PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON MY ESSAY!! The argument that the Presto Manufacturing Company should expand its production by building a new manufacturing plant in Summit City, omits several significant concerns that must be addressed to substabtiate the argument. Its conclusion is not based on thorough and logical reasoning but rather numerous assumption. The following essay will expose these flaws and demonstrate how the essay could be made more convincing. To begin with, the argument simply assumes that a last number of unemployed residents of Summit CIty will soon become employees of Presto Manufacturing Company if it decided to build a new manufacturing factory there. It is undeniable that perhaps some of these jobless residents will be interested in applying for a job position at Presto Manufacturing Company. However, there is no guarantee that all of the unemployed residents have a proper skill to be qualify for working with Presto Manufacturing Company. Thus, building the new plant there in order to attract proficient workers may not be a pragmatic idea. Second, the argument that Summit City is equipped with extensive blocks of land available for immediate purchase is weakened by the fact that these blocks of land would not be suitable for the Company's need. The company will risk wasting their money on the futile blocks of lands and may ultimately end up sell it back for the cheap price. Moreover, it is poosible that some of these blocks of land might have been purchased by other buyers and ultimately have only a few left. Lastly, the low property taxes of Summit City might not be beneficial for Presto Company since it can make their production less reliable and inproductive. On the whole, although the argument appears cogent at first glance, however, it leaves out numerous crucial issues, os it is not persuasive or sound. If it had included the items discussed above, the argement would have been more thorough and cogent.

PLEASE ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED THERE PLEASE RATE MY ESSAY [banana][banana][banana] #95 These days, some people hold the opinion that governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer space. While, others think that it is more essential for governments to spend their money for basic needs on Earth. In my perspective, I strongly believe that it is crucial for governments to spend their money on basic needs on Earth. My reasons to support this view are outlined as folllows. To begin with, from the undeniable fact that our world today is need to be saved from deforestation and air pollution caused by human beings. Many activities of human beings damage our ecological system in several aspects. it is evident that environment problems are deemed one of the serious problems that can affect to people's basic needs on Earth. To illustrate, the destruction of forests can cause severe inundation , the Green House Effect and other terrible incidents to our world in the future. Therefore, governments should spend their expenses to help nurture our environment by planting more trees and plants and protecting endangered animals. Second, it is unquestionable that poverty is the major problem of today's society around the world. The poor are devoid of places to live and food to consume. Some of these people sleep on the streets and many turn to drugs and other illegal conducts. This demonstrates the fact that governments should pay more attention to slove this problem before it is too late by spending money on housing for poor people or building shelters for them to sleep. Lastly, another reason for my belief is that drug addiction is one of the major concerns of today's people. From the fact that illegal drugs are the chronical problem all over the world and can prevent economic growth in several aspects as well. To illustrate, it must be a disaster if almost all of our subsequent generations turn to use drugs and also sell them. People who want to make easy money will turn to sell drugs and damage our society and also our posterity. both physicla and mettal health. Therefore, governments should spend their money on this current problem by investing money on building treatment centers for drugs addicts and so on. On the whole, if all the factors mentioned above are considered, we can reach the conclusion that basic needs on Earth, such as environments, poverty, drugs and so on, are all considered vital for mankind rather than experiences from outer space. Therefore, it is better for goverments to pay more attention and spend their money on basic neeeds on Earth.

[banana][dance][banana][dance] #50 Nowadays, some people like to do only what they already do well,while, others choose to try new things and take risks.Which one I prefer depends on my personal experience and lifestlye. In my perspective, I favor trying new things and take risks. My reasons to support this idea are outlined as follows. To begin with, new experiences are hard to find if we choose to do what we do best. We can explore to new lifestyle and meet new people by challeging ourselves with new activities and ideas. For instance, it must be an outstanding experience to travel around the world and meet people from different cultures. Nobody can find all this by sitting in the same places and doing the same things every day. Second, we can accidently find our hidden talents by trying new things. To illustrate this, we never know how well we can paint if we never pick up a brush to paint a picture or we will never reaslize that we love to play sports until we go out and kick some balls. Millions of people have different ideas and different gifts, thus, it is not a bad idea to start taking risks and trying new things. May be we will find what we really good at some days. Lastly, another reason for my belief is that it must be really tedious to doing the same things every day. We can spice up our lives a little by surprising ourselves with new experiences or new events. To illustrate, there must be the once in a life time experience for everybody, thus, each of us is willing to try something new. Some may love to ski, while, others prefer to swim. On the whole, if all the factored mentioned above are considered, we can reach the conclusion that we will never know what is best for us until we try it. Therefore, I believe that we should try new things and take risks in order to complete our lives with several of great experiences and activities.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RATE MY ESSAY!! #41 Nowdays, some people may hold the opinion that human needs for farmland, housing and industry are more important tha saving land for endangered animals, while, others think that saving land for endangered animals is more crucial than human needs for farmland, housing and industry. In my perspective, I believe that it is vital to save land for endangered animals. My reasons to support this view are outlined as follows. To begin with, deforestation is the most common problem for our world today. More than millions of trees are destroyed around the world in order to build factories and indutrial buildings. Thus, there are solely few forests left for endangered animals. It is essential for animals to live in forests that provide the optimal environment for them. Second, it is a common notion that trees and forests provide oxygen and lessen air pollution. To illustrate, if we keep our land to plant trees and to grow other plants, we not only save endangered animals but also better our ecological systems. Since trees create a process called “photosynthesis” that produces oxygen and prevents us from air pollution caused by automobiles and factories. Lastly, providng land for endangered animals also has other positive aspects. Forests and trees are only can improve our ecosystem but also can protect our world from other terrible problems in the future such as severe inundation and greenhouse effect. On the whole, if all the factors mentioned above are considered, we can reach the conclusion that saving our land for endangers animals can nurture our lives in various ways. One of those is lessening air pollution.

Everybody is looking for pleasant co-workers to work with. What actually are some crucial characteristics of a co-worker? In my perspective, I believe that open-mindedness, honesty and responsibility are the vital characteristics of a co-worker. My reasons to support this view are outlined as follows. To begin with, open-mindedness is one of the important qualities of a co-worker. To illustrate, a co-worker who is open-minded will listen to others’ opinion and easy to talk to. It is more pleasant to share our thought with somebody who is a good listener and very flexible. On the contrary, it must be annoying to work with a fastidious co-worker and end up never get our jobs done. Second, honesty is also one of the significant characteristics that a co-worker should have. It is a common notion that every supervisors strive for an honest worker. Nobody wants to work with or hire a worker who steal, cheat and lie. Moreover, we can see that almost every industry honors a worker who is loyal and honest to his or her firm by giving him or her prize or money as an award. Lastly, aside from cooperativeness, a co-worker should be responsible. Imagine a co-worker who never completes his work or never does his job right or is very sloppy. It must be very disturbing to work close to this kind of person. On the other hand, a responsible co-worker will finish his work he ordered to do on time. On the whole, if all the factors mentioned above are considered, we can reach the conclusion that there are hundreds of good characteristics of a co-worker. However, the crucial qualities of a co-worker are open-mindedness, honesty and responsibility.
