The Greatest Invention

Can you imagine your life without the computer?

 

  If all computers are broken down at the same time, it may cause factory operations to shut down and computer related work to be paralyzed, especially very important services including airplane control networks and banking system may come to a halt. Furthermore, meteorologists using a super computer to analyze weather data may have difficult in weather forecasting. Above all, I'm writing this essay by computer!

 

The computer has made virtual world-I want call it as another and new world-. It has become a major part of our everyday lifestyle and It is difficult to imagine our life without the computer. First of all, It is being used in various fields. In mathematics, it helps to solve mathematical formulas. In medical science, it helps to make a thorough medical examination such as MRI and computed tomography-CT-. Furthermore, it is needed in defense industry and higher education. A second reason is that it gives us a pleasure. Through prevalent computers and the internet system, we feel free to contact each other. It created new culture, E-sports, and people can play together through the computer, no matter where they are in the world. In addition, it affords the convenience to us. An e-banking and e-shopping may be the best examples of this. Also, it improves speed of our life. When we fill out a sheet of A4 paper, we can cut down our time by using the computer than by our own handwriting. It may be the loveliest invention to a translator, newspaper reporter, and researcher. Lastly, it has the greatest capacity. Small hard drive can store lots of information. Thousands of books can be preserved in a hard disk in good condition for future generations.

 

Without the computer, one of the greatest invention, we would be seeing absolutely another world.

The Baby Jessica Case

The Judges

The courts of the state of Michigan

 

To the Judges :

 

I don't agree with your ruling and think it was an improper judgment. In my opinion, Jessica should have remained with the DeBoers. First of all, the DeBoers, who have a successful life and live in a large house, seem to be good people who support Jessica and take care of her. What is more, they have already love her very much without blood ties. If they lose Jessica, they will be very sad and frustrated. A second reason is that natural parents of Jessica, the Schmidts, gave her up previously. Even though Dan didn't agree with adoption, they made a chance that they might do something bad again to Jessica when they encounter another difficult trouble. Also, if Jessica changes families at this young age, it is possible that she will experience psychological problems. Since Dan already had two children by two different mothers, Jessica will have stepsiblings. It may cause great confusion to her, "Who am I? and who are they?". Finally, If Jessica is taken away from the DeBoers, other people will not want to adopt babies. Though the DeBoers adopted another child, I think they felt so lonely, this absurd case may be the reason people don't want to adopt babies. If when adoptive parents raised their child well and natural parents suddenly turn up and say "We will take her back, give us her", how they feel? I want to make a representation to the Government that laws about adoption should be clear and firm.

(3rd homework) What makes person good at learning English?

Dear Prof. Stoddard :

Recently, I’m indulged in speaking and writing English, and want to introduce my ideas about what makes person good at learning English. I think learning English must be “Not Study, but Acquisition”.

First of all, English tests prevailing in the Korea, such as TOEIC-before introducing TOEIC Speaking-, SAT, etc, focused on reading comprehension and students are taught one-sidedly. One way English learner can felt interested in English is a study group. In group activities, they can play a game, debate about a subject concerning social issues, and play roles in TV dramas. The second way is ‘Virtual date’, I named it :). Men and women pair up, and then each couple write letters or e-mails each other. In this process, they should rack their brains to express genuine feelings. Eventually, they can extend not only their vocabulary and expressiveness, but also their attention and interest.

Above all things, motivation and circumstances are the “key” to study English effectively. Spontaneous interest in English is better than obligatory terms. “Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in”.

Best regards,

Jaeun Kim
