"My All" lyric from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mariahcarey/myall.html

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

[Chorus:]
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

[Chorus]

Give my all for your love
Tonight

Argumentative Essay

Title: Should students be allowed to grade their teachers?

The Ministry of Education has launched a new education policy where teacher’s evaluations are based on their student’s assessment. This is to improve our education system as well as due to the high demands of qualified teachers in school. A good teacher will produce excellent students in which will help our country developed in future. Apart from this, the policy has its own advantages and disadvantages.

One of the advantages is given an opportunity to the students to decide whether their teacher is proficient. Usually children at a young age are innocent. They cannot hide their true feelings. By doing the assessment based on their  feedback, the effectiveness of a teacher can be easily predicted. Besides, it gives the students a platform to voice out their thoughts and opinion. As a result, the school will be stricter in choosing a qualified teacher for the students.

The enhancement of teaching skills will then be the main objective for teachers nowadays. They will try to improve their teaching methods as they cannot easily scold and punish the students. They need to learn how to handle a class without violence. At the same time, it also helps them to become friendlier with the students.

As the policy also has disadvantages, one of them is the teacher’s achievement are fully depended on the evaluation. If they want a stable posting and salary, they need to be friendly to the students. Students who like them definitely will give them a better grade. As an impact, they are not fully assessed because they only evaluated based on the student’s acceptance not their own quality and ability. What is worst is that the students may grade them according to their appearances.

Besides, the students are not mature enough to grade their teachers. Those teachers who like to give punishment will get a bad result as the students do not like them. If the teachers want to scold the students, they will think twice because they know any act will effects on their evaluation mark. In the end, it is not possible for a rise in the discipline problems in school.

As a conclusion, the changes that happen to our education system today will bring along some pros and cons. It is not reluctant that it may improve our teacher’s proficiency but if the system is going to be applied, the Ministry of Education need to do more research on its efficiency. It can be a good effort but it is still a new system where the effectiveness is unknown.  

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe (Chapter 15)

Assalamualaikum and good day! ^^

As to make my blog more interesting, so I make a decision to post all my tasks on it. Later on I will add up with more enjoyable and valuable topics. ^^

CHAPTER 15

SUMMARY

In the second year of Okonkwo's exile, Obierika came to Mbanta. With him two bags of cowries were brought from Umuofia  for Okonkwo. He helped Okonkwo to sell his yams in Umuofia. He and his two young men then saluted Uchendu, the eldest of Okonkwo's mother kinsmen in his obi. As usual, they were presented with kola nuts and a pot of wine. They were having conversation until the news of Abame became their main topic. Obierika told them about the massacre of Abame's people in a market and most of them ran to Umuofia for life. This was happened after a white man with an iron horse was killed because the Oracle had said so.

SIGNIFICANT EVENT

• The Visit by Obierika to Okonkwo

          This event is significant because it shows the real value of a true friend. A true friend will never ignore or discard his friend. A friend will always be there whenever we have a problem. As for Okonkwo, Obierika was a good friend of him. Obierika always help him. For example, there was a time when Okonkwo's yams were not good planted and he offered his seeds to Okonkwo. Okonkwo was very grateful for it. Besides, his visit to Mbanta shows that Obierika is a true friend. Even though Okonkwo had been exiled and lost his title in Umuofia but Obierika still met him and even helped him to sell his yams.

• The killing of a white man in Abame

          This event is significant because it is a sign of arrival of white men to the village. The Oracle had consulted the people of Abame that the white men were like locusts and they were on their way to the  village. They were believed would spread destruction among Abame's people. The white man with his  iron horse was believed sent by his friends to explore the village so then he was killed by the people of Abame. This event is meaningful  because without it there are two things that might happen. The first one is if the white man was not killed, probably the arrival of the missionaries may not as drastic as this. Secondly, the people of Abame may not been killed. The white men have no reason to use violent over them as they are not harmful to them.

Selfnote: Things Fall Apart is an interesting story to read. Through it, we can know what happen to the Ibo culture in Africa. So why not you take a look? ^^
