Question Do you want a loving marriage or an arrangement marriage? Give reasons and details to support your an swer. Sample essay 1: When it comes to marriage; the most important choice in a life, there is still a controversial whether we should follow an arranged marriage or a love marriage. Some people think that arranged marriage is safe and more reliable than love. Parents always want the best for us and they have more experiences than us. As the result, they will choose the best suitable husband or wife for us. However, from my perspective, I definitely prefer love marriage for some reasons as follows. As a matter of fact, no one knows me better than me. How can anyone but myself know what I really love? How can anyone but myself understand what will make me feel touching, peace, trust, unquestionable care and a shared sense of values? Nobody can choose the one who will become the partner of my whole life except me. Moreover, if I place someone else’s advi...

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”...

Timberline Vegetation on Mountains The transition from forest to treeless tundra on a mountain slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just a few tens of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by low shrubs, herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the upper timberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lower timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge, usually because of a lack of moisture. The upper timberline, like the snow line, is highest in the tropics and lowest in the Polar Regions. It ranges from sea level in the Polar Regions to 4,500 meters in the dry subtropics and 3,500-4,500 meters in the moist tropics. Timberline trees are normally evergreens, suggesting that these have some advantage over deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves) in the extreme environments of the upper timberline. There are some areas, however, where broad leaf deciduous trees form ...

The Origins of Theater In seeking to describe the origins of theater, one must rely primarily on speculation, since there is little concrete evidence on which to draw. The most widely accepted theory, championed by anthropologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, envisions theater as emerging out of myth and ritual. The process perceived by these anthropologists may be summarized briefly. During the early stages of its development, a society becomes aware of forces that appear to influence or control its food supplyand well-being. Having little understanding of natural causes, it attributes both desirable and undesirable occurrences to supernatural or magical forces, and it searches for means to win the favor of these forces. Perceiving an apparent connection between certain actions performed by the group and the result it desires, the group repeats, refines and formalizes those actions into fixed ceremonies, or rituals. Stories (myths) may then grow up...
