Planning

The websites i will use are the ones made by governments because that way i am sure that the source is reliable and that the information is accurate. Nowadays many websites are edited by everyone and therefor the information isn't always relevant to my topic. Google advanced search helps you eliminate all those websites by refining your search into results of websites only by governments. Also because of the very high number of websites available not all of them are reviewed by professionals that make sure the information is correct and reliable. Therefor using an encyclopedia or a book would make my information a lot more sure to be correct. So i will be sure to visit the library to do some research about my topic. The CIA factbook is a great website that has lots of information and is reviewed by the CIA meaning that it is a reliable source. I will be sure not to use information with no authour listed because we cannot know if the author is reliable or not.

fearless



Dear family,

This is september 19th 1917, my head is spinning, my bones are burning and my heart is sinking, Yes i am proud to be fighting for America, and at the end of everyday i feel like i am a hero and that I have done something for my country. However as much as i would like to say that I am strong and that I am ok with this, I can't. It is hard to be living a life where you could receive a grenade to your head any minute and a life where you could be having breakfast with someone and then 20 minutes later find him lying dead and being stomped on. All you hear all day are the sounds of exploding bombs and suffering men. I miss the love, peace and tranquility I had with you guys. I am glad I had time to write you this letter since I barely have time for myself. It's a very tough life, when you know that there is absolutely no place were you are safe. It's not life back home were, when everything feels wrong and everywhere feels dangerous, there still is that place you call home were it is always safe. There isn't really a place i call home here, well maybe the trenches but those are dangerous as well, we receive artilleries all the time and more and more men are starting to suffer from shellshocked making the number of men fighting a lot less. The food we get is pretty sufficient and everyday there are less people there to eat. I am really scared that one day i will be that missing person around the table. I try not to think about it and everytime i start losing hope and fading into depression I think of you guys, the only people i feel safe with. My family is the only thing that keeps me fighting that allows me to wake up every morning and be fearless, so thank you. Thank you because YOU are helping america as well, you and all the other families are what keep us soldiers away from depression and suicide. YOU are the reason we are fearless

Typical teenager problem



1. A very common problem experienced by teenagers is stress. Due to all the homework, tests pressure in class, most

students' healths are affected because of all the stress and pressure endured. This leads to students having no life apart from

work because of all the work that is given. Teenagers need to spend time with their friends and experience new things and

participate in different activities. However most of them cannot do this because of the overload of work and stress.



2. A solution proposed is that the student puts all the effort into his work and spends the 4 years of high school working as

much as possible to get into a good university and at the end it will all be worth it. Some parents think this is a good idea

because high school is all about getting great grades to be able to get into good universities and succeed in life and that by

working and preparing for tests and concentrating in class you will suceed in life.



3. I do not think this is a good solution because if all students do is work then stress will overcome them and this puts their

health in danger and may lead to more serious concequences. Stress can be very dangerous sometimes and may also lead to

depression or giving up. Having too much work and no teenager life may lead to a teenager being fed up with school and give

it up completly.



4. A solution that seems logical would be to balance work and activities and prepare a plan that will organize your work and

leave time to whatever interests you. This can help a student be more comfortable in their work and not stressed about

everything.
