In universities' FLE departments, literature courses should be compulsory as they are very important for students. FLE department students will be teachers in the near future, and as it is taught in educational sciences lessons, one of the most critical features of effective teachers is general culture which is mostly provided by literature. Literature is not about only reading a poem or a novel and make comments about them or memorizing some poets or authors, their birthdays or their lives... It's about understanding what they are saying and using them in our lives, it's about having different points of view and widening our horizons. So we can not do this by reading on our own as some people suggest.
Those people who doesn't want to take these lessons also say that they don't like these lessons, they find them boring and hard.. I think this idea is nonsense as nobody told them that university will always be enjoyable and easy. Everything has a price and if we want something, we should pay for it just like we have to endure these difficulties and work hard if we want to be successful as teachers.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia is morally and ..... incorrect, thus it should be forbidden. Euthanasia is doctor-controlled-killing process, and I think there's nothing that can make killing legal and acceptable.
Some people say that euthanasia should be legal because there can be some people who can not find enough money to continue the treatment of their ill relatives(because of high cost of hospital and medicines) and instead of not being able to help them or watching them suffer and die slowly, they prefer them die in a painless way. Do you really think that this is right? I think this is just laziness... There are charities that give economical support to people in such situations, and governments usually give some financial help.
Another thing is that, they say "
another reason is that the family suffers". Just because the families suffer and they get upset and tired from taking care of an ill person doesn't mean that it's necessary to kill them. This reason is very selfish as it's the families' and relatives' duty, responsibility to take care of them, anyway.
The last reason is that they say there's no chance of recovery. At this point I want to ask whether these people have ever read a newspaper or watched news, because there are thousands of people who recoverd from a so-called-incurable illness. And there's no way to know for sure who's going to die or live. So it's meaningless to kill someone with the help of doctors and medicines and making it legal as there's no reasonable explanation to make it right.

It's a fact that we travel a lot in our lives for different reasons, for pleasure or business or school or etc. And for our travel, one of the things about which we think hard is the question "How we should go there?". Bus and plane are the most given answers to this questions, but which one is better?
Both bus and plane has their own advantages and disadvantages. For example plane is faster, helps us save time, it's more comfortable, enables us to sleep and doesn't cause backache. It is also safer in terms of having an accident. On the other hand, the plane tickets are always more expensive, and as not all the cities has suitable weather conditions all the time, there can be delays, also for a person with acrophobia, all the journey can turn into a nightmare.
What about bus travel? As everybody knows it takes longer but you can do many things in that time. Maybe it's not very comfortable but there's no hierarchy like first class part and others and it's more candid. But it's hard to find tickets in holidays and on weekends. And you may not be able to sleep because of the irresponsible person sitting on the seat in front of you who lays his seat on you.
As I've just mentioned, both planes and busses have pros and cons, so the choice is yours. :)

Sometimes while playing Second Life, we can get bored and look for a good place to visit.Today, I have found two great places for such situations. One of them is a place covered with the pure white of the snow and has all the beauties of winter. There are a couple of artificial waterfalls that completes the gorgeousness. It also has a library that you can benefit from and in which you can find many kinds of things, books organized according to their categories. on the other hand, the other place that I found is full of green, it's spring time I think and green grasses and flowers are all around. you can enjoy the sunny, warm weather there and wander around in the loveliness of the nature. Also the lake with a couple of houses around is a good place to relax. So, in different aspects, they both are good and eligible.
