Thai Month / Songkran Month April is Thai month. You might wonder, why April? The answer is April is the month of Songkran festival, which is the Thai New Year festival. The festival usually starts on 13rd of April every year. This usually continues for a week (or more!) depending on where you are; the middle parts of Thailand tend to finish later on around 25th. Many people know of Songkran as a water festival, where people come out of their homes to have water fights on the streets. We use containers (e.g. a garbage can and a bowl), to hurl water at people. This helps us to stay cool in the middle of April, when the weather is hottest and most humid. Water fights also provide a good opportunity for family members to have fun as a family. When I was a child, I remember sitting and waiting for my cousins to arrive on the first day of Songkran, and wishing Songkran could last forever! Those were the days… There is another aspect, a spiritual aspect, to the Songkran festival. The Thai people are mostly Buddhists, and they usually take this opportunity to make merit (do good deeds) at their local Wat (temple) in the early morning on the first day of Songkran. We believe in karma, and that making merit at the beginning of the year will bring luck and happiness. After we finish at the temple, we return home to be with our family, especially our elders. Then, traditionally, they bless us, and splash a Thai perfume on us, as a symbol of good fortune. After that, it is time to enjoy food, drink, and especially water fights, in order to celebrate the rest of Songkran; the best holiday in Thailand. This is going to be the third consecutive Songkran that I will miss. If you have a chance to visit Thailand, please consider joining in and getting wet during Songkran. You will have fun, learn about Thai culture, make many friends, and bring back many fun memories. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Thai month reminds me of the goodtime in Thailand. It is the Songkran month.

essay, line graph The graphs illustrate the numbers of goods were transported by 4 different types of transportation in the UK between 1974 and 2002. The figures are given in per million tones. Roughly, it can be seen that transportation via using road was the most popular, followed by water, rail and pipeline methods. The number of goods transported by motors where the highest of all time. In 1990, it started at about 70, which were as twice as those were shipped by boats and trains (about 40) before rising steadily to 80 until 1994. It all so increased dramatically in the last 8 year and finished at just a little under 100 in 2002. Between 1978 and 1982, the goods transported by ships increased sharply to about 60 and remained constant until 1994 before experienced a minimal drop in 1998 and then a significant increase, during the last 4 years, ending up at about 62. In contrast, the number of good being transported by railway decreased steadily to above 30 in 1984 and faced with a fluctuate trend between 1984 and 1995 before, recovering to where it started in 1974. Finally, the number of good shipped by pipeline was the smallest number when it stared (4-5) but it had been increasing steadily over the decade to a little above 20, interestingly, not like the others, and remained the same in the rest of the time frame. hi everyone, please help me out to correct the essay

Technology Technology improved dramatically for a decade. The demand of access to technology using in everyday life increasing sharply, which can be seen by the millions of purchased cell-phones of developing country. And in the 21st century, no one can deny that it has changed people life in many ways, especially how they interact with people in their society. However, the rising question is that has advanced technology helped to develop humankind? Or just made it worse? Personally, I believe the answer should be “yes” it has literally developed in positive ways. This is because several obvious implications among unites of society such as family, couples, and friendships.

which way we should go (introduction) If there is a question asking me that which direction that Thailand should develop between business sectors and agriculture sectors, personally, the answer will be the agriculture sectors. Although economy in some big cities in Thailand such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai is now growing dramatically, there are still have many reasons why these sectors have to be amended, namely the prosperity of sources in Thailand, the precious ancestral knowledge of farming and consistency of culture that will be strong foundations to succeed among global world.

Why we go to university? Nowadays, almost everyone go to university. It have been long time, at least in Thailand, that people who are able to work in a good position in a good company have to finish their degrees. In my view, going to university has a lot of advantages, namely upgrading knowledge, finding some connections and getting new experience. However, there are some drawbacks such as lacking of practical skills and improper method of learning for some people. University and college are the most perfect places for getting professional knowledge. Cutting-edge technology and new knowhow are found most in university because there are many sophisticated professors who try to research for deep and specific subjects. In addition, brand new tools and supportive equipment encourage students to learn quickly and efficiently. Moreover, being with students who have the same interests will push them to achieve their gold. Another good reason why people have to go to university is connections. Students can get some connections while there are studying. It is likely that people who attain the same class support each other when they grow up. Besides, fresh graduates might get some benefits form their alumnus by getting a good job or technical support. Student can also earn precious experiences when they are in university. There are many activities that amend students to be more mature and be ready for working life. Doing some activities such as living in a dormitory, joying a cheering club can literally improve their social skills. Being a volunteer implant a seed of good citizen for their society. This is an advantage that is beyond aspect of higher education. However, going to college does guarantee a successful life. Some say going to university lead to lack of practical skill, fresh graduates of some engineering courses, for instance, find it is difficult to deal with real problems on there working site because they just have learnt technical knowledge but not practical. What is more, some very successful people such Steep Jobs also did not finish his degree. Nevertheless, such a case is rarely to happen and most of the graduates always find jobs easier than those who do not have a certificate paper. In conclusion, I think that benefits of higher education outweighs going straight to work or serve military after finishing high school since students can get significant improvements in terms of knowledge, job opportunities and invaluable experiences.

why people should ride a bicycle Many people think that new technology of transportation provides a lot safer standards for life. In contrast, it seems to be that new vehicles can travel more dangerously. The faster vehicles can travel the more risks for people onboard. No one cannot deny that some high-tech systems such as air bags, anti-lock system and auto break have prevented and safe people from fatal injuries when an accident happened. Nevertheless, top speed of vehicle has also risen exponentially. 50 years ago, the fasted car or the world can run at the top speed of 50 kph but a minimum top speed for a supper car is 300 kph nowadays. Thank to those engineer who are very clever in using petroleum fuel in there combustion engines, No one can survive, if the car clashes, although it has the best safety system. On the other hand, travelling by a bicycle is safer by a low speed from human muscles can prevent people from a severe accident. Moreover, in a big city, which has a lot of traffic jam, bicycle can be a very fast way to get to a destiny.
