Many people think that they can get sick by going into cold weather improperly dressed;
however, illnesses are not caused by temperature- they are caused by germs. So while shivering
outside in the cold probably won’t strengthen your immune system, you’re more likely to contract
an illness indoors because you will have a greater exposure to germs.

organizer below it.

Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class. While some students think that I am
just being mean, there are many good reasons for this rule. First, some irresponsible students
make messes with their gum. They may leave it on the bottoms of desks, drop it on the floor, or
put it on other people’s property. Another reason why I don’t allow students to chew gum is
because it is a distraction. When they are allowed to chew gum, students are more worried about
having it, popping it, chewing it, and snapping it then they are in listening, writing, reading, and
learning. This is why I don’t allow students to chew gum in my class.

It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies
make it very difficult for young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an

For number 4

Just as Peanuts seems to have absorbed so much of the popular culture which

preceded it, the comic strip has had a profound influence on the society and culture of its own
time.  Peanuts affects and inspires our daily lives, and not simply because we can open our
daily newspapers and find it there without fail (for over 14,000 days now without interruption—
one of the few certainties in a world beset by unsettling changes).  Peanuts has become an
integral part of the history of American culture through its influence in so many areas of our life
and society.

For number 5
I dreamed of going north and writing books novel. The North symbolizes to me all
that I had not felt and deen; it had no relation whatever to what actually existed. Yet, by
imagining a place where everything was possible, I kept hope alive in me. But where had I got
this notion of doing something in the future, of going away from home and accomphishing
something that would be recognized by others?
