Title:  Fuel Cash Aid

Thesis : The government is now starting to distribute cash to the poor to help offset the effects of higher fuel prices. As expected, there have been some problems

Arguments

A number of officials from the Central Statistics Agency were reported to have abused their positions by siphoning off the aid meant for the poor. In addition, it turns out that many of recipients were not really poor.

Recommendation

In my opinion, the government’s policy of giving money to the poor is not effective. I believe that it will be more effective if the aid is given to those who can’t afford to send their children to school. Untold numbers of children fail to get a proper education simply because they come from poor families. Consequently, sufficient funds must be allocated for education, which in turn would ease the burden on the poor.

T itle: Rock Rocks!!

Thesis: Rock music has been one of the most powerful music in the world. Rock does not only concern with the music but also the life and fashion style of the rockers.

Arguments

There are those who do not approve of the way rockers dress and behave. Some go further and accuse rockers of Satanism. For example, Ozzy Osbourne, a famous rock star, often bit the head off small animals and drank their blood on stage. Many people considered such acts affiliated with Satanism.

There are also occasions where teen commits suicide after going to a concert or listening to music. Such cases strengthen the conviction of many people that rock music, such as heavy metal and underground music is truly a bad influence.

Recommendation

For those reasons, I think the rockers should give positive examples to the listeners because the listeners tend to listen to their idols instead of other people.

Title: The Use of Pesticides

Thesis: Nowadays, the pesticides have been one of the useful components for the farmers in keeping a good plant.

Arguments

Unfortunately, farmers commonly do not know how to use pesticides properly and they do not take enough care. They only think about how to increase the production and get as much profit as possible. This result in poisonings while they are spraying pesticides on their plants because the residues of the chemicals stay on the crops.

Furthermore, we still find many improper practices in the use of pesticides. For example, in villages, pesticides sellers often sell them together with food.

In addition, only a few pesticides sellers know how to use them properly so they can provide correct information about the use to farmers. Consequently, farmers often wrongly spray their plants within 2 weeks of harvesting.

Recommendation

Therefore, the state officials should give agricultural extension or counseling to the farmers so that they can use the pesticides properly.
