Planning

How was imperialism negative and positive to both the US & the countries concerned.

It is better to use an advanced search than a regular google search because it is more detailed and has more efficient sites. It is not such a great idea to do a regular google search because you can find results that are not about your specific topic. With advanced search you can be sure to have the topic that you are researching about. It is better to find info from a book or from an online encyclopedia because their information is more reliable unlike some random sites that come up when doing a normal google search.

Life in the Trenches

Dear Parents,

In this moment I am writing to you from the trenches. Life here is horrendous. The trenches are about 210 cm at the top and 100 cm at the bottom, which is uncomfortably narrow. We are in complete discomfort and tension. There are so many men living in a very constrained space. Scraps of discarded food, empty tins, and other wastes are all over. The dirt of living underground and not being able to wash for days or weeks creates conditions of severe health and military risks. Pests including rats and lice are very numerous. The rats are cat size. Diseases are spread both by them and by the worms and flies that prosper on the nearby remains of decomposing human and animal flesh.

In winter it is very cold, and the trenches flood sometimes to waist height. Men suffer from exposure, frostbite, trench foot (a wasting disease of the flesh caused by the foot being wet and cold, constrained in boots, for days on end, that would cripple a man), and many diseases brought on or made worse by living in such conditions.

I hope that I will be able to surpass this dreadful life in the trenches, and succeed. I am looking forward to coming back home and meeting all the family. Pray for the best and let God do the rest.

Best Regards,

John Smith

P.S: Say hello to everyone and tell them that I miss them very much.

"TYPICAL PROBLEM, TYPICAL RESOLUTION"

A typical problem in a teenager’s life is fighting obesity. The “alternative” solution for this is smoking. This has a potential effectiveness because smoking cuts the appetite. After smoking one does not have the appetite to eat. Therefore, this is effective to become skinny. However, smoking has many side effects to it, for instance, lung cancer and other terrible diseases. To prevent a teenager from using smoking as a solution to obesity we have to identify alternative solutions. Starting a diet, and doing sports is one of them. One can remain healthier this way. One can follow a program that includes the cleansing of the liver, which usually stores the fat for you. After the liver cleanse one can start eating normally. These alternatives will prevent sicknesses from smoking.
