Personal response. Nurzaida Syaza Zawawi IB 95 I would strongly disagree with the statement “uniforms interfere with students’ freedom of self expression” as I am positive that uniform would somehow trigger students to excel academically. Students are teenagers who tend to be fashion-victims and their desire to be up-to-date with the flow of fashion would never fade away. Hence‚ they may be less likely to take school seriously as most of them are keen to look good rather than to have fantastic

„The key to revitalizing a language is by motivating a new generation of speakers.” The first question that must be considered is the fact that over the last decade‚ the dominance of English as a major international language has significantly increased. This phenomenon did not only limit the use of variety of languages but also led to their extinction. Many languages are dying out due to the process of globalization and internationalism. For this reason‚ there has been introduced an attempt

Derek and Danny Vinyard‚ brothers‚looked up to the wrong people. A very right-winged man managed to twist their thoughts and did the same thing to them that Hitler did to the masses. They and their fellows are feeling as a part of a community that is exploited by people who do not have the right to do so: Illegal immigrants‚ the Black‚ the Yellow and all the others who use their minority position to extract rights over the Whites from it - or so they are convinced. So‚ hatred against the "others"

I agree with this assessment of Bishop’s poetry. Her poems on the syllabus certainly pose interesting questions about identity‚ awareness and one’s place in the world‚ indeed the universe‚ and they do so by means of a unique style.
