Expressing an Opinion - 1 - revised

Using the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment brings a lot of different opinions. Despite the fact that the death penalty is cruel, I feel this punishment is necessary. I am on the same page as those who support the death penalty. For example, if we repeal the death penalty, the criminal rate may increase. Because they don’t worry that they will die and they can eat free meals in prison. In addition, using the death penalty can warn those who want to commit the crime. When they intend to kill person, maybe they are afraid of death and give up this plan. Most importantly, those murderers take people’s life and don’t have any regret. In contrast, we have rights to take their life to avoid them murdering more people. Taking into account all of these points, it should be clear that using the death penalty certainly exists.

Stanley Manufacturing opened a large factory in Action last month, and it had some positive effects for local people. For one thing, people who live there can get more jobs. The problem of unemployment would decrease. Additionally, the economy would be more prosperous. Therefore, the population becomes more and more. Eventually, the old and the child must not worry that the adult would leave hometown to find a job. They can gather every day. According to these effects, building a large factory in Action doesn’t necessarily cause negative effects.

I want to hire a new English instructor. Now, I receive two resumes from Lynn Whitnall and Debra Fines. After studying their resumes, I decide to hire Debra. First, Debra has more education than Lynn. Debra had studied in three universities, but Lynn had only one. Second, Debra has five different employments; however, Lynn has only three different employments. Third, Lynn can speak Spanish, French, and Japanese. Unlike Lynn, Debra can only speak French. Although Lynn can speak more languages than Debra, I put emphasis on English. Last, Debra published a book about English verb tense. On the other hand, Lynn received Excellence in Teaching Award, 2004. Though both of them are outstanding, Debra is suitable for my requirement. Therefore, I choose Debra.

I enjoy playing basketball and volleyball. When it comes to the PE class, I often play one of them. After thinking their common points, I found both basketball and volleyball need teamwork. Therefore, when I play one of them, I can promote the relationship with my friends. When playing basketball, people are divided into two groups. Similarly, when playing volleyball, people are divided into two groups. In addition, if I don’t warm up, it is easy for me to cause sports injury. Regardless of basketball or volleyball, playing both of them are beneficial to me.

Michael Williams opened a small music store on September. However, his business failed about three months later. After analyzing methods of management, I knew why it closed too quickly. First, the store’s location was remote; moreover, it was three miles away from a shopping center that had two large music stores. Second, most of the CDs in the store were hip-hop and rock. However, age of residents there were old. Thus, these CDs were not attracted to the residents. Third, the store was open Monday to Friday from one to five p.m. Nevertheless, few people past the store at that time. Eventually, Mr. Williams would not accept checks or credit cards. It is uncomfortable for some people to buy CDs. According to these reasons above, no wonder why Mr. Williams closed his store rapidly.

This area has a huge increase in population over the past one hundred and fifty years. According to the following reasons, we can know what causes of the population increase. First of all, we advanced in medicine and health care, so people’s life spans are longer and longer. Another reason we improve farming methods that produce more and better food. Thus, we don’t have to worry about hunger. Most importantly, there are fewer infant deaths and more people living longer. This reason results in birth rate is more than mortality. After I bring these reasons, we can know why the population of this area increases rapidly.
