Letters / A letter to a British friend in 180-120 words about an important festival in your country [5]

My darling Emma:
Hi, everything is OK? Are you still safe and sound? Did you keep on studying for exams? Well, I was interested in your recent letter written about Henley Royal Regatta. Now I'd like to make you familiar with one of the well-kept festivals of my country.

We celebrate Bon festival in July which comes back to a story which seems to be about a disciple of Buddha using his power to release her mother suffering in hungry ghosts' realm and he becomes successful. Also Bon dance originates from the time he starts to dance for his joy.

The festival lasts for three days in summer, so we wear yukata or light cotton kimonos. It usually consists of a huge carnival and foods like watermelon. We lit up paper lanterns and float them down rivers, mixed with fireworks at the end.

Much more things to say, yet I'll be happy to see you next July in here to experience it yourself.
Anyway drop me a line soon.
Best wishes
Mina

Undergraduate / A SHORT STORY STARTING WITH" I felt so excited when I looked at the envelope"IN 120-180 W [3]

I felt so excited when I looked at the envelope. Well, it has been passed about two months since I had sent my application off and I was gradually starting to lose my hope. When on this rainy pitch-dark evening, checking mails on the doormat, trying to prevent them being wet, the letter mark as Harvard University caught my eyes.

Looking at the envelope enthusiastically, I just tried to open it as fast as I could, tearing with my hands. Although I was not certain if they applied me or not, I was just curious about what it has been written there. After reading the first sentence, I thought I am going to be in for a surprise. As I was reading the rest of the letter, I felt as if I was in a haze, hard to come out of, so I read it over and over to become certain about it.

Having become certain, I just talked to my mother about it and it simply began to spread out like a wildfire!!!

Writing Feedback / there should be a complete ban on the advertising of dangerous products (120-180 words) [11]

Some people believe that advertising dangerous products like cigarettes should be completely banned, although some others disagree. I will consider both sides of the matter in my essay.

First of all, on one hand, advertisements on cigarettes or any other dangerous products are not only one of the most solid reasons of initiating wrong social habits among young people but also a drastic pretext for them to both be inclined to it and continue doing it. Therefore there are negative complaints from people concerned about their society health to these advertisements.

On the other hand, the opponents of the ban argue that as long as they are legal products, there need not be any limitations for such advertisements. In fact, it is better for beholders to use well-known and authenticated products rather than poor and unqualified ones, although there might be a risk for not interested people to become interested in such devitalizing products.

Considering both ideas, the cons surplus the pros of such advertisements, certainly claiming why should we consume such products while they have no benefits for us?!!

Graduate / market development and export; reverse engineering (abstract) [4]

In recent years, issues such as market development and export included the greatest concern to senior managers of engineering and manufacturing organizations. The question is how can we reduce the technological gap with developed countries and promote our rank in global marketing? Investigating countries like Iran, that didn't acquire technologies over time, shows that the first step, to the widespread use of reverse engineering approach is to understand the primary products and upgrading them according to our needs.

Promoting and supervising the implementation of a systematic process using reverse engineering and process engineering tools and techniques could be effective in achieving the technical knowledge (still no sequences due to the lack of systematic procedures) with the least time and cost consuming.

In this paper, in addition to explaining different strategies, technology, research and development positions in reverse engineering, I discuss it as an appropriate way of progress for developing countries with summarized methodology.
