Essay 918 Topic 182 Pets in the past are often cats, dogs, birds, however, nowadays, even snakes and worms are called pets too. It is undeniable that they are lovely friends of people, especially the old, children and single ones, but I do not think that it is good to treat pets as members of family as the following reasons. First, pets are only animals, and cannot be treated as human beings. Although some animals such as dogs and cats have been domesticated for a long time and are intelligent in some aspects, they do not have human feelings. Their instincts only enable them to distinguish between good and bad, love and hate, while people ourselves have many kinds and levels of feelings. In addition, pets regard people as their master rather than friends. Their actions towards people are fidelity, not friendliness. Treating them as people can make them confused as they have not developed enough to understand these treatments. Second, while some pets are treated as man, other individuals are considered animals. These people are the poor who have no homes, no food. Nobody cares about their lives, they get away from them as if these poor people suffer from an epidemic. They are people but do not have the rights of man. Meanwhile, cats and dogs have either wonderful houses or enough food or the care of people. These facts are unfair. Some people may argue over the second reasons that the poor are none of their business. They do not have any relation with them. Nevertheless, should people not raise pets, they will have time caring about their relatives, their friends and their relationships. For instant, single people raised cats, dogs or other animals because they feel lonely, but had they not raised pet, they would have found their lovers. In conclusion, I personally think that not treating pets as human beings would be better for the animals themselves, the masters and other people. We should consider them as they are, not as what we want them to be. Essay 919 Topic 182 In modern society, more and more people like to keep pets in their family. And some of them treat their pets as a member in their family. They eat with their pets, stroll with their pets, and even sleep with their pets.

We should notice that pets never can be real human, so it is impossible to establish a relationship with your pet which is same as you establish with human. A pet cannot think in the same way as us, and a pet cannot really understand human beings` emotion, so it is stupid to assume that your pet can understand what you think or your pet is your best friend in the world. Furthermore, there are now more and more stores devoted entirely to pets. They sell pet food, pet toys, pet clothes and pet homes. All of these stuff for pets are expensive, however, some pets owner do not care about the price and spend hundreds of dollars on supplies for their pets. Do they have ever thought about that there are still many children in the world who do not have food, toys, clothes?

Essay 923 Topic 182 Response to Topic 182 Nearly everyone has ever kept one or more pets. There are dogs, cats, birds, and even monkeys and pigs. Many people treat them as members of their family. But other people dislike keeping pets. In my opinion, I approve of such relationship because I think that having a close relationship with pets is very good thing for people. In the following discussion, I would like to reason and provide evidence to support my viewpoint. First of all, pets are so reliable and loyal. For instance, when the old feel lonely or sad, their pets stay at their side. People can tell the pets their feelings, dreams and secrets. Not only will the pet listen to he or she, but it will also feel the same feelings as the narrator. They can help people get released and forget the sadness quickly. Furthermore, the pets even volunteers to guard your house. So pets are our good friends. In addition, having a pet exposes children to the cycle of life and death. For example, with a pet, a child is able to watch the life of his dog, from being a puppy, to being mother, and to dying. Moreover, the relationship, because it will eventually end in the span of maybe ten years, will expose to the child to know the reality of death and the hardship of losing a loved one. Although, as a matter of fact, some people have pointed that sometimes pets can cause a lot of troubles. They may carry many terrible diseases and even bike you. Other people think the more time playing with pets, the more likely away from the society. However, I think that may be not so serious. Pets are our good friends. They give us joy, reduce our loneliness, and also teach us how to build up the friendship. In summary, I believe that treating a pet as a member of the family is a good thing, because it is so reliable and loyal. Moreover, it teaches children the cycle of life and death. So have a pet if you can and enjoy the life with it. Essay 924 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? Watching movies is an excellent way to learn about other cultures and countries. You can learn about language, customs and other subtle details about a culture. Historical events and political situation are also often mentioned. The first and most useful thing you can learn about a country or culture from a film is a language. Of cause, it is very difficult to learn to speak the language fluently, but some simple phrases or accent is very easy to learn. For example, I can recognize many languages by listening to only several phrases. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Also you can learn how people in different countries behave or react in complex situations. For example, from Japanese movie ed Sun?I leant that being late only 10 minutes is considered rude. On the other hand being late in Argentina is perfectly normal, I learnt it from numerous Argentinean soap operas I watched on TV. Watching historical movies is a very good way to learn about cultural heritage. For example, by watching American western movies I began to understand roots of American way of life. I learnt about formation of communism political system in China from an excellent Chinese movie ed Dragon Rising? It had a tremendous impact on my understanding of communism and Maoism. Also I like to watch detectives, especially soap operas about police. I found out a lot of useful information from those serials, for example I understood what Miranda Law meant from YPD Blue? After watching Russian movie enti?I decided not to go there on vacation due to extreme brutality of Russian police or, as they called it, militsiii. All in all, I am positive, that movies from various countries are a great source of knowledge about customs, history, politics and just usual behavior of people. Sometimes you need to make an effort to understand and memorize all that information, but it`s there. Essay 925 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? A film is a complex production, and it can be a reflection of many things. Of course, a movie can be a reflection of the country where it was made. The reason is that movies always include the people of the country, the custom of the country, and the culture of the country in their contexts. First of all, most movies do have people in them, and from those characters, you can get an idea of what are some of the stereotypes of people in this country. For instance, in he Natural Bone Killer? an American movie, the main characters are a young couple. They were so depressed by the society that they have to take an revenge on it by killing people frequently. Therefore, from watching the movie, we can see what are some of the young Americans look like or think about at that time. Then, we can also know the custom of the country by watching a movie. Some documentary movies are so focused on custom that after watching the movie you can be an expert of custom of that country. Finally, the culture of the country can be learned almost from any movie. The culture of a country is every single piece related to the country. From a normal person to the civil war, even an animal, like the panda of China, they are all part of the culture. A film`s subject must have something to do with one of these things. Thus, when you are watching For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org a movie, you are actually watching a portion of the culture, and you can certainly learn something from it. A country is a vast, complicated thing consisted of many small pieces. A movie or a film is surely a good way of expressing it.

I like watching movies from other countries, because I can learn different cultures of different countries when entertaining myself, and at the same time learn different language. Movies reflect the real life of different countries. Emotion, career, social life, violence and moral can be the subject of movies, so from movies, I can know more about each part of a country, the way people live, act, talk, and think. That would be helpful when I communicate with foreigners. For instance, in my country, it is commonplace to ask a lady`s age, but from movies, I learn that it is rude to ask people their personal business. Since I got the information from movies, I will not make the mistake to ask this kind of question to embarrass both of us. Then, I can improve my language skill from watching movies. Trying to catch what people say in a movie, I find my listening skill is improving. On the other hand, since there are many actors in one movie, I can learn how to adapt to different accent. Subtitle is practical to me, because when I cannot catch the dialogue in the movie, I can read the subtitle, and on the other hand improve my reading. Therefore, for the above reasons, I am sure, watching foreign movies is definitely a good way to learn more about other countries. Essay 927 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? Most people like watching movies made from different countries, not only because they can know about these countries` history, what is like in their daily life, but also their various attitude and ideas towards life.

For those who have the background historical knowledge, they can have a better understanding about the movie; while for those who have little knowledge about the history can start to know it from the movie they are watching.

Obviously, each country has a totally different history. Thus, by watching these movies, we will know more about other countries` history which will help us increase our knowledge and understanding about other countries. Furthermore, movies can show different social and cultural environment and various customs, which attract many moviegoers. Although people have more and more chances to travel abroad to see the world, this is not always the case for everyone. Movies give us a convenient way to know more about the outside world. From movies, we get to know that "toast" cab mean different thing to different countries, such as "good luck" to Americans, "bad luck" to Hungarians.

Finally, by watching movies, we may know other people`s attitudes and ideas towards life. Sometimes we may feel depressed or frustrated just because of some small problems in our lives.

Their attitudes will definitely change our ideas and make us cherish the life. What`s more, we may know Americans like to take risks; while French like a relaxed life and Italians like romance.

Although films are mainly the directors` personal products and describe various terms of life, they also lead the audience to the values of the director`s country and show the character of people living there. I have watched a lot of American movies, and they made me realize about the life in America. First, the values impressed me a lot. Many American movies express that America is built on equality and freedom. When I got these messages from the movies, I can feel that in the depth of my heart there is a voice saying,?I agree with the faith!?They also describe how a democratic government works. This gave me a chance to think about what a real democracy is. Sometimes these films also reveal the dark side of the American society, such as the race problems. However, because of their reality, I could understand how the virtue formed in United States of America. Second, people`s images in these movies are so vivid that some typical American characters can be seen, for example: the common characters of Americans are bravery, willing to take challenges, and active to others. I think people with these characters because most of them are Christian. This also can be found in films. A good American movie usually discusses about the virtues in different ways. And it also tries to make audience be influenced by the scenario of the movie. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Above all, I realized that the films are the reflection of the country where they are made. If we want to understand about another country, the best and fastest way is to watch their movies. The values, the characters of people, the customs are all shown in the stories prepared by directors. Therefore, though we couldn`t visit all the countries in the world, we still could acquaint ourselves with them by film, and this action would really open our views to the world. Essay 929 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? In today`s busy world films play a very important role. Watching film for a change from daily routine and for fun is the most common activity in the world. According to my opinion, most of the time people just come from their work and watch a film to get relaxed from the office stress. I personally also like watching film; it gives me a change and takes me far away. I agree that films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. For example films which have been made in India can tell about Indian culture and traditions, about people and their life style, about the different marriage tradition and how they arrange it. How big the role of parents and other family members is in the marriage decision. How it is looks like? I have lots of Indian movies and got an idea about these. Now I can discuss thing with my Indian friend. Besides that, I have seen couple of German films. Through those I have learnt a lot about German history, German culture, punctuality and discipline. I have an imagination about, how it is looks like. I think films are very necessary in life regarding learning. I have seen it, if you do not remain update with films, you feel yourself out of place in a gathering. On the hand, I agree that not every film is educative some times it also can give a wrong picture of a country because films are not always based on the realty. So, it is depends up on what kind of a film a person watching. Essay 930 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? In our days TV and the cinema are important mediums to get informed and relaxed. Every evening we can see films which were made in different countries. In a certain extent it is true that we can learn a lot about the country where the film was made. The first point I would like to mention is the location. American films for example are made in America itself. So we can see the landscape there, e. g. the beaches in California or the big city centers like New York or Washington. Secondly, a film present a specific topic. This topic is often related to the social and cultural background of the country. That For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org means the film tells us a story in a special environment. So we can watch people living in slums or visiting colleges and high schools, e. g. in the film merican pie? And thirdly, a very important fact which support the statement that a film tells a lot about a country, is that a film often have an historical background. This gives information about history and the behavior of the people. For instance the film arafina?present the situation in the slum oweto?during the time where Nelson Mandela was in prison. Furthermore, a film shows the behavior of the people and the lifestyle. So we can regard specific customs, like the tea time in England and we can get a look into the houses or flats of the people there. So, to sum up and to make the point, I think a film, especially the historic ones, can tell a lot about the country where the film was made. Essay 931 Topic 183 What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? As a means of art, movies are derived from life and express a lot of things of life. To a country, a movie that it make tell people many things about itself, such as culture, history, civilization etc. In my mind, first of all, movies always reflect the most popular topics of the country which make it. To American, esire? uzzle? deal? ompetition?may be the permanent themes of the movies. From the September 11th, last year. More and More movies which claim anti-terrorism emerged, such as ollateral damage? etc. From these movies, it is not difficult to see, how deeply the terrorism affected the whole country and how anxious the people`s demand of anti-terrorism is. Moreover, through watching a movie we can learn a period of specific history of the country. Many people may be familiar with the movie aterloo Bridge? the background of the movie is just around the World second war when Japan attacked Hawaii of America. It was very vivid to describe the story which happened in that age. I was moved by this movie and learned a lot of knowledge about that period of history. It is more effective and efficient than any history book. Since movies are derived from life, they reflect many aspects of people`s life. merican pie?describes a group of high school students` life before they went to universities. It is very helpful for us to learn about how American high school `s students think about love, happy and relationship between they and their parents. On the other hand, he Bridges of Madison county?depicts a moving story about a middle-aged lady. From her sacrifice behavior, we realized an American women`s attitude to family and her notion towards love. Really, movies give us different experiences and efficient ways to learn about a country. Even we have never been to the country or traveled there, we still can learn a lot of things of it from a movie. . person to the civil war, even an animal, like the panda of China, they are all part of the culture. A film`s subject must have something to do with one of. moral can be the subject of movies, so from movies, I can know more about each part of a country, the way people live, act, talk, and think.
