Nike Inc.-Abstruct

The topic of this paper is several problems that Nike Inc. has. Nike shoes and t-shirts included toxic chemicals. It argues that Nike Inc. should be admired. There are three reasons for this argument. First, Nike tries to save the environment. Next, the firm has an obligation to offer good-quality goods to people. Last, Nike is not afraid of risks.

CESL

CESL should change three things for current and future students. First, it should announce activities earlier to students. CESL tells students activities one week before an activity. Students already have some plans and they cannot go. If CESL tells about activities two weeks before, many people can join in fun activities. Next, CESL should reduce class hours. CESL in SIUC has too much class. Other ESL centers do not have that much. Some students have to get high grades because they are exchange students. Some students cannot go to other ESL centers. Because we have too much class, it is difficult for students to get high grades. Last, students do not need to buy textbooks and to take TOEFL. I have many friends who are going to other ESL centers. Some of them don’t buy textbooks. They use handouts that teachers give. Some do not take the TOEFL, either. They take a free test which teachers made. Only students who want to take TOEFL do that. Students spend a lot of money to study in CESL, and the cost of living in the U.S. is more expensive than some countries. For these reasons, CESL should improve these three things for students.

Homework and Doing Other Things at the Same Time

Do you do something else while doing your homework? I don’t recommend doing that because you can’t finish your homework faster. Yesterday, I had a lot of homework: reading 20 pages of a novel, reading five pages of a textbook, and studying for a test. However, I didn’t want to do that. I listened to music while reading a novel, and I can read slowly. I did not get the story through my head. Rock music is the worst to listen to while you are doing your assignment. Then, I turned on the TV. Six people were trying to get out of a sinking ship. I couldn’t read at all, and I turned off the TV. If you do your homework, you should not do other things.

YouTube

I watch many YouTube clips per day. My schedule is kind of hard. I am also finding a job on the Internet. I am studying for employment exams and writing resumes besides homework. Japanese junior and senior students do these for finding a job. This term is kind of hard for me. I use YouTube to reduce stress. My friends, both American and Japanese, like watching YouTube almost every day, so many young people must like it now. YouTube is fun and convenient because we can find various kinds of clips. For example, it has movies, video dramas, soccer games, fashion shows, CESL clips or more. I usually watch a few funny clips and laugh.

Facebook

Facebook changed my life in many ways. First, it is easy and fun. I found out about Facebook after I came to the U.S. Before, I used Mixi (from Wikipedia), which is like Facebook and which many people use in Japan. However, Mixi does not have as many functions. We can just send messages, write in a diary or join communities. We can do many things on Facebook, and it is easy for non-English speakers to use. Next, we can keep in touch with many people who live in faraway places. Many people go to CESL and graduate faster, so we can’t contact them without Facebook. For these reasons, Facebook is useful.
