If one can make decision quickly, and what is more, if he can guarantee his decision is right, then he will gain much. While, if one is irresolute, he will sooner or later pay for his irresolution. Essay 613 Topic 121 Are first impressions trustworthy? It is said that the first impression is the best impression. But this is not always true. A person cannot be judged in an instant. First impressions can be misleading. However in some instances we have to base our opinion on the first impression. We are very much influenced by the first impression of a person. Often it leaves a lasting impression on our minds. This is especially true of interviews. The interviewer is influenced by the attitude, appearance etc of the candidate. Within a short span of one hour the candidate`s fate is determined. In other words if he manages to give a good impression he gets the job. But can a person`s character be judged accurately so swiftly. It is very easy to give a wrong impression. During a social gathering if a well-dressed man were to arrive, he would be escorted to a seat because from his appearance, people have got the impression that he is an eminent person of the society. But an ill clad man would be ignored. Perhaps it is the latter who is the better of the two. Perhaps his honesty earned him only poverty. Appearances are often deceptive. Many things in life which appear beautiful on the surface may be rotten inside. Drugs and alcohol are the classical examples. Just like a red and rosy apple that appears mouth watering but turns out to be rotten inside, drugs provide only momentary pleasure and ruin us in the end. As a poet once said; `I have seen kindness done by men with ugly faces And flowers in stony places things are not as they appear. I remember an acquaintance of mine. She had the reputation of being very short tempered and selfish. But when I was in need she was the only one who turned up to help me. It was only when I came to know her better that I realized what a wonderful person she was. So I would like to conclude by saying that all that glitters is not gold. The ugly stone when well polished may turn out to be a diamond. So we must not mistake the diamond for a stone and throw it away. Especially while looking for a friend, we must not count on first impressions alone. Essay 614 Topic 121 Are first impressions trustworthy? First impressions are very important because they weigh a lot in most people`s judgments. Sometimes if a person shows bad first impression, he or she may fail to get a date, a job or a university admission. I will not, though, judge a person`s character so quickly for several reasons. First reason is that people`s behaviors and appearance change. When you see a person in For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org different situation, you will get a different impression of him or her. For example, you may see your serious boss drinking and singing in a bar. If you first met your boss in that bar, you would have thought that he was not a boss that can handle a large company. And if you met him or her at the office the other day, you would have thought you just met a different person. Another reason is that though some people can adjust their roles and appearance in different situation smoothly, others cannot. Some people are shy so they become nervous when you first meet them, and then they may look like they are arrogant. When I first met my friend Judy, I thought she is inhospitable. She did not smile and just said several words when we were talking. But when I knew her longer, I knew that she was really a person who liked to help the others. And she was just shy and did not know how to talk with a stranger. Furthermore, since many people believe in the first impression, some people will use it for cheating. There are some cases reported by newspapers that some defrauders act and appear like decent people to defraud other people of money. Another example is that there is some training for interview. If a person pay to have interview training, he may get a higher interview score but, in fact, that person is no different. However, First impression is very important for us since many people judge people this way. So you have to pay attention to your first impression to others especially in some important situation. But if it is we to judge other people, I believe that to judge others gradually is a right way. Essay 615 Topic 121 Are first impressions trustworthy? Human nature is a complex thing. Therefore it is impossible to state that one way to judge person`s character is better than the other. Everyone should their best way. I have experienced that both approaches are right sometimes. First impression about other person is based on many hidden intrinsic psychological factors and past experiences, that we are not even conscious of. The experience with other people has settled into our minds and it is sometimes causing a right decision. Latter analysis may even lead us to the wrong direction. On the other hand, most of the people know about the importance of the first impression and they are trying to act accordingly. First impression may even be lead by many unimportant details like clothing, perfume etc. Therefore quick judgment may be unrealistic and fake. It is always good to spend more time with the person before the decision, because it is very hard to fake for a long time. I have been led by wrong first impression, because the person looked untreatable. After I got to know him better he turned out to be a decent man and he is one of my best friends now. For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org I have also tried to ignore my negative first impression about a coworker and tried to believe in him. Although my belief even changed him to be better, we had to fire him finally. My conclusion is that there is no one right way to judge person`s character, that skill is personal and must come with experience. Essay 616 Topic 122 Unlimited Desires Desires are one of the natural habits of man. Desires developed in one's heart are endless. It is from the beginning of the human race that human wants are unlimited. Therefore, I do agree that satisfaction of people is never complete and they always want something new and different. People's needs are never satisfied because they want every kind of comforts in their life, if one of their needs are satisfied, the other arouses, want to have different lifestyles which results in endless desires. In the boundaries of desires, the first and the foremost thing is to have comfort in what the people possess. They need every kind of comforts and materials provided to them in their homes, at offices, in cars, etc. For example, when a person intends to buy a house, he first looks for a comfortable house that is suitable according to his desires. When he finally buys it, he then looks for quality furniture, air conditioners, other equipments, etc which will be suitable according to his will. Similarly, when he buys a car, he also desires to have an air conditioner in the car, good seats in the car, and also in the offices, and many other areas of a person's comforts and desires. Human wants are unlimited. When a person tries to satisfy one of his needs, the other arouses. This satisfaction of human needs are a continuous cycle of life and is unstoppable. For example, when he goes out for shopping, he prepares in mind to only have basic needs which are important to him. But as he enters the market area, his desires arouses to buy dress but along with dress he also intends to buy a wrist watch. And again, when he passes by a scent shop, he again wills to buy a good perfume and next to it when he peers at a shoe shop, his desires again arouses him to buy quality shoes. One needs satisfied leds him to arouse another wants. Therefore, when he tries to satisfy with one thing other needs arouses. Many people in today's world, adopt a new lifestyle. Change in lifestyle also results in increasing one's demand for other goods of life. For example, when a person tries different kind of things in his life, he suddenly feels to have a quality and different look on his personality. New and expensive dress wore led him to feel like a gentleman when he passes down the streets, or he feels like a model among the other people. In conclusion, unlimited wants and needs of people cause them never to end their satisfaction over their needs. One needs satisfied automatically increases in the other form, thus increasing the human wants. People are never satisfied with what they have, because these desires are in their nature, and they always want something more or something different. Essay 617 Topic 122 should one be satisfied or not Should people be satisfied with what they have or should they always want something For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org more or different? It is difficult to determine which point of view is better, because of the different comprehension of life. However, although it seems to be a little ambitious, I believe that most people are not satisfied with the present but to pursue a better and varied life. The most significant reason to support my statement is that nowadays our society are full of competition, if we are satisfied with ourselves and do not want any developments, we will soon be thrown out of the tide of the society, just as the old saying says that not to improve means to degrade. Since the industrial revolution broke out at 1800's, our world has changed more and more rapidly. Everyday we can find something new and better. Therefore, in order to keep ourselves up to the pace of the world or even lead the development in some special fields, we have no choice but to constantly renew our knowledge and views to create something newer and better. In addition to the pressure of survival, it may also be noted that not to be satisfied forever is the main motivation to stimulate people to earn a better life. Only when one has some definite goals in his mind will he be active and energetic to his life. We all have the similar experience that it is the most significant time when we bring one of our dreams to reality and gain some achievements. At that time, our pleasure is beyond the description. So we can say that only when we always want something more or something different will we have new aims and enjoy the rejoicing of succeed. To sum up, in order to adjust ourselves to the changeable world and make a better life, we will never satisfied with what we have but pursure more and different things. Remember, to develop ourselves constantly and renew our goals in different life stages is the most important thing for us to enjoy our life.

Essay 619 Topic 123 Non-ficitons vs. fictions Reading is one of the most exciting inventions ever created by the human civilization. Books could be used as an important resource of gaining people`s knowledge, receiving information or just for entertaining purposes and having fun. I completely disagree with the following statement above since different people could choose to read different books and magazines of various genres. Millions of readers around the world prefer to read fantasy books. These books have fake stories but they sometimes reflect real events and real history facts. For example, the world-renowned trilogy The Lord of The Rings has its many millions of fans around the globe, continuing to attract more and more readers because of its unique story line. This trilogy, created and written by the genius author, JRR Tolkien, has a fantasy world named Middle Earth, in which fantastic characters fight against an ominous emperor of the darkness for peace and love. Many people think that this marvelous story reflects the real history facts occurred during the World War II. They believe that the trilogy`s heroes might be recognized as aligned forces from Great Britain and USA and Hitler and his nazi forces as Sauron and dark battalions with the Orcs and Trolls together. In my opinion, this tremendous story has become an invaluable and classic example of representing the real life events and facts. Finally, I would like to say that people should read not only about real facts and events but also enjoy reading fantastic stories written by many terrific authors, in which fiction could be understood and interpreted in the way that real events and facts happened throughout the history.

Essay 622 Topic 123 True stories Reading different kinds of books are one of the favorite hobby of the people. Many people read books and different kind of stories in their leisure time. However, some people believe that only those books should be read that are about real events, real stories, on established facts, etc. I do agree with the statement that only these books should be read which are on true incidents and well established facts because, it teach us how to cope up with such situations when it occurs, what lessons do they infer while reading real events happened around the world. When reading such books which are based on true stories, one feels that if such situations occurs to him how would he handle it or what steps will he take when tackling difficult and puzzled circumstances. Often real events mentioned in the books tries to motivate us how such people bore hardships to gain success or how they faced difficulties in solving their problems and even such events where people find themselves in such a dilemma where it took a lot of time to handle it in a normal way. Real events occurred with real people give us a lesson what measures they took when encountering difficult problems in life. Every story has a lesson because some stories are not only based on true incidents but also give us lessons that what purpose or idea was behind these stories. It also helps us in approaching better ideas when we are For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org trapped or facing same situations in our life. Therefore, books that contains true stories also helps us to gain better ideas and lessons. In conclusion, people should read only those books that are about real events of real people with established facts because these facts shows us the true meaning of life, could gain more knowledge about real events happening in the world, could learn different kinds of lessons these real stories provides us with. Therefore, I do agree with the statement that only those books should be read that contains about real incidents of real people with established facts. Essay 623 Topic 123 books Reality is one of the most important facts for us to survival in this real world, but not the only one which influences our life. We also should have some romantic dreams, idealistic imagination and perfect prospects to give us spiritual enjoyment. Similarly, in my point of view, there should not only have those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts in literary world, but also should have mysterious myths, romantic novels and scientific fictions. If we say that realistic literature give us some essential knowledge to survival in the true society, idealistic literature thus play another important role in our life. It is the main source of pleasure for us to forget our vexation and encourage our wishes. Most of us have some similar experiences that when we are in some troubles, we will feel better after reading the books about the superman who can easily solve all difficult problems in the real life, because these books send us to the idealistic world in which we become superman or superwoman and all troubles disappear in a moment. Though we have to face those difficulties after all, we can relax ourselves and refresh our mind to think out feasible resolutions after reading idealistic books. Besides, there is another significant reason to support my statement mentioned in the first paragraph, that is, if we only read those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts, our thoughts will be limited and we will become less creative. Newton did not only accept the truth that apples always fall towards the ground and do not fly in the sky, but to research for the reason of this phenomenon which had been considered as a common sense at that time, and then he built up the famous theory of gravitational attraction. It is a convincing example to demonstrate the importance of creation, and from it we can draw a conclusion that we should not always accept the established facts in books. In order to keep our mind active and widen our thought, we should also read those books based on hypotheses such as scientific fictions. In a word, although we learn much useful knowledge and gain many essential information from realistic literature, people also need idealistic literature, for reality and ideal are equally necessary for people to earn a perfect life. Essay 624 Topic 124 Social science vs. natural science Some people advocate that students should spend much more time on history and literature than on science and mathematics. They may have their seemingly reasonable arguments, but unfortunately, I disagree with them. First, have a look at your surroundings, have your caught a sight of computers, cars or For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org TV sets? When you are working, do you think computers are quite convenient and do a lot of good to you? When you are tired, do you want to watch TV? Without your car, can you work home as freely as before? But remember, without science and technology improving, all these things are absolutely unavailable to you. You must walk home no matter it is how far from your working place. You can of course recite poems when walking, but can you avoid tired? Second, it is announced that we will soon develop a new kind of computer which is hundreds of thousands times faster than what we currently have, are you looking forward to it? But if all students learn so less science and math on campus and all turned up to be poets or writers, who can you expect to develop such technology in the future? Third, to learn science and math at school will improve you brain, turning it to be a more smart and intelligent one. Scientific and mathematic knowledge is logical and full of intelligent thoughts. It can greatly sharp your eyes. For example, when you look at sky, what you can see are merely a lot of stars, irregularly dispersed there. But if you have some knowledge of astronomy, you will be able to tell out which one is a star or a planet, and why some star looks yellow-white while some others looks red-white or blue-white. In this way the sky is an interesting place full of wonders instead of merely a cluster of stars. Of course, I do not say this so that we can skip learning history and literature. The latter two are of important to us too even when we want to be scientists or engineers, no to mention if we want to be poets or writers. They can fill us with historical and literal knowledge, which can help to sharp our personality. I think it is proper to point out that as science students, we should definitely learn more science and math knowledge than history and literature. Essay 625 Topic 124 Social science vs. natural science There is much controversy about the importance of every subject. Some people claim history and literature are much more important for students than science and mathematics. Others have an entirely contrast idea. I am of the view that all subjects are necessary and useful. Unarguably, history and literature are essential for students. The former tells the young about his ancestor`s life, significantly historical events of his own country as well as of the entire world, etc. . Knowledge about the past not only helps students understand the process of human history but also inspires them love for their country. The latter, literature, train students` behaviors and give them positive outlooks. To take more specific example, when we read a book about a very poor man overcoming many challenges to achieve success, we will, consciously or unconsciously, have a deep belief that we are able to do like that. For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org However, it`s unfair to say that these subjects play a bigger part in school. While history and literature train our feelings and behaviors, science and mathematics seem to be more practical. As can be seen, we use basic knowledge of mathematics, including plus, multiply, divide in daily life. So a student with poor knowledge of mathematics will face up to many problems. Furthermore, if science and math are not paid attention to at school, how can we train scientists for the future? Imagine how the world would be if there was no scientist, meaning no inventions, no modern machines, no treatments for fatal diseases, etc . In other words, the world`s development depends on the development of scientific subjects, which`s why they must be taught and studied seriously at school. Put in a nutshell, every subject has particular importance. Do not waste time arguing which is more vital, let us pay attention to all and specialize on your favorite. Essay 626 Topic 124 Social science vs. natural science The importance of playing games for adults has always been underestimated over the past years. However as newer studies are being undertaken in the field of human behavior, the value and significance of play in an adult human being`s life is gaining vast importance. From time immemorial, play has been a significant means of communication among children as a role model to the complex inter-personal communications among adults. The effectiveness of play to bring about bonding among other children/adults has been highlighted by scientists and sociologists all over the world. In addition to the benefits of play on the physical systems of humans such as toning of the various organ systems to their optimum levels of functioning, the effects on the mental health of the individual are seen to have a greater bearing. Furthermore, since man is more of a social animal, play tactics are often found to further enhance the individual`s sense of self-esteem among the society he lives in. His functioning as a productive member of the community is further enhanced, and this also is seen to have an inhibitory effect on the negative aspects of one`s personality. This holds good even in the face of the highly stressful lifestyles of today`s people. Truly, one cannot but agree whole-heartedly with the old grandmother`s saying " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. " Indeed, play for children and an adult alike ensures a healthier, happier society Essay 627 Topic 124 Social science vs. natural science Does history and literature be more important for students versus science and mathematics? In my opinion, the two firsts go over because history give us the direction of the humanity and ours, lights the human instinct and literature disclose us some For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org different and possible ways for our mind. Science and mathematics are only means to progress in this unlimited world. History shows the stream where we are in. For instance, the stops, the shortcuts, the acceleration tends to bring us to think more about our destination. At a lower level, for each of us, the knowledge of our roots would support us to conserve our soul and gain some proud ness. The American blacks used to maintain against the slavery because they have been free. Furthermore, it displays the capability for human being and other species to tackle the problems. Thus students can improve their comprehension in acknowledging some typical behavior, which may be redundant. The understanding of wars rising would be utile to apprehend and avoid identical effects. The only way to think about our condition is to know some others. Literature has this role to open our mind, which will become free to escape from the reality without any harm. That is why, all the dictatorial governments are afraid of the books. In conclusion, we see that history and literature have the power to change us whereas sciences and mathematics can let us in mental and behavioral poverty. Essay 628 Topic 124 Social science vs. natural science The dispute between humanistic and scientific studies has been taken place for centuries. Both are vital for the humanity. Without either one, the humanity is impossible to conceive it. A balance between these two branches of human spirituality is always required. However, from my point of view, without neglecting the study of literature and history, I would suggest to consider more time in studies of math and scientific disciplines like physics, chemistry and biology. First, we use the math and science daily. We need them in our quotidian business to take the most adequate decision. When we buy something from stores we need to know math to calculate our expenses. In addition, we need to have general knowledge in science to evaluate the quality of products. More than that, the most important innovations are owed to science. We cannot cogitate about them, without realize the preeminent contribution of science. Indeed, the television and radio channels, the Internet, the movie theatres, the cars, trains and airplanes, and many other discoveries are impossible to conceive without the major science thoughtfulness. On the other hand, the innumerable number of applications that sciences offer to us creates for many of us a large job market. Indeed, an important number of people work in jobs that require a strong background in math and science. For instance, we cannot work as programmers without knowledge of math. We cannot work in telecommunications . www.tailieuduhoc.org However, it`s unfair to say that these subjects play a bigger part in school.
