Master's RW, Argument

Should We have a cooler classroom?

 

Introduction Paragraph:

 

            Afternoon classes are held in room 207 in the Whitecar building.  Although the room was very cold last week, after they fixed the system, it went from very cold to very hot, and now students are complaining of the heat in the room.  Because of this, there is talk about making the classroom cooler for the students.  But, is this a good idea or not?  Should we do that?  In my opinion, we need a cooler classroom because we are going to die in here if it is not.

Two Teachers

Image
By Nate Feldman I recently went to a school, and there I had two teachers.  They both taught me well, but they had some unique differences.   There was Mr. Franklin.  He was very playful in class.  He always taught using games and imagination.  Very often, he would tell stories to the class to learn something valuable and interesting.  He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh.  At the beginning of class, he asked us what we would want to do for the day, so we decided the type of lesson. Then, there was his wife, Mrs. Franklin.  Unlike her husband, she wasn't so playful in class.  She always used the book for the lessons and stuck with it strictly.  She could laugh, but she was more serious during lessons.  Also, unlike her husband, she was the decision-maker in the class.  She told us what to do, and we would do it. The two teachers were so different, but I learned so much from them, and I think they were both amaz...

Soccer and American Football, A Comparison Essay

By Nate Feldman Comparison Essay: Soccer and American Football Do you like to play or watch sports?  Athletics play an important role in cultures around the world, and two of the most popular, soccer and American football, often create confusion for international students. Although both games involve teamwork, strategy, and intense competition, they differ greatly in rules, equipment, and global popularity. To begin, soccer is the world’s most widely played sport. It is simple to learn and requires very little equipment: a ball and an open space. The objective is straightforward.  Players use their feet to move the ball and attempt to score goals by kicking it into the opponent’s net. Except for the goalkeeper, players cannot touch the ball with their hands. Soccer matches are known for their fast pace and continuous action, with only a short halftime break. American football, on the other hand, is primarily popular in the United States, although there is a Canadian foot...
