Two Paragraph

1st: Organic Soil Paragraph

The addition of organic matter improves soil in several ways. The soil can benefit from it in three main ways. Fristly, it can improve the soil structure. If the soil is too hard, the organic matter will loosens it. Also, it can give the sandy soil holding ability, which is very important for the plants. Secondly, the addition of organic matter increases the ability to retain moisture. It can act as a sponge or reduce erosion which are all helpful to retain moisture of soil. Last but not the least, the addition of organic matter can raise level of fertility of soil. It works in two ways. One is to breaks organic matter down and the second is builds up humus. Both ways can raise the level of fertility. In conclusion, the incorporation of organic matter into the soil is an important farming practice that can significantly improve the productivity and long-term viability of agricultural land.



2nd Solar Energy Paragraph


Solar energy as a heat source for homes has potential, but there are some problems that need to be resolved. The benefits of the solar energy is very easy to find. Compared to the gas or electrical enengy, the solar energy is unlimited and nonpollution energy, all of us can use it without promission. Also, this resource is not controlled by humans, so the people would not worry about the property of this resource of energy. Although solar energy has so many benefits, it still meets some probelms. The construction of collection devices cost very high so the people who want to use this energy has to pay for a large bill first. Moreover, the collection of the energy is not perfected, the sun gives so much energy but we can only collection one small part of it. Also the collectors are not very sightly is another shortcoming. In conclusion, to use solar energy for homes is very good choice but needs more thinking.

How to overcome a difficult in studying basketball

I am a fan of NBA and I spend a lot of time to play basketball in my spare time. As most of the fans, my playing is not good. I admire the player who can play in the gym and fight for their own class.

To improve the skill of the basketball is the most important thing to do in my schedule, in that case, I may play for my class, department, even the school. I go up at 6 every morning and train myself in the gym, after 3 months, I found myself stronger and quicker. But the skill still bad. In a music shop, I saw a dvd named "Jordan teach you play basketball". I buy it and watch it at night, I found it is very usful for me. I learn the fade-away, jump shoot, cross-over and so on. After 3 months more, I enrolled in my class team as a small forward.

Now, I can enjoy myself not only in the TV watching NBA but also in the playground of basketball.

Time management

As a graduate student, to manage time is as important as study in the course. There are too many spare time for the graduate student to spend in a semester.

I will score the things to do as three levels. The first level is the things that easy to manage but important, such things cost little time but has critical effect. It’s better to finish those things in the schedule as soon as possible. The second level is the things that a bit hard to do but important. Although that may cost more time to finish those things, not finishing them may influence the whole plan of the time. The third level should be others, if there is not enough time to finish the third level, reschedule is no need, just choose some and give some up is ok. So, in the schedule list, all tasks should belong to the three levels.

Also, an electrical reminder on the PC is a very good means to manage the tasks. When you open the computer, you get to know what to do this day and what to do tomorrow, everything is under control, that kind feeling is very comfortable.

To manage time and task is to save time and money, it is one of the most important thing we should learn to.
