Are Mobile Phones Necessary?
Mobile phones are everywhere. They are an integrated part of society and most adults
around the world have one. However, many people believe that mobile phones are
taking over and destroying people’s ability to communicate face-to-face. While I
understand these concerns, I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary and, if
used responsibly, are a very important and useful tool in modern life. Firstly, I believe
that mobile phones are a necessary aspect of modern-day life because they are a
convenient way for people to continue to work and communicate while away from their
office. For example, if an employee is working overseas or is on a business trip, their
mobile phone allows them to stay in contact with clients and colleagues. By using their
mobile phone, important information can still be received and sent; work can continue
without delay. Mobile phones are no longer used just for making phone calls. People
send emails and access the internet via their phones and many people use them to
record important information. After all, a mobile phone is much easier and more
convenient to carry around than a laptop. Secondly, I believe that mobile phones are
useful to have in the case of an emergency. For instance, if a driver breaks down in the
middle of nowhere, they can use their phones to contact either family and friends or a
breakdown service for help. Before the days of mobile phones, drivers would either
have to sit and wait for a passing car or leave their car in search of a phone box. Mobile
phones allow drivers to remain safely in their car, waiting for the arrival of help. Due to
the fact the mobile phone is ‘mobile’, people tend to keep it close, either in a pocket or
in a bag, and take it with them wherever they go. This means that in the event of an
accident, such as falling over and spraining an ankle, people are able to use their
phones to call for immediate help rather than waiting to be found. Many parents also
choose to give their children a phone in case they get lost; a lost child with a phone can
be easily contacted and found. page 1 of 2 In conclusion, although there are some
negative aspects to the use of mobile phones, I believe that the advantages of having
them outweighs the disadvantages. Instant and remote communication ensures that
information can be passed on with the simple press of a button. Whether this is the
sharing of emails for business purposes or in the case of emergencies, it is clear that
mobile phones are a useful, necessary part of life today
Why Students Should Eat Breakfast Every Day?
A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast.
Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time for
that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast
before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the
importance of breakfast, especially for students. THESIS STATEMENT
The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your health.
When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it’s
not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to have a meal
and not let your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of
problems with your health if you don’t eat breakfast.
Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your
classes. Your body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could
because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and
have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot of
people think that they should not eat because they are going to feel tired, but that’s not
true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, you’re going to feel tired if
you don’t have breakfast because you have spent the entire previous night without food.
The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if you
eat some breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat, you are going to get sick, and these
diseases will have a stronger effect on you because you’re going to get sick easier than
people who have breakfast every day. You have to realize that breakfast is the most
important meal of the day, and you cannot skip it without consequences for your health,
your school and your defense mechanism. It is better to wake up earlier and have a
good breakfast that run to school 2 without eating anything. It is time for you to do
something for your health, and eating breakfast is the better way to start your day. (384

The Importance of Reading and Writing
Today science and technology has come to pervade every aspect of our lives.
Computer, television and radio have almost replaced the newspaper and letter once
dominated our lives. Accordingly, the issue about whether the ability to read and write is
more important today may attract our attentions. It is clear that classified views have
converged into two: some think reading and writing ability is more important today than
in the past, while others deny its importance. As I see it, I agree with the former view
without any hesitation and my choice is based on a careful consideration of the
following reasons. THESIS STATEMENT
The main reason which may win most of people's support is that if lack the reading and
writing ability, one would be considered as illiterate who has been deprived of the most
basic right of human beings in the 21st century. It will be hard for us to imagine how
somebody who can't read and write communicates with other people. A case in point is
that one of my neighbors who is an old man and cannot read and write may only talk
with others face to face. As for making friends by email and search information in
newspaper, it is absolutely impossible.
The second reason I would like to point out is that people today who cannot read and
write cannot even make a living. Good jobs are difficult to find because of economic
depression. Nearly all the jobs require people who can read and write very well. Even if
one just plans to be a driver, he must read the road sign and know where he is and
where he will go.
Furthermore, the ability to read and write could bring us lots of advantages. Suppose
that people who have tried out with a hard week's sweat and effort may get lots of
benefits and relief from reading a short novel and broaden his horizon by appreciating a
nice poem. Many friends around me would believe reading and writing some effective
ways to relax themselves. People today especially those children may find it easier for
them to manipulate the mouse of the computer than to write things down by hand.
Watching TV instead of reading may still occupy someone's most leisure time. Yet if all
the factors I discussed 4 above are contemplated and we are to minimize the losses
and maximize the gains, it will not be hard for us to realize that the ability to read and
write is more important today than in the past. (421 words)
Why People Should Exercise
In the past, I have never been inclined to participate in sports. Honestly, I didn’t like it,
but many persons whom I lived with kept telling me every day how good it was. Since
the peer pressure was growing, I decided to go to the gym. It wasn’t until then that I
could really understand people when they said exercise really helped a person
get organized and keep yourself in a healthy physically and mentally. THESIS
STATEMENT
For starters, when you are a lazy person, it is difficult to take the first step, but it is all a
matter of committing yourself to something that will provide you a lot of positive
feedback. Once you start doing exercise and observing positive results, you actually
enjoy it. It takes a lot of effort and strong will, but it's worth it. The principal thing to do is
to participate in an activity you like. If you do you’ll start organizing your day in a way
that enables you to do everything you have to, including exercising. You will no longer
be a person stressed-out without time to carry on with all your activities.
Second, it is obvious that once you exercise you will have a better condition. You will be
healthier in a physical way. It is probable that you will lose weight and your muscles will
get stronger and stronger. Your body will feel good, full of energy and it will respond
immediately to any action you want to do, any activity that has to be done with high
spirits.
The third reason why exercising is good is that it affects you positively in a mental and
psychological way. Doing exercise helps you set specific goals which along with strong
will can be achieved. When you do that, you are aware of your abilities, accept your
weaknesses, and your self-esteem goes up. Any sport distracts you because it helps
you not to think about school, friends, problems, among other things. It brings you time
to think about yourself and no one else. It helps you keep your mind busy and to avoid
dangerous habits like drugs.
Doing exercise is very important to any person of any age. The positive effects of
exercising, which I’ve already mentioned, are like a chain. Once you do a sports activity
that you like, you get organized; therefore, you start doing things the right way 16 and
get enormous benefits which make you feel good as a whole human being. You start
living your life happily.
Why You Should Communicate Effectively
Establishing and developing effective communication is important in order to be heard
and change your environment according to your own thoughts. No one will guess what
you want or what you think if you don’t tell them, and nothing is going to change if you
do not propose a change. The purpose of this essay is to discuss four important
skills that will help you communicate effectively. Such skills are not to be afraid of
speaking, always defend what you want to say, express exactly what you mean to
say, and listen while you are not speaking. THESIS STATEMENT
The first aspect to communicate effectively is not to be afraid of speaking. Anytime you
need to say something, go ahead and do it. Most of the times people are afraid of
speaking because they are not sure if it is the right thing to say and/or the right moment
to say it. Be sure, say what you want to say, and do not regret it. If you speak you will be
heard and taken into account. You are important so you need to be heard. There is one
thing you should not do somehow: Do not say something that will hurt somebody’s
feelings. Unless that something has to be said inevitably, say it, but as softly and gently
as you can. Never hurt anyone intentionally. Always think twice before saying
something. You choose what to say, just be sure to say the right thing at the right time. If
you do that, you won’t regret a thing.
Second, if you want to communicate effectively, defend what you say. Once you have
said something you can never go backward; you must back it up. The worst thing that
you can do when speaking is to hesitate. Hesitance means self-insecurity and this
means weakness. The strength of your words will surely determine their effect on the
listener. The way that you speak and the content of your speech tell a lot about yourself
and your personality. A conversation allows speakers and listeners to get to know each
other better. Besides, people will only know what you say; they cannot go any further if
you do not let them. It is only by means of intelligence, strength, and security that you
will be able to change the world around you. And, it is also by means of intelligence,
strength, and security that you will be heard and taken into account.
The third main aspect of effective communication is to express exactly what you
mean to say. Pick up the words that will express exactly what you are thinking of. Do not
forget that one half of a word belongs to the listener and the other to the speaker. The
listener gets his or her own version of what is said. However, your job is to express
yourself clearly, so that you can avoid misunderstandings. Although, avoiding
misunderstandings is a hard task (not impossible), when it is achieved you will be
expressing yourself effectively. Everybody will be able to identify exactly what you say,
what you think, and what you want. Words are double edged weapons which can be
used either to defend or to attack. If you make a good use of them, you will be able to
do almost everything.
The fourth main point to effective communication, and probably the most important of
all, is the listening part. Listen and do not interrupt when it is no longer your turn to
speak. You will surely learn new things from listening to others. If a person is speaking,
it’s because she or he wants to be heard. Effective communication is based on both
listening and speaking. If communication were based only on speaking, it would be an
absolute tyranny. Nevertheless, communication is the means through which you
express yourself in order to be heard and change your environment according to your
own version of reality. Thus, it would be impossible to change anything if there were no
one to listen, learn, and accept new ideas. Listening is a gift, and good listeners are
always very appreciated because there are only a few.
Effective communication will help you to express yourself better, allow you to let other
people express themselves, and help you to change your environment toward your own
thoughts and beliefs. Words inspire no fear. Speak them. Words make you strong.
Support them. Words show what you are and what you think. Do not let yourself be
misunderstood. Words are valuable. Listen to them! (750 words)
