quality of good friends

What do you want most in a friend- someone who is intelligent, or someone who has a sense of someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you?

It is quite common that people have friends with a same intelligent level. Others choose their friends because of the sense of reliability. Which one of these qualities is the most important? This is a very important issue, because friends are a valuable part of your life. However, in my opinion, the most important characteristic of friends is reliability. In the following essay, I will explain my choice.

First of all, the first advantage of having a reliable friend has to do with money. I can advance money to all my friends due to I know that I will get the money back. These is very helpful in many circumstances, because everybody will get into a situation in which he or she needs money. For example, you meet your friends in order to watch a movie in cinema. Unfortunately, one of your friends forgot their money. In this situation, you only have two opportunities; you can advance money to your friend or you can watch the movie alone. If you know that your friend is very reliable, you will give him or her money without hesitate, so that you and your friends are able to enjoy the movie together.

Secondly, a reliable friend means also that your friend is always there for you. There are many situation in which it is very beneficial to have a friend you can talk about problems and worries. For instance, if you have some problems with your girlfriend, discussions with your friend is the best way to manage these problems. Additionally, a reliable friend will keep a secret, so that you can talk about everything without being scared that others find out something about your conversation.

Finally, a reliable friend helps you to save time. Let me explain this. If you want to meet your friend at a certain time, a reliable friend will be on time there. Everybody knows the situation in which he or she has to wait for a person a long time, so that he/she is very dissatisfied with the person, because of the lost time. Therefore, I think a reliable friend is very beneficial.

In conclusion, I am convinced that the most important quality of a good friend is reliability. A friend without these characteristic will not be longer my friend. Persons who are not able to be reliable are unacceptable as friends.

What would happen if there were no television? Why would this good or bad?

What would happen if there were no television? Why would this good or bad?

Television is an important thing for us. It is very useful for our life. Everyone can use it. We will get many benefit and knowledge from it. I don’t know how we can live without it because it is very important. Maybe another person will think we only waste our many using television but for me we not waste our money for a useful things. For me it will be bad if there were no television. Why I say like that? Because many reasons.

One of the reasons is television give us many knowledge from all country. Knowledge about our world example National Geography, from the story we can know about many things like our universe and what has in our world. In Animal’s Planet, we can know about how animals life, how their find their food and anything else. We also can know what happen in our country like a war, problem in our politic and what happen to our people. How we can live without television? We do not know what happen in our country.

We also do not have any entertainment. If we’re in stress, we can watch television to relax our mind. If we bored with study, we maybe can relax for awhile watch television after that we can continue back. We can know about entertainment development of another country. We can know whether our country have a same level like another country. We also can know who have made our country become popular in music industries.

Television also important in education. We can watch many channels that have relationship with education. The channel is very useful for students and children. Children very like watch a television so from that they can learn something. Many cartoon channels also have relationship with education especially about mathematics and science. They can more understand than only read in book only.

Another reason why television is very important because we can learn how to make our life more comfortable. We can learn how to arrange our time better and not so clumsy. We can learn how to make our home more comfortable and beautiful. We can learn how to cook, how to dress and another important things that can make our life more perfect.

Lastly, just imagine how our life without television. We will like a frog in a box. We cannot live without television because we will be like stupid people that do not want to know about their country and what happen in our world. Remember, although television makes our life perfect but we can be careless with it so use it nicely.

My Hero

My Hero

A hero is a person or thing that we can be proud and help us when we have a problem. A hero is the greatest person for us. Heroes are like Spiderman, Superman, Batman or anyone else. Everyone has his/her own hero whether it exists or not. For me my hero exists. He is my father.

One of the reasons why I choose my father is that he is always with me when I have any problem. Example, one night when I walked alone to home I realized a gamin watching me. I am so afraid that time but I must be strong. A gamin came close to me. I want to scream that time but I did not think anyone will hear. Suddenly, my father came and hit the gamin. They were fighting but nobody can defeat my father. A gamin ran away and my father came to me and hugged me. I felt tranquil that time.

Another reasons, he always make me happy and smile. He never let me sad. When I was in standard six my grandmother passed away, I am so sad that time. I was much closed with her and make me so sad because the date same with my birthday. Before this, my grandmother will make me my favourite cake so when my birthday my father will buy me my favourite cake. He said the cake same like my grandmother make although the taste was different so I did not felt sad anymore.

My father also advises me to never give up. He said if we want to success we must attempt until we get what we want. When I was in form two my result was very bad. I almost give up that time but my father said we all same but why have person clever and why have person not. The difference was our attempt. If we want we must do the best but if we did not want we will not get anything. Our attempt and determination are very important. The advice I keep in my mind until now so I will never give up and always do the best.

That’s the reason why I assume my father is my hero. He is brave, clever and the best father for me. I don’t think another person can be like my father. He gives me a spirit that I cannot erase from myself. A spirit that make me success until now. He is my best hero.

Post paid or prepaid

In this new era, technology was the important in life. Telephone or handset was the most things that every human has it. But not many know what is the prepaid or post paid that the telephone or handsets use it. What is the prepaid? What is post paid? Benefit it? Who need to use and target group?
Meaning of prepaid is value plus for our phone or hand phone.

Prepaid also have the illness like we need to reload when the prepaid in our hand phone was less. We can know that when we cannot call and send message.

my life without technology

What is technology? Is it important in our life? The answer is yes. Technology is very important in our life. I will feel like I am in 10000 before century if my life without technology. I think that this world will look dull and not fun. We will just like dumb person who do not know anything
Firstly, technology is a kind of entertainment. Technology can entertain us when we feel bored or tense. Therefore if there were no technology in this world it will become so boring. It is because I cannot enjoy myself for having some fun and release my tense. Maybe I would feel more tense if I do not have anything that can entertain me. There are so many gadgets that we can get nowadays that can entertain us for having some fun. For example, iPod, computer, lab top, play station ( PSP ) and so on. We can get all the gadgets from shops like Vaio and so on. So, we need all those technology so that we can have a better life.
Besides that, if there were no technology we are not exposed to the world condition. We do not know what is happening in other country. We as a human being we must know about what is happening to the other people in other country. Might be that they need help from us. So, when there is no technology in this world we cannot know what did they need or what kind of help that we can give to them. From the technology we can have or get the latest news in a short time of period. For example news on business, current issue, sports and fashion. We also can read newspaper directly from online. Right now we do not have to buy newspaper. We can just read it from the internet. When we are online and searching about what is happening in other country people will not laugh at us when they ask a question we can answer it. We are the loser if we do not know what is going on around the world. People around us will laugh at us.
Next, technology also functioning as a communication. For example, hand phones and the internet are the necessary needs in society. They made our life easier. Just imagine if we do not have that kind of technology. How would we contact other people such as our friends, family and our love ones. If we do not have technology, we cannot communicate with other people that live far away from us. For those who loves to make friends from other country they can still communicating if there is technology. We can exchange opinion about any topic with other people from different country. When there is no technology we just can communicate with the people that is near with us. For example, if I have my own company how would I can improve my business when there is no technology. It will affect my business. By having technology I can communicate with other customer from other country. It will increase my company profit.
As a conclusion, technology is very important in our life. It is for our better life. Without technology we are just like the people that live far away from outside world. It is better if we live in the jungle if there is no technology in this world.

The perfect holiday.

Everyone in the world always busy with their work, but they must get some rest like go holiday with their family. My parents busy with their work but them always have time for my family and me. They always bring me and my family go holiday for release our tension and strong our relationship. My perfect holiday when I went to Malacca, I am sure many people will thinks why Malacca, it was a bored place because it full with history. Remember, we must think positive without history we will not live happy like now.
I went to Malacca a year ago. We went there early in the morning by my father’s car. First place that I visited was A Famosa, a place that full with history. Many foreigner and local visited A Famosa maybe they want to know about one of the colonisation of Tanah Melayu. A Famosa was located at Bandar Hilir, Malacca. A Famosa was built as a fortress for Portuguese when a war. Once upon a time, A Famosa was a big fortress but now A Famosa only has an archway. A Famosa also have an accommodation for them to get some rest. After visited A Famosa, my father took us to another historical place like Perigi Hang Tuah who was our warrior.
After we visited A Famosa, we went to the beach. Malacca also has a beautiful beach for us to swim. Tanjung Bidara was the one of a beautiful beach in Malacca. I am so happy went there because I love swim. I help my mother prepared a lunch for us. My mother cooked various kind of food for lunch. After ate, my family and I went to swim. My brother rented a big buoy for my sister because she did not know how to swim. Many lifeguards were watching us because to make sure that did not have people drowned. After tired swimming, I sat at the sand and built a big beautiful sandcastle. My brother was so naughty because he hit my sandcastle using a ball. I am so sad but not for a long time because my brother treated me a delicious chocolate ice cream.
Malacca was also a place for the animal got a protection like Malacca Zoo, Taman Buaya and Taman Rama-Rama. My sister very loves with animal so my father took us to Malacca Zoo. The price was so cheap so everyone can come here. I saw many types of animal in here including a tiger and a lion. I saw a very big but cute brown bear and another species of bear. After visited Malacca Zoo, we went to Taman Buaya and Taman Rama-Rama. I saw many types of crocodile from all countries at Taman Buaya. I also bought a cute crocodile doll for my best friend because she loves animal especially crocodile. At Taman Rama-Rama, I saw many types of beautiful butterflies. I also learned how the caterpillar be a beautiful butterfly. For the general knowledge, butterflies can not life for a long time.
Last place that we visited was Bandar Hilir, a historical town at Malacca. We went there for shopping to make our holiday more perfect. We also went to Mahkota Parade, a big popular hypermarket in Malacca. We also bought some souvenirs for our relatives, my mother bought many ‘cencaluk’ and ‘belacan’ which was a traditional food in Malacca for our neighbours. I bought a big ‘congkak’ which was a traditional game of Malay. My father took us to see the Malacca tree which was the place where the place Malacca got it name from Parameswara.
After visited Bandar Hilir, my father took us have a dinner at a seafood restaurant. After dinner we back home. Although we were very tired, we felt very happy and satisfied with our holiday. This is a story about my perfect holiday, I just hope I will go Malacca again but with all my friends and learned to never forget about our history. I always remember what George Santayana say,’ who forget the past, they will repeat again their mistake’.

why students skip classes

Students nowadays recently keep classes.Who should be responsible? Their parent’s and people around this world should take serious of this matter. There are many reasons why students keep skip their class.

The first reason why do student skip classes is because they do not want to study. Some children, they do not like studying and sometimes they do not want to continue their studying. Therefore, their family especially their parents like to force them to do thing that they hate the most that us study. Actually the parents, cannot force their children to study. This will make their children more tense and stress. The more they will feel do not want to study. They feel that it is easier if they do not study because they do not have to take the exams, doing the assignments and so on. Sometimes the feeling to study will appear or come in themselves suddenly. When it comes, they will tell their parents that they would like to continue their study. And when that happen all parents should not be worry about their children education.

Secondly, the students will skip classes if they do not like the subjects. If they do not like the subject, the will not pay attention in the class. They will do something that will make them not feel bored such as they will play with their hand phones, talking with other students or disturbing their friends that study. They will do something that will distract their attention from the subject. So, they will think that it is better if they did not come to classes. If they did not come to class they can do whatever they wants so, they decide to skip classes.

Besides, some students like to follow their friend or member. They do not know how to differentiate between good friends and bad friends. If they choose their friends wrongly it will affect their study. For example, they choose a friend that does not like study. So, it will affect themselves too. They must be wondering what is their friends were doing when they skip classes. At first maybe they feel that it is not good but after they do it always it will become a habit. They like to waste their time doing something that do not give benefit rather than doing something that is useful and give them benefit. They like to follow their friends skipping any classes. They are like addicted doing it. They feel it is more happier because they do not have to tense themselves in studying.

Next, the other reason why students skip classes is they were fighting with their lecturer who taught them. After they make their lecturer angry with them they will start hating the subject that the lecturer taught them. Therefore they will think that it is better they skip the lecturer classes because if they come definitely they will be scolded. So, they do not come to class. After one lecturer they try to do the same thing with other lecturer. They feel good if they did not attend all classes. They will try to attract their friends to do the same thing.

Furthermore, they like to think about enjoying their life while they are still young. They think that it is better if they enjoy, do something that they like before they become old. They will think that what the importance of study. They will get nothing if they come to class. It is more fun outside the classes. Therefore, they will try so hard to get those fun. So, the only way that they choose by skipping classes. They will never think about the effect if they are doing this.

Next, some of the students come from village. So, they will not really know about all this. They think that study hard is not important because it cannot guarantee their future. Even though, if they study hard they will go back to their village again. They cannot think this way. They must think positive. By studying hard and get a good result can lead them for good job that can help them and their family.

As a conclusion, it is reasonable why students skip classes. Obviously, because many students didn’t have civil and they don’t like the lecturers. in my opinion, they should not skip classes because it will effect their future.
