My opinion about the story ( Topic : Governor wants kids to eat healthy )

Most children like to eat junk food like hamburger, pizza and soft drinks.

I think children already become addicted to the sweet things and fatty foods. So parents should supervise them to get good habits in their diets.

In fact, parents is the best teacher for children. They can explain bad results of eating too much junk food to their children better than any others. And also schools must sell good foods to students instead of junk foods.

I would suggest a solution which makes children be healthier. Parents should always try to feed their children the vegetables and fruits for snacks. I think this way can make them be more familiar to those healthy food and also can help them choose good foods for the future.

My opinion about the news( Topic : using capital letters in e-mails )

I think most employees have to follow the company's policy and rules.

If someone goes against the rule, his or her managers and boss must warn him or her a few times to fix wrong habits and some mistakes.

But the employees don't fix their wrong doings, the company can give the punishments.

I think we have to consider what other colleagues feel and think about our actions in the work places and need to work with them in the good teamwork if we are employees in a company.

Emergercy situation( using the past tense and past continuous )

Teresa was going downstairs to the laundry, when Auntie Tin fell down in her flat.

When Teresa was knocking on her door, no one opened and answered.

Teresa called the ambulance to rescue Auntie. Tin.

And then ambulance took Auntie. Tin with her daughter Helen.

Teresa was explaining about the accident while her neighbours were listening.

Workers protest (opinion)

I think sometimes workers need to protest about unfair when they can't accept what happened in workplace reasonably.

Their protesting means showing something what they think to employer and other people.

After protesting, if the employer fix something wrong, it could be effective.

But sometimes the employers and employees don't understand each other. If there is no changes, they still have problems.

So I think all workers need a good working environment and they want to be treated fairly and to be evaluated by their abilities.

If a good working environment is ready, workers work harder and they can get a good result. And also it will improve productivity.

LOCAL WOMAN CATCHES THIEF(brief summary)

A Seaford woman saw a man who said he was lost directions to the station.

But she was very suspicious because he knocked on her neighbour's door again.

She rang the police when the man came out carrying the bag. So she decided to follow him.

She was very terrified. Police arrived to catch the man when she hold the train.

Finally, police caught him and said to her to be careful next time.

Computers in the classroom

I think that computers in the class are very useful equipments to teach students. Because they can support students' learning by various education softwares.

Children can enjoy variety of multimedias like movie, music and games with computers. That could make students get more interested in learning.

On the other hand, there could be disadvantages to children. They can spend more time to do other things like playing games and chatting with friends rather than studying by themselves with computers. They are not old enough to control themselves and they would be addicted in using computers. So I think that parents keep eye on their children's computer usage.

My place is good to live.

I think Merrylands is a good place to live.

Firstly, Merrylands is a multicultural suburb because it's very easy to meet people from other countries, so I could try to experience other cultures.

Secondly, this suburb has a big shopping centre near the station and also is very close to Parramatta. If I want to go shopping, I can choose one of them.

Finally, there are some beautiful parks in the Merrylands. So if I want to take a rest there, I can go there very easily. If  I want to get together with my families or friends, we can play any sports and do barbeque there without any difficulties.

For all these reasons, Merrylands is comfortable place to live so it's very hard for me to move to other places.
