Laptop as Student’s Friend

Conventionally, students need book, pen, eraser, drawing book, ruler and such other
stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their progressive
development. Students need mobile keyboards to record every presented subject easily. Of
course it will need more cost but it will deserve for its function. (Thesis)

First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the school
needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given in demonstrative
method. Consequently students need extra media cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on
every student’s desk, this method will help student to get better understanding. (Argument)

Secondly, finding an appropriate laptop is not difficult as it was. Recently there is an

online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that the shop has service
of online shopping. The students just need to browse that online shop, decide which computer
or laptop they need, and then complete the transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered
to the students’ houses. That is really easy and save time and money. (Argument)

From all of that, having mobile computer is absolutely useful for students who want to
catch the best result for their study. Buying laptop online is advisable because it will cut the
price. This online way is recommended since online shop also provides several laptop types.
Students just need to decide which type they really need. (Reiteration)

think motorbikes should be banned in

 STUDENTS WORKSHEET

Task 1.Read the following analytical text. Then, match of the words with its meaning

Obesity is a Nightmare
As the rate of obesity continues to climb in the United States, one age group is feeling the
ramifications more than most. More than half of Americans are overweight including at least
1 in 5 children. Teenage obesity is becoming an epidemic and for many teens, a living
nightmare.
The foods we eat everyday contribute to our well-
being. Foods provide us with the nutrients we need for
healthy bodies and the calories we need for energy. If we eat
too much, however the extra food turns to fats and is stored
in our bodies. If we overeat regularly, we gain weight, and if
we continue to gain weight, we may become obese.
besity means accumulation of excess fat on the body.
Obesity is considered a chronic (long – term) disease, like
high blood pressure or diabetes. It has many serious long-
term consequences for your health, and it is the second
leading cause of preventable deaths.
Obesity is caused by the false life style. People have meals at the fast food restaurant which
serve the junk food; they do not control their appetite, they like to attend parties where food is
abundant while physical activity is lack.
