GM food opens up a plethora of problems, some of which are unknown to the present society. How much are we willing to risk for GM food? I strongly feel that GM food is more harmful than helpful.
The key argument behind GM food is that it solves the world’s malnutrition problem. Impoverished people in 3rd world countries are not getting nutrition. However, this is assuming that this problem arises from the lack of nutritious food. Research has shown that it takes 30 times as much energy and food to raise an American, as compared to a Pakistani. Despite this blatant wastage of resources, America is still better developed. This proves that it is not the lack of nutritious food, but the poor food distribution, as well as the variant economic conditions that causes malnutrition. What purpose does GM food serve if it all goes into the mouths of the American consumers?
The multitude of unanswered questions only leaves consumers in worry. Is GM food safe? There are already many life-threatening allergies around the world, and by toying with genes, it can lead to severe complications. One example was how a proposal to incorporate genes from Brazil nuts into soybeans was abandoned for fear of unexpected allergies. Clearly, there is huge risk involved. Would you risk developing nasty fevers and ghastly spots? This possibility is very real. Now you might argue that with caution, it will remain a possibility. This brings me to my next point, who is responsible for GM foods?
Extensive testing of GM food is required to ensure that GM food is safe. Are you consumers prepared to bear this cost? This burden will inevitably fall on you in the form of more expensive food. Also, the public has to be educated about GM food, before they can make the right choice. Again, who will absorb this? Such financial burden serves no purpose.
In conclusion, GM food cannot satisfactorily solve the global malnutrition problem, and yet, it gives rise to so many problems, and even more which will arise in the future. GM food is more harmful than helpful.

healthcare resources such as hospitals. You patients have feelings as well! No one wants to be a burden to society. Do you grieve that your family has to work so hard to pay your medical fees? Do you ache that you are incapable of helping anyone? The resources that are currently spent on you can be used to save other patients. I can emphasize with your feeling of powerlessness. With Euthanasia, you need no longer bear this depression. You will be able to truly bid a happy farewell to your loved ones, knowing that you are freeing them of a heavy burden. Such is the selfless action that is encouraged through Euthanasia.
With so many advantages, what is stopping society from legalizing Euthanasia? There are far too many needless concerns that have arisen, many of which have been resolved by a meticulous process of ensuring the preparedness of implementing Euthanasia. I challenge you, to fight for your own rights, and put an end to your own suffering.

Expository Essay
School rules are nothing but a set of restrictions imposed upon us students. Can you empathize with me in disliking school rules? Our school life and learning are greatly confined by school rules. In order to manipulate our own learning, can be able to control our own space, we need to change these school rules. Hence, I strongly agree that students should be allowed to set their own rules.
Firstly, school rules restrict our learning. Do you recall when you were late for lessons, just because you were a good-boy to change out in the washroom? Being late for class wastes precious time that could be spent studying. In addition, you get reprimanded by the teacher. This is strongly emphasized, in that it occurs 80% of the time after changing out. Also, are you frustrated that students are not allowed to eat in the classroom? This is an infringement on student’s rights! Often, students stay in class to rush out homework or even study for tests. Why then should we be denied the liberty to eat in class? Evidently, school rules not only waste time, they are also ridiculous and negatively impacting our studies. It would be to our benefit if we could set our own rules.
Secondly, school rules are ineffective. According to the prefect master of raffles institution, the main purpose of school rules is to instill discipline into the students by setting a confined boundary to enclose students. However, the current school rules only obtain the exact opposite result. Have you ever felt strongly against school rules? Have you felt this burning desire to stand out and disobey the rules? These are so commonplace amongst students. The typical student would eat in class, play sports in uniform and even be late for class on purpose. These are all forms of defiance. Students! Do you like to be confined and restrained? When school rules are enforced upon you, do you not feel like rebelling? This is the exact scenario that is occurring. Clearly, school rules do not serve their purpose.
However, if students can set their own rules, they will be more willing to abide by them, and be more disciplined in following their own rules. Supposing students set a rule allowing them to eat in class, henceforth, we would be able to complete our work on time, not be late for class after recess, and be able to stay focused having eaten a meal. Because the rules students set will lead to an advantageous learning environment, we will be content to follow them. Also, the authority to make our own decisions should be given to the student population. Only when students can see in accordance with the rules, will they be pacified. This will result in a much more effective rule system, and also benefit our learning.
If you feel similarly about this issue, I challenge you to fight for our rights. Students should be given control of our own learning and welfare. Student’s rules, students rule!

Wart is an Exposition
An exposition is a type of composition. The skills employed in expositions include classification, analysis, comparison and others. The purpose of an exposition is to inform, analyze or explain.
In a literary piece or a dramatic play, the exposition refers to the opening or the introduction. This is where the characters are developed; the settings and conflict are introduced.
In an essay, the exposition is the style of writing, the purpose of which is to introduce the author’s topic to the reader. The essay should be focused on the topic, and listed in chronological order.
