  1. We are going to talk about “the guns should be legal?” This is a hot topic in social in US, a lot of people interesting about guns. I think the guns should be legal, but Khaled doesn’t agree with me. In his opinion, the guns are too dangerous. But I think guys can protect ourselves. We will find some information about our topic from internet and news, then we will use our information to discuss together. After that, we will write the articles.

  2. 1.Bilingual education: should students be taught another language at an early age.
    2.Muhannad: against the issue(some people shouldn’t learn another language at an early age)
    Lisa: argument for the issue (some people should learn another language at an early age)
    3.one supporting reason for the issue: it is easily to learn the another language because children can learn it like their first language, they will speak like a native speaker, such as the oral speech sounds.
    One supporting reason against the issue: it’s not important to learn another language, for people who can speak English but it is necessary for others, such as they can live in their own country and never leave there. So for them, only one language can survive.
    4.We are learning English now and also we are in different age, we have our own experience. Also parents will consider about this.
    5.Parents and society

  3. Should all students wear the same uniform or wear what ever they want. Some students like to wear specific uniform and some doesn’t like this. Zack will be a arguing against the school uniform and Saud will be arguing for it. Saud thinks that everyone should be same especially in the schools, so that the rich students won’t discriminate the poor student because they can’t not buy new clothes. On the other hand, Zack says the students may don’t like the style of clothes, so they won’t wear it. Both of us have been in the situation because in Saud’s country students wear the same uniform and in Zack’s country they don’t. The potential target audience for this topic might be the schools and students who don’t have enough money to buy new clothes.

  4. 1 Our topic is homeschooling, is that should parents be allowed to educate their children at home.
    2 Fahad agree with homeschooling, but I disagree with homeschooling.
    3 there are children how needs to a special treatment to get educated far away from the school. For example a handicaps or a specific disease such as William Syndrome, So I agree about homeschooling, for children whom need a special treatment.
    I disagree about homeschooling, for children whom study at home has too much free time for them and if the children are not a self-conscious students, they might not study hardly at home. And I think it’s better to learn knowledge face to face, it’s more easier to for children to accept or understand. So I think it’s not a good idea for children to study at home.
    4 Why we choose this topic is that because it’s happening during our life. There are many people who are suffering from this issue.
    5 I think all the parents will interested in our topic. Because they have the rights to make decisions.

  5. I and Asma are going to research about transportation, if it should be private or public. We chose it because it is interesting and something we know about. Moreover, transportation is so imperative in our life, another reason makes us choosing this topic. We have deference opinion; I am going with private for many causes. One of these it is more organized than public because there are many companies will challenge each other which the best. As a result, if it is private, it will be better than public transportation. However, Asma agree with a public transportation. She thinks the Price is a big situation for people because some people who use trains are from low rank. Consequently, if it is private, it will be expensive for them not as price that they pay in public transportation. We think many people are interesting. For instance, travelers when they take train or employers who are get to his work especially in crowed cities such as, NW, Paris and Boston.

  6. We are going to talk about “the guns should be legal?” This is a hot topic in social in US, a lot of people interesting about guns. I think the guns should be legal, but Khaled doesn’t agree with me. In his opinion, the guns are too dangerous. He saw many veido about young guys use gun to kill someone who not enough 18. But I think guys can protect ourselves. When robber come to old man’s house, if the old man has gun, he can save himself. If he doesn’t has gun, he probablily dead, and his family will very sad. On other way, the guns are legal now, if government confiscate them by force, it will make a big trouble. So, guns have to legal.We will find some information about our topic from internet and news, then we will use our information to discuss together. After that, we will write the articles.

  7. I and mark will write about (One child policy: the government control how many children a couple has)
    I disagree with that policy because I believe that God has created people with the mind to use it, so they can eat, drink, wear whatever they want. Everyone is responsible for his own life and can have the number of children he wants; the government should give them the freedom of choice.
    Mark: I agree with the one child policy because I think if each one has many children it will be big problems in the society and economy, so we should think of reduce a fast population of growth and advantage the economy development and society advance for that the government should put a law and some parents should have only one child.
    We chose this topic, because Mark is from China and the Chinese government has this policy.
    We think Chinese people will interest in this information because they have this policy in their country.
