As I read thoroughly the two articles‚ which are called “ English seen as a Co-star among Global Language” and “Can English be Dethroned”‚ I’ve found out that people more commonly accept using English as a second language in the 21st century. We all understand the fact that English has been growing in popularity largely as economic globalization is getting bigger. The benefits of English as a common language for communication and interaction far outweigh any

When readers of Ayn Rand’s novel‚ The Fountainhead‚ first encounter Gail Wynand‚ he is often misinterpreted to be a reflection of the standard selfish businessman who gains pleasure from having power over others and enjoys manipulating people to his will. But when his motivations are fully analyzed it is revealed that he is not‚ in fact‚ selfish; rather‚ he is a precise example of a second-hander – one who only does things and makes progress through others. This second-handedness is what brings him

Coming On Stage My trip to New York with my choir‚ I visited Carnegie hall to sing on stage. Coming on stage was the scariest feeling knowing I have a part to sing by myself (A solo).

The ‘coming of age’ moments and epiphanies I’ve experienced have been very impactful to me. These significant events of my life impacted my ‘coming of age’ by showing me I am able to responsibly and effectively take on the task at hand and I am able to prove to myself and others I can do something I wasn’t able to do in the past. Ever since my birth in 2002‚ these ‘coming of age’ moments have defined who I am and who I will become‚ suchlike when I went on my first mission trip. I had no idea what
