Advertisements
There are many reasons for both sides of the question, “should we have printed advertisement?”. Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is important source of information.
There are some reasons why we should have advertisement in newspaper and magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisement promotes business. When shop owners compete against each other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more goods.
On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print onto paper. Also some people don`t like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. Ads also influence people to buy items they don`t need and can`t really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made to make the ads eye-catching.
After looking at both sides of issue, I think we should not have advertisements because they cost a lot of money and take up a lot of room in the papers. I don`t think I find some of them interesting. I mainly disagree because its junk mail.
“Ads us up a lot space and a lot of effort has to be made to make the ads eye-catching”.

The Graduation Standard
The implementation of the nerve graduation standard for High-School Students has evoked people to bring different responses. Some people’s ideas are pro some others are cont the rules.
Some people agree with the rule because it indicates students’ mastery of the whole material or the competence they have managed to have over the past three years. The result of the final exam is also significant for students’ future study in the higher level.
In addition, we are far left behind by our neighboring countries that have implemented a higher graduation grade standard. If the standard is omitted. then student will get left behind even further by those students from neighboring countries students.
However, some other people believe that imposing a high standard will not be effective. The results of the exams have proven to be unreliable. How can you asses the students’ competence only in a couple of days. A smart student for example, may get a low grade just because he is sick during the exam. On the other hand, an idle student may achieve the standard due to luck. There should then be an alternative way to the national exam.
Despite working on different points of view, I hope the government has a better and intensive solution upon improving the High-School graduates’quality.
