soils is a major concern, since harvesting crops interrupts the recycling of nutrients back to the soil. Mineral deficiencies can often be detected by specific symptoms such as chlorosis (loss of chlorophyll resulting in yellow or white leaf tissue), necrosis (isolated dead patches), anthocyanin formation (development of deep red pigmentation of leaves or stem), stunt

Depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer The vast grasslands of the High Plains in the central United States were settled by farmers and ranchers in the 1880s. This region has a semiarid climate, and for 50 years after its settlement, it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching and wheat farming. In the early twentieth century, however, it was discovered that much of the High Plains was underlain by a huge aquifer (a rock layer containing large quantities of groundwater). This aquifer was named the Ogallala aquifer after the Ogallala Sioux Indians, who once inhabited the region. The Ogallala aquifer is a sandstone formation that underlies some 583,000 square kilometers of land extending from northwestern Texas to southern South Dakota. Water from rains and melting snows has been accumulating in the Ogallala for the past 30,000 years. Estimates indicate that the aquifer contains enough water to fill Lake Huron, but unfortunately, under the semiarid climatic con

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to have a job that you enjoy to do rather than a job with high income. Give reasons and details to support your answe r. Sample essay: Many people think finance is the most important element to have a good life. Therefore, a lot of workers are willing to dismiss their family, friends and even current health to get a job with high salary. From my point of view, I disagree with this notion because satisfaction in job, family relationship and life without depending on medical support are more valuable than money if people want to own a healthy and happy life. To begin with, satisfaction in job is more important than the amount of salary people receive. Nowadays, people tend to stay in offices eight hours or more a day. It is considered that workers spend most of time in life to work and work. As the saying goes, “when work is a pleasure, life is a joy; when work is a duty, life is slavery”
