Why don't didn't I have a real friends?

I have really needed a real friend since I was in elementary school, but I have never been found one. Sometimes, I think that someone is my real friend, but he/she never thinks  the same about like that to me. So, I really don't know when I will meet a real friend in my life.

Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.



It is an indisputable fact that after the appearance of human beings appearance, the Earth has been explored in many places. On the other hand, the human activity has had have a detrimental impact on our planet. In my opinion, the more expeditions that we make on Earth we make, the more we do harm to it we do.

First, global warming, which is the hottest (or, 'a popular/hot issue at the moment') issue, starts from our productive and living activities and living activities. For instance, when we burn fossil fuel, such as oil, coal and gas, and when we cut down and destroy the forest with fire, we will release a huge amount of carbon dioxide. As a result, our planet is warming up faster day by day, and our activities have been causing serious problems in our environment.

Moreover, not only did we have an influence on the environs, but we also we did affect on plants and animals. In 2012, plenty of fish died due to the polluted water at West Lake in Hanoi Capital, which is contaminated with 4000m3 water pollutants per day from restaurants, and from lakeshore living activities.

Therefore, I strongly believe that our beautiful planet is being damaged by our activities. In short, stopping the above mentioned damage and others is an urgent requirement, which needs all of us to contribute give hands to. Will our Whether future generations will have to face with the Doomsday or not – depends on our action today.

On Choosing Friends (you may use either capital letters or lowercase letters for both 'choosing' and 'friends')

A life without a friend is a life without a sun. Friends are is necessary in one's life. When it comes to choosing friends, some of us will choose a friend who is are similar to us, while others will choose a friend who is different from us. In my opinion, I prefer to choose a friend who is similar to me, although a friend who is different will help lead me to fully enjoy a new life (or "new experiences").

We can achieve mutual understanding if my friend is similar to me. I have a best friend, she is very much like me, which lead us means that we feel comfortable with each other and understand each other’s feelings. Whenever I am sad or happy, she not only knows my feelings, but also knows how to share with me. So, the essential points for friendship are is understanding and being able to share happiness and sadness.

If I choose a friend similar to me, there is no doubt that we will share many common interests. Based on the same views about things, we may appreciate and enjoy the same kinds of things. On the other hand, if a friend is different from me, she will dislike what I appreciate and enjoy what I disagree with. 

Thus, I will choose a friend who is similar to me rather than a friend who is different from me.

Note: Make sure you always leave a space after a full stop or a comma. This is very important.

Happiness

It is right to say that happiness is very important in life. Because happiness is so important, people find it difficult to define exactly defining what happiness exactly is. Everyone has different standards ideas about how to be happy and what defines when we are really happy. While some people think that fortune equals to happiness, others think it lies in stable relationships between friends and family rather than having lots of money.

Through different people's definitions about of happiness, we find a variety which lead a various of pathways to achieve happiness. For everyone, no matter what your definition of happiness is are, the most important factor, I think, is to find out who you are. We have all had grown up under all with different kinds of backgrounds. If you used to starve, you may think that there's nothing better than having have delicious meals everyday . And if you used to live in a fabulous city apartment, you may find out that how much you are enjoying the peaceful life in a small village. Anyway, you must figure out what you truly want from your inner self.

Of course, factors such as the harmony of our out society, and our physical health of our body and our abilities ability of ourself all contribute to our happiness too. Having a clear sense of what our purpose is our task can also be an important factor. A good plan can help us make much wiser decisions much wiser and get good results.

In my view, we can't achieve happiness by dreaming about what we could possess. We must do something so that we can get closer to happiness. A Real happiness must be the happiness that you'd like to strive for. Happiness doesn't find you, you find it them. So, it's time to get ready for achieving happiness!

Practice #6 or Example 6 or Exercise #6

To show kids the difference between good and bad behaviour is something that every parent needs to do, starting from when their children are very young. Personally, I think that sometimes it needs to be accompanied by some form of discipline to specifically straighten out a wrong action.

Society functions based on rules that define bad and good actions, the good actions allowing us a better interaction with each other. Clarifying what those rules are is a necessary step that sometimes need to be learned at home or school. In my country, it's very common for kids to learn basic rules at home and then to have those rules reinforced at school by way of a subject called 'Civic Education.'

Some parents think that in order to teach their children to differentiate between good and bad actions, kids need to be punished when they do something wrong. I agree that it's right to punish children, but not with violence. Rather, children need to learn to avoid wrong actions through the use of discipline that educates or with specific restrictions. I'm referring to the kind of clear penalties that restrict specific actions, for example:  "Because you did ... you're not allowed to video games", or "Because of this, you're not allowed to go out with your friends".

In conclusion, teaching our children to differentiate between good and bad actions is something necessary in our society. Parents need to be the first to teach their children, perhaps with the use of discipline, but definitely without the use of violence.

Hi José,

Your writing is very interesting and well-written. Because italki user 'James' has already provided you with a good technical correction of your text, I thought you may find it helpful to read a version with some stylistic changes suggested, which use natural English expressions.

All the best,

Harriet
