Test Awal Siswa L2t

Dear Sir/Madam

         I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday newspaper, ”Schools fail low income children”. As the head teacher of one of the largest Juniors high schools in the city, I fell strongly that the article does not describe our school. My school has children from many different economic back ground, but a large percentage come from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our test show that the children do well and benefit from the excellent works our teacher do. Last year our school moved from 24th to 5th place according to the official assessment by the state government. This is clearly not the “failure” that the article suggest. I would strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so that your newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our schools.

Your sincerely,

Juan Gonzales

•      Many of her students fail because of their parents’ low-income  

• The children from different economic background do not have good assessment

• Low-income children are not as good as high -income children

There is a lot of research on both humans and animals on the effects of caffeine, and
there  is  often  thought  that  too  much  is  bad  for  us.  There  is  no  conclusive  evidence to
implicate  caffeine  consumption  as  being  significantly  harmful  to  health,  but  there  still  is controversy  with  this,  as  there  is  still  some  negative  effects  associated  with  caffeine
consumption. Having some caffeine daily is okay, but using food and exercise strategies listed below will certainly help in reducing fatigue and avoiding caffeine addiction.
Caffeine  is  a  central  nervous  stimulant  and  can  have  some  positive  effects  on the humans  body. Caffeine in  low dosed is thought to  be  associated  with  an  improvement in sporting performance,  increased  alertness  and  reduction  in  fatigue  potentially  lifting  a
person's mood. Coffee and tea also contain some antioxidants which have positive effects on
heart health.
However, increased amounts of caffeine lead to dependency due to increased
tolerance and hence the need for greater amounts to gain the same stimulatory benefits.
Heavy users who gave to go without  can  experience  withdrawal  symptoms  such  as
headaches and fatigue. Too much caffeine can produce restlessness, nausea, and cardiac.
