Topic proposal

Early teaching of foreign language.

I disagree with the idea that kids start to learn foreign language earlier. Recently, Japanese board of education decided to advance the year to teach English. Before the decision, students in Japan start to learn English from junior high school. The announcement said students start from elementary school first~second grade of 6 grades. Some people agree with this decision. They claim Japanese people are poor at using English. Thus, students must begin to learn English earlier. On the other hand, some people disagree with the decision. They assert it is too early. Students haven't mastered their own language, Japanese, yet. The decision will have bad influences on both Japanese and English education.
Through this writing, I'd like to learn the best age to study foreign language. In addition, to compare other country with Japan, I'd like to learn good points and bad points that Japanese education of foreign language has.

Topic proposal

First Impression of A Person Is Important?

Here is a general controversy and contention nowadays on this topic whether people should trust their first impression of a person or not? I had to say this problem sure is a dilemma. To some degrees, a deluge of people who hold the viewpoint that these judgments based on the first impression are, for the most part, right. However, about the same problem, other people believe that we need more time to find out a person instead of just make decision through the first glance, because that is unfair to the person who are not very good at give a good impression at the first time.

As far as I am concern, to judge a person need more time and the first impressions are usually undependable. And, I will find more information through my later on research to support my argument.

Well, about the research, I never done thing like this, so, I really interested in this research, I am looking forward to do this research and hopefully I can learn some useful tips for my future study. Also, I hope I can find more information to support my idea and show people who consider the first impressions are very important to a person, I want to let them know the first impressions are usually undependable!

topics about argument

Nowadays,with the development of scciety,many parents prefer to sending their children to study abroad. Then my topic is whether it is good for children to study abroad. I choose this topic because I want to know the benefits and drawbacks for children to study abroad and whether it is necessary for children to leave without their parents. By choosing this topic,I also want to get some advice for studying abroad.
From my point of view,I really think that children should be sent to study abroad for they can becoming more and more dependent. Other that,I also consider that children who study abroad can get in touch with the modernest knowledge in the world.
In my paper,I want to use some statistics to explain my opinions.

Argument for drink-driving

Nowadays, the Chinese government deicide to take the strict law to punish the people who drive cars after drinking and enforce the sternet law that no one can dare to touch, some drivers think that it is too strict to do it, but many citizens consider it is pretty good strategy to punish those drink-driving people. In order to protect all lives, whether he or she is driver or foot passenger, thus the government promulgate the relative law to against those who break the law.

Plastic Surgery is dangerous

A huge amount of people in the modern society does plastic surgery to make themselves perfect. Certainly, after doing plastic surgery, people will be attractive and cover flaws as well. Nevertheless, it will cause several ghastly effects after the plastic surgery. One of the most important is that they will suffer patient for a long time to restore, and also, they should protect themselves and keep pretty though others ways, such as drugs and operation. Moreover, it still exist risk. People should tolerate failure of surgery after they paid a great deal of money. The health regulator in Washington in April 6 estimated that up to 93 percent of silicone breast implants ruptures within ten years. How terrible the statistic is! It is only a small part of statistic about failure of plastic surgery. Consequently, it is worthless to do plastic surgery in order to make body a little better.

The influence of Video games and Teachnology on Americas Youth

The topic that i chose for my research is the influence of video games and technology on America's youth. I chose this topic because I want to find out whether technology and video games are helping or hurting the youth of America. I also think it will be interesting to finally find out what side makes more sense since I've heard people say that technology and video games are making the American youth lazy while others say that they are making the youth more intelligent

In my research paper, my audience are going to be my fellow youth, video game makers, parents who usually get technological items and video games for their children and also the advertisers who always have an inpact on whether these things are good or bad.
