The women position in society has gradually changed nowadays. However, many problems of teenagers, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that they have working mother and do not have enough time to get care from their mother.

Some people argue for that statement above for the reason that they think working mother do not have enough time to care for their children. They spend almost their time everyday at work, and when they are back, they will be so tired and cranky. The responsibility for child rearing, they delegate it to babysitters, as a consequence children grow up with lack of parental guidance. As the result, they feel lonely and unacceptable at home, then they try to find a way to protest their parents by doing something negative, such as smoking, drugs and free sex.

There also some good reasons why women decided to work. One of it is to support their financial. Father as a bread winner has not enough income to cover all the family's necessities, then mother try to support it by working. Moreover, globalization has also changed women position in society. Men and women consider to have the same right in terms of implementing their skills and abilities. Being a career women is one of the way to express their self.

It is clear that there are some good arguments on both side, but the most important is women should know their priorities whether to have a good career or to take care their children. They should consider their children indeed need their fully attention. Children's future are on parents' hands.

Imaginary Story

My name is Peter. I am 25 years old and i work for a bank in my town. I am ready to get married and start a family. Unfortunately, I am a little bit shy, so its not easy for me to make relationship. It is not because I am not a nice person, but because I am not brave to approach a woman I like.

One day, i decided to join a speed dating party in my town. I met one woman who matches my criteria. Her name is Marry, she is 24 years old. She lives in the countryside, does not really like to go out, and prefers staying at home. We agreed to meet at her house after that. I was really nervous because it would be my first date after a long time.

I woke earlier on the saturday. I prepared everything for the date. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates, and a bottle of wine were ready to carry out. I stayed alone at my apartment, so brought my dog along with me. I was afraid he would make may apartment messy if i left him alone.

On the way to marry's house, i was thinking about what I would do. I made some plan to do together. I imagined that we would hold hands together walking in the countryside. Having lunch in front of her house was also in my head. I hope it would be a perfect date.

I arrived her house at 10 am. She was waiting for me in front of the door. I was so excited. I was holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates and smiled at her. My dog also got out of my car and followed me. Shockingly, he ran so fast to marry. I forgot that she had two cats, and my dog ran to catch them. It was really embarrassing. My dog had ruined my date by breaking all the flowers vases and fighting with her cats.

Growing Up In A Big City And Growing Up In A Small Town Or Village

Growing up in a big city and in a small town or village are different, both bring their own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to say whether growing up in a big city has more advantages than growing up in a small town or village or vise versa.

The first aspect that i am going to discuss is the difference in terms of population. The population in a big city is bigger and more diversity than in a small city or village. Children in a big city have more opportunities to interact with different communities; as a result they are better at adapting to other people.

Facilities is the second aspect. It is obvious that big cities have more facilities, such as schools, hospitals, supermarkets, public transportations, etc. In big cities, there are wide range of schools for children to choose. Also, most of prestigious schools are located in big cities; as a result children who grow up in big cities can have a better education. In addition, the facilities like hospitals, supermarkets, public transportations, etc make living in big cities is more convenient in everyday life. The development of technology and telecomunication usually takes place in big cities. It gives more opportunities for children to widen their mind in many aspects that they might not see in the village. Otherwise, many facilities have also increased the living cost in big cities.

The most notable difference between big cities and village is their environment. The environment in big cities are polluted because many cars are driven and many factories exist. Traffic jam and numbers of crime are increasing in big cities. Conversely, in the small towns or villages, children still can find fresh air and have contacts with nature and animals.


However, the place which is as perfect as paradise does not exist in the real world. The most important thing is that we should consider what children's feelings and emotions to know what they really want. Everyone's life is always full of good and bad experiences. The key is to appreciate them and find a way of turning a negative situation into a positive situation.

Plastic Bags

I went to the minimarket near my boarding house yesterday twice. On the way to AIM (My English Course) in the morning, I stopped by for a while to buy a bottle of vitamin C drink. The cashier woman gave me a small plastic bag to wrap it up. In the evening, on the way back home, I went to the same shop again to buy some snacks, and the cashier woman gave me one plastic bag again. I've got 2 plastic bags in one day.
After i've reached my boarding house and got in my room, I saw that I have collected dozens of plastic bags. Most of them were from the same shop.

I remember when I was in China last year. One day, I went to the supermarket to buy my necessities. After I finished shopping some snacks and drinks, i went to the cashier counter directly to pay them all, but the cashier woman didn't give me a plastic bag, so i grabbed one plastic bag near the counter. Shockingly, she shouted some chinese language that i didn't understand at me. To avoid affray, i put the plastic bag back to its place, and carried all the things by my hand.

Later i knew that she didn't angry with me, it was just the chinese people way to talk, loud and fast. Besides that, i understand that we have to pay for each plastic bag we take at any shops in Beijing.
From that incident too, i have learnt that Chinese Government has made regulations to reduce pollutant in Beijing. The consumers have to pay each plastic bag they take in the shops. As the result most people in Beijing bring their own shopping bags if they go to the shops. They prefer using second plastic bags or their own shopping bags than spending their money only for plastic bags.

So, why don't we follow chinese regulations ? Then, we also can solve the problem of plastic pollutant in Jakarta.

And the flood problem can be solved?? Well, it's different problem anyway :)
