5 sentences about a diagram

This is a bar chart combined with a graph, which tells you about the top 10 servers. The number of connections per servers are indicated on the vertical axis and the cities are indicated on the horizontal axes. The city with the most connections per server is Rio de Janeiro and the city with the least connections per server in the top ten is Natal. The graph decreases from left to right, because the top ten is arranged that way. Remarkable is the crash from the number of connections per server between the third city Brasilia and the fourth city Belo Horizonte.

opinion essay

Nowadays there are lots of different ways for people to stay informed. You see news on television, you hear it in the radio or you can read it in the newspapers or in the internet. It is almost impossible to escape any kind of news, but is it really important that people stay informed?
I see this issue two-sided. On the one hand I do think it is important to stay informed, but on the other hand I think some people exaggerate too much.
I start with the importance of staying informed for oneself. If you are a person who is interested in sports, gossip, the happenings in the world etc. then you are able to get information about this aspects quickly by consuming news. Furthermore lots of people like reading the newspapers while they are having their breakfast, or they like listening to the news on the radio on their way to their work station. So news can be a hobby too for those people.
Another aspect, why staying informed is important, is society. It is very important to have certain knowledge about important changes in the world or fashion trends. Being informed means that you have some topics to talk about and so you appear smartly. People talk much about information which they gained from news and if you’re informed, you can easily join a conversation and find friends.
The last aspect, which shows the importance of being informed, is the importance of general education. It is part of general education to know what is going on in the world. I think the political news is the most important part of news, because we live in a democratic state. Everybody should be informed about politicians, political parties and political changes, because of the elections. Everybody has the right to vote and if most people don’t know anything about politics, it could be that a party, which is not good for the state, gets too much influence in the legislature. You should also know something about laws and their changes, because you should know how to behave in your own state.
To conclude, in my opinion it is important to stay informed, but you don’t need to know every detail of what is happening in the world. Even if you miss important information, it is not that bad, because you will hear it anywhere you go, from other people or in the television by channel-surfing. So, I think it’s enough to know the news which are important for yourself and directly influence your daily business.

„Struggle for Beauty“

Nowadays the topic „Struggle for Beauty“ is widely discussed. The idea of the perfect beauty idol is not 100 percent human anymore, e.g. the unhealthy-looking skinny models. Nevertheless, there are positive and negative aspects to “The Struggle for Beauty” which I’m going to discuss now and additionally tell you my attitude to this topic.
First I’ll start with the positive aspects of keeping one’s beauty. There are a lot of different possibilities to look more attractive. An important point is fashion. Your looks depend on what clothes, accessories and jewellery you wear, so it’s very important to be always dressed fashionably to look good. That’s not all; you also have to keep your body in form. It’s important to do a lot of sport, live on healthy food and to go on a healthy diet. Another aspect is hygiene. If you look well-groomed, you look more beautiful. That includes shaving, taking showers regularly, washing the face etc. The last positive aspect which I can think of is the use of make up, but don’t make your face up too colourfully.
Now I’m going to list up some negative aspects. I think the most important issue here is plastic surgery. I think it’s only okay when you’re disfigured, e.g. by an accident. Otherwise I think to have a plastic surgery only to look better is stupid, because it’s an operation. It’s very expensive, you get hurt and you may get disfigured. Another very important aspect is the unhealthy diet of mainly female teenagers. Lots of fat people just stop eating and think it’s the right decision to get more slender, but they forget, that this is very unhealthy. Lots of people suffer from anorexia or bulimia, because of the distorted ideal of beauty. So, I think that you should never overdo anything, because that turns even a positive aspect into a negative one.
Finally I come to my own attitude to this topic. I think the positive aspects would be easily to realize for everyone and I also think it is necessary to fulfil these aspects like hygiene, fashion etc, but do not exaggerate. In my opinion nature is the best artist in creating beauty, so I’m against plastic surgery. Above all it’s very important to love yourself the way you are and to be self-confident, because you’ll never reach perfection. Your character plus how you present yourself influences your effect on other people, too and that’s very important, because if you appear well you look better than if you appear badly. To conclude, I think everybody should decide for himself how far he or she would go to reach perfection in beauty.

Essay about City Life and Country Life

Is it more advantageous to live in the country or to live in a city? Now I’m going to list the pros and contras of each point and then it’s up to you which lifestyle fits better into your life.

So, I start with the city life. There are lots of advantages, for example multifaceted nightlife. Other positive points are the good public transports, so you can go anywhere easily and quickly without taking car. There are aswell a lot of different important things, for instance museums, cinemas, clubs etc. Cities are cosmopolitan, very multifarious in many kinds of things, there are lots of shopping possibilities, and you can find there everything what you need. There are also some disadvantages, for example the noise. There are also expensive apartments, the air is polluted and there are lots of people and very much traffic. People who like to live in a calm area will get easily stressed when they live in a city.

Now I come to the pros and contras of the country life. A big advantage here is that it’s very quiet at the country. You have some peace and quiet, mainly because there are not so much people and less traffic. The little traffic is also a reason, why there’s such a fresh air which means there is no pollution. The life in the country could be the right thing for you if you’re a gregarious person, because everybody knows everybody in small villages, which also could be annoying. That takes me to the negative aspects of the city life. The public transports are very bad developed, because it’s not profitable for metros or busses to drive for only one person or something. If you live there you almost have to have a car because of that. Other points are the little possibilities in various things, less shops, less clubs, etc. So I’d say if you’re always out to make party almost every day and like shopping, the city life would fit better into your lifestyle.

To conclude I’d say that I prefer the country life, because you can have some peace and quiet but also go into a little city to have fun, or in one of the few clubs. I think I’m a real country bumpkin.

my style

I try to tell you about my style, my outlook on life, the kind of music I listen to, and about what influences me.
I start with the first point. My style includes two different style-types. Mostly I wear some jeans or black trousers and a one-coloured shirt, shoes without heels and I’m not or only unobtrusive rouged. It’s something that the most people describe as a normal style. In my free time, when I go out with my friends, I wear tinsel, sometimes skirts and high heels, I put my face on and I do my hair. I never do that when I go to school, because I don’t care how I look like when I go there. So sometimes I primp myself, but I’m often too lazy to do that, too.
Now I go to the next point about my lifestyle. My outlook on life is quite positive. Life’s not always easy, but it’s fun. I’m a very spontaneous person and I really have no future visions yet. The only thing I know is that I want a good education to find a good job. I’m curious about how my life looks like in future. I don’t want to plan everything exactly, because I like it, when something unexpected happens. For example when I plan to make a movie night with my friends, and then unexpectedly we’re not up to it and we go to a disco, the planning has had no reason. Nobody knows what’ll be in the future and that’s that what I like.
The next thing I want to talk about is music. I listen to almost all kinds of music, it depends on my mood. When I’m in a disco I like to hear party music and techno, but when I want to chill, I listen to unhurried music. Music is very important for me, because it helps me to shutdown all my thoughts and it’s also possible to change my mood when I hear music which I like respectively dislike. I hate it for example when someone in the classroom listens to music loudly, then I’m very upset about that.
Now I come to the last point, it’s about what influences me. I think everybody of us gets influenced by almost everything, me too. The people around me, the TV, the advertisement, the internet, the music even the weather are only a few examples of what influences me. We’re all influenced by everyone and everything and that every second of our life. I think the important thing is, to make a clear border between the influences and your own thoughts and wishes, because it’s more important to listen to yourself than to listen to anybody else.

Conflict Map

+++++Charlie has no friends, because his best friend died, so he is an outsider.

He cries a lot because of this. He finds new friends and he gets a nominal member to be accepted.

I think it’s good that he found new friends, but in my opinion he never should get a nominal member, because they should like him how he is and not only because of the things that he does or not does.

+++++He falls in love with Sam, but she doesn’t want a relationship, although she gave him his first kiss.

He’s sad and cries. He’s in a relationship with Mary Elizabeth, but he still loves Sam.

Maybe he should distance himself from her and then, when he’ll have concluded this chapter of his life, they could be friends again.

+++++Charlie’s sister quarrels with her boyfriend and he hit her, because he lost his temper.

He apologizes for that and claims that it’d never happen again. She believes him and forgives him.

Maybe she should brake up with him. It depends on the relationship.

+++++Charlie tells his teacher the incident with his sister’s boyfriend. She hates him for that, because she said that it’s a secret.

She forgives Charlie.

In my opinion this was a good solution.

+++++Charlie watched a guy who raped a girl and then his sister came in and said he’s pervert. He didn’t know that the boy raped her till he tells it Sam.

He does nothing. Everybody knows it afterwards.

Maybe he ought to have kept this secret.

+++++Charlie’s sister gets pregnant from her boyfriend, but he doesn’t believe that it’s his baby.

She decides to abort the baby. She doesn’t say anything to her parents, only Charlie knows the secret.

It may be better, if she discusses it with her parents, before she makes her decision.

+++++Brad and Patrick make out sometimes, but they keep it secret. Brad’s father finds them making out and then Brad breaks up with Patrick.

Brad called Patrick a “faggot” and then they started an affray.

Patrick could take Brad to task. Violence is not a good solution.

+++++Charlie has to kiss the most beautiful girl in the room, but instead of kissing his girlfriend Mary Elizabeth, he kisses Sam.

Charlie said sorry to Mary Elizabeth, but it was too late.

He could talk to her earlier that he still loves Sam.

+++++Craig cheated on Sam.

She broke up.

Maybe they could find another solution. If there are no problems in a relationship, then you’d not break up I think. They could talk about their problems earlier.

+++++Charlie finds out that his aunt raped him when he was younger.

There’s nothing he can do anymore.
