I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these
phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall
down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to
have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood,
it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if
you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important
work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be
received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to
go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the
internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life.
Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a
button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show
that they are necessary in the new millennium.

B. They can do some important works
C. They can receive some important information
D. They can send some data and surf Internet
E. They can run bussines by staying in and out office

SchooI uniform is speciaI cIothes worn by aII students of a particuIar schooI. The uniform of a schooI
may differ from others. Why shouId schooIs use uniforms? BeIow are some reasons.
First of aII, Notre Dame's Department of SocioIogy produced a study in 1998 concerning schooI
uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on
“substance abuse, behavioraI probIems or attendancE.” It aIso cIaimed a negative effect on student
achievements for those students considered ‘pro-schooI'.
SecondIy, uniform heIps to create a strong sense schooI ethos and a sense of beIonging to a particuIar
community. As such it promotes discipIine and heIps to drive up academic
standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schooIs which are being reopened with a fresh
start after being cIassified as faiIing.
FinaIIy, uniform acts as a sociaI IeveIer, under which aII students are equaI in the eyes of the schooI
and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and worry endIessIy
about their appearance and the cIothes they shouId wear. PupiIs without expensive designer cIothes
and trainers may be singIed out as sociaI outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds.
For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying cIothes for
schooI wear. Considering the findings, schooIs shouId impIement the uniform as their identity. The
government shouId aIso pubIish some kind of ruIe which makes uniform compuIsory for schooIs.

desired. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Simmering: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-
fitting lid. Let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes.

20
 Resting Period: After simmering, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional
5-10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking evenly.

prevent the rice from clumping together.

The Importance of Having Breakfast

In a busy morning, people tend to skip their breakfast. Actually, there are many benefits of
having breakfast. Here are two reasons why it is important.

Having breakfast helps us feel more focused for the coming day. When we study at school and
didn't have breakfast before, we will more likely to not focus during the lesson. There's nothing
worse than being constantly aware that you are hungry and counting the minutes until
lunchtime. Having breakfast in the morning not only fuels us until lunchtime but actually gives
our brains the essential energy to function and focus better on tasks, so we can concentrate
more.

21
 Having breakfast will also control our appetite. If we don't eat breakfast, we are much more
Likely to end up snacking throughout the morning, which could pile up the unhealthy calories!
Stay away from overly-refined snacks with added sugar, so if you do feel like snacking, have
some slices of fruits.

The two reasons above, to help us feel more focused and to control our appetite are only some
of many reasons out there on why having breakfast is important. There are indeed many other
benefits of having breakfast.

Should Sex Education Be Taught in Middle Schools?

The debate over whether sex education should be taught in middle schools has strong arguments
on both sides. Proponents argue that sex education is crucial for informed decision-making,
better health outcomes, and fostering positive attitudes towards sexuality. They believe that
providing accurate information about bodies, reproductive health, and consent helps students
make responsible choices. Additionally, comprehensive sex education can lead to lower rates of
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies by promoting safe sex
practices. It also helps prevent sexual abuse by teaching consent and healthy relationship
dynamics.

On the other hand, opponents raise concerns about the appropriateness of sex education for
middle school students. They argue that discussing sexual topics at a young age might lead to
confusion and curiosity about sex before students are emotionally ready. Critics also worry that
sex education might encourage sexual activity among adolescents by reducing the perceived
risks and making sex seem more acceptable. Furthermore, some parents and communities feel
that sex education conflicts with their moral and cultural values and believe that such education
should be the responsibility of families, not schools.

Balancing these perspectives requires careful consideration of how sex education is delivered. It
is important to provide age-appropriate content that respects the diverse values and beliefs of
students and their families. Schools could consider offering opt-out provisions or tailored

22
 programs that address the concerns of parents while still ensuring that students receive essential
information for their health and well-being. Ultimately, the goal should be to equip young
people with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate adolescence safely and responsibly.
