Hi
I have My test tomorrow afternoon
Please give me ideas for these essays

topic#173: It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or damage the friendship. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer.

Borrowing money from a friend can harm the friendship. When we give money to our friend and if we need the money, we can't ask them.
It is easy to ask seriously for the money if they are someone who are not close to us. But we can't force our friends to take the money.
So there may be some unwanted uneasyness between the friends.
I can't think anymore ,,,,,,......

Topic#170: Groups or Organisations are an important part of some people's lives. Why are groups or organisations important to people? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
Living in Groups gives us the confidence to fight any problem. Suppose when a Factory workers have any organisation, they can discuss with the management about their problems very easily without any inhibitions. They need not fear to fight the management if it doesn't provide them adequate fecilities.
That's all I can think ,.,.,.,.,

Topic#162:Some famous athlets and entertainers Earn millions of dollars every year. Do you think these people deserve such high salaries? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
If I get this essay in my REAL test I am sure I will get 'O'

Topic#161: People remember special gifts or presents that they have received. Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Topic#140:Some items (such as clothes or furniture) can be made by hand or by machine. Which do you prefer- items made by hand or items made by machine? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.
Machine made items are cheap. In machine made items there will be many models to choose from. Hand made clothes are very limited in the variety of fabrics. Machine made clothes are available in many colors and many types of materials.

Topic#119: Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes influence the way pople bahave? Use specific examples to support your answer.
When we wear clothes which we like, we feel confident about our appearance and tend to bahave confidently. Nothing Else ?????

Please post your ideas
Madhavi

You wrote the first paragraph. Second: the lender sometimes refuses to lend the money (for milions of reasons: s/he doesn't have, does't trust, needs it). The borrower gets angry or disappointed. Third: milions of unexpected situations (money is sensitive theme): the lender wants more than s/he lent (like a bank), the borrower often borrows little sum of money, but gives it back only then is asked, the borrower forgot about 'the money' or wasted it.

2: you don't have to think how to solve the problem: they tell you! Or if you want to do something about poverty or disappearing rainforests you alone can do nothing (ps: it'sanother examplefor factory) 3: feeling that you arenot alone. Sport fan clubs, gay clubs, golf clubs, birdwatcher clubs.... Milions of them. And they all are totally different. But they unite similar people, which have similar education, jobs, hobbies etc. People feel better, because they aren't alone, they can express themselves better. Together they can do something great and amazing ('Love parade' in German).

Use your mind and you'll get 300
Anyway, some of them are worth, others not. Michal Jordon worth, because he is the best, but lots of NBC players are not: they are good, but they aren't the best. Well, athlets have very short time to earn money, because they get old and can't win anymore. So, if they are really good sportmen they should earn enough to live to his/her day of death. It should be about 1-2 milions. Entertainers are different. They can start their carreers at age of 5 years and end it at age of 85 years. They are worth those millions if they do everything by themselves: creates shows, songs, music etc. They are not worth if managers creats everything and our star just have to look good on the scene (Britney Spears ). Well, musicians is worth as much as many songs they sell (you cant change it). But what about actors? It's difficult, because often not a good actor creates a good movie, but a good plot creates a great movie (Matrix). I don't think, that if in Matrix there is no Keanu Reeves, this movie would be less exciting. So how much to pay? I think, it shouldn't be more than 1 million dolars. Of couse, they should pay additional fee for any kind of awards (Oscars).

Let me think about it.

Machine made items are cheap. In machine made items there will be many models to choose from. Hand made clothes are very limited in the variety of fabrics. Machine made clothes are available in many colors and many types of materials (I think and hand work can be any color you want).
Yes, but also you can ask to do a special thing for you (with hands), for example: very large size clothes, evening derss. Hand work is unique, warmer and cosier.

I'll post it in the evening, because it's time for me to go school. I hope, it won't be too late.

HTH

And again. Good luck. Best luck. Get an easy essay topic

I won't type you an essay, I'll type you some ideas.
People behave differently then they are in different situations (at work and among friends). Also they wear different clothes. I don't think, that CLOTHES are determinant how people behave, they just indicates in what situation people are. I mean, it doesnt work like this: clothes -> behavior, but it works like this:
situation -> behavior
hhhhhhh> clothes

I hope you got it.
Another example. Imagine you are among friends at a pub. You drink bear and have some fun. Now imagine you are dressed in a black suit (you look as a very respectful lawyer). Do you behave differently? I think no. You are in a pub, you are drunk (sorry, not you personally ), you are with your closiest friends. Who cares that you wear a black suit from Armani and they are dressed in jeans. They would care if you would behave yourself as a lawyer: no fun, no bear, only cold politness.

So, in my opinion, clothes just indicate the situation.
