#15 Assignement - Farewell

    Finally, I finished this class of 'Essay Writing'. It was hard for me to write lots of assignement but I think these helped me to be better on writing. I'm not really sure that I improved my skill of writing english but I guess I did. And also this class made me less worries and more confidence at writing. I hope everyone in the class would feel the same way. The class is end but I don't think writing practice isn't finished for me. I'll keep working on it to be better and better. As you know, practice make perfect.
    Thanks to you, Ryan Hunter. I'm sure doing lots of assignements were hard for us but correcting our assignement was even harder. Nevertheless, you did hard work for us. Thanks again and have a great winter break.

#12 Assignment - For the Sake of Argument Part II

    Adoption doesn't make kids or the parents happy all the time. When the kids find out about it, they confuse their identity, mad at their parents.Some of them even try to find their birth parents for revenge. The parents who adopted kids can't keep the secret that the kids were adopted forever. Someday they would find out and ruin themselves.
    Adoption is good way to have babies for whom can't pregnant but also good way to abandon babies. The birth parents don't take responsibility of their babies and just run away. They don't consider that the babies grow up and would have hard time that they were abandoned. They think their kids would adopted happy family and have good life or some of birth parents don't even care about that. They got pregnant by mistake but couldn't do abortion. So they just give the babies to adoption agency or orphanage. The innocent babies doesn't do anything wrong but they are moved from here to there and wating for someone who would take them. They are not product. They are human babies. It's time for us to consider about that.

#11 Assignment - For the Sake of Argument

     Did you know that South Korea has low birth rate but No.1 country of exporting babies? It doesn’t mean South Korea has highest rate of abandoned babies. It is because they have a negative thought about adoption. However, adoption has good effect. Adoption will make adopted babies happy and parents too. Therefore I think we should change perspective of adoption and government should encourage adoption.
    If you adopt babies, they can have a family and will make them happy. I think it is much better to have a family rather than not but some people say that ‘I wish I didn’t have a family’. They can say that because they have a family. They don’t even know what it is like without family. Orphans would never say that ‘I’m glad that I don’t have a family’. Adoption can give a family to the babies so it should be encouraged.
    Some women can’t pregnant. They really want to have babies but they can’t. However adoption is alternative way to have babies for them. So adoption doesn’t just make the babies happy. It makes the parents happy too.
Government should encourage adoption and also make strict regulations for changing negative ideas of adoption. Some parents of adopted babies abuse their kids and some of them adopted babies to get higher priority of a house for installment sale. That is one of the reason that people think adoption is bad. To fix this, government should regulate stronger and observe the families after they adopted babies.
    Changing image of adoption is what we need to make better country. The government and citizens should work together to do it. If we don’t, South Korea will be remained as a No.1 country of exporting babies. What a shame? Furthermore, the babies who adopted in foreign country would hate their mother nation.

#9 Assigment

    This new is about changing of police of a japanese company. Most employees of this company have to speak english in every meeting, every mail and every piece of communication in two years. It is because english has become the most widely accepted language in business but many of japanese can't. The yonger generation employees of this company strongly against this decision. The messege of this news is that english is getting important in the world but they can't just force to everyone to speak english.
    I think, it is true that english is important so many students learn it yonger than my generation. It is because if they learn language yonger can speak better. However they don't know much about their own language's grammers or vocabulary. The employees of this japanese company also are worried about that. If they speak english all the time, who's going to speak japanese. I think the same. They shouldn't need to speak english all the time. They are japanese so they should speak japanese. It is better to have new division where they deal with english related work.
