                                                    Should Work Be Enjoyable?

The words work and fun seem to go against one another.  Work is something we do because we have to earn money and contribute to our respective societies in one form or another.  Fun is usually the things we do when we are not work, whether it be hobbies, or some kind of recreational activity.  But, what about the idea of work being enjoyable and fun?  Is this really possible?  I personally believe that work should both be enjoyable and fun at the same time.  And when I say that, I don't mean you shouldn't be serious when you are doing it.  From my perspective, you can do work the right way while finding it enjoyable and fun.  Take teaching in class for example.  There is no reason that a class can't be educational and fun at the same time.  And when I say fun, it can be fun for both students and the teacher alike.  Now, there are some professions like being a doctor where one can say it's not really fun when you have to do important medical procedures.  Perhaps not.  But, that doesn't mean that taking care of people can't be enjoyable.  In fact, I'd argue that providing health services should be enjoyable because you are playing a key role in keeping the society healthy.  And doing that is satisfying.  So, work is something that is necessary, but it doesn't mean it can't bring happiness and satisfaction to our lives while we are doing it.  For our own well-being, as well as for those around us, it should. 

Short Writing: “What kind of work would you like to do in the future, and how could it be enjoyable and meaningful at the same time?”

Correct Mistakes (with verb-tenses): 

Yesterday I go to work feeling very tired, but my boss tells me that everything is going well. While I am working, I think about how my job will be more fun if I enjoy it more. Last week, I am finishing a big project and everyone is celebrating, even though we work very hard. Now I was believing that work can be enjoyable if people try to have a good attitude.

Correct Mistakes (with punctuation): 

Work can be fun if people enjoy what they do many believe that work is only something we must do to earn money but that is not always true when you like your job you feel happier and more motivated for example teachers help students learn and grow they work hard every day but they also have fun in the classroom helping others can bring satisfaction and joy even though it is still work

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...
