CESL can be better

CESL provides opportunity for international students to improve their English and CESL has experience in this area. However, it also has something that can be better. In my opinion, CESL should change the social activities’ style. I have been here for nearly four months; I noticed that almost every CESL activity is only joined by CESL student; that does not mean CESL did not invite others, but CESL just focused on their own students, so it was hard for others to join in. Therefore, CESL should invite some Americans. In this way, students could learn what a real American life style is; also, they can improve their English fast. Moreover, CESL is supposed to open some classes that teach students how to adapt to American life and what the style of American life is. Also, it could have some classes which teach other countries’ cultures; international students would be teachers at this time. They could teach their classmates their counties’ living style and culture. In this way, students could get lots of knowledge, not only of one country but also of several countries in the world.

Starbucks' Greenwashing

Abstract

This paper’s argument is that Starbucks’ beans are not so green. It argues that Starbucks is not really going green because it has some problems of quality. There are four reasons for this argument. The first is that Starbucks is not doing enough compared to what they claim, and the second is that the ingredients of Starbucks coffees do not conform to the OCA’s (the Organic Consumers Association) standard. The third reason is that the milk of Starbucks coffee has problems. Finally, the Starbucks’ workers’ income is illegally low.

In my opinion, it is not easy to do homework when I am doing other things at the same time. Because it is hard to pay attention to several things, just focus on only one thing is the most efficient way. When I was watching YouTube, it was hard for me to do my homework quickly, because the scene distracted my attention from study. I was trying to study but it did not work. It is also difficult to do homework when I am chatting with others. I pay more attention to the person who I talked with so that I cannot focus on the homework. I just think about what I should say and what we are talking about. My brain has no space to think about the homework. Therefore, it always takes me a long time to do my homework when I am chatting or watching YouTube.

Food

In my opinion, the most interesting place to buy food is at the cinema, I like that feeling the best. I can buying two tickets with my boyfriend and waiting for the film I am going to watch what kind of mood I would have at that time? It would be great. And then, we could go buy some food to eat, such as popcorn, coke and candies, etc. That would be so sweet and interesting. Watching an attractive film, sitting beside my boyfriend and eating good tasting food; in this situation, anyone could become the most happy person in the world. Therefore, I think it is very interesting to buy food in a cinema, not only for eating but also the romantic atmosphere would be prevail ant out in the cinema.

The ideal cell phone

In my opinion, the perfect cell phone should have several satisfactory functions. First, it can be used instead of every digital product, such as camera, pc, music player, TV, PSP, USB, etc; of course that includes the function of calling. You can do anything you want to do. It would be the most efficient thing for people in their daily life. Second, people should be reminded about the fees and time when they are getting through to others. It also has a record of each call every single time and tells you how much money you left in your account. In this way, people can live in a schematic life. Finally, the most attractive function is the intelligent chat. That means the cell phone can talk with you like a close friend when you have a bad or good mood. It can share the life experience with you, and also record your growing.
