Nuclear technology has been developing rapidly over the years. The development of nuclear technology is considered as one of the most important new invention in the world. Existing application of nuclear technology like deadly weapon, in fact, lead to the peace of the world. Nuclear technology delivers many advantages rather than the drawbacks.
First and foremost, Nuclear technology is one of the cleanest ways to produce electricity. Nuclear energy produces electricity by fission of uranium not the burning of fuels. As a result, it does not create air pollution and neither contribute to urban smog or acid rain. Moreover, nuclear power produces frugal energy. With a growing of population and increasing reliance on electric devices, the world will need more and more electricity. Fossil fuels as a energy resource is getting less recently and soon becoming rare. Nuclear energy can be alternative energy resource to solve the problem.
The main disadvantage of using nuclear technology is public fear of the unpredictable consequences caused by using nuclear energy. Many people around the globe believe that there are hidden dangers scientists may have overlooked, and that they may cause serious damage to human livelihood, wildlife and ultimately the world. But, by the new technology, the risks can be further reduced and simultaneously operating more safely than ever before.
It is clear that using nuclear technology delivers many benefit to the world. People should use this technology for the right and appropriate goals.

Essay [Forcing People Aged 55 Years and Above to Retire and Replacing Them With Younger Generation]
In the current economic climate, where jobs in many industries are under threat, some commentators have suggested that people aged 55 years and above should be forced to retire and be replaced by younger generation.
To what extend do you agree with this statement?
Many industries are in very serious problem recently due to economic climate recently. some people argue that one of the solutions is to retire people aged 55 above and hire younger employees. I tend to disagree for that solution for the following reasons.
First and foremost, people's abilities do not relate to their ages. The idea that the older the people, the weaker they are in terms of abilities and skills might be not acceptable. Many leaders in the world aged 55 above are great leaders. They have tremendous skills to manage their organizations. moreover, they have more experiences of life than young people, as the result they are more well prepared when they face problems.
Base on their physical body, 55 year old people can perform well. By this i mean, they are still able to work as hard and fit as young people, apparently. Undoubtedly, young people are eager to get new experiences at work, and their fresh ideas are needed by the companies. If both knowledge and power of young and old generation are combined, it is conceivable that may lead companies to be more productive. The synergy between them can serve a tremendous help in encouraging problems in companies.
In brief, forcing people aged 55 above to retire and replacing them with younger generation is not acceptable to be done due to economic problems. Besides the reason of that base on their ages does not really make sense, it indeed also discrimination.

Essay
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 :)
