In the past years the use of the television and the internet has increased; this
situation has caused many people to change their likes and the way that
they enjoy their free time. Because of television and the internet, many people spend
less time reading, so the purpose for this essay is to
present reasons why people should read just for pleasure. The reasons that I give
you are quite simple: to improve your knowledge, to expand your general culture, to
have more fun, to make your imagination fly, to find new ways to express your ideas,
and finally to expand your vocabulary.
The first reason that I give you to enjoy reading is that when you read, you can
expand your knowledge and also your culture. There are a lot of good books in
which you can find history, novels, tragedies, comedies and a variety of other
themes. You can see that people who read more often frequently have a bigger
knowledge of life and also a bigger perspective of their environment. I think
that fact gives them an advantage over all others who do not read frequently.
The second reason to read more often is that through books you can have fun
and even travel in your imagination. Children have not yet lost the ability of getting
into their dreams, and because of this, in their first years the parents read a lot of
tales in which they use their imagination. Adults should try to keep this ability, so we
do not forget the importance of the use of the imagination. The imagination also
represents a tool that could help you to develop your professional career in a
creative way.
Finally, the third and the most important feature that reading offers you is that it
does not matter the age that you have, you always could expand your vocabulary
and the ways to express your ideas to the others in a simple and correct form. By the
time you can improve the kind of looks that you read, there are a lot of categories, so
you will never stop learning from the pleasure of reading. People who know how to
choose a book generally have the capability of choosing a formal book in which they
can find formal grammatical structures and obviously a formal vocabulary.
All these things allow them to gain greater fluency in their communication.
In conclusion, I recommend that you enjoy reading more often. There are
excellent reasons for doing it; you just have to want to expand your knowledge and
your culture, to improve your imagination and also your vocabulary. I know that we
should evolve with the technology; that is, it is good to know how to navigate in the
internet, but we must also not forget the books. Try to choose good books at the
beginning, and then I ensure you that you never will stop reading.

Skateboarding
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies
can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food from
supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases
fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it
appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform
stunts or runs they form firm friendships.
Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If
they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for
fun.
Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s
and Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that
streets are safe for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces
where they can race, chase, speed, and soar towards the sun.

Fuel Price
Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues.
People were affected severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they
cut their spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil.
There were also fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat
or fish.

Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because
their expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to
trim the number of employees because they are incapable of managing, buying or
selling price, standard wages and personal affairs.

Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but
the solution should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing
it to enhance productivity to its maximum.

Students’ Cheating
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during
tests, some students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that
students do during the test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put
some notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks make hand
signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking
something illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who
always cheat deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create
dependence. They weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming
test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit
continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and
mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board
and administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in
school’s vision. Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this
crime.

D. create
E. find
 16. “They weaken their self confidence.” (Paragraph 3) What does the word “They”
refer to?
