Essay
I have three reasons for what are the imporant qualities of a good teacher. Those are to love students as my family, to not use any violence, and to thinkg that students are the first because if teachers want to be the best one, but you don't like students, there is no way that someone can be a good teacher.I think to love students is very important because if teacher likes all the students as the equality, students will like teacher, mostly the students will show their teacher their hard work. For exammple, I've had a best teacher in grade five. He was very gentle, except beginning, he just wanted everyone to listen to him, he was very close to the students, he liked to do the stuffs that student like as necessary stuffs, he would have double gym class, if he missed for other subject studying, which was good because everyone like the gym class so much, as he acted that way, we acted him back, we studied, he knew we are studying because my class average was 10% higher than the other class average. So if you like the students and act, you will be one of best teachers for the students.Second reason was to not use violence, it is very simple to say. Who likes teachers who are violent, or would you like to have violent teachers. Simply we don't. I think that is the reason why all the teachers in Canada don't use any violence, but some Korean teachers do use violence for the punishment, which will cause unlikeness from students.The third reason, to think that students are the first, it is very similar to love the students because if you think that students are more important than myself, that means you like the students, you are in the school as family, which will have good times at the school, students will like the teachers if you act, and will be teacher with good quality.Many teachers want to be a good teacher, but you don't have to worry if you have read this essay, you can be a good, or the best teacher at the school, teachers don't judge you, students judge you as good teacher, so try it now! if you are teacher

Obama
In this article, it also talks about money, and all the politician say great things about the decision. Criticism came from economists such as Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist, who said the non-recourse government loans would allow private partners to make large profits if their bets went well, while leaving taxpayers with the overwhelming share of losses if the bets went badly wrong. Political analysts said the embattled Mr. Geithner had regained some control of the economic debate, which had been dominated by rage over bonuses at AIG, the crippled insurance group. There will be two new schemes – one for the legacy securities and one for whole loans, both of which will focus on real estate-related credits. Under the legacy securities plan, the government will authorize up to five investment managers to raise equity and provide a dollar of equity and between one and two dollars of debt for every private dollar raised. And Mr. Geithner's bank plans was that Under the legacy loans plan, the government will provide matching equity while the FDIC will guarantee up to $12 in loans for every dollar of private equity at risk. Banks will submit pools of loans for auction. Banks said the plan’s structure was likable to them as it gave them the last word on whether to sell their toxic assets.Additional reporting by Sarah O’Connor

It is March, to the hockey teams, they have to work harder than in the beginning of the seasons because to go to play offs, you shouldn't lose. Calgary has intense game with Detroit, score 5:3. Mike Camallari scored twice as it made Chris Osgood, the goaltender of Detroit, shaking because of this advantage in the game, Calgary has won. Osgood said "it was the worst game in this building", he meant that he knew he played bad. Miika Kiprusoff, the goaltender of the Flames, made 30 saves, these saves led Calgary to the vitory too. As a Sharks fan, I hoped that Flames win because Sharks won't be behind by Red Wings. Anyways, it was intense game for Calgary to go to play offs safely, go Flames, my third favorite team in NHL
Essay
Many students can feel that we don't care with book, and they are saying that book does not help anything, but I disagree with them, I know better I think because English is my second language, therefore I have been reading English book every single day since I came over Canada, so I am going to show you that how books work by reading.First, I can say of course English skill is getting a lot, way better thatn what I had, you can feel difference among reading everyday, and not reading. I camse here last year Feburary, 2007.2, I could not speak anything except a few words hi, how are you, and I was scared if foregin, Canadian asked me something from out side, so I had to go step by step, I read write a journal for little part, I practiced cursive, and school work, and also I had to memolize a lot of the words. And now, I can speak English as my first language Korean. I also did not recognize skill was from book as grammar stuff, so I asked my homeroom teacher that what has happened, and she was laughing, ans then explained everything to me, first time no people enjoyed the book included me except people who liked to read even they did not know how to read, what is the book as my brother did.What I want to explain you in this paragraph is that first time you feel board and does not learn anything, but if you take the time, you can read, and it will help you a lot, grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills.Reading, it is very board first time ,but time by time you can enjoy also feel learning something. You can learn a lot of grammar, vocab, and writing skills as I already said. You also can feel that your speaking is getting better, when I started to talk a lot, I felt that is the book's effectional thing because there are conversation, so if we learn that, we could use in out of the world of the book. So In my opinion, it is very useful. What happends if you do not know how to speak, then you will feel you want to go home if you are foreginer of Canada, and you can't speak, and if someone ask you, you will be very embarassed, that is why speaking and book are both important as I wrote already first and this paragraphs.I think these are simple reasons that might help you, even you are native speaker, which not a foreigner you might, and can feel this, if you are still reading ^^, anyway as a result, by these reasons you can see the information that how books, and reading help you.

Article
For a little while, there was a big baseball game, WBC (World Baseball Classic), and this article is about the victory for team Japan kept their championship over Korea, which was a cheap win. The reason why I am saying they had cheap win is they were good, but they did not keep any manner. For example, when it was before final game, they threw the ball with 140km/h right to the Korean player, and influenced the defense play, which almost caused injury, I think these are why all Koreans say they are not feeling anything about the loosing game, but mad at what, and how they have played for a long time. Korean in final, they went to over time, it was 3:3, but, Ichiro, one of best hitters, hit the RBI, so they made 5:3. I hope in next WBC, Korea defeat Japan, and win the championship.
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/story/?id=272359&hubname=nhl-sharks&lid=sublink01&lpos=headlines_nhl-sharks San Jose Sharks is my favorite team in NHL, they were in the first place for a long time, but they had some problem with injury. Before this victory, Sharks had many players with injury. For examples, Evgeni Nabokov, the goaltender of Sharks has lower body injury. Rob Blake, one of the greatest defensemen, had injury in his ankle. However, after their come back, the Sharks have shutout Anaheim Ducks, won over Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, and Nashville Predators. So this article is showing that, the unlucky injury of Nabokov has influenced the Sharks, but after his comeback, he helped Sharks to be first in the conference and the league. I think that because Nabokov has returned, Sharks will keep their first lead till the play offs, no one knows what is going to happen in play offs, as a Sharks’ fan, I hope that Sharks will the Stanley Cup and for this happen, all the great teams should lose like the Devils, Capitals, Bruins, Canadiens, Red Wings, or Penguins. Go San Jose Sharks!!

About Obama
Article
As reports from yesterday's canvasses continue to come, news outlets across the country have been taking not of what was accomplished yesterday, and the significance it could hold for the future. From the front page of today's Washington Post:
As she headed into the morning sunshine to talk up President Obama's $3.6 trillion budget proposal, Althea Thomas counted herself a citizen and a partisan picking up where she left off Nov. 4, backing the president she helped elect."It's the change we all voted on," said Thomas, one of about 40 volunteers who fanned out from the Democratic Party headquarters here with clipboards, pledge cards and a sense of mission that flowed from their support of Obama when he was a candidate.The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee opened a new chapter Saturday in their ambitious project to convert the energy from last year's campaign into a force for legislative reform on health care, climate change, education and taxes.More than 1,200 groups from Maine to Hawaii spent the day gathering signatures in support of Obama's economic plan, the first step in building what the White House hopes will be a standing political army ready to do battle.Seeking to create a grass-roots force on a scale never seen before, Obama called the volunteers into action in a video message reminiscent of the 2008 contest. In defense of his budget, under attack from many quarters, he asked his supporters to go "block by block and door by door."...The idea of deploying a grass-roots army for legislative purposes is untested. Unlike a political campaign, where ballots are simple, if blunt, instruments that produce winners and losers on a fixed date, a policy campaign is amorphous."If successful, it would have revolutionary implications for American politics," said Ross K. Baker, a Rutgers University political science professor who counts himself among skeptics....Preparing for the long haul, an OFA executive said volunteers will continue to gather pledges through the Internet, phone banks and shoe leather, and deliver them to members of Congress as a budget vote draws near....The organization aims to develop a structure -- including at least one paid staffer in each state -- in time for larger fights over health-care, climate change and education legislation."This is all being driven by volunteers. It's an extremely exhilarating process, but also nerve-racking," an Obama veteran said. "We have a very, very scaled-down staff as of right now."Randall Stagner staged an event Saturday in his home in Raleigh, N.C. For the former campaign volunteer, it started with a call from Organizing for America. He tapped into the 2008 Obama Web site and sent an e-mail in hopes of rustling up some interest.He received 300 replies."I was overwhelmed. There was a lot of pent-up desire to go and do things," said Stagner, 49, a retired Army special operations colonel. He identified 10 people across the state willing to organize a canvass. In all, he expects 30 events.Stagner has been practicing his own pitch: "You tell people specifically what the president is doing and encourage them to reach out to their senators and representatives and tell them, 'No kidding, we voted for change, and that includes you.' "Mary Alice Williams had an Obama network to draw upon in Grand Rapids, Mich., when she got Stewart's mass e-mail last weekend. That day, more than 30 former campaign volunteers had marched behind an Obama banner in a local St. Patrick's Day parade.Volunteers who bonded during the campaign -- turning Kent County Democratic for the first time since 1968 -- have stayed in touch, and some have continued to meet."After the election, there was this 'What now?' letdown," said Williams, 66, who took to heart the Obama campaign message that the election was not an end in itself. She liked the idea of building a movement that would do more than elect candidates to office...."I'm inspired by the civic engagement aspect of it: ordinary people whose only stake in this is to create a better community and a better America."As corny as that sounds, that's what most of us really believe."She is optimistic, even in Michigan, home to the nation's highest unemployment rate -- 11.6 percent."Hard times are the best times to organize," Williams said. "When times are good, people are in their bubble."...Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) watched volunteers in Evanston head out the door with their clipboards and saw a message in their willingness to act."It says the movement continues," said Schakowsky, an early Obama supporter. "The grass-roots organization still exists, and they're still needed to move this agenda."
Before Obama became a president, it was George Bush, he was one of president card about war, especially, at this time, the war again Iraq, was important, if John McCain became the president, USA might have the worst period for their economic problems, but because Obama became president, he is really trying to change the country just like the article that is above because it is also saying that after Obama became the president, it is changing, it is amazing how he changes, choose to spend on money, these are great choices. It could have been dangerous, but to be fixed you got to step up even though it is dangerous. In my opinion, this article is basically saying that Obama is changing, he spends the money, and here comes the results, it only has been a few month, but still, this is great how he fixes the country, the groups of people and the a few great people say he is changing, too. In my opinion, Obama has mutability to change the country because, first of all behind him, there are lots of people who can help because he is democratic, trying to rule as country governed by people. Also the US citizens like them, I mean they also want to help Obama if they can, and they are, they really like to help because he is changing the country, he showed the results, and people believe that he can change, too. No one can say anything, if peoples like the presidents, and the government under Obama likes him because that is big amount of power unless he turns into evil. It is phenomenal, and amazing how he changes US, it really affects Canada too, because two countries always help each other, and these two are very friendly. If I was Obama I would never be able to change the world, but Obama can, I and everyone believes him that he is going to change.
Essay
All the students’ think that their grades are very important, so I do agree that grade encourage students to learn, even though it causes problem sometimes, but mostly it encourages because grades show that students can do, and it makes you to keep trying. However there are some problems, which will not encourage students to learn.
Whenever people see that they were doing better, they get more, better confidence because they feel that they can do it, especially, when students were not doing as good as in the past. In my experience, when I first came to Canada, I did not really do well because of my English, but I did better because of teachers’ comments, they told me not to disappoint myself, but keep trying hard. I think this is why grades encourage students to learn.
Mostly, if students get low marks, it doesn’t exactly encourage students, but it forces students to study to get out of low marks because it is very disappointing if I do bad on the test. So because people get low mark, they try harder to get study.
Sometimes it does not encourage because, it might remind that students are not smart enough to study his courses, it makes students to give up because of the marks if they felt that they have studied, but in my opinion, if you got low mark, you have not studied for the exam, or you do no know how to study, that was my case, but I do not think that students are not smart enough to study though.
Mostly, it encourages students to learn because it make them to feel shameful, so I agree with to topic with the reasons above, but sometimes it makes students not to study.

Essay
I disagree that playing a game is fun only when you win because there is no way that you can always win the game, game was made because it makes you to enjoy, when you play game, there shouldn’t be any anger with playing.
You shouldn’t play game if you don’t feel any fun. You can get angry if you lose every time, but that is not a point of playing game, no matter you lose or win, you should enjoy, that is the most important thing. There are lots of time that you can play game in your life, so when you lose, you just got to try hard, just like studying something. If you failed, you try hard, then finally you will achieve what you want.
You have more fun when you win, and it is still fun when you lose the game because you were enjoying the game while you was playing. If you lose you will feel bad, but you will be able to win, when you keep playing the game. In my experience, whenever I felt bad because I kept loosing, I changed the way that I play, if I lost the game, I changed the level that I was playing, then won the game because it still make you feel good.
I think that I am going to say when you win the game, you will feel better, but you feel kind of sad when you lose, I don’t think that many people can notice this, but the meaning of keep trying is you are enjoying, and being aggressive. So you are having fun, but only result was bad.
The games are making people fun, as a result, when you win, you feel better, but when you lost, you feel ok, but those make you to enjoy while you are playing game, you just don’t feel the “fun” because you were just being aggressive.
Essay
There are many ways that you can feel successful, one kind is earning a lot of money, but not only people who earn a lot of money are successful, if they have no happiness, no family, or no friends, they are successful about working, but not about relationships.
People who earn a lot of money are successful, but not only rich people are successful. In my opinion, success means differently in many ways, rich people have achieved in their process of working. Even though you are not rich, you live happily with your family, you have fun, which is another way that has achieved, and are successful, too.
The reason why I said people who are rich are successful in their process of working is that no one knows how he or she lives, are they just successful in their working, they might not be successful with relationship between family, or friends, money became important, but money is one result that shows you are successful, it is part of you success, so even if you have lost of money, if you have no where to spend the money, then you are not successful enough, even if you earn lots of money.
I think people who always try hard, have good relationships, and luck can success, no matter with money because to me, when people say you are successful, that means you have more than achieved, you are perfect or almost perfect.
As a result, not only people who earn a lot of money are successful, they have achieved part of their achievement, but not al.
Essay
Students who care about art and music want these subjects to be required in the secondary school, but in my experience, many students don’t really care about art and music, so I disagree that all students should be required to study art and music in secondary school.
In my experience, many people don’t care that much about art and music, even though they like these subjects. They don’t care because they think that art and music are not going to help them to go to university or career, and they don’t enjoy these that much. Art is very hard unless you are so talented because unless you are really good, you get low mark, even though you are one of hard working students.
Lately, there are not that many students like art and music. In my experience, except one friend, no one like music because it is very boring, especially when we learn the history of music, or opera, young students like to play, but as you get old, they lose their confidence of playing something in front of people, and they don’t take music seriously. Art was good because I could relax, for sure there is some week that you are very busy, in that case, when you have art class, you feel better, especially during the exam, but it is very hard for students draw well, and some teachers are very complicated, so they don’t think that art and music should be required in secondary school.
Unless students like to learn art and music, I don’t think that those two subjects should be required in secondary school with these reasons.
Essay
There are all kinds of experience that people know, but experiences that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future mostly because we know that if we are doing something same way, we know that we shouldn’t do.
I haven’t experienced that much difficult things, and I am not old enough to say things about the work, but I think I know some about studying. For example, when teacher gave us big project, I should work daily, so I won’t be busy before the due dates, and get low marks for my result, unless I am brilliant and genius. When I am don’t know what to do, if I make schedule, which is helpful to study.
I think it has to be valuable lesson for the future because you don’t want horrible things to happen again, no one does, especially the experience was difficult at that time, you don’t want to have things are bad, and you don’t want to have mistake that you have got, so you will be more careful, and hard working in some way. People never want to get the bad things again, and again. So I think that because they don’t want to repeat bad things, if they experienced, it will be valuable lessons for the future.
Another thing is that because you have experience, you will know how to keep you in good ways. Because you know what the bad things, you will have confidence, not try to have any mistake, and you will do better in some way because some people are not well experienced because they have been wealthy… etc
At the time that you got difficult experience, that is very hard to stay, but as you are growing, you will notice that because of experiences, you have passed through successful way.
Essay
Some people say that history and literature are more important than science and mathematics, but I think that is more important for students to study science and mathematics because we don’t have to know the history later on unless I am going to be a history teacher, and it is very helpful to know well math and science.
The reason why I said math and science are more helpful is that if we look around, there are a lot of things that we can use math and science, but not history and literature.
History is about the work that was happened in the past, which is not that important for now and the future in my life. There are lots of things that we can use math and science.
It is good to know the history, but it is not going to help me to know something new because history is about past unless I am going to be a history teacher. However math and science, as long as we know them, we can use them, even though it is very simple, plus or minus, it is very simple, but useful. History doesn’t influence us that much.
If something is very helpful, and useful to know, I think that means it is more important than anything else for the education because unless it is interesting, and going to influence my life, it is not that important job to know, why would we learn something not even useful, if we are not going to use them.
In my opinion, if something is not helpful, it is not that important, history is important as culture, but not as normal people’s life. So with these reasons I think that it is not more important for students to study history and literature than studying math and science.
Essay ( summary)
In a company’s experiment, some new projects, some new projects were planed and accomplished by different teams. Some teams got very good results while some didn’t. it is not necessary for teams to achieve more than individuals do because some team members may only contribute a little in a team for they may relying on others to do the majority.
Another thing is the recognition for the achievement by the team is for the whole team, and everyone in the team. It is not only decision makers in the team feel good after successfully after finishing the project, but also every member in the team.
It is also showed in the lecture that in a team with one or to leaders, sometimes-good ideas from some team member are dropped and ignored while sometimes they may be highly creative. In some teams decisions were made without collecting ideas from all team members, them it would be hard to achieve creative solution.
For those failed projects, blames are always given to the whole team even though it is the leader or someone in the team who caught the unexpected results.
Essay
Topic: what are some important qualities of a good boss?
Many companies have trouble with their boss. To be, and show good qualities of a good boss, you got to be tough to yourself, but really nice to the workers, and make them to work very hard, and enjoy them to work, so they will have positive thoughts, so company will develop faster.
In my opinion, to be a good boss, you got to be very aggressive. The reason why you got to be aggressive is that you got to show the workers that you are interested in the work, if people see the boss tries hard, they are going to try harder because they can’t be playing if boss is working, they will fee embarrassed, so to make the workers work hard, and boss work too, I am very sure, people are going to like the boss, if he or she tries hard as them.
You have to think that workers are just like your family because you are not going to be able to work with unlikable people, I mean you can, but as you get close to the workers, you will feel fun, and workers will work hard because they know that the boss is thinking them as a special boss, so they won’t lie, and just work hard for the company.
He or she has to be very responsible, the boss is a leader, if you can’t lead, and have no responsibility, one day, you are going to failure, no worker is going to like boss because you are not even trying, you are telling people to work, and you don’t even have responsibility.
There are lots of ways to be a good leader, or boss. However I think that this is the best and the fastest way that you can show your worker that you are a good boss.
Essay
Some people think that they can be learn better by themselves than with teachers, but I disagree. Teachers can help you, and teach better. So let me explain why the teacher is better than learning myself.
Teachers give you the easiest, understandable teachings. In my experience, I could barely understand in math class with the books, some questions were not even on the examples, but on the questions (math), but teacher made himself, the question that is on the board, so we can understand, he tries to make everyone to understand, if the students don’t understand, he spent the time in the lunch, and after school, so we can understand.
What are you going to do if you don’t understand, you understand better because teachers teach you well. I think Internet does not help you for the school because you don’t know what is going to be on the test, sometimes, web site gives you wrong information. It makes you more complicated sometimes, especially, you are ESL students, you can’t really understand. So I think that you can’t really learn better by yourself than with a teacher.
What if you can understand everything? Well, I can’t really say you can actually learn better yourself than with a teacher. But most students can’t understand themselves; they have at least one question, especially in the math class. In my opinion, teachers give you the most quickest, widest way to teach. And it is very helpful.
There are teachers because they want to teach, and to help you to understand, but if you think you can learn better without teacher, that means you are really smart, or you are doing something wrong. Because I don’t want to get any trouble, teachers will teach me.
Essay
There are two kinds of neighbors mostly, one is really nice, and another one is really bad. To be good neighbors, there are certain things that you should do. Those are what I am going to explain in this essay.
To be a good neighbor, you got to be very quiet in anytime, you shouldn’t noisy anytime at all because they could be working at home if their jobs are teacher, or office is at their house. And whenever they do something enjoyable, they never want to get distracted by someone, so neighbors should be really quite to keep the distance of being nice, and people will know that you are nice.
You got to be very close together, people are not going to know whether you are nice or annoying till they see you. The reason why you got to be close, as you share the food, cloth, information, or having party together, go to the trip. They will notice your characteristic. People think you are nice, if you share, help. In my experience, my neighbor is nice. When we were gone to Cape Breton, it was winter, and windy, they shoveled the snow for us because when we come back, we are not going to be able to get into the house. I think this is one good quality.
To show the good quality, you got to act like a you are a nice person because even though they don’t meet you, they can’t kind of notice your characteristics if they see you act nicely or badly, so if you meet neighbors, you should always say “hi” very gladly, and happily, so they will think that you are nice.
Many people try to be nice neighbors, but some people can’t be even though they are nice because of some bad, wrong action for once, to be friendly, you should keep being good, and nice to neighbors.
Essay
I prefer to eat food at home with a few reasons. I don’t want to go to restaurants unless I really feel like to go, it is kind of wasting money. The restaurant food can be unhealthy, and lastly it is healthier to eat food at home than the restaurant.
Recently, the restaurants have been cheap. What I meant is that, to make the food delicious, they put unhealthy thing, or cook with dirty things. For example, people cook the fries with dirty oils. However, imagine the food at home. It is never dangerous, it is more healthier, and delicious. Unless you are rich, and desire to go to the restaurants, you shouldn’t be there because it can be more delicious, but the qualities of the food are not as good as food at home.
It seems that we are wasting money, if we go to the restaurant every day. For example, in some restaurant, the menu is such as only chickens, and the fries. It is wasting money; we can easily cook the fries. We can go get frozen chicken at the market, and cook. It looks like there are no differences, but one big thing is that the quality of food is way better than the food in restaurant.
Some restaurants are really good, but some restaurants are not, it can be way better to eat at home mostly. In my experience, unless you go to Chinese restaurant, most restaurants are almost same as home, same tastes, except we have to pay. So I prefer not to eat at restaurants.
If you really want to go to the restaurant, and prefer to eat at restaurants, I cannot say anything, but if you think of health, and anything else. It is better to eat at home. To conclude, it is healthier, delicious to eat food at home unless you are very bad at cooking (but there are recipes on web site, so you can easily cook).
