Is Homework Necessary ?



First of all, I would like to than Mr.T for giving me the opportunity to say a few word at this article. In this moment, I'd like to speak about " Is homework necessary?": pro and cons. Many students do their homework. Do you think homework is really necessary for students? However I would like to explain this problem from many aspect.
Some students complain when their teacher giving them a lot of work to do. In fact, almost all of the students hate being given a lot of homework by their teacher and they have reason why they hate do their homework. First, students think that it is enough to study in school. Students will lose their time for sleep or play with their friend. Moreover, homework is a waste of time and paper. Students wants to relax after school and spend their time with their family. Homework can break this habit because homework takes time away with their family. It also makes student feel bored, even stressed out. With homework, students will lose their craetiveness because students think that they only need to finish it. Homework is a passive work.
But some of the students think diferrent. Homework makes students more diligent by getting exercise everyday. It also helps students to remember what they have learned and learn more. Teacher must have purpose for giving homework to students. It teach students to be responsible with their work and also increase self-discipline for students. This is very important because students need helps to grown up and to be workable person. Homework can be used for spiritual therapy. Therefore, homework makes students feel proud by finish their work. Homework also can change students's bad habit by prevents them from watching television until late at night. Homework can be used for preparing for the next exam.
So far, a lot of pro and cons about homework. Some students needs it, but others think that homework is only problem that is wasting their time. It depends of us, we free to choose, we are agreed or not.

English Assignment : Only Love Can Break Your Heart

"Only Love Can Break Your Heart"


When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Yes, only love
can break your heart
Yes, only love
can break your heart

Disaster : Volcanic Eruption





A volcano can be simply defined as a rupture or an opening on the crust of a planet like earth. This opening allows hot ash, molten rock and gases to blow off from the underground spaces. Volcanoes generally acquire shape of a mountain. Volcanoes are usually found at places where tectonic plates get converged or diverged. But there existence at a particular place depends upon many environmental and geological factors. Volcanoes can also occur at a place because of hot spots or mantle plumes. Even hotspot volcanoes are very common at other planets of solar system especially on moons and rock based planets.






 An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano's vents.  When the magma chamber has been completely filled, the type of eruption partly depends on the amount of gases and silica in the magma.  The amount ofsilica determines how sticky (level of viscosity) the magma is and water provides the explosive potential of steam.

When magma reaches earth's surface it is called lava.  It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows or erupt violently into the air.  Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcano or torn apart by the gas may be shot into the air with the lava.  These rocks blown out of a volcano are called pyroclastic rocks.

 Volcanic activity is classified by how often a volcano erupts.  A volcano may be active, intermittent, dormant, or extinct.  Active volcanoes erupt constantly.  Intermittent volcanoes erupt fairly regularly.  Dormant volcanoes are inactive, but not long enough to determine whether they will erupt again or not.  Extinct volcanoes have been inactive since the beginning of recorded history.
