Tan's Happiness

In this day and age, technology has become the most important factor in human life. However, using technology can be harmful to the environment. Many technologies consume a lot of resources because the way we manufacture them can create pollution, especially air pollution.  I never heard of this before, but I had searched from the internet. In my understanding, Cambridge Analytica is a company that formed in England, and the target of this company is helping politicians to win the election. This company held millions of Facebook users’ private information, and they can use this information to increase the number of voters. Moreover, in 2016 the election in the USA, Donald Trump hired this company to help him win the election against Clinton, and he had achieved his goal to become a president in the USA. In my perspective, I do not think that technology has created a gap between family and friends; instead, it helps us to stay in touch with them.  Participate in a...

Indeed, learning in school is not enough for us to live in the real world, we should have experiences from the outside world as well. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the differences in gaining knowledge from experiences and books. And In my perspective, the knowledge that we learn for our experiences is the most important thing. The knowledge from books gives us a strong and sufficient foundation for us to broaden our imagination and ideas to use in the future. Likewise, gaining knowledge from books is like learning from someone else's experiences, it is the knowledge that we learn from other's success, which I think is not enough for us. However, books are still important. For example, as a doctor, of course, they must study hard by reading medical books and many important theories before they perform real experience. Therefore, in order to become an expert with the proper experience, gaining knowledge from books is necessary. In contrast, by gaining knowledge f...

Mostly, I use social media to entertain myself, for example, watching some videos on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I only use it to contact close people and following my friends’ lives, so I do not have any negative relationship with social media at all.  Being online does not change any of my performing and personalities. However, we must know what appropriate or not appropriate to post or show something online. In my view, some famous people must pretend to be someone else in order to get a reputation from people, so they must create a new character to make viewers enjoy and happy. In my perspective, social media makes people get closer. When people live far away from each other, for instance, living in different countries. Social media can help you to contact your family and friends instantly from long distance.  Social media has an influence on people’s behavior, which will lead them to social addiction. You can see people always play with their smartphones while le...

I really enjoyed writing a Cause & Effect essay because it helps me improve myself to another level of writing skills. Also, the topic that I chose is what I am interested in, so that is why I am really enjoyed writing it. Writing this essay helps me to explore different kinds of perspective more effectively, which I believe it is a valuable and important skill to have in order to write a clear and concise academic essay in my second and third year and so on. From what I have seen myself, I think in this essay I did a pretty good job than my previous one, especially my first draft. My organization goes along with my ideas and content, which is better than the comparison essay. Also, I am quite confident in my vocabulary including punctuation and transition words. I think that my skill of cohesive and coherence is improving due to the blog’s homework that has been assigned every week. However, there are still grammar errors, which I have to improve and practice more in order to r...

Forest is one of the natural resources that going to disappear in the near future. This is due to the population growth of humans that is growing rapidly. Although there might be some campaign that trying to conserve the environment and natural resources, it still not enough when compared to the number of trees that have been cut down because of human activities. The reason why the forest needs to be saved is that cutting down trees leads to many effects of the ecological system. The main effect is that many animal species such as insects, mammals or amphibians all rely on trees for their habitat including humans who have planted trees to build houses. Some animals use trees as their homes, whether living on trees, leaves or living on the roots of trees. Therefore, without forests, animals will have no place to live. The forest is tha main food resources for animals, when forests are destroyed, animals have no fruit or parts of edible trees to eat. As a result, the number of herbiv...

In Thailand, unemployment is a very serious problem. Nowadays, finding a job for a new graduate seems to be difficult because Thai's government has been setting a new law, which allows older people to work until they are 70 years old. Which means that they can work for up to 10 more years until they retire. This is a very serious problem for new graduates who want to work as a civil servant or government officer. However, even the new graduate can find a job from private companies, the salary is very low compared to living expenses in Thailand. As a consequence, this causes a big gap in social inequality between the poor and the rich people. The reason why there are so many unemployed is that the number of new graduates per year does not correspond to  the labor market that is searching for jobs which less than those students ' graduation rates. Job selection is another issue that leads to unemployment, lack of work or wanting to follow the line of study., which can be an...

It is widely believed that grades help motivate students to learn. In this essay, I will explain why I totally agree with this statement. The first reason is that having a good GPA is always better than having a low GPA, which allows students to widen their opportunities to find a good high-quality job. Also, if people get a good grade they can be able to achieve their dream jobs, and that is the main reason why people want to study hard. Besides, grades are the most significant factor that encourages students to learn. If the grade does not exist, students would not have been eager to learn because there is no indicator that measures their knowledge and quality after graduation. Another reason is that when students get a good grade. Apparently, their parents will be the first ones who will be happy and celebrate their children's achievement, due to the fact that most Asian parents want their kids to achieve the best in their life in order to be ready for the future. Parents...

Study abroad is one of my life goals since I was young. There are many reasons I chose Japan as the place to spend my 4 years. First, I really like Japanese culture. I have been traveled to Japan for about 5-6 times before I decided to study here. Every time I traveled to Japan, I really interested in their language, food, and tradition. So, that's why I wanted to learn more about their culture. Second, Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. This is not only the criminal things that rarely happened but the environment such as the atmosphere also good for our health as well. Besides, My parents also like Japan, so they also convince me to study here too. Finally, the Japanese language is necessary for most of the companies in Thailand, so learning Japanese will help me increase the opportunities to find a job in my home country as well as in Japan.  Getting to live in an environment that requires a foreign language such as English is considered to be the best way to...
