The Person I Like Most!

 

The person I like most is my mother. First, my mother loves me a lot and  am her life. She loves as much as she loves my brother and my sister. Second, my mother buys me a lot of things: clothes, gifts, cakes and more. Third, my mother is the one who helps me most when I need  help, and supports me when I need support. Last but not least, my mother always encourages me to be the best and never criticises me when I get a bad grade at school. My mother is my life.

Cheating in Exams

      Cheating in exams has become a serious issue nowadays. The reasons behind this phenomenon are many. Firstly, students desire to get good grades due to pressure from parents, peers, and teachers. In other words, if students get bad grades, their parents will tell them off and their peers will laugh at them. secondly, students who lack basic study skills resort to cheating. These include critical and creative thinking as well as time management and test preparation. Thirdly, peer influence is another factor many students cheat. That is to say, cheaters tend to think everyone cheats as liars tend to think everyone lies. Fourthly, some students are lazy and look for ways to get better results with little effort. To put it differently, some students spend time playing and relaxing instead of studying hard, reviewing lessons, and doing exercises, and resort to cheating the day of the exam. Lastly, academic overload is also a reason why students cheat. I mean too much homework and too many lessons and not enough time may drive students to cheat. Therefore, parents, education practitioners and policy makers should work together to fight this phenomenon.

Causes and Effects of Deforestation

The tropical rainforest holds millions of unique plants, animals, and people. This important environmental treasure is being destroyed rapidly for multiple reasons. This will certainly have serious negative effects on biodiversity, the climate and people.

One of the main causes of destruction is logging for timber. Millions of trees are cut down every year, often illegally, and the valuable wood is taken and not replaced.

Besides, trees are cut down to use as firewood, especially in developing countries. Clearing is used, as well, to create land for grazing cattle and for growing crops.

Due to this deforestation, thousands of species of animals and plants disappear each year. These plants and animals could provide us with food, medicine or valuable products. So, this leads to a poorer world with less biodiversity.

In addition, the destruction of the rainforest results in exposing the soil to the heavy rain and to the sun, making it very dry and eventually, infertile and useless. Thus, the forest cannot grow again, and the people who used the land have to move on.

Another serious effect is global warming. When the trees in the rainforest are cut down, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide acts as a blanket, trapping the sun’s heat and warming the planet.

To sum up, the rainforest is important for the environment because it produces oxygen, stores carbon and has huge stores of timber, minerals, medicinal plants and food. I hope that each and everyone of us will take some action to address this problem and stop the disaster before it’s too late.

N.B.

Should Women Go out to Work

The question of whether women should go out to work or not is still being asked by many people today. This indicates that the question has not been answered. For me, women should be allowed to go out to work for many social, economic, and moral reasons unless they themselves decide not to.

First, women should work because the cost of living is very high. For many families, one source of income is not enough, and they need a second pay check to make ends meet.

Also, a non-working woman is usually vulnerable and disadvantaged. She may face serious financial problems in case the husband dies or falls sick or divorces her. One breadwinner at home is a game one should not trust.

Besides, granting women the right to work is a moral imperative. Women should enjoy the right to work, make money and provide for food, shelter and for her own personal items instead of begging the husband all the time.

Moreover, women are better than men at some jobs. Women make better nurses and teachers etc. Also, some cultures and religions prefer females in some jobs. For example most Muslim women patients prefer to be examined by a female physician and feel embarrassed in the presence of men doctors.

All things considered, to work or not to work is a decision that only the spouses should reach themselves based on their religious preferences, social class, and economic position.
