ESSAY WRITING
1- Should students stop surfing the internet?
Although the internet is useful and full of unlimited information, it has many bad effects on students, physically, educationally and psychologically. First of all, it can cause bad effects on health and hurt the eyes, the back and the neck. These damages happen because a student stays for a long time staring at the screen of the computer. Second, it may waste time and interfere with school work. Sometimes a student may leave the main work to surf another interesting site and forget about his main purpose. Moreover, it can make a student loner because of spending long time alone. Of course, when staying most of the day at home, friends and family members will not be seen. Finally, it is necessary to balance between surfing the internet and achieving other works and duties. We can have fun, but not before doing our main work.
2- A comparison Between Eastern and Western Cultures
A close look can show great differences between the culture of Europe and that of Asia. These differences vary in degree but are still considerable. "Is it true that the Westerns are superior to the Easterners?" On one hand, the East stand for spiritualism while the West for materialism, people of the East care more for the development of the soul and for life after death. But the Westerners are worldly minded. They do not care for any future life, but want to enjoy their present life. Hence, we find in the West a mad race for wealth, luxury and comfort. On the other hand, The Easterners are tolerant and self-sacrificing. They are peace-loving. They do not like to cause the least harm to others. They can bear the greatest hardship for others, and can sacrifice their own good for the common cause. Their social life is peaceful. The Westerners are quarrelsome and aggressive. They care more for their own good than for the good of others. No doubt, the Westerners have greater means of comfort and luxury, but all their worldly wealth does not bring them any greater happiness. They live in constant fear of war and destruction. The Easterners believed in the limitation of wants and so they are happy in spite of their poverty.
3- City Life and Village Life
Everybody can choose the place, where he would like to live. Some people prefer living in the city and others prefer living in the village, but what is really the best for us? First of all we should define our terms of reference. 'Village` means a group of houses with a mosque, a school and some shops in the countryside; but `city´ means a place, where people live, work and have fun. It contains many houses, shops, places of entertainment, companies, universities, etc. Living in the city brings to everybody a lot of advantages. In city you have a lot of sport, cultural and education opportunities. Young people get more education and knowledge in town than in the country, and also when they want to get a job, they will easier find it in a city. Very often young people from the countryside move to the city just because they cannot find a job in their birth place. Also, a very big problem is that in countryside there are no hospitals, so if people are sick, they have always to travel to town. In city you can find more opportunities for everything because it is bigger and has more inhabitants than a village. It also has shopping centers, swimming pools, tennis courts, cinemas, , restaurants and a lot of other places, where we can have fun. However living in the city has also its bad sides. In the town there are pollution, traffic jams and noise. There are so many buildings that there are no trees, flowers and fresh air.
5- Compare between boys and girls.
Who is Smarter: Boys or Girls? The Ancient Debate!
It is said that women are not smarter than men, but they are more aware and recognizant! This has been a worldwide controversy notion since the beginning of creation. People seem to ignore the subject in order to avoid any embarrassment. Some say that boys are smarter in a way that boys are physically stronger hence; they can learn new experiences like building a house, or cutting a tree. While some advocate that girls are smarter because they are deep thinkers and imaginative! Though they are physically weaker, but they are much better than boys mentally speaking. They think before they act and they remain calm in crises. Boys on the other hand tend to reason things out and find XXXXXXXXX solutions to problems. They don’t waste time and they like to hit the subject right away. That’s why boys don’t like to chat for hours on the phone without a goal. While girls are more emotional and tend to share their experiences, and that’s why girls are way better than boys in art. They tend to “split-hairs” and discuss more since they are minute about details. So, while boys consider girls talking on the phone boring, women find it very useful because they want to share their story with someone else.
