Daily assignment: My Elementary School Days


Topic: My Elementary School Days


In my home country, my elementary school days were very busy. I was six years old
when I stared elementary school. My school's name was "Peaceful Elementary school of Cameroon". Because my father hadn't a car, I used to walk to and from school. My classes started at 7:00 AM and ended at 4:00 AM. At that school, I studied French, grammar, and Biology. I really liked to study in the morning because I was more fresh at that time. My special friends were boys because I was very shy to make friends with girls. We used to study together and play during break. When classes ended, we separated promising to meet the following days. Today's elementary school days are quiet different from the ones a few decades ago because not only the programs are changed but also because students are too young. The methods of teaching are been completely modified. The pedagogy applied today is so easy and makes the children more creative. In conclusion, I really liked my elementary school days although they were busy.

Daily assignment: African's Way of Life

Topic: African's Way of Life

Many people will not believe but, it is a fact that African countries and other poor countries
have their original style of life characterized with corruption, crimes , violence, and dictatorship. There, people of the lower class will remain poor forever while those who own the power will continue dominating them.
Generally, there is not presidential elections in those countries. They just pretend holding elections to show to international organization that there is been elections. In fact all conditions are set in advance to make the former president to win. Some few decades ago," mono party " was the most wanted way of rolling many Africans countries until 1985 when the former Soviet Union collapsed. Therefore, most poor countries went on real strike to claim the real democracy and make the multiparty effective. It was not easy. many dictators did not want to understand. Violence dominated many countries civil wars occurred everywhere. Opposition parties leaders were massively arrested and some were brutalized or killed. Demonstrators intensified violence, some of them destroying their enemies' cars, houses and stores. Stilling became so common since the policemen and the other forces were humiliated by the demonstrators. Many people lost their life and hundred of houses were burnt. Finally the multiparty was adopted in some countries, but it was just a way to ease the tension because until today, nothing has changed. In Those countries, there is not elections. The dictators will still remain and died in power. At any time they can change the constitution like they want. Although many constitutions stipulate that a president of republic should not participate for more than three elections, the dictators presidents don't accept. They decide what they want and when they want since they have their corrupted army which protect them. Today, we discover that some of them are trying to being substituted by their sons by the time they died in power. During their regime, they rule the country like their private property. They do not ask anybody's opinion. The parliament is there only to approve what the president decided. He is the only person who can control the revenue of all natural resources like oil, wood, gold.....etc. He can still the country's money and build skyscrapers in foreign countries without any fear since army is his possession and is there to protect him. The constitution does not allow the president to stay more than forty days out of the country however, in my country, the president can take two months vacation in Europeans countries and nobody will protest. If you criticize, you will be treat as an "oppasant" and can even be kill.
Expecting that one day,the international community will be conscious and take direct actions against those dictators presidents, poor countries may not only died of hungry, general poverty, but also for civil wars because of the dictation of their presidents.

Topic: My Favorite Musician

Music is my special hobby and from all kind of music, reggae music has captivated my
attention. It is played everywhere around the world however Jamaica is the country where it started. Among so famous names like Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, U Roy, Burning Spear, ...., Bob Marley is the musician who has seriously impressed me.
He is the best musician not only because he created a special rhythm of dance but also due to his high sense of analyzing things and his philosophy against discrimination. Just at the begining of his carrier, so young, he didn't hesitate to take action right away to condemn violence torture and all other form of discrimination base on people's color, ethnicity, belief, and though. So courageous he is one of the heroes who openly demonstrated that human right should be respected and every one has the right to live, that there will no more distinction and all people are condemned to live together. He spent his entire life fighting against colonialism, violence and war around the world. Because of his positive way of thinking, feeling, suggestion to political leaders about torture which exists everywhere, many other musicians have started playing his type of music to criticize what happens negatively everywhere in the world.
In conclusion, Bob Marley's music is the one which has captivated many reggae's lovers around the world. After his dead in 1982 at the age of 32, Bob Marley became one of the world hero. Today, thousands of people are fascinated by his music. When I listen to it , I feel more relax and comfortable.

Daily assignment


Topic: The Most Serious Form of Pollution of Global Worming in The World

The improvement of the technology, the effects of human being have been severely
criticized due to their consequences on our planet. The destruction of the ozone in the sky, the reduction of the oxygen on the earth are enormous. Today, scientists are worried about their consequences on the life on the earth, in the sea, and the change of the globe temperature.
Air pollution today is a crucial problem. The improvement of the technology instead of solving problems has created others. Transportation problem today is solved by invention of cars, air planes, boats...etc which are powered by gas and diesel. The combustion of this micro fossil substance realizes smoke and other substances that gradually destroy the ozone in the sky. That ozone protects the earth from the dangerous rays "ultraviolet rays". Scientists have demonstrated that the life will end on the earth by the time those dangerous rays reach the earth planet. Today, the challenge question is: Which source of energy will substitute gas to power cars and planes?
Another crucial problem today is the human effects on the environment. People in order to build houses, construct things, and for economical matter destroy threes and forests. Those threes provide oxygen without which life is impossible on the earth. People destroy the forest but do not replant others. As result, the lack of oxygen will increase the temperature on the earth and the worming of the sea. The plants which grow in the sea will be destroy, minor fish will not longer have anything to eat, the biggest fish also and will died. Since there will no more fish in the sea, how should be our future as they are an important source of proteins for our diet? Sea companies will probably fall. The consequences of the world worming will not only be dangerous only for fish, but also for the whole humanity.
For many years ago, mountains and different area on the polar zone have been covered by snow which has been condensed forming enormous ice blocs.With the global worming of the earth, scientists predict that there will be melting of those blocs of ice which will dramatically increase the sea level. With this spectacular raise of the sea level, there will be flooding in many countries. Consequently, people will lose their properties, homes, cars, business, and some will event lose their life.
In conclusion, the global worming today is one the most important problem about which scientists are worried. Its consequences on the life on the earth, in the sea, and the change of the globe temperature are so borrowing that our future is so critical. Expecting that scientists will find a durable solution to this crucial problem, we will still continue polluting and destroying the environment.
