Protection of Sea turtle
Have you ever seen many kinds of sea turtle? You might have seen them in the various mass media. We also learned about the influence of environmental problems in educational programs, so I was interested in endangered species. As we know, pollution of various kinds gives rise to destruction of nature and demolition of an ecosystem; especially, pollution of various kinds makes an increase in the number of endangered species. Sea turtles are threatened as one of endangered species by human activities and climate changes. According to US Fed News (2006), “Sea turtles have survived in the world’s oceans for millions of years. However, all of the five species that occur in North Carolina waters are currently either threatened or endangered” (par. 1). According to Greenhalgh’s article (2002), sea turtles lose their breeding place because of rising sea levels, so their lives are threatened by global warming, and many kinds of sea turtles are killed by a single disease, and they will die with a bitter experience. The sea turtles’ extinction is an issue to me because sea turtle is an animal of high rank in my country and the meaning of the sea turtle is eternal life in my country. Also another issue is that sea turtles are closely related with humans, because they are very responsive to the influence of environment and climate changes. Many species’ lives are endangered as the world advances in civilization, so today mankind and species have environmental problems. Humans have to prevent the extinction of the sea turtle. In fact, I would like to talk about three solutions- three solutions are the knowledge of endangered sea turtles, creating cleaner fuels and stopping land development work, and making a reservation for sea turtles.
First of all, humans have to learn about the endangered sea turtle. Sea turtle is a good example of an endangered species. According to Wright’s article (2006), “Sea turtles are found in warm, temperate seas around the world. Adults spend most of their time in shallow coastal waters, bays, lagoons and estuaries, although they can venture out to sea. Sea turtles eat different foods, depending on the species. Adult Green sea turtles eat a vegetarian diet of sea grasses and algae. Loggerheads and Olive Ridleys eat mollusks, crabs, shrimps, jellyfish and vegetation” (par. 4). Nowadays, many kinds of countries have increased industrial development and technological development. They also have increased destruction of environment and extinction of ecosystems. According to Wright’s article (2006), “Many sea turtle nesting beaches are under threat from human activities such as sand mining, development and driving trucks on the beaches. Garbage on the beach can disturb the female sea turtle as she tries to crawl up onto the beach, cause her to turn around and go back to the water without laying her eggs. Garbage can also impede the hatchlings from reaching the water, and turtles can also die from ingesting garbage” (par. 11). Power station uses seawater to cool down the power equipment heat in order to keep the station working well, and then the power station release the high temperature directly into the sea. In addition, the number of species is decreasing.Especially, global warming and destruction of environment are threatening endangered sea turtle. According to Greenhalgh’s article (2002), many kinds of sea turtles lose their breeding place because one effect of global warming is a rise in sea levels. The author suggests that people have to study sea turtle preservation. Therefore, for the human race, people should be concerned about protection of sea turtle, and people have to study information about the sea turtles.
Next, people have to decrease resource use and stop land development work. Many countries are draining themselves of its resources and they are persevering in their efforts to do land development work for the quality of their lives. So, humans and species have serious pollution on earth. For example, the air in cities has been heavily polluted by vehicle emissions and reckless deforestation; the water in the world is polluted with sewage and factory wastewater. Also, the land in developing countries has been heavily polluted by estate development and reclamation. According to US Fed News’ article (2006), “Respect enclosures. All known sea turtle nest sites are posted for their protection. As hatching dates approach, closures must be enlarged to safeguard the young. Beachgoers should respect these signed areas at all times. Areas are reopened after hatching is completed” (par. 3). According to Fish and Wildlife Research Institute’s article (n.d), light pollution is caused by the millions of electrical lights humans turn on every night, so naturally dark skies are brightened around the world by light. This article explains one kind of pollution problems. Today, numbers of sea turtles are decreasing from amounts of environmental problems. Seacoast towns have to reduce their artificial light and people should not be putting waste dirt on the beach in seaside. Therefore, humans have to use the natural resources and build only on limited development districts.
Finally, people should make a reservation for sea turtles. Humans and all species are the owners of the earth, because all of the species on earth have the vital power of life, and sea turtle is also one of the species. People should learn about the ways of protecting sea turtle. If people can make urbanization and development, people have to design for protection of the natural world and preservation of sea turtles. For instance, many kinds of countries have developed new bathing resorts, developed artificial natural parks, and developed land for the purpose of commercial profits. According to US Fed News’ article (2006), “The signs, which warn people not to enter a limited area of the beach, are strategically posted on the north, south and front approaches to the turtles’ habitat. PMRF and Navy Region Hawai’I environmental program leaders, who are constantly working to safeguard the environment, worked with Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific (NAVFACPAC) to design and manufacture the signs” (par. 2). I think that the best way to protect sea turtles is to sustain and protect the earth’s ecosystems that serve as habitats. People make many kinds of wildlife conservation parks for living sea turtles and they also have to set restricted areas for wildlife like a greenbelt. Therefore, people should divide equally between natural development and natural preservation.
In conclusion, I think that sea turtle is an animal of great tenacity, so it is a good protecting model for the future’s human race. Global warming threatens many kinds of sea turtles. The extinction of sea turtles and serious environmental problems are now threatening the various lives of species. People should prevent the extinction of the sea turtles. Therefore, three of solutions are increasing knowledge of endangered sea turtles, creating cleaner fuels and stopping land development work, and making a reservation for sea turtles.

Argument Essay
Wal-Mart
Have you ever been to Wal-Mart? You might have been to Wal-Mart and bought some things. As we know, Wal-Mart is the biggest retailer in the U.S. and that store has kept a rich assortment of goods in stock and that store sells at the lowest possible price. According to USA TODAY’s article (2003, par. 3), “Wal-Mart is the top seller of groceries, jewelry and photo processing. It is creating more of its own brands. Some, such as Ol’ Roy dog food and Equate vitamins, quickly became the USA’s top sellers. It is moving into banking, used car sales, travel and Internet access. It averages 100 million customers a week. That’s 88.5 million more people than U.S. airlines fly in a week”. Wal-Mart is monopolizing the distribution industry throughout the U.S. According to USA TODAY’s article (2003, par. 1), “Wal-Mart’s influence on the U.S. economy has reached levels not seen by a single company since the 19-century rise of Standard Oil, economists and historians say”. I think that some keys of success are that Wal-Mart is conveniently situated and that place met the needs of the times.
I agree with Wal-Mart’s buying land in Jackson County and planning on building a new super center in the Carbondale-Murphysboro area. In fact, Wal-Mart gives Carbondale’s people an increase in the quality of life because it is one of the big companies, known for taking of new post of engagements, developing of an urban economy, and offering chances of a large selective buying.
First of all, Carbondale citizens will take up a new occupation. Because Wal-Mart is the biggest retailer in the United States, many kinds of small towns’ people have to get some jobs in Wal-Mart. According to Hoeniig’s article (2004, par. 16), “In 2005, Wal-mart created 125,000 U.S jobs, and is continuously adding thousands each month” (Capitalism Magazine). People in Carbondale-Murphysboro can find many kinds of new jobs because of Wal-Mart.
Next, Carbondale can make developing of urban economy. Since a new Wal-Mart is being built in Carbondale-Murphysboro, the urban economy in Carbondale can make profit from a new big company, more than from a local body in Carbondale, and can invest their money in urban planning. According to Hoening’s article (2004, par. 17), “The truth is that all Wal-Mart does is provide low prices, serve communities with long hours, employ thousands of people and pay millions of taxes – over $61 million in the state of Illinois alone” (Capitalism Magazine). Wal-Mart helps economic development in Carbondale.
Finally, people in Carbondale can make the chances of a large selective buying. Wal-Mart seeks to supply us with goods and to sell cheaply all kinds of stocks so that people can save a lot of money and they also can buy stocks with a good quality. According to Locke’s article (2004, par. 7), “We should thank this great company for being so good at giving customers what they want that they make huge profit, which enables them to build more stores, hire more employees, give more profit opportunities to suppliers and make even more customers happy” (Capitalism Magazine). According to Hoenig’s article (2004, par. 6), “The company’s “low price guarantee” shouldn’t be dismissed as a marketing catchphrase: estimates suggest the average Wal-Mart can save a family over $2,000 a year compared to shopping at higher priced alternatives” (Capitalism Magazine). Therefore, people in Carbondale can make a choice of various stocks and they also can increase the quality of life.
In conclusion, Wal-Mart is huge company in the U.S and it has kept a rich assortment of goods in stock and it also has sold at the lowest possible price. Therefore, I agree with Wal-Mart’s planning on building a new super center in the Carbondale-Murphysboro area because it gives us the taking of new posts of engagements, developing of urban economy, and chances of a large selective buying.

Summary:
In the article, "Early Class Friday? More Sober Thursday, Study Finds," Beth Sussman claims that college students who have Friday morning class tend to drink on Thursday nights less than the students who have no class on Friday morning. According to study, the students who don't have Friday class drink an average of 2.41 drinks on the Thursday night; on the other hand, the students who have Friday morning class drink an average of 1.39 drinks. And she mentions that almost 1,700 college students die from drinking incidents a year and it shows how drinking is dangerous. And, she mentions that reducing drinking on Thursday nights can encourage reducing overall drinking campuses, so the authors of the study recommened that the colleges make Friday morning classes required to students. However, in fact, it's difficult for colleges because of the size of the school and classes.
Reaction:
I thought it is very interesting because most college students tend to drink a lot. Actually, when I chose the article, I was pretty worried because it is not about my major. But, because drinking is thought a big problem in all society, I think it's a good way to solve th problem, even though it's a little thing. Actually when I was in Korea, I had been drunk a little. Then, if I had no plan the next day, I tended to drink more than usual. It's a little different case with the article, but I think it happened for the same reason. Because I had no plan, I didn't care whether or not I couldn't wake up early next day. And, for this reason, I drank more than normal. So, I agree with the author and I think his recommend action is a good way to reduce drinking of students if the colleges can.

I got some good ideas from this article. One is that the internet offers us infinite possibilities. One of the possibilities is that it is easier for people who have limited funds to do what they want and to be successful. Advertisements on the internet are very effective because people all over the world use the internet.

Summary:
In Jerry Potter’s article, “The Tank wins Woods’ first tournament at Congressional,” he explains who the champion is, how he learned golf, and how he won the tournament. First, the author claims that Choi of South Korea has marched to victory in a championship hosted by Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. Choi has physical stamina from his boyhood so that most people are calling him “The Tank”. Next, the author explains that Choi learned how to play golf in South Korea from a celebrated golfer’s autobiography. Finally, he says that Stuart Appleby was the leader until the third round, but it was Choi who won the tournament. The way Choi played in the final round reminded people of the way Tiger Woods plays. In Potter’s article opinion, he tells us that Choi got popular because of his fortitude, and gives us important information about his perseverance and efforts.
Reaction:
My major is architectural design, but my other major is golf, so I was very interested in reading about this Korean champion at the recent golf tournament. The article gave me some strong points and impressions. Choi, who is the winner of the golf tournament, shows me that nothing can be obtained without effort, and success only comes to people who try and put effort to it no matter how talented they are. I learn that the true meaning of success is neither money nor popularity. If I try to achieve my goal and do my best, it is a true success. Choi who is the winner of the golf tournament shows me that people need perseverance and to put forth effort in order to be successful. I also learn that people get the successful life if they put forth more effort all the time, and they can’t achieve anything without perseverance.

My major is architectural design, but my other major is golf, so I was very interested in reading about this Korean champion at the recent golf tournament. The article gave me some strong points and impressions. Choi, who is the winner of the golf tournament, shows me that nothing can be obtained without effort, and success only comes to people who try and put effort to it no matter how talented they are. I learn that the true meaning of success is neither money nor popularity. If I try to achieve my goal and do my best, it is a true success. Choi who is the winner of the golf tournament shows me that people need perseverance and to put forth effort in order to be successful. I also learn that people get the successful life if they put forth more effort all the time, and they can’t achieve anything without perseverance.

The Most Stressful of CESL Students
Most international students in CESL have a lot of stress. Some students want to go to SIUC when they finish CESL, and get a high-score the test or TOEFL test. Most of all CESL students try to study English as their second language. They fell a different style between their first language and English, so they have a regard for communication and their life. Some international students in CESL also get stress from financial problems, so they usually have a troubled mind on many days. Actually, most international students sometimes don't have control of themselves because they are young age-groups. Therefore, international students have to take a positive attitude and not be afraid of speaking English.
