Circuses Should Not Use Animals

Animals should not be used in circus. The environment where they perform and their living conditions are usually inappropriate. Tigers, for example which naturally live in wilderness, must perform tricks on a narrow stage and spend their lifetime in a small cage.

Besides, the living conditions of the circus animals are poor. They live in a cramped condition most of the time. They actually need more space to roam. They also do not have freedom to live with their own kind.

We should ban the use of animals in circus and their confinement there.

Why does the writer consider circus inappropriate place to live for animals?

Being on time is a beautiful social ethic and one of great importance, as it creates efficiency in systems and implies respect for one another. However, it is one the many values that is not easy for our students to learn.

Inner discipline, one that comes from an understanding of the set rules and regulations, is the highest form of behavior. Most excellent schools try to instill this with a loving environment. Why, even adults arrive late to meetings, work, etc. Here, we do not agree that late comers should be shut out. They can be given warnings, most of which are enough to make them try their best to reach the school on time later. If this fails, invite their parents to school.

By closing the gates, the school is behaving cruelly, to which we prefer not to expose our children. Every school has a responsibility to implant good educational principle, but it should be in appropriate ways. Good schools create competitive students who can organize themselves effectively in society, so that everyone gets a quality life as a result of ethics and values learned for as long as 12 years.

Children are precious and dependent on the adults for guidance. Understanding them is the key, and to this end, both parents and schools must work hand in hand without playing the blame game.

What should the school do if a student can’t stop his/her habit to come late to school?

Learning and teaching methods have advanced rapidly. Teachers not only use LCD Projectors and audio-video but also use smartphones. They utilize the sophisticated features of their smartphones to teach.

Teachers create a group in accordance with the class. Then, they give assignments, attempt and submit them via smartphones or the Internet. Teachers will show their marks within the group and students will notice their scores, including their friends’. This is important to motivate them to study harder and improve their skills.

Besides, teachers can use their smartphones to find materials and immediately display them in a classroom using an LCD monitor. Students can also do the same, meaning they can learn materials quickly and the learning or teaching process will be fun.

Furthermore, teachers and students can share photos which can be used during a learning process, such as an interesting place. Students can describe the place or relate their experiences when they visit it. This will motivate students to take a lot of pictures which are very useful for improving their skills, not just taking their own pictures.

Students can also discuss their school problems with their teachers via smartphones, so they may talk openly. This will not only solve their problems, but also make them closer, phsycologically and emotionally.

Except for weekends, people often ignore their breakfast. People are so busy that they often skip breakfast. Meanwhile, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Eating breakfast may reduce your hunger later in the day, which may make it easier to avoid overeating. When you skip breakfast, you may feel revenous later and be tempted to reach for a quick fix – such as vending machine candy or doughnuts at the office. In addition, the prolonged fasting that occurs when you skip breakfast can increase your body’s insulin response, which in turn increases fat storage and weight gain. In fact, skipping breakfast actually increases your risk of obesity.

Eating breakfast may give you energy, increasing your physical activities during the day. A healthy breakfast refuels your body and replenishes the glycogen stores that supply your muscles with immediate energy. Skipping breakfast is associated with decreased physical activities

Here are few tips to help you get the most out of breakfast time. Eat your breakfast early. Aim to enjoy breakfast shortly after you wake up. If you are not into eating early, have your first meal within an hour of waking up. Then, try to take at least half an hour each morning to sit down and eat. This way you can step back, savor your meal and focus on your upcoming.
