One word, both. Social media is a good and bad thing. It's half and half. It's good because it can make connections between people , it's also a easier way of contacting each other. It' also bad because there will be dangerous situations like : Strangers pretending to be someone you know, people posting pictures of you etc.......That's why, social media is a bit of both.
Let's talk about the good side of Social media first. It is a good way of contacting your friends. You can chat with your friends anywhere, and stay in touch. For example ; When your friend goes on vacation, and you miss your friend you could contact her/him through social media instead of spending money on long distance calls. Another thing is that you can share a lot of things with your friends. Like, posting a picture of a place that you've been to, or your brand new pet etc....Most importantly, it links you and your friends together.
Now, onto the bad side of social media. What if a stranger pretends to be someone you know and asks you to meet them, and you thought that was actually your friend, you could get tricked and get kidnapped or something. Also, someone take inappropriate pictures of you without you noticing and posting it on any kind of social media.Then people would stay away from you just because of that picture and they would think that how you actually are. However that's not the most scariest thing. The scariest thing is that you could get cyber bullied and you don't know who's doing it to you. For example ; You could get threats on social media, someone could say mean things about you continuously and you can' t ignore them. They could also post a nasty comment about you and convince a lot of people to turn against you. Something bad could happen to you. So always be careful on social media. You never know. Always be cautious!
Now you know that social media has both sides. It's very good and very bad at the same time. Make sure that you never set your profile picture as your face because someone could search you up. But you could always stay in touch with your friends. So, that's what social media looks like if never been on social media and why it's both good and bad. Always enjoy what's good about it, and always stay safe from what's bad about it!

What's in the beef?
Warning! E. coli is in the beef. The CFIA (Canadian Food
Inspection Agency) has found out that the dangerous toxin know as E Coli has
been making a lot of people sick. It turns out that the XL foods of Brooks, Alberta
are where all the problems started. Luckily we had the CFIA on the case. They
found out what's wrong and now the USA is taking over the operation of
the brooks plant so no more beef will be infected. We were safe from those
bacteria because of the work of the CFIA agents. But what might happen if
we didn't have that team? What would we do without them? Would we still be
safe?
No. I don't think we'll EVER be safe from the E.coil out break if there were no government food inspection agency. What will happen is that people will continue to be sick and the population would decrease. In the article it says “In the U.S, an estimated 73,000 people a year are sickened by the bacteria, and 61 die." That was what was already happening when the CFIA began to investigate. Just imagine how many people would suffer even more if we didn't have a CFIA team? Think about it, if we didn't know where that disease was coming from we don't even know if it contained E.coli or not. We might not even now if it was even THAT harmful. Since so many people are sick and dead. The population would go down as well.
The reason that make me fell reassured about the safety of Canada's food supply is that CFIA has made sure that the problems that had made people sick has been resolved and that the XL foods said they would make sure it never happens again. The reasons that make me feel less certain about the safety of the food I eat is that not all people ate that beef or other foods that are contaminated with E.coli to have that disease. It was passed on, more and more people were becoming sick because it was spread across the country. That's the dangerous thing. Another thing is that the serious infection is what made the disease spread. In the article it says" Symptoms can show up within hours or may take up to 10 days to appear." and " Some people show no symptoms at all but can still pass on the disease." That means when you don't seem to have symptoms you would think you are okay and then accidently pass it on to someone else. Also when someone doesn’t show symptoms at all and you think they are perfectly fine, the disease will pass on to you when you have caught their germs. Scary things like those could happen any day.
Man, I don't know how we would have survived the disease if there was no CFIA team. That would result horribly. Fortunately, we do have a CFIA team and they saved the day. “The agency said it was confident that the problems that had lead to the contamination of beef had been resolved." That was what the article had said. So I guess we are safe from the disease. At least for now.

Intelligent life on other planets? Maybe. - my point of view
This is a good question. It's also hard to answer as well. I mean, if I don't think there is intelligent life on other planets. I have a hard time explaining why if there's a question that is : why would scientists still trying hard to find one ? Why don't they just get it over with and say " no such thing"? But if I say that I think there is intelligent life on other planets, then I still will have the same kind situation like the first one. But this time there is another question:" How came for years after years scientists hadn't found any life yet? It has to show up sometime if it exists right? Here's the good part though: It's in my opinion.
I do think that there is life on other planets. Why? Because scientists have found some things that a life form would need to have. I read a article from "The National Geographic". It said in the article that scientists have found "sugar "in space which is also referred to as organic molecules that is made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Scientists said that the carbon- rich molecules are another source of the building blocks of life. So there might, just maybe that life could exist on other planets.
Another thing is, because that scientists have been searching so long about this. They had such a strong desire to keep an eye out if there has ever been life on mars or other planets. It inspired a lot of people too. I think that there has too be a reason that so many people believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. There is more people that believe it than people that don't. Most people do, I think it's because scientists have given them hope by believe in it, or most importantly found evidence that there could be intelligent life on other planets.
Since I believe in it, then I suppose that maybe, just maybe one day there will be intelligent life on other planets , or not. Well, let's find out in the future.

Three things I want to change about myself
No one is perfect. But you can change things about yourself. Now, what I'm about to change about myself isn't about being perfect, but it is about what will be important for me.
The three things I want to change about my self : being gifted at science, to be more talkative, and the ability to manage time.
I'm not saying that science is my worst subject, but I am saying I am not that good at science. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, to do that I must be good at science first in order to study medical school. My standard right now is not good enough. I know this sounds more like a goal than like something that would be changed. But my point is that it is not that easy to be good at it. Science involves thinking and understanding. Unlike history where you just have to memorize what you learned. I think being good at science is a major step to being a doctor. There is something that I could do though. That is when ever I don't understand something I could always ask the teacher or do extra studying at home.
Have you ever been quiet most of the time? either you are shy or just don't like to join in conversations? Well, to tell you the truth that's exactly the kind of person I am. But I don't want to be like that. I mean, when I grow up probably have to communicate with all sorts of people that I don't know. If I won't join in with my classmates in conversations now, what are the chances that I could make conversations with other people that I don't even know years after? So I need to remind myself these words : I NEED TO TALK MORE! Because this is very important. I should join in conversations with my classmates more often. Then that will change.
Now, this is the most important thing of all! The ability to manage time is my worst ability. I should seriously pick up the pace. Because every time I plan something the timing for something it always goes over the time that I expected to finish at. I hate it when this happens. If I had the ability to manage time, it would save me a whole lot trouble. I need to finish things in the time I expect myself to finish. So I will be able to make time for other things. This is important because being able to manage time is the major key to getting a job and what your boss will expect from you when you have the job.
Those are the three things that I want to change about myself, and I believe in myself that I could do it. I hope I will not forget about what I just wrote. I will accomplish this!!!

Curiosity Lands on Mars
Curiosity, is the name of a one-tonne unmanned vehicle of NASA. Their amazing achievement was when curiosity landed perfectly on Mars. How Curiosity landed perfectly was complicated. But it is like arrowing at a target that one hundred thousand kilometres away.
The most significant about Curiosity's mission was that the people on Earth will finally get to know if life ever existed on Mars( Curiosity's primary mission). Because, like it says in the article: " Curiosity is well named because its primary mission is to try to help answer a question that has puzzled people on Earth for centuries: has there ever been life on the Red Planet (Mars)". Right now curiosity is doing its mission to help, if curiosity finds out about it. It would be more than winning the lottery for mankind. Curiosity is a major help to science.
The fact that curiosity's mission is to last at least two years. I think that the chemical building blocks needed to support primitive organisms, (such as carbon nitrogen , phosphorus, sulfur and oxygen) that curiosity needs to find, is probably really hard to find since curiosity needs to drill in to Martian rocks and examine some of the planet's famous red soil carefully, that will take a long time, and the mission it takes at least two years. Also it is probably one of the most difficult mission since the mission is to found out about something that has puzzled people on earth for centuries so it must be extremely hard. Curiosity has an very important mission to do.
If Curiosity finds valuable sources, it would be a gigantic step to mankind. It would upgrade science with so many new information. Science would be more interesting and more experiments awaiting. It would technically change the world. With all the new information that Curiosity brings to us, we would be able to learn more, and change the feature of science and the world. Curiosity will be the most famous invention, ever.
NASA has built the most successful invention so far, hopefully Curiosity will successfully complete it's mission. Good luck Curiosity!

Henry Norman Bethune ( Dr Norman Bethune)
He is a hero in china. The famous Canadian surgeon who gives medical services to the people in Canada, helped Spain during the civil war, but mostly china during the war with Japan. Who is he? That's right, he is Henry Norman Bethune. He's not only a doctor, he is also a inventor and a political activist. If I were to spend a day with anyone in history, it would be him.
First, let me introduce him. Henry Norman Bethune was born on March 4 1890 in Gravenhurst, Canada. He and his family were Scottish. He studied in the University of Toronto and became a surgeon. He contributed to thoracic Surgery in the Montreal Hospital. Also, he set up an blood transfusion system during the Spain civil war, which he lead a Canadian medical team to help operate the soldiers. After that, in 1938 he helped china by doing emergency battlefield operations. But he died on November 12th 1939 in Hebei, China because he cut his finger while operating on a soldier and got blood poising. From then on he was the hero of china.
If I were to go back in time, I'd see him. He'll be like any surgeon that I have seen, but he is actually different from the other surgeon. That's because he's a hero, he risked his life to help the soldiers of China on the battle field. I would want to spend a day with him. Not only because he is a hero, but also because he is a doctor. Since I want to be a doctor when I grow up. I figured he could be my role model. He decided to help China because he felt that since he is a member of the communists party, and he strongly believes that he will be useful in China. In 1938 , the war between China and Japan began. China did not have very good doctors back then, he offered to help. He put his life on the line, he lead a medical team to operate the soldiers in the front where the worst fight was beginning. The Japanese was defeated. Norman Bethune made a big contribution to china's victory over japan. See how he was not thinking about him self , and thinking of others? And most importantly, he had made history. I mean what would happen if he hadn't helped the Chinese soldiers? Most likely, Japan would take over and most of china's soldiers would die. That's what makes him a hero, and his spirit in the Communists party showed all the people in the Communists party to be like him. To be a hero.Now here he is,brought back from history and spending time with me.
On that day, we would study about medicine and surgery. I want to be a doctor when I grew up, and I would want his help first. I want to know about different types of medicines and what they will be used for. As for surgery, I'll learn how he does the surgery on the soldiers and how he accomplished it. Not only that , I would also listen to him telling me stories of the wars back then and how he managed to operate many soldiers a day. Like how he helped the Spanish during the civil war, what went on during the Chinese war with the Japanese, and how did he help those people etc...... I'm pretty sure after hearing his stories I'll be never bored in history class ever again. Because If we took off the " h" and the " i" in history it would become"story" and his story would probably change history class for me. What an amazing day we'll have.
Henry Norman Bethune, a Canadian hero of China, is known for his amazing doctor skills. Since I came from china this concerns me. I respect him, and his doing. Every time China thinks of Canada they would immediately think of Henry Norman Bethune. Everyone in both China and Canada should acknowledge for what he has accomplished and become. I hope China and Canada could continue to Cooperate as well.

Are violent teens suffering 'the rage of the unparented'
Yes, another good article that I have to agree with. I mean how can children learn to be violent any other way? So of course there parents have not taught them well on how to be have and act like a non-violent teen. If the kids are violent it would be the parents to blame. Also, some parents are divorced and remarried with another person. That wouldn't be a good influence on their kids. The kids would learn lots of bad things just from that. Some parents when they get divorced, their kids don't even like their new mom or dad. Therefore, the kids wouldn't listen to them and their parents would loose control of them. Some children only has one parent, and that would create rage and jealousy for those children because of the children who actually have parents. When rage and jealousy comes into play, things are not going to go well. Like teens will be frustrated.
The most common way of striking when teens are frustrated, is bulling. You would think bulling was all about the popular or cool people who bullies the uncool people, but you are wrong. Bulling is not just that, it's also about the people who are suffering and jealous of the ones who have a good life and bullies them. But, think about it, why would people have jealousy inside of them? Aren't they the same people as the people that they are jealous of? No, there have to be something that separates them like being 'unparented.' Which in the article it read: "Violence is a measure of immaturity, endemic in our teen population. And immaturity has the same root as the bitter frustration that accompanies it - the unmet emotional requirements of youth deprived of nurturing adult contact American poet and social to " the rage of the unparented'." I had my personal experience to it too. When I was in forth grade, a girl bullied me. She used to call me mean names and push me around. At first I didn't know why because I hardly knew her and I never even talked to her. But later on I found out. She has a step dad. See, she started feeling guilty after all this. So she told me that she had a step dad and she never liked him. Of coarse that must have been why. Even though my situation wansn't that serious but bulling can still be scary some times.
If teens are really frustrated, childern can get killed. Not that they did anything to deserve this, but because the murderers chose to strike on them. Like in the article:" The yount man trying to protect his home did not create the violence that killed him. The knife wielders most likely had no personal hatred toward him; perhaps they did not even know him. Their murderous frustration when he barred their entrance welled up from they knew not where." Teens are violent because they are frustrated. They get frustrated because their parents didn't teach them the right way or have lost one parent. See how this whole thing wraps up. It will end up with violent frustrated teens killing the innocent nice people.
The unavoidably frustrated is kids relying on each other. In the article it says:" Children relying on each other are unavoidably frustrated. Worse, in order to become accepted, they must become "cool" Cool is the avsence of emoton, the denial of vulnerability. Cool means the shutting down of emotion, or at least the prestense of shutdown, a false sophistication characterized by inbulnerability."Like it says in the article, if someone wanted to be accepted they need to be "cool". But cool means to team up and strike together. It's like a bunch of immature teens on the loose. That is super dangerous for the ones who did not know when they'll strike. It is not right to kill people, especially in huge gangs and groups.
That's why I agree with this article. The violent teens are suffering 'the rage of the unparented'. The parents should not let children rely on one another. And most importantly to not kill people and be a good person.

Paris - a place I want to live in
Ah, the beautiful Eiffel Tower. The sweet "eclaires au chocolat". Best of all, the romatic peace.
Do you know where I am? That's right, I'm in Paris . Not that I really am in Paris, just that I would want to live there. Paris is a romantic city, it has wonderful monuments, execellent foods and great culture.
First of all, I want to live in Paris because of its beauty. Like the famous monuments. Effle Tower would be the one you would think of first. It's three hundred meters tall, it was the tallest building until the Chyster buliding was built. Also, it's unbelievable beautiful at night, when all the lights of the tower light up. It became the symbol for the "city of lights". Next, the Arc de triomphe. Arc de triomphe is located right in the middle of Charles de Gaulle. There's a design called Marseillaise Relief, it's based on the Arch of Titutus of Rome. Below the Arc e triomphe is the grave of the unknown soliders who fought for france. Last , the Notre Dame. The Notre dame is the most famous of all cathedrals. There's statues on it too, like the Gargoyle and the gallary of kings. Since it got destroyed during the revolution, it was rebuilt again between 1991 and 2001. A lot has been improved since then.
Second, the food in Paris is amazing. For breakfast, they have fine pastry like the Eclairs au chocolat. Which is a bun made with choix dough filled with chocolate icing. What a sweet dessert. As for lunch, they have the famous "coq au vin" . It is a rooster that's stewed in wine. It sound pretty delicious to me. Also, for dinner they have "Boeuf bourguignon". That's beef stewed in the Burgundy wine. That will be sure to make you full. France has a lot other foods as well and they are all truly delicious.
Last but not least, I like the Paris environment, it is so romantic and peaceful. Especially if you go to the Louvre palace. When it lights up things get romantic. It's just unbelievable how the Paris environment is so peaceful. It would be perfect if you go with your family or friends to the Louvre palace since it's beautiful,and don't forget the Paris environment surrounding it. What a lovely enviorment of Paris.
Of course, to be able to live there I'll have to know my french really well. I'll have to study hard in french. Maybe, just maybe I'll will get to live there for a couple days when I grow up. There's still a long way ahead. Paris, to me you are the most beautiful city.
Do you know where I am? That's right, I'm in Paris . Not that I really am in Paris, just that I would want to live there. Paris is a romantic city, it has wonderful monuments, execellent foods and great culture.
First of all, I want to live in Paris because of its beauty. Like the famous monuments. Effle Tower would be the one you would think of first. It's three hundred meters tall, it was the tallest building until the Chyster buliding was built. Also, it's unbelievable beautiful at night, when all the lights of the tower light up. It became the symbol for the "city of lights". Next, the Arc de triomphe. Arc de triomphe is located right in the middle of Charles de Gaulle. There's a design called Marseillaise Relief, it's based on the Arch of Titutus of Rome. Below the Arc e triomphe is the grave of the unknown soliders who fought for france. Last , the Notre Dame. The Notre dame is the most famous of all cathedrals. There's statues on it too, like the Gargoyle and the gallary of kings. Since it got destroyed during the revolution, it was rebuilt again between 1991 and 2001. A lot has been improved since then.

Do-over generation set to experience deadlock shock
I agree with the article , the students should get marks deducted if they hand in an assignment late.
Why? Let's suppose a teacher assigned an assignment to his/ her students and make it due on a specific date. If the assignment was due a month before the student handed his/her work, the teachers still have to mark it. Would it be fair to the students who actually handed their work on time? No, of course not. I mean who would want to finish work early if they could make it better by finishing it later? No one would. I know the teachers in the article wanted to make those students feel good by marking their late assignment, but really those students need a lesson just to be fair.
More importantly, their future depends on themselves. If those students continue to be like this, they aren't going to be ready to be an adult. When you are an adult you will understand how late assignments actually affects you, not only that but being late as well. For example: If you were late to catch the bus, the bus driver wouldn't wait for you. If you miss your plane, the pilot wouldn't wait for you. You would waste your time. If you returned your library books late , the librarian would charge you money. You would loose money. If you miss your interview to apply for a job, the interviewer would go on to the next person. You would lose your chance. last but not least, even if you have a job and get your work done past the deadline several times, you'll get fired. Therefore, you will lose your job and will have to find another one. See what happens? That's why the teachers are deducting marks for late assignments and deducting credits as well, like in the article it says "For the first time, students who miss 20 percent of class time will now lose a credit". By doing that, the students would learn a lesson and will build up a good habit of not handing in assignments late.
The main reason I agreed to this article is because I know what's good for me and what's not. I Monica Jiang am a student and I want to do what's right for me.
