　　Given the technological advances in the military, I have to disagree with those who think women are not good candidates for service. Traditional strength is not needed for newer lightweight equipment and non-battle situations. Women can bring their keen intelligence to help meet today’s military needs. Some of this new work calls for sophisticated computer skills. Women are known to multi task and interpret well. Also known are women’s fine motor skill and reflexes that suit high tech positions. Meanwhile military strategists welcome the different approaches to strategic thinking that women bring as a result of the way they process information. In conclusion, women train hard to be both mentally and physically prepared for duty. There are just some of the reasons women are good candidates for military service.

　　I would definitely enlist the help of my aunt in finding a job in the company where she works. The job market is tight these days and I think that an applicant should use every advantage. It might influence the hiring manager if my aunt can put in a good word for me. The manager might fell more confident in hiring someone who is already familiar with the company and therefore I might be more likely to be accepted by the staff. On the other hand, it is risky to count on my aunt’s reputation or her ability to influence decisions. The disadvantage of having an inside contact is that I will always wonder if I could have been hired on my own merit. And, while on the job it might make it awkward for my boss to correct me if it might make both my aunt and me feel bad. However, given the competition for jobs, I would ask my aunt to help me land a job at her company.

　　- A real life traveler experiences the excitement of buying food and getting directions, sometimes in a foreign language.

　　Opposing view

　　- While reading about a country, I will never run out of money or have to worry about terrorism.

　　- There are maps, dictionaries and videos to refer to.

　　Closing statement

　　- For me, taking a trip somewhere always beats virtual travel.

　　I prefer real travel to a country over virtual travel from the comfort of my home. I do, however, see advantages for both modes of “travel”. Real life travel hold a great excitement at all stages. Planning on paper is fun, but nothing can take the place of really landing in a foreign airport and feeling the blast of air from a new climate on your face. Of course, the traveler reading their way into a country will never run of money partway through a trip. Nor do they have to worry about robbery or terrorism. While a real life traveler experience the excitement of buying food and getting directions, sometimes in a foreign language, the home-based traveler has all the maps, dictionaries and videos to refer to. Naturally, the home traveler can stop anytime. However, the virtual traveler can’t bring home the souvenirs of a trip such as music, food and new friends he discovers on a trip. For me, taking a trip somewhere always beats virtual travel.
