arguementative essay-Television

       It is a recent issue whether watching television is good or not. Of course, TV distracts students from studying with fun and entertaining programs and they are really addictive that it is hard to come out once you go in. However, you can't ignore the good things that television has. For me, i think television is beneficial in many ways because we can learn from it and stress can be released.

      To start with, television is not only entertaining but it can be also used for education. Many people thinks that television is a fool box. However, there are documentaries which has abundant of knowledge and educational programs such as on-line lectures. These channels can help students to study. For example, my parents allow me to watch television but they always recommend me to watch documentaries because they are usually about the history from all around the world. Watching these programs help me to enlarge my background knowledge. I also listen to a math lecture from television as well. Since is i vacation and I have a plenty of time, I turn on the TV when it is time to start math lecture. After listening to it, I was able to solve the question that I wasn't even able to touch it before. It is really convenient if I just adjust the schedule. Therefore television can be used for studying.

       My second reason is that people release their stress by watching television. For example, our family members are so busy that we don't have enough time to rest during the week. But at weekends, we are too exhausted to go out so we sit around at the living room, watch television and eat snacks. We don't just sit and stare at the TV monitor. Television works as a medium that makes our family feel more attached. We talk and play and have time together.So the time when we are watching TV is more like a time of recharging our energy. Since we can't really see our faces so much, just being together makes me relax from the stress I get during the week.

       Of course, television might not be the BEST way to be used for education or to relieve stress. However, I do think that television is rather more beneficial than harmful. First, it can be used for education. Second, it can release stress. By these reasons, I think that television is beneficial.

narrative essay- I HATE math

       I used to hate math. Well,I still hate math. Whenever I opened my math books, there were no answers but just a bunch of numbers were flying. I always sighed when I went to math academy, and it took a hard time to finish their homework. Once, I started thinking about give up math. However, the 6 grade summer vacation changed my thoughts.

      
        Math academy didn't really help me out at first. I couldn't understand people who felt fun when they solve those crazy math problems. We don't even use it in reality anyways. SO i always felt that math was a useless subject. I did not participate much in class. Not only I thought math as a boring subject, but I also didn't have any confidence in math.
      
       When I took my school test, math score was always awful. All other subjects were over 96 but only math was heading down to the 50s. I got so depressed and frustrated. Because of math, I also got a low average. When I came back home, I tried to think what was wrong. Then I figured my self that I wasn't even trying. In fact, I didn't even prepare for math test.I always felt bothered to catch up other students since I was much far behind so I didn't even bare to try. Then suddenly I felt this is not the right path.
      
        For the coming vacation I only concentrated on math. I started from the fundamentals and I learned step by step. At first, I was a bit concerned because I was starting over from the beginning while other students were going ahead. I was also very worried about falling back again when I go back to school. But I tried not to worry about the future and just concentrated on what I am doing right now. Soon, I felt a sort of achievement and I actually felt a little fun. Of course there were some slumps but after when I overcame those, I speed skyrocketed and I was finally able to catch up others. For the test on second semester, my math score was 92.

       My math score is still not perfect. Actually, my math score was never perfect. It took me a long, and a hard time just to catch up others. However, I belive the time was worth it and that process is needed in order to step up. That is why I still did not give up math, not because it is needed to get a good score, but because to develop my self. Right now, I am having a hard time in history. But I know if I try, someday I will find out that I have grown up a little bit again.
