Should we legalise the sale of human organs?

On Friday morning, our class had our second English current affair. The topic is"Should we legalise the sale of human organs?". In my personal view, we should do that. Now, I am going to talk about some informations regarding the topic.

In 2000, a total of 22,827 organs were transplanted in the United States. In the decade, the discrepancy between the number of available organs and the number of patients requiring a transplant operation has increased significantly.A British Medical Association report has indicated that in the period between 1995 and 1999, 1,000 patients in the United Kingdom died whilst waiting for a heart, heart and lung, or liver transplant. An average of 15 patients die every day in the US whilst awaiting an appropriate organ. It is sad when seeing people died when waiting for a suitable organ transpant. There is also black market which trades human organs, but the costs is very expensive. The poor people is not able to afford buying a human organ for the transplant, hence they will suffer and eventually die. In my point of view, I think the government should legal the sale of human organs and make the price more fair, so the poor people will still able to afford. This is my view about the sale of human organs.

Basketball Competition

On Friday, our basketball team thrashed our opponent in a C Division West Zone Basketball tournment. The score is 105-4. I am very proud of my team and we will continue to train hard to achieve top four in our zone and go into the national competition. We played a very good game.

Feedback of my new blog

I had already started this blog for about three month. I found blogging is very fun and I really enjoy it. I hope I will start blogging sooner, so I will be a more experienced blogger. In my own opinion, I think that the most difficiult part of blogging is how to maintain it and choosing different template or wallpaper. We have to think hard to attract others to view you blog and to write comments on it. You have to blog frequently and should add pictures, videos, music etc to attract others' attention. We will also take quite a long time to choose the background of the blog which is called the blogskin.

I like to write blog entries and adding pictures. At the start of this year, when my teachers start to teach us about blogging. I think it is really very boring, but now I feel blogging is very fun. When we start blogging, we will gain vocabulary and spelling. It also help us on our writing skills. I think that we can improve the whole process by having a class blog which have a tagboard etc. We can also write blogs about sports like NBA, basketball instead of things happening in school.

And I think the electronic bookshelf to my blog is a good way to record the books I had read so far. That's about it. Goodnight.

Graphic novel and Written novel

Recently, my two English teachers had showed our class about some graphic novels. I found it very interesting and I like it. The graphic novel is actually a storybook which consists of only pictures and there was not a single word in the book. On the other hand, written novel only consists of words and there are not a picture in there. In my own opinion, I would prefer graphic novels to written novels. Written novels sometimes can be very boring if you are not interested.

Now, I am going to talk about the difference between the graphic novel and the written novel. I think they have their weakness and strength. First I am going to talk the graphic novel. Graphic novel is just pictures as I had mentioned earlier, but they are not able to give as much as informations compared to the written novel. But it can easily attract the reader's attention and the reader will eager to finish reading it.

What about written novel? They are just written words but can provide the readers a lot more informations than the graphic novel. Its weakness is the readers may get confused if there are too many characters appearing in the book.

Plagiarism

I had recently understood what is Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and ideas of another author and representation of them as one's own original work which means copying the work of others much easierby copying and pasting text from one web page to another.

In my opinion, I think it is very irresponsible for the person to copy other people's work etc. Plagiarism can cause a lot of consequences which charge of plagiarism includes expulsion from a university or loss of a job, not to mention a writer's loss of credibility and professional standing. Hence, we should really avoid plagiarism. We should be very careful when we publish posts etc to the Internet, we should not copy other people's ideas as the result can be very serious.

I really hope this post will be useful and we should think before we act. There are some reference you can infer about the plagiarism.
