Some suggest that young people should take a job for a few years between school and university.
Discuss what advantages and disadvantages might be for people who do this.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Teenagers get advices by older people to have job before entering university, which does have benefits and drawbacks to their life. The experience of working and store money for the higher education are the major benefits that can be obtained by them, while the competition in getting job and irrelevant salary are the cons.

After the graduation from high school, the students have obligation either to directly go to work or continue to higher education in university. Meanwhile, they should searching and gaining experience before proceed to advanced education which can only be afforded by getting to work. In addition, by prioritizing the work before continue to next level of their education, they can save a lot of money which in turned to be used to pay their studies. It is not a wrong decision to work before their studies, hence it may support their studies later on.

On the contrary, they should also consider the consequences of getting early employment, competition between qualified candidates for job and unfair salaries among employees. As they just finish their high school and search for job, the probability of having occupation become narrow down in consequence of tight qualification. Furthermore, the amount of salary are not equal between them and qualified job seekers. Thus, the number of experiences as well as the educational background are determination of this problem.

In summary, the students who decide to work earlier have to consider the competitors between job hunters and unequal amount of salary they may received later, even though they can still get many job experiences and keep the money for their next stages of education.

Thus, tendency of male to have several wives are undeniable in every culture as it is common to have and build love to each other. Meanwhile, the technology has helped us to transform the era of loving each other. She conducted research to investigate the brain function during processing love emotion and invented that human brain has ability in controlling sex drive, feeling towards partner and bonding with long-term partner, which combined together to form sexual, romantic and have family senses.

Furthermore, the effect of technology to the love emotion between individual does not changed at all, instead it modified by a modern trend called the concept of paradox of choice. This concept had been identified in the brain and conclude the changes in how brain cope with it, by calling it as cognitive overload. In consequence of cognitive overload, slow love was invented.

Writing Feedback / The level of satisfaction of workers depends on how they do their job, the occupation is not crucial [2]

Some people say that in order to be happy, you must have a job you love doing it. Other say that other factors are more important.

Do you think that people can only be happy if they have a job they really enjoy?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The demand of company to recruit new employees push people to get job as soon as they graduate. Even though some of the people get the right job, the counterparts who do not get proper job still do it with heartfelt intention. That is the reason why I think the level of satisfaction of people doing their work depends on how they do their work rather than getting a proper one.

People start to enter school and finish their education in university so that they can get an occupation which match their interest. They can only be found in professional workers rather than usual employments, for instance, a doctor. Most doctor who already finish their studies in university have to work in the hospital or other medical facilities rather than working in office. Beside, their satisfaction towards their work in the hospital is not relied on their proper position only but the will to do the process of working also necessary.

Moreover, many people who just work and do not wonder whether their work position are good or bad have tendency to focus more in doing their job. For example, uneducated people try to work in any types of jobs so that they can earn money to live. Thus, their satisfaction of earning money rely on their competency to do the work.

In conclusion, people who enjoy their work the most are the one who feel more satisfaction than the people who do their work with the proper occupation. In fact, the uneducated people have shown how the satisfaction depends on the process of doing their work.

Writing Feedback / Writing Task 2 - People live in one place and live in many places - which is better? [3]

In the past, people usually stayed in one place throughout their life. These days, people often move around. They often live in several different places in their life time.

What are advantages and disadvantages of both?

People tend to settle in the same place whole their life, while some of them prefer to change one to another. There are several benefits and disadvantages.

Better living facilities and higher income are the main reasons why they change their living places recently. In developed countries, the government provide their citizen with easy accesses to health care, public transports and advanced education system which attract people form developing countries to move. On the other hand, the higher taxes of developed countries make people to consider again whether to stay or not.

The tremendous salary appeals the people to move away from their hometown so that they can afford enough money for their family or start a new family. In contrast, the tight requirement of job and competition among new employees have sorted the people to settle on their hometown, as they already achieve higher status in their office.

Furthermore, people living in one place has several reasons to settle, which are live nearby to their parents and already comfort with their neighborhood. At first, people whom already have raised family want to stay close or with their parents so that their children can have good relation with their grandparents. On the other hand, the children can become introvert to their friends as they feel more comfortable with their families than friends. Moreover, people prefer to stay in friendlier environment, such as their old neighborhood. This is because they think that friendly environment helps their children to increase sense of self-awareness to surroundings, however, the bad influences can easily infect their minds.

Overall, living facilities and higher income re the consideration of people to change their living places, even though the higher taxes can be a troublesome to stay on. In addition, live nearby to parents as well as feel comfortable are the reasons of why people tend to settle in one place only.
