Cars should be banned in the city

Thesis
|
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know,
cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
|
|
Arguments |
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to
most of the pollution in the world.Cars emit a deadly gas that causes
illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off asthma. Some of
these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them. Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander
everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them
to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers. Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the
city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your
homework, and especially talk to someone.

In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city
for the reasons listed.

Laptop as Students’ 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.
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.
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 brows 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.
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
Is Smoking Good for Us?
Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at
the fact. About 50 thousands people die every year in Britain as direct result
of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a
quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.
Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking.
If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die of lung
cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is
nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are
people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of
heart disease than non smokers.
Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to
develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non smoker
breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen
cigarettes.
Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because
they do make much money from smoking habit. Smoking however is not good for
every body else.

Thesis |
Paragraph 1 is the thesis of this analytical
exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal impact of the smoking
habit. Clearly the writer wants to say that smoking is not a good habit. |
|
Arguments |
Paragraph 2 and 3 are the detail arguments presented
in a reporting fact to support that smoking is not good even for smokers themselves.
Furthermore, people who do not smoke but they are in smoky area have the bad
effect too from the smoking habit |

This end paragraph actually is restating the thesis.
It is something like conclusive paragraph from the previous arguments. The
last paragraph of this example of analytical exposition points again that
smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. However smoking is
very good for Cigarette Companies |
Why is Learning English Important?
Language is the mean of communication. Mostly
groups of society have their own languages. Some of them appear the top global
languages. Most people in the world hear about English, Arabic, and Mandarin.
However English is the most global spoken language. Then if a man wants to
catch a global goal, he has to master English.
Everyone recognize that English is an
international language. English is used in writing and speaking by many people
all over the world. It can be either as a first or second language. We even
hear British, American, Australian, and even Singaporean English. Those various
names of English are used as the first language in those countries.
Furthermore, some countries have their own languages as a mother language but
also use English mostly in daily communication.
Besides usage in daily interaction, English
is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific and technical
knowledge. No wonder we find manual guides and instructions of many devices
written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we will see the
cooking instruction also written in English. This transfer of science and
technology will include many countries in economic, social and politics
development.
Finally, the most easily seen in the
importance of learning English is that most top requirement in filling job
opportunities is the ability using English; active or passive. Job applicants
who master English are more favorable than ones who do not.
The above facts prove that everybody needs to
learn English if he likes to greet the global era.
