OPINION ESSAY - LAKE MONSTER OR YOUR OWN SHADOW

      Do you know how to find ,discover and investigate legendary lake monsters? Further investigation about the existence of the legendary lake monsters should be concerned and done in order to let us know more about their living behavior .This is to ensure a balanced and harmonious ecosystem formed between human and the monsters .They ways of investigation the existence of the legendary lake monsters are  using a hydrophones system ,operating a deepscan operation ,and carrying out a submersible investigation.

      One of the most effective ways is using an advanced and high-tech device or system calledhydrophones (underwater microphones) .It can be deployed at intervals throughout the UTP lake and anchored in 700 feet (210 m) of water. Two hydrophones are secured into the lake. After two nights of recording, the tape (sealed inside a 44 gallon drum along with the system's other sensitive components) will retrieve and play . If any "knocks" and "clicks" are recorded by one of the hydrophones in the lake ,it is indicative of echolocation. These sounds are followed by a "turbulent swishing" suggestive of the tail locomotion of a large aquatic animal. The knocks, clicks and resultant swishing are believed are the sounds of an animal echo-locating prey before moving in for the kill. They ways of investigation the existence of the legendary lake monsters are

      Besides , a deepscan operation can be taken place to find these monsters . Twenty-four boats equipped with echosounder equipment can be deployed across the whole width of the UTP lake and they will simultaneously send out acoustic waves. After analysing the echosounder images via the acoustic waves, the structures and movements of the huge aquatic creatures can be detected .It can easily scan out the physical appearances and living  behaviors of the monsters .
      Moreover ,having a submersible investigation is also a ways to discover and investigate the lake monsters .An experimental submarine which is equipped by sensitive sensors and in a positively buoyant condition can be used to observe the habitat of the monsters in the lake .As this submarine is almost entirely on a suite of active sonars ,it is easy to find the track of the lake monsters although is in hundreds meters below the lake .Also ,the submarine pilots should not have to worry about the attack of the fearsome monsters as the overall protection of the submarine is trustworthy .
      As a conclusion ,the ways mentioned above can be used to investigate the existence and living behavior of the legendary lake monsters in UTP lake .

School Problems With Student Behavior


Negative student behavior in school environment has become alarmingly high about which many people are concerned. School managers mention the steady growth of these trends will damage the education system. I believe that you can find the reasons of this disorder in our educational environments and non-qualified teachers.

It is strongly proved that the atmosphere has a significant effect on human reactions. Low air quality standards, lacking of air conditioning, insufficient space for playing, crowded environments are some examples that scientists have proven to be linked to students behavior. The reason is that students are young and energetic so they need to have more outdoor activities. Governments should modify school standards and allocate more subsidies to school managers to reorganize the facilities and space and also to change the shape of our educational area from an office to a calm place for our students.

Besides that, most of our teachers and school managers are not qualified personnel. Statistics show that just three out of twenty five teachers in my country have passed mental related courses and are familiar with some basic needs of students and youngsters. The results attributed to our school managers is worst by just three persons out of a hundred which indicates that there is a strong demand for using of psychologists and educational consultants to plan a appropriate program.

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend ?

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend ?


On 4 April, 2012, a survey was conducted in Lecture Room 3, Block N, Universiti Teknologi Petronas to find out how many of the students have boyfriends or girlfriends. The respondent were the students of Universiti Teknologi Petronas which consists of 8 female and 21 male including 1 international male student. The students were all from various races and religious in Malaysia. The age of the respondent was in the range of 17 to 21 years old. The survey was carried out by giving the survey form to the entire respondents who was sitting in a big circle and they answer the question by sequence.

After the survey had finished, the answer from the respondent were calculated and analyzed. The results were then converted in percentage form to make it easier for readers to understand and make comparison. It was a great result that I gain when only 72.4% of the respondent do not have boyfriends or girlfriends while 27.6% have boyfriends or girlfriends. 72.4% out of 29 respondents is equal to 21 people while 27.6% is equal to 8 people.

It is not wrong to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend but parents have to keep an eye on their children so that they will not be influenced by the westerner's cultures which may lead to social problems. Therefore, each and everyone of us should have good manners and live a healthy life.

VEGETABLE RECIPE : ASPARAGUS RECIPE






Selland's market-cafe in Sacramento is an uncommonly good café and often a source of inspiration for foods to prepare. Recently I had some of their asparagus and loved the texture - slightly crunchy (definitely not mushy!) - and the hint of lemon flavor along with the olive oil and Parmesan. Upon inquiry I was told that the asparagus had indeed been parboiled for 2 minutes and then tossed with Parmesan, olive oil, and some lemon zest. So easy!


Asparagus Recipe
Cook time: 10 minutes


INGREDIENTS
1 bunch of medium sized asparagus, about 1 lb
2 Tbsp of the most exquisite extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon lemon zest - freshly grated lemon rind
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


METHOD
1 Prepare the asparagus by rinsing them thoroughly, break off any tough, white bottoms and discard. Cut into 1 to 2 inch sections, slicing the asparagus at a slight diagonal.
2 Fill a medium sized saucepan half way with water, bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and reduce heat slightly to a simmer. Parboil the asparagus for exactly 2 minutes. Drain the hot water. While the asparagus are still hot, toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, Parmesan, and lemon rind. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or room temperature.
Note that when you are working with so few ingredients, it's important to make sure they are of the highest quality.
Yield: Serves 4.

Argumentative Essay: Woman should never give up their job after giving birth

Argumentative Essay: Woman should never give up their job after giving birth by Haiqal Rosli

            Do you really think that woman should quit job after their first delivery? Every woman gives birth after they married, including working women. So should they just give up their job after having children? I really think that woman shouldn’t quit job just after first delivery. The next three paragraphs will elaborate about the effects of this issue on the nation’s birth rate and the family happiness also the commitment of a working mother.

             The country’s birth rate would be affected because of this issue. Working women who refused to have children because of their career would reduce the birth rate for the country. This would result on negative affects because the country will experience lack of labourer for industrial purpose in the future. Lack of local labourer will make us relay on foreign labourer. Low birth rate also would result on slow population growth. When the population is too low compared to the resources, the efficiency of managing the resources will become low and the economy growth will become slow.

            Moreover, this issue also will affect the happiness in a family. Everyone dreams to have a loving family whom they will share their life with. But if women need to choose between her career and having children, this would give bad affect to the family happiness. If the husband really wanted to have children, the wife will face a great dilemma. Having children will guarantee a family happiness. Without them, a family will appear incomplete. Like a big piece of life has been taken away. This eventually will make woman become stressed and unhappy with her life. So a woman shouldn’t choose between her career and her family because she deserves both.

A working mother has two commitments. One is for work and one is for her family. It is normal that everyone has more than one commitment in their life. So why a woman should choose between work and having a family? Statistic shows that majority women in Malaysia are working mothers but still they could maintain their career and be a good mother to their children. Many successful women today are a mother. However, a housewife will have plenty of time with her children compared to a woman with a career. Woman with career need to divides her attention, while a housewife doesn’t have to do that. A housewife will give her full attention to her family thus keeping her family happy.

So as a conclusion, there are many cons than pros if all the women should choose between her career and family. I really think that women should have both of them because they really deserve it. I hope that one day women could find a better way to live and work without sacrificing either one.
