Do you ever have a discussion about an issue, whether it is a simple or a heavy issue? Sure
you must be familiar with it, and often doing that. We often discuss to solve a problem or just get
to know what is other's view toward something that controversial. Discussion is a process to find
the meet point between two different ideas.

Best Friend
Everyone must have best friends in their lives. A best friend is someone you believe you can
trust your life with. A best friend is the first person you call when you have the most amazing things
in your life, and when you are in the most horific incidents. But, what if you fall in tove with your

with, there is a lot to consider. Take a moment to consider the advantages and disadvantages of
taking your friendship to the next level.
Having a serious relationship with someone you've only been best friends until now may not be
an easy task, but the following advantages may just make taking the risk worth it. Firstly, you have
already laid the groundwork. A strong emotional bond is a strong foundation of any successful
relationship. Next, you can bypass the awkward stuff. The good news about d-ating your best
friend is'that you can simply enjoy the excitement of taking your relationship to the next level.
Besides, you have already had a solid emotional bond and have shared history of togetherness
such as graduating from the same university together or gathering family by your side. Having
shared important moments in each other's lives will make your connection stronger and even

you continue your friendship with him/her? Could you take it if he/she dates someone else? Third,

person, their personality and their interests could prove to be a little boring for you.
While there are risks involved with confessing romantic feelings to your best friend, it is worth
remembering that the greatest and most suqcessful relationships often grow from great friendships,
and it might just be the best decision you'll ever make.

Today, with enormous technologrcal advances, teachers can train their students with various
online tools to communicate with them when they are unable to interact with them or share the
problems they have.
The transition to online learning has implications not only for teachers, who need to change

and parents are taking notice and many are considering whether the shift to online education will

Advantages and Disadvantages of Gift Gard
Gift cards become more popular during recent years. For example, in one season of holiday,
,*/F"l* I sales reach $19 billion in United Stated and seem to grow more in the following season due to their
convenience in the side of consumers and retailers.
ln retailers side. gift cards bring them some benefits. Selling gift card is simply selling product.
When the cards are sold. they will get benefit. Additionally, gift card tends to be a matter of image

j
and trend which means it is not strictly influenced by the functionality. Since gift card is the trend,
the sales will increase signifcantly
= However, there are some potential disadvantages in the side of consumers. For example,
= iTune gift cards apply process in the way of completing the shopping. They need do one step to
other steps in processing the shopping. Likely, most of the steps apply time and date of validity or
expiration. When certain step lost that validating date, the gift cards may be in risk. The gift card
can be rejected to redeem. Again, in retailers side, producing card its self is costly. lt means that
rc
I-
there is additional cost which retailers have to pay.
ln whatever thing, we need to be wise. lf we can use that gift card effectively, the disadvantages
can be reduced.
