Opinion essay:
Is it important that people stay informed?
Nowadays mostly everybody wants to be informed. That’s why you can get your information’s from wherever you want (the newspaper, the television, the radio or even the internet). But what news can do generally? And why is it so popular for us to be informed?
In listening paragraph I list my ideas in logical order. First I want to start with the democracy (politics). I am convinced that there would be many problems if the democracy and the politics wouldn’t get criticised in the media. Because of the television for example, hardly any powerful politician is able to make something wrong without causing a stir. I am unsure how these guys would abuse their authority if they wouldn’t be watched by the media… To give another example I will take a firm stand to the free election. Moreover it is very important to know enough information about the party you will vote. In the media we usually hear not only the good aspects of them and that’s also very important, because they are our future!
Second there is the social aspect why we should be informed. You should be able to communicate and discuss about controversial issues with friends, your partner or even strangers. It is always good having a theme about you can talk which is not the job. People who are “up to date” get mostly categorised as well educated and this is a nice side action isn’t it?
Finally I want to tell about why it is good for ourselves to be informed.
News can influence us. This is due to our own experiences and our attitude we had before we were reading an article for example. It’s also the guilt of the reporter who is able to influence the reader. Maybe he conceals the reader from something or gave a false colour? On the one side there is this bad aspect, but on the other side it’s necessary for educating ourselves, to build our own opinion or to find new aspects or new arguments.
To sum up, I want to say that I personally would never forbear from reading the newspaper, or staying informed with television. Because I want to be informed about all the good and bad things happens on our world. Only if people are informed they could have profound and actual discusses or get new aspects which could change the mind they had before. The most important reason we should be informed about our world is that we are only able to change something, if we know about a problem or dubious activities of some politicians…

Graph "Smokers"
It’s quite shocking to note that there is a more negative result I ever thought. 17 of 100 respondents fewer than 16 years are smokers! A high number if you know that smoking is only allowed with 16 years (in some countries even with 18 or 21). You can also see: The number of smoker is getting higher and higher the older the respondents get. This bar chart shows us that the most smokers are between 18 and 20 years old. If you look at this it’s conspicuous that the number of smokers is getting lower by the 21 or older people. All in all the result of this poll is quite simply shocking.

BOYS IN THE HOOD
Group 1: What kind of lessonds does Furious Styles teach his sin Tre.
Do they guarantee a better life?
-> Show respect (3 rules)
1.) Look people onto their eyes | leading person-> doesn’t be lead by others
2.) Stealing is not necessary | Rule is self reliance
3.) Show everybody respect who respects you back
Black add white persons have different aims (e.g. the Army)
-> What a real man is
• real men are allowed to have kids
• trying to be responsible
• take care on children, family, job
• you have to know your problem and not these from the other ones (Ricky: shooting)
-> better think at your future
• structure life
• leader (leadership)
• work is not dirty- it is important (have to be done by society)
• black/white: respect soldiers; stealing is not necessary, brotherhood (not hate black people, you should understand them
• not only put your dick in women -> there is more than that
In our opinion, the rules of Furious Styles do guarantee a better life. Not for nothing he is one of the few survivors. It was absolutely right, to went out of the car and let adjust Ricky’s brother the situation on himself. It was his problem- not the problem of Tre

Pro-Con essay
Pro/Con – essay
“The struggle for beauty”
We live in a world that strives for perfection. For hundreds of years, beauty was very important for the human being- especially for women. In this text I will show you my attitudes and the advantages and disadvantages of this hard contested “Struggle for Beauty”.
To start with, I want to tell you some good aspects for striving for perfection. There is this nice feeling of happiness if you are able to see your perfect image in the mirror after put your face on for example. Therefore I would say that it is the success, which makes us happy. It involves self confidence and the feeling of being accepted. But we have to ask ourselves if it is really right to distinguish the well- dressed people from the others who are not able to buy expensive designer clothes. There are also ugly people wearing expensive clothes, whereas there are also beauties of natures, which are not wearing Ed Hardy. So are they not called beautiful now, because they didn’t buy the latest fad of New York?! The same with the surgery’s. There are two different types of surgeries. Plastic surgery, which is only for those that their body conforms to the current ideal of beauty, or the restorative surgery for people with burnt skin for example. On the one hand a woman with breasts Cup C is not getting discriminated usually. An accident victim on the other hand, is ogled by everyone. Such people could be helped with a surgery, because it will help them physically.
There are also some important disadvantages to this struggle. Think at the scars from botched plastic surgeries, or other body distortions. From this follows, that those victims are getting more psychological problems, than they had before.
It is obvious, that there are also negative aspects about the world, where everything can be modified for the sake of perfection. At this point, I will take the example with perfect looking cover girls on the magazines. They became idols for most of us. So we start with unhealthy diets and never get happy, because we are not getting as thin as those anorexic models. I strongly believe that we forgot that having a charismatic personality and a healthy dose of self – esteem is also a part of beauty!
To sum up, I would say that each is a mixed bag of positive and negative aspects. But all in all we should decide what is good for us and what only makes us only sick. Trends are changing-> our personality and friendships stay.

Beauty
Social pressure and beauty for teens
Pro:
- Fashion labels concerns get rich (good for business)
- Everybody is looking for themselves (hygiene, fashion…)
- Boots self- confidence
- Beauty is success in our society, so why shouldn’t people make them beauty?
- Because of the high demand, there is more work for people
- We live in a free country, so everyone should be allowed to do with his/her body whatever he/she likes
Con:
- Social pressure because it’s not their own wish
- It’s a big risk to undergo surgery
- Addiction
- Teens haven’t finish their growth, so their body still changes
- You don’t get addicted, if you don’t look good
- A lot of teens buy more clothes than they have money
- Maybe they change their opinion, when they’re older, so it’s not good to change your body in this age
- Teenagers get influenced by advertisements
Additional thoughts:
- Personality is changing
- Will there always be the same beauty ideal?
- Will the surgery age go down?
- Will beauty be the most important thing in life?
- Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?
- If you want to do that you do it, no matter if your mother also had a plastic surgery or not.
- Teenagers exaggerate with the beauty ideals

Dear L3 Advertising!
Complaint letter
I want to complain how women are presented in your advertise.
The way I see it, today every woman has got the freedom of speech and the chance to go working instead doing the chores, it is an unbounded cheek to put the women back in front of the cooker in your advertises!
When I was watching television, suddenly the film got disturbed by some advertising spots. It was really conspicuous, how many household articles were shown there and there always were women only, presenting these products. In my opinion, you should not forget the fact, that all has been changing, hasn’t it? Above all the typical roles of men and women have changed. Today also the woman is earning money and the man is looking after the kids. I dare to say, that housemen could be as good as women, but their self confidence is not getting higher, if they have to see this perfect women in the advertising every day. He maybe feels unaccepted, because according to the television, only women are the experts in the household.
In the end I can say, that I am very glad about the changing from past to now. I am also sure, that it would be better to support house men, instead discriminate women and try to bring them back to their old roles!
Fatihfully yours
Sarah K.
