NEW TECHNOLOGY, A THREAT OR A PROMISE ?????

Sciences are more and more develops so new technology are invented everyday. But is it a promise or a threat to us? It depends on the purpose of how you use it. In the past, with the help of new technology, industries of various countries had grown up rapidly in the past and until now. But it also has disadvantage, the American invented atomic bomb and they bombed and destroyed the whole two cities of Japan and left out a lot of consequences. But for me, new technology is more a promise than a threat.

Technology is a promise when people use it correctly, when scientists and government focus on how to make life better for people. Technology allows us to find way to cure incurable diseases. Computer helps us to find information easier, buying things and work at home. And the fact is that it made the world become smaller by the invention of steam engines with the appearances of steam boat, steam train. It made a big change in the world as we all know the industrial revolution which changes totally the way people used to work in the past. And who knows what is going to happen in the next one hundred years?? Maybe at that time, robots will works for people and human being, they only need to learn how to use and control those intelligent machines. New technologies really promise a bright future for the world.

But whatever has good thing, there is also bad thing inside. Even though scientists know how to create all the good machines which make life easier for people, they also know how to create things that can destroy everything. When nuclear bomb came in to the world, everyone, every country is always afraid of the power of atomic bomb which can dismantle their whole countries or even the whole world within some seconds. New technology also brought to mankind a big problem about our environment. Within the past 50 years, the Earth temperature had been increased and it is continuing to go up. Technologies do not always bring good to life.

Somehow I believe that people technology had helped us a lot. It makes life better than ever. I think that human are kind and clever enough to know how to use technologies for the sake of our Earth Mother. Everything will be fine if everyone is doing their best for human future. Technologies are definitely a promise.

CHONG BOON SCHOOL RULE

What do you think about school rule in Chong boon? School rule is important to all of us. It consists of the attendance of the students, their behavior and their appearance. It ensure a clean and safe environment for everyone to learn. I think that Chong Boon rule is reasonable and it’s good that we have rule on school.

Talk about Chong Boon school rule, we will immediately think about the uniform, the appearance of the student. The rule state that students should be in their proper attire at all time, and hair should be neat and clean. Some pupils think that this is unreasonable as the skirt is too long and when they tie up their hair or cut it short, they will not look nice. But what do people think when they see a student with a very short uniform skirt or a guy with funny hair style? They will think that those students are not good and immediately after that they will think about the school that they attend to is a lousy school and they should not send their children there. The appearance of the students represent for the face of Chong Boon. It understands why student should keep their look nicely.

The attendance of students in school is very important, thus Chong Boon school rule is very strict about it. It ensures that students don’t miss any of the lessons, which will affect their study at school as well as their mark, their future. It shows the regard with respect of the students with the school as well as with the teachers and fellow students.
This is also one way to teach student how to discipline themselves in order to adapt to the world tomorrow.

To have a clean and safe environment for everyone to study, Chong Boon has set up many rule about the behavior of the students. This is very important as the behavior affect a lot to one character and others. These rules forbid us from impolite, disrespectful and rude behaviors. It also teaches and prepares for us the skills about how to treat people. Violence is strictly prohibited in school for the student to have a safe place to do their job in peace and also to ensure that the students who are studying in chong boon will not become members of gangster. They will be someone who knows how to use their brain whenever they do anything.
