Online Stealing

Nowadays, singers are suffering from illegal mp3 downloading. They try very hard on their work, spend days or months to make it ready for people to buy it and enjoy it, then someone clicks two buttons and gets your month's effort for free. How rude it is! The 3 minutes song we download is may be 3 months' effort. Lots of people come together to form that music, make it sound good and then put it on market in order to sell their art on which they all tried hard to earn some money. Things are not as easy as they seem to be. No one has a right to steal effort of people. You dont know how hard they tried on it! You shoul also think the hard situation they will face; after you download their work for free. Befrore they start their work, they give some money as a capital. Then they hire people and work with them to make their song ready. Those people dont work for free! They have children to feed. You download their song for free but it does not concern the people who worked for the artist. It just concerns the artist. Those people will anyways get their money. But how the artist will pay the money of those people if you dont pay for what you download? So instead of earning money for their effort, they are their debts to those who helped them and get nothing for their effort. You migh say i did not have money and i found it on internet, so i downloaded it. This is not a reason for stealing. If someone gives you what he stole from someone else will you still take it? If you cant buy it, it does not mean you should steal it! You should be punished for your virtual crime!

Downloading mp3s

Thesis statement: Downloading mp3 without paying any money should be punished because no matter how you steal and what you steal; anyways you are counted as a thief! It is illegal.
Supporting sentences:
1.People are working hard to put out a work. After they complete their work; they are trying to sell their work which is very precious for them. And they want to get the result of their effrot.
2. By downloading mp3s without paying any money; you are putting them in a very hard situation. Before they start their work; people spend some money for their work and when you download their work without paying them any money they face difficulties in terms of paying their debts back.
Opponents idea: I dont have money to buy discs which are very expensive and if they put it on Internet for free it means i can download it .
Refuting idea: The prices are high because so much effort is put on them. How would you feel if someone downloaded your work on which you put so much effort, for free by using Internet?

Reliable friends

If i were to choose friend among a reliable person, a person with sense of humor and an intelligent person, I would certainly choose a reliable person as a friend. I would choose a reliable friend because i think that my friend should be someone i trust and share my secrets. Reliable friends are always with you when you need them. They are not just with you when you are in good situation. No matter how hard situation you are in, theyt will always be with you to help you at least try their best. They are friends who keep secrets. A reliable friend never talks behind your back or betrays you. Not every people who have sense of humor or are intelligent are reliable. I do not look for intelligence or fun, i look for loyalty. What is the advantage of having a friend who has sense of humor or who is very intelligent; if you cant trust him and share your secrets...

Type of the friend i prefer

The type of friend i am looking for should be a reliable friend.
Reason for 1: Reliable friends are people you can trust.
Example 1: If your friend is not a trustful person, he may backbite after you and tell about your secrets to other people.
Reason for 2: Reliable friends are always with you no matter if you are in a good situation or in bad.
Example 2: If your friend is not reliable, he or she will not be with you when you are in hard situation. Instead of trying to help you he will just leave you alone in the bad situation.
Reasons against (opponent's arguement): Opponents of this arguement claim that reliablity is not the basic issue in a good friend.
Refutation of opponent's arguement:

Travelling by bus

My family and i are going to a summer vacation. We decided everything like the place we are going to and the duration of the vacation. What remained was the type of transportation we choose. We had two options which were going by bus and going by plane. Both travelling by plane and travelling by bus have advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other. Travelling by plane is comfortable but expensive. Oppositely, travelling by bus is not as comfortable as plane but much cheaper than plane. The possibility of a plane having an accident is very low , but when an accident happens almost no one survives. The possibility of a bus having an accident is very high, but when an accident happens most of people only get wounded and little number of people die compared to the number of people that die in plane accident. Planes can travel very long distances in a very short time. But compared to a plane; a bus is like a turtle. Travelling by bus might be boring. But travelling by plane is not . Planes have all the technology. They offer you many films that are new, in the planes, each seat has a monitor which can be used for surfing on the net, playing games and etc. Also the food served on the plane is hundred times better than the biscuits offered by buses. You have many choices of food combinations which are hot and delicious served on planes. Planes may sometimes be scary for some people especially when there is tirbulance on air. Not so many people can stand it. But most people are not scared of buses. After we compared all these we decided going by plane.

Comparing Two Places on SL

Iam going to compare two places that i visited on Second Life. One of the was an island near seaside. There was a library on the island. The name of the library was virtual learning library. It was a two floored library which contained some stuff for learning. It seemed like modern library. The island seemed to be a newly built island. The weather on the island was winter and everywhere was covered with snow. Probably the island was a place for students. Because it contained a place which can be used as conference hall and a library and a place for discussions.
Second place that i visited was also an island. I first came to a house which had two floors. The house had a piano and some furniture and the walls of the first floor were covered with pictures. The second floor had only pictures on its walls. The house seemed like a museum. The pictures were probably old and very precious. The weather on this island was spring. The trees were full of flowers that have newly boomed. The island was very beautiful. Everywhere was covered with green grass. There was a river and waterfall on the island. The river divided the island into two. Also there was a musical academy. Both of the islands contained churchs.

When I was in third grade; I had a very good class teacher. He treated me as I was his son. At that time I was not very good at lessons especially in math. I could never get good grades on math exams. Although he was teaching nice; I always failed on math exams. One day our director came to our class. At that time our class contained almost 65 students. It was quite crowded and it needed to be divided into two parts. He informed us that there was going to be a new class in the school and a teacher was hired to teach the new class starting from next Monday. They were going to divide the number of students by looking at the class list. They told that they are going to take students starting from number 40. And I was the fortieth student in the class. So I was going to be taken to the other class and be separated from my friends and my teacher. It was a big shock for me. I could not stand it. I insisted on my parents to call the teacher and change someone else instead of me. My parents were saying that may be the new class would be better for me. But I made them call the teacher. Although they called the teacher, and asked for it the teacher told that it would not be fair and others would ask for the same and he refused it. I was too disappointed to hear it. But I did not have any other choice than going to new class. I was always thinking that the new teacher would be a very rude and a bad person. I had prejudices until I saw her. When I saw her, I understood that she was not a bad person and she was teaching math very well. Our class was better now and teachers could help students more because of less number of students. I was listening to her very carefully on math lessons. After one week, we had a math quiz and I did quite well on the quiz. When I learnt that I got full points on the quiz two days after the quiz I was very ashamed of myself because of having many prejudices about my new teacher.
