it is an unavoidable fact that people have to have stresses during they are studying, working or living. another true is if there is a problem existing, there will be one or more alternatives to solve it. people are doing different things to reduce stress such as read books, do exercises, or do garden works. in my opinion, the most effective way to escape stresses is doing exercises, the reason for my choice is that exercises can help people to improve healthy, refresh your mind, and kill time effectively.

Problem Solving Outline: Global Warming

Do you think people seriously concern about global warming? Many people think that global warming is not too dangerous for now but it has become a big problem. Global warming causes many natural disasters such as hurricanes, the rise in sea level, and floods. Every year, more than 160,000 people died world wide caused by the side effects of climate changes, which is the global warming problem. Therefore, I have decided to survey a variety of people opinion to gather opinions to improve the conditions caused by global warming. Also

Problem1: Most of people do not recognize how dangerous the global warming is.

Solutions1: We can post information about how dangerous the global warming is on the internet.

Objection: many people already know about the global warming, and there are already some advertisements about global warming but still some people do not care about it. How can we spread global warming information effectively?

Solutions2: we can advertise about the global warming dangerous effects to large associations and large communities, such as church, universities, and schools

Objection: who will pay for advertising?

Solutions3: we can write a letter many times about how dangerous the global warming to U.N. (Ban Ki-moon, secretary counselor in U.N.)

Objection: Is he really going to read a letter that you sent?

Problem2: Global warming become a serious problem

Solutions1: reduce the use of electricity

Objection: how? What specifically can people do? How will you get people to reduce use of electricity?

Solutions2: According to green house effect, the percentage of CO2 increase, people can reduce use of burning of vegetable matter or not use the product of the combustion of fossil fuels.

Objection: no objections

Solutions3: reduce of Freon gas to protect the ozone layer

Objection: green energies are sometimes expensive and hard to produce.

the references don’t have any sponsor taking responsibility for them. two of your references in bold are the same.

the electricity can be produced by natural engery now such as the sun light and wind. using those kinds of energies will not hurt the environment so i think u should add a idea that we should use those kind of energies instead of using water or burning coal, oil for electricity.

in the idea of writing a letter to Ban Ki-moon, i think the idea that building a campain will support ur opinion better. a campain also will gain more attentions from the UN.

objection of burning vegetable instead of fuel, how much vegetable we need to burn to create the same amount of energy like when we burn fuel. on the other hand we need more and more green creatures, which we don’t have enough now, to improve the environment. therefore Y do we need to use them to make energy.

otherwise i like your outline. GOOD LUCK.

Since the beginning of the 21^st century, all the economies from all over the world, which is including the U.S., has been drecrising. Therefore the U.S. government has been trying to improve the country economy system. They have been giving out millions of dollards to fix the situation, but beside the aids, the government also needs to realize some main problems that have contributing into crisis.

1^st problem: Congress needs to stimulate the Education system.

-          Solutions : give more supporting devices for school, improve the teachers’ knowledge

2^nd problem: Immigration is very necessary too develop a country economy.

-          Solutions: give more opportunities for high-educated immigrations, help the international students who want to have higher education in the U.S.

3^rd problem: we need to balance the fund for was and warfare.

-          Solutions: reduce the money for foreign wars, don’t need to spend more money into developing atom weapons

If i were the boss of a company, i would rather hire experienced employees at higher salary than inexperienced employees at lower salary.

One of the reasons that makes me think like that is hiring a experienced worked, you won’t need to spend time n money to train him. in business, time is very important and it means money therefore a good businessman can’t waste any seconds to do craps like that, because his opponents can steal the customers away from him quickly.

another reason is the effectiveness during working. it is so true that a experienced worker can do more and better works than a inexperienced employee. with a same amount of works and time, a employee with more experience in the job can solve faster and more than the one without experience.

Class plays an important role in students’ success. Three characteristics of a good class are nice friends, a knowledgeable teacher, and modern technology. Firstly, the most important for a good class is a knowledgeable teacher. Students can absorb helpful information from their teachers’ wide knowledge. It can be said that a teacher supports 50% for students’ success at school. Secondly, nice friends also make studying to become more interesting. They can share anything together, even happy or sad things, help each other to improve studying ability. Finally, if a class has modern technology like computer, projector, etc, studying is becoming easier for students and teachers. They can save a lot of time, or get information quickly through the auditory and visual illustration. In conclusion, nice friends, a knowledgeable teacher, and modern technology are significant factors for an ideal class. Students can improve their ability as much as possible if they have an opportunity to join in that class.

I like you paragraph because you give us a lot of ideas and your opinion. Your ideas are very clear, but you should not write the number in your paragraph. Thanks for posting

What are the characteristics of a good class?

1. Lively and free discussion- All students can communicate with their teachers and classmates easily and free. The students can learn more important knowledge, which can not be learned in textbooks, such as the social relationships or the manner of communication with each other.

2. Fun and varied activities - Not to be bored a class; the teachers should make the atmosphere of their classes more active and fun in which students who loose interests in their classes can more participate and enjoy their classes.

3. Unbiased treatment – Teachers should not be unbiased to their all students. Teachers sometimes tare more care of some specific students who are excellent in classes. It will discourage the other students, so that they are distanced from the classes more and more.

I like that students and teachers need to have free communication. If so, the classmates and teachers will have a better relationship by talking their problem each other. I think this is the best way to make a good class.

I think your ideas are very creative.

Good points, very creative ideas.however i dont absolutely agree with the last characteristics. cuz the teachers also need to show to their student that they treat the students fairly. therefore there are not gonna be any jealous during class.

That student meet a good teacher is very important. The teacher can make right direction, student following the teacher.  In school, teachers should teach not only academic subjects but also skill how to make a good relationship. Therefore, a teacher is very important a person, the teacher should has good characteristics. The characteristics of good teacher are well prepared, open minded, and a good communicator.

I agree your points that are open minded and a good communicator are very important points for students.

good idea buddy. however i think that teachers need to have a mixed attitudes forward the students like they need to mix between open minded and discipline.

To be a good class, students and teachers should get along with each other. To make it happen, students should participate in a class. Both students and teachers should follow general rules and expect each other. Teachers should have a little bit of humor which would make students have interests and make students participate in a class.

This is the good point to make a good class. what i like from your post is theachers should have a little bit og humor. If teachers have no humor at all, the class will be bored. Also the most students prefer to have humorous teachers than bored teachers!

This is a good idea to make a good class. however if the students would study better once the teachers have humor, the comedians could sub for the teachers.lol

Class is absolutely important in studying process. A well management and organize classroom will stimulate rapidly the students’ results.first of all, the atmosphere of the class has a especially affected aspects that contributes to the learning’s process. the atmosphere is including the level of lighting, the temperature, the distance between students, teachers, and supporting devices.then to have a good classroom, both teachers and students have to show good personal responsibilities to achieve the main academic goal, which is the students become success in gaining knowledge. The duties of teachers are let their students know what the purposes of the class are and what they expect from students. Students must listen to and follow the teachers’ instructions and policies that the teachers require the class to have. finally the teachers’ teaching abilities and knowledge background are also very important, because all the students will look up on the instructions of the teachers to understand the new lesson. therefore teachers ought to have a humongous amount of knowledge and well trained.
