Topic 5 - If you are lost in Sahara and could make a wish, what would you wish?

Being lost in Sahara seems to be incredible. However, what would I wish if I was in the case? Waiting for help means waiting for the death. Hence, in this piece of writing I’ll make some wishes to take myself out of the fatal trouble.

First and foremost, what put on my priority is food and drinkable water. Needless to say, I am not able to live more than one week without these supplies. The heat of the sunlight in the day time and the cold in the night will make me exhausted so I need some nutrition to save me first. Moreover, I need enough food and water so that I can make some travelling to find the path out. It is uncertain how long it may keep me in. With the food guarantee, I will be confident to conquer the new land, to find new food and water sources, and to find the alive zone.

In the second place, having something to decide the direction to go forwards hold no less importance. It cannot be denied that I will go to nowhere if I do not know where I am going to. It is good to be facilitated with a map, a compass, and ideally an electric Global Positioning System equipment. With these stuffs, I can easily calculate and estimate the length and time for the shortest and best route. More importantly, the map will guide me to avoid mountain. I believe that many people who lost in the desert was because they were trying to climb the mountains, so-called sand hills, just to have a comfortable view to locate their position and to find direction. These efforts took their energy and time and lessen their chance to go for the shorter routes. Therefore, if I could have those equipments, it is no doubt that I would know what best to do next.

Last but not least, finding a local is the essential part of my journey. It is clearly seen that a the local is the ultimate person who can help me out. This local will take me to his village and contact to the in-charge authority. The rest of the story is assured then. More notably, the person I met may not be able to speak my language, at least English. It is a real problem if the two different people cannot understand each other. Some body language might help. However, I think that understand my case while I was alone in the gigantic Sahara, and so to do me a favor.

In summary, having food and water supply, being facilitated with positioning equipments, seeing a local are vital factors that I wish to save my life. I really wish that other unfortunate tourists who are in my same case could meet the fortune and finally be saved.

Topic 5

If you are lost in Sahara and could make a wish. What is your wish?

Losing in Sahara would really be a terrible thing which I have never been before, if I got it. Sahara is known as one of the hugest waterless desert in the World. For existence in such a large dry land, a necessary thing could not be without is water. So, if giving me a wish, I would wish for appearing a large lake to exist and a balloon full of gas to quit there out.

First of all, I need the lake to supply water for life. This is not only to me, also to every victims who are in the same case with me and the local citizen around there. For example, with a wide lake, it is really a helpful resource of water for the walkers who spend hours under heat of the sun and hot sand of desert. Furthermore, through the lake, services would be increased such as restaurant, hotel, market, etc to provide products, goods for social demands of citizen and tourisms. Additionally, the lake would contribute in improving the severe climate here. The lake also means the appearance of plants, trees, they create a green and cool environment surround the lake and ideal where the walker stop journeys for minutes.

Secondly, I wish a balloon full of gas to pass across the desert to back home. Balloon is really interesting kind of transportation I have never got before and I thinks it is a suitable way for this case because in such the case, there are not means of transportation more appropriate than balloon. For example, you have a plane, but Sahara desert has not any runway for taking off, you have strong automobile, but you sure that you could hold on steering wheel steadily under the horrible heat of sunshine in such the desert as Sahara? They are not really good ideas for the long journey. The advantage of using balloon can be identified clearly. Balloon can be took off from just one side on the land, no more than a runway with a plane. Balloon does not touch surface of land, so the heat of desert sand can not hurt you, and more, balloon can take advantage of wind to move itself more quickly, saving a quite fuel.

Finally, to survive on Sahara desert I would just vote for a lake and a balloon. The lake for bringing resource of water back to the life and the balloon for saving me myself.

What would you wish if you are lost in Sahara desert has caused a question for discussion. Most of people wish that they could get out of this desert immediately but if we did not have a chance to come back your place for a short time. What would you wish? Many ideas have been presented. My writing will deeply analyze major ideas.

First and foremost, what I put on my priority is a shortage of water. According to a research, 75 percent of our body is water. Therefore, if we just lack water for a day, your body will be in a critical state. You are capable of living without food for a week but you will die if you do not have enough water in two days. Lacking water makes the organs of your body inproperly operated. It is the cause of your death. In the desert, it is hard to find a water source to keep you alive. Even that Sahara is the driest desert on earth. So, if I have enough water to support my life, I will keep living longer to wait for the rescue force. Hence, it is wise to wish that we could have enough water in this case.

In the second place, when I have enough water to keep the body alive, then I need a safe place to stay and to avoid the dangerous animals such as scorpions, tigers, bears and so on. Besides, the weather on desert is extremely severe. It is sunny all day long. None of the big trees are able to survive except for cactuses. Hot sand is every where around you. Residing in a place like a hut or trench will be the best choice to maintain your temperature. This is the second wish but it is also one of the most important things that you should wish when you are in this case.

Last but not least, if I am on this situation, I will hope that a group of people may go through this desert so that I can be saved because I cannot have enough food and water to live for a long while in Sahara. If I met a trip, I could go home with their help. Moreover, a trip has many people, I am certain to be safer and less lonely.

By wishing all the above things, I strongly believe that my life will be saved when I am in that situation. Whether you want it or not the sudden accidents may happen to you. So, I strongly suggest that the unlucky people who are lost in Saharan should consider my analysis to have the suitable solutions to this case. It is the wishe as well as your instincts to save yourself.

Topic: A person's childhood years are the most important years of a person's life. Do you agree?

Children’s development has attracted much social concern. Many people believe that the early years of a person’s life are much more important than that in the later ones in building up his development. Personally, I strongly support that belief.

First and foremost, what I put in my priority is the importance of education that one receives in the beginning years of his life. Obviously, the very first lessons that one receives is the foundation for his further study and success throughout his life. For example, a child who does not enroll in a kid garden but receives poor education at home, often finds difficult and less confident in doing study at primary school. This may lead to bad performance at school and affect his development greatly. More notably, education brings about the initial exposure to the world. It is not only the knowledge and experience but also communications and team work skills, are very important lessons in this times. The absorbed intellect and skills will surely essential to the rest of one’s life. Indeed, children education should be a top priority.

In the second place, personal characteristics formation holds no less important role in this period. It is common knowledge that the characteristics from the early stage seem to remain for long. That is because of the first impression and inborn factors to form these characteristics. Therefore, it is very difficult to change them if we find those characteristics are bad ones. More remarkably, children usually imitate other expressions and behavior. They are fast learner and can copy exactly other styles. Thus, parents should pay attention on this issue in daily communications. Without doubt, the good and effective characteristics are essential in making one’s development and success.

Last but not least, parents’ love to children draws much of my consideration. The fact is that, little children need to receive their parents and surrounding people’s love and care. This love gives them the confidence of being protected so that he will not fear other dangers. Many unfortunate children of divorced couples are wild and easily vulnerable to social evils. By and large, the children deserve to have appropriate physical care and support.

To sum up, education, characteristics formation and parents’ love to the children are the major reasons that make a person’s childhood years the most critical years of his life. I strongly recommend that people should take my discussion into consideration while growing and educating their lovely children.

A person's childhood years are the most important years of a person's life. Do you agree?

Whether a person’s childhood years are the most important years of a person’s life has greatly attracted much social concern. Some people think the teenage years are the most important, others think the early twelve years are the most important years of a person’s life. In my point of view, I agree with the latter by some reasons. Let me clarify it by following essay.

First of all, what I put on my priority is building personality. It is apparent that the early twelve years of a person’s life is time to the person can build personality. Children are easily affected in this period by the environment that they live with. Behavior, characteristic of children will affect to how they act in the future. For example, if the children are brought up in happy family and the parent love them very much; they will be good people. In the contrary, if the children are raised up in the mess atmosphere at home and lack of care of their parent, they will be become selfish and irresponsible people. Indeed, this period is very important to shape personality of children especially atmosphere in the family.

In the second place, building social skill hold no less important role in a person’s childhood years. It is clearly seen that before become teenager, children develop social skill through education and relationships. Children, at this period, go to school to learn basic social skills that they need in whole their life. And at that environment, they can meet and make friend with other peers and they need how to keep and develop the relationships. If they can learn this at early of twelve years of their life, they will learn a lot of necessary skills that they will need throughout rest of academic and working life.

In conclusion, a childhood years are most important years of person’s life, it is not only to build personality, but also to build children’s social skills. Children at this age should be cared, taught reasonably along with made happy atmosphere in the family.

Topic 3_ Thuy Nga

Mankind has paid great attention to time in childhood. Many people are bound to say that a person's childhood years are boring and useless time of a person's life. From my point of view, I totally disagree with this statement.

First and foremost, what I put on my priority is personal characteristic. Certain person has certain characteristic. According to a research, adult's temper tends to resemble with your temper when you were a child. It proves that when you was born, your mind is as a white paper. But since you grow up your personality was get to build up as time goes by. Therefore, the first time in the life is the most important time. At that age, you do not know which things are wrong, which things are right. So, it is easy for parents to teach their children all the best. Step by step, little by little, your mind will be full of good things. This is a strong foundation to become a good citizen in the future. Without doubt, the time in infancy is the time to decide the characteristic of a person, for that reason, it is extremely useful time.

In the second place, the childhood store a great deal of the memory for the age with the naivety, with the happiness, this will be in your mind in all long life. Unfortunately, if you had bad infancy time such as your father drunks all day long, your mother was a talkative person and used drugs, I absolutely believe that you will be affected and act like your parents when you have the child. All memory in childhood time will follow you all life long, you always remember and be affected by it, so, infancy time is very chief time on a person's life.

Last but not least, babyhood time bring us many happy things that when you mature, you will not be received. Childhood means that you are the children, you do not need to work, think about money, the most important for you is playing and eating as much as possible. You are received all sentiment of the members in your family. When you are adult, you have to go to work, time is more important than gold. You must get up early, must go to the office on time and must suffer many pressures of the work. So, why is childhood years not the most important while it is the most beautiful time in all your life.

In short, for all mentioned above, it is easy to see that babyhood time is the most important time in a person's life. I strongly suggest that people who have family should consider my analysis to make the children's childhood is better because it is the most rememberable and useful time in a person's life.

1. Famous athletes & entertainers earn billion $ a year. Do you think they deserve such high income?

Income of famous athlete and entertainers has always a hotly- debated topic. Does it is too much and not necessary to be paid so much money for them or does it is not enough for their distribution? Many people believe that the athletes and entertainers deserve to receive the high income. Personally, I strongly agree with that belief.

First and foremost, what I put on my priority is health problem. It is difficult to list all of the health matters that athletes and entertainers have to suffer in the practicing process everyday because it is too much. For example, with actors, they must act many times if the director feel it is not right for the scene. Even, they must wear the thin clothes in the winter if the scene demands. So, it is very harmful for their health. Health is one of the most important things on mankind's life. It is said that "health is better than wealth". Athletes and entertainers sacrifice it to distribute and to make amusement for the people. Doesn’t they deserve high income?

In the second place, practicing time is a lot. To succeed in opposing with the other rivals, they spend many hours to practice. Since spending a large amount of time to practice, they don’t have enough time to look after family and themselves. Many familys is broken because of this reason. More seriously, their personal life is interrupted by press and the crazy fans. Many of the actors put up with the stress, for example, Britney Spear, she shaved her head because she was exhausted with troubling of them. Time sacrifice is the huge sacrifice. Once again, I totally agree that high income is deserve with their distribution.

Lastly, pressure in competing is very big, when they take part a match, they represent for all of citizens in their country, they represent for the reputation of their country, if they don't do well, they will feel guilty to the country, to the hope of people. Therefore, their pressure is very gigantic.

Not at all athletes are successful, but they have to sacrifice all of the above things. It cannot be denied that the income is very attractive, but the investment is so hazardous, therefore, if they are famous and successful, the high income is deserve.

Topic 3

Famous athletes & entertainers earn billion $ a year. Do you think they deserve such high income?

There has appeared endless discussion over the statement that famous athletes and entertainers earn billion dollars a year. Some people think that they don’t deserve for high income. In my point of view, I strongly support for this statement.

First of all, what I put on my priority is job requirement. It is apparent that it is hard to become a famous athletes and entertainers without practicing and working hard. To accomplish this, they must exert themselves to obtain achievement. For instance, a football player wants to become excellent one, he not only has to experience long tight practicing process, but also he has to have determination and try his best to achieve success in his player life. More importantly, beside hard working, long practicing process and try with all power, famous athletes and entertainers need obtain talent in their field, which no one have also. If a boy has aptitude in dancing, he can easy to achieve success in dancing with his try and passion. Indeed, every job has individual requirement and people have to satisfy and be suitable with it.

In the second place, country contribution hold no less important role in famous athletes and entertainers’ high income. It is clearly seen that if the country have a lot of athletes and entertainers who are excellent in their field and have good reputation and be known by people in the world, which make a good image about the country. In some countries, an entertainer could be a country’s image, therefore, he have enormous affect to people in the country. Without doubt, famous athletes and entertainers deserve with high income because all the things they contribute to the country.

Last but not least, personal sacrifice draws much of my consideration. It can be denied that the famousness always demands sacrifice especially in athlete and entertain. They always try to practice and work with all their power. In these cases, they are easy get trouble. For example, a football player always has pressure how to play well and sometimes in the match he can be got trauma. More remarkably, famous athletes and entertainers usually take part in public fairs. Therefore, they must try to behavior well to people and don’t have time for family, friends and themselves.

In conclusion, hard working, contributing to country and personal sacrifice are reasons of famous athletes and entertainers having high income. I strongly believe that all the things they get are deserving.

Re Essay: 1. Famous athletes & entertainers earn billion $ a year. Do you think they deserve such high income?

The high income of famous athletes and entertainers has greatly attracted much social concern. Many people argue that those athletes and entertainers should not deserve such lucrative benefits. Personally, I strongly oppose that argument.

First and foremost, what I put in my priority is the job requirements. It cannot be denied that, without a long and rigorous practicing process, no one can be a famous athlete or entertainer. Certain achievements need certain passion, energy, determination and, one very essential factor, hard work. That’s why just some football players among millions can be named. More notably, in order to be successful in sports and arts, one should receive well training from specialized professional environment. Being famous in the mentioned fields means one has to show a highly professional performance in a certain period of time. The official training programs and the practice of on-the-job training cost them not only a great amount of money but also time and efforts. Indeed, those demanding professions should have worthy benefits to maintain the high quality performance.

In the second place, country contribution holds no less important role in the athletes and entertainers’ success. The fact is that, for every big event like the Olympics, the participated countries must finance the crew in course of preparation and competition. The athletes should be considered as, of course, critical elements and they worth necessary investments. Moreover, their victory and glory create widespread inspirational feelings and motivations. These results will lead to the inspiration and success of the community and inspire everyone for the good. Without doubt, the honors these athletes bring about are of great value and they should be appropriately awarded.

Last but not least, their personal sacrifice draws much of my consideration. Needless to say, everyone needs work-life-balance. However, being top players does not give them favorable choices between spending hard time on training or being with friends and family. It is their commitment to the community, the country and their own success, require them to devote themselves to the career. More remarkably, it is a common practice that the top players are continuously viewed by the media and public. The thing is, what makes them famous also can cause them no less discomfort, embarrassment and sometimes, trouble. The same practice applied to their relative too. By and large, an over-the-average income may not be overpaid to compensate this ordeal.

In summary, occupation requisites, social impacts, and the personal losses are the major reasons make athletes and entertainers seemingly profitable people. I really recommend that people should consider my discussion into consideration while giving out any argument against their earnings.
