Many times I dreamed of studying at MSU.
In my mind the Spartans have been always with me.

However my heart begins to get empty these days.

And I do as my mother says.
Never I eould feel lonely while living in Michigan, I say to myself.
Can you read first letter of each sentence??

7. How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
I think that the mass media has a bad effect on people. Some said that the television is “foolish box.” I agree with this statement. If people have access to mass media, they will change and they will become confused between reality and unreality.
People can influence their behavior or character by following mass media. For example, in TV drama, there are sometimes violent scenes and extreme scenes. If people watch those scenes, they think that violence is easy and is not difficult. Then, they can decide to commit crime easily and as a result, the crime rate in the society will rise.
Next, the mass media stimulates people’s propensity to consume. Because, people put an ad. their products in the mass media mainly. In the drama, actors wear expensive clothes. Then people want to buy those products and so they become popular. For example, nowadays NIKE shoes are popular, because of Michel Jordan. He always wears NIKE shoes. Those shoes are very expensive. Some people earn the money to buy those shoes.
In addition, people’s values will be changed by the mass media. In the mass media, I think it is interesting, that they change many things. For example, a murderer becomes a good person in drama. Especially if children who have not decide their values, some children will think that a murderer is a good person, so they will confuse what is bad.
As a result, the mass media gives many bad ideas to people for these reasons. I think that whenever people watch the mass media, they must remember their values.

I want to build public gym. In my hometown, there are no public gyms. I think that if there is public gym in my hometown, I can change my emotions also, I can become close to my family and my friends, and children can learn many things.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When I was growing up, I felt that my parents were the best teachers. Parents know about their children well. Parents love their children; they try to show the right image. Also, parents spend their time with their children, so parents can point out their children’s mistakes. Therefore, I agree with this statement.
First, I think, parents know their children well. Especially, parents can find their child’s character easily. Character is an important thing to children. When children are young, parents have to find weak point in their character. For example, my friend’s parents are working, so her sitter raised her up. My friend is shy, so she avoid speaking in public. If her parents raised her up, they could have found her weakness, and her character would been changed.
Next, parents live their children extremely. They want to show their good things, so they will act carefully, at least in front of their children. Children can grow to see their parents’ good things. For example, my parents hate lying. As a child, I learned that ‘Lying is bad.’ Also my parents almost never lied, do I don’t like lying.
Lastly, when children were young, children’s mistakes were small. At that time, children have to change their mistakes. If they don’t change their mistakes, it will be a bad habit. Also, children can repeat bad things. At that time someone has to point it out. That role is suitable to parents.
In conclusion, parents spend much more time with their children and they love their children. It is an important reason why I agree with that statement.

People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, and increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
There are many reasons for attending college. I think that the important reasons are to be acknowledged by people, to increase knowledge and to prepare for a good job.
A long time ago, college students did not have important positions, so in that period, academic organization were not important. For example, T. Edison who was an inventor only graduated from high school. However, now he is a very famous inventor. He was a genius. At that time, most people did not pay attention to academic organization, so people could acknowledge his inventions without academic organization. However, nowadays, most people’s minds are changing. To graduate from college is important.
In college, I am learning many things. In college, there are a lot of information. In addition, I learn details about many scholarships. Through these scholarships I can find my hidden talents. In my case, when I was attending college, I attended many kinds of lectures. I knew about lectures that I was interested in. I felt that my knowledge was increasing.
Next, in college, I prepared for getting a job. When I select a job, I act with prudence. In college, I got information about jobs and I will get a professional job, because I have a major. In my major, I can learn detailed things.
In conclusion, I explained why people attend colleges, and I think that people have various reasons for attending colleges. If you want to attend colleges, I recommend to it strongly.
