Final) People should not use cell phones

-------In my opinion, people should not use cell phones while they are driving. First of all, it can cause fatal traffic accidents. Moreover, if they are new drivers, they absolutely should not drive while using cell phones. Another reason is that if policeman catch them driving and using their cell phones, they will be punished for violating the traffic regulations. They say that talking on a cell phone quadruples the risk of an accident and statistically, it’s as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. Let’s keep the rule of the traffic for us.

Draft) Governments should make the environment their top priority

Next, If the governments shouldn’t make the environment their top priority, natural resources will exhaust and some animals may disappear from the earth.

Final) Bilgraphy

-------I draw a fine picture of successful life. First, In order for me to succeed in society, I try to do benchmarking about people who succeed in their life. While I’m working in the company, I have learned about good bosses’ merits. As s result of analysis, most of them are diligent and have many plans to achieve. Naturally I’m lazy but try to be diligent. After making a short term and a long term plan, I’ve been practicing for plan as they did. Secondly, for successful marriage I looked for my spouse with the same values of life. Even though character of married couple doesn’t need the same character, I think it is very important to be equal to values of life. Fortunately we are equal about 70 % of them. Equal to 100% is not possible because of growing in different environment. So they make an effort to ingratiate each other. I think success of home life connect with social success. I always study and practice how to support family and what they need. Finally, I pursue to contribute in society and country. For basically family, relatives and friends moreover the poor, I would like to be rich to help them. In proverb, Tigers leave only their skins when they die, but through his achievements a man’s name lives on. I leave my name on posterity.
