    Topic : The Truth About Chocolate
    URL : http://www.linkroll.com/Chocolate-Food-and-Drink--94285-The-Truth-About-Chocolate.html

    Comment :
    I as a chocolate lover totally agree with this article that is chocolate can cause no harm to human. As we all know that the primary source of chocolate is cacao bean, which is discovered in Africa. Chocolate is proven that there is absolutely no causal link whatsoever between consuming chocolate and getting acne. Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine which is a type of mood elevator which result in a temporary sense of happiness. Moreover, it also contain antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay, and the only cause of tooth decay nowadays is by the sugar added into the manufactured of chocolate bar. Now I understand why my mother didn’t scold me eating chocolate everyday because she knows the actual facts about chocolate. This article is such a good article with the suitable grammar and words that attract people to read it.

    Topic: 7 Signs you think too much about food(3rd Article)
    URL : http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/7-signs-you-think-too-much-about-food-489839/?pg=1#comments

    Comment:
    Regarding this article,I have something to share about diet. If you have a diet of meats, cheeses, vegetables and some starches, you probably won't get sick if you eat something new since your gut flora has what it takes to digest the food. If you go to an extreme diet change from vegan to meat eating, you might have an upset stomach but it will probably became regularly. Based on the points given, for the second point, eating without being hungry,its true but sometimes if you are stressed you might lose your appetite so you might consider eating so you don’t loose too much nutrients is good for keeping your metabolism in high gear. For the third point, bing-eating is probably the number one causes for obesity. So its good advise to control your eat. Lastly, I disagree with the last point given on this article because the article encourages people to eat processed foods whether is in small quantity or not. Its better to eat natural or unprocessed food because because processed food are stuffed chock full of salt, sugar and fats that’s no good for ourself. Fresh is better!

    10 Worst Work Habits
    Comments

    In my opinion, this article can help the newbie to boost their career opportunities by avoiding these bad working habits instead of getting fired over these petty mistakes during their trial. The writer highlights the ten main worst working habits in the article and gives good examples in order the readers to understand more about the worst working habit usually offended by the employees. Hopefully, the employees can learn from the mistakes and avoid getting fired. Besides that, readers can also improve their working performance so that they’ll have a better opportunity for promotion. Plus, if every employee avoids these worst working habits, the company’s performance might be improved.

    Topic : 7 Tips Guaranteed to Build Trust in a Relationship
    Url : http://ezinearticles.com/?7-Tips-Guaranteed-to-Build-Trust-in-a-Relationship&id=2312534

    Comment : When I found this article, I look at its title, I felt very interested to read it. This article gives us 7 steps to build trust between you and your partner in your relationship. I agree that, in relationship, you must consistently give attention to your partner, so that he or she will trust you. You also must always be honest to your partner so that they will not be suspicious on you. When talking about secrets, it is true that not all secrets you need to tell to others, but being in a relationship, you should believe in your partner and tell them your secrets. If you are having a problem, you should always tell it to your partner so that they can help you. This will absolutely build trust. But, being in a relationship, you should not always obey and follow up your partner needs. You should also think about yourself. Say no if you don’t want and say yes if u wants it. There is no one that will force you to do something that u didn’t want to. That’s all my opinion about this article. Lastly, I love this article because it can help us to sustain a good relationship with our partner so that the relationship will last forever, God willing.

    COMMENT
    A person who is a left-hander is considered as unique to me. Why? because there are so many right-handers and so little left-handers. I believe that left-handers should be treated the same way as everyone because they can also do what the right-handers do. A person who is a left-hander have many difficulties with items or equipments. For example, a left-hander is using a rifle and the way he uses it is opposite of the way the right-handers hold the rifle, he shoots a bullet, what happens? The hot, empty bullet case will hit their face because it exits on the right side of the rifle. If he is a right-hander, the hot, empty bullet case will exit away from him. This is an example of an item that left-handers usually have problem with. So that is why specially designed items are made for them and these items make them feel special and accepted in a world where right-handers are dominant. So if your friend is a left-hander, do not look down on him, because he or she is just like you and the only difference is the use the dominant arm.

    3. Pollution Around Cities Increases The Risk Of Cancer
    There are several kinds of problems when it comes to pollution. But these article stress about pollution around the cities that increases the risk of cancer. According to NATA(National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment) in 2002 after testing 181 air toxics, nearly 80 were known to cause cancer and other health problem such as birth defects. There could be the time where 1200 in 1 million could possibly be affected by cancer just because of the pollution. These articles also are very specific about the risk of people having cancer just because of the pollution by testing it with trusted sources like NATA. Beside these article is very specific and giving so much information of the risk caused by pollution. Overall this article is interesting and gives much information for the public to know. Perhaps with this much information many people will realize the effect of pollution and get together to stop the pollution.

    Topic: How Hard Is Parenting.
    URL: http://www.articleexclusive.com?article/how-hard-is-parenting-121656-1.html

    Comment:
    The first thing that came through my mind is parenting is really a hard task. Parent knows what best for their children. It reminds me of my own parent and how they take care of me, how they dealt with my attitude problem, whining and crying during my early age. These needs patience, love and care. I've always has high salute to parents out there especially my parents because they've did their best in parenting us. But there are certain parent being too overprotected with their kids making their kids not having enough space for themselves to explore their world and make their own decision. There will be time when the parents will need to let go of their kids outside and let them experience life. So children and kids nowadays should learn to respect their parent because of all the hard work they did in raising them until what they are now.

    Comment: I do agree that reading and watching will give a different feeling and reading will give more effects. It also makes me forget all the things that happen around me. But in my opinion, this feeling only occur when I read books or reading materials that suits with my taste and interest. If I do not like the books, for me watching is better. I also agree that reading make me know the world better and make me know what is happening on the other side of the world. Those knowledge are very useful in my life and can be a good topics to discuss among my friends.

    TOPIC:MATTERS OF THE HEART
    URL : www.nst.com
    COMMENT:
    In this article, I found out that some children develop health problems very early in life, such as in the womb. One such condition is congenital heart disease. There are many types of congenital heart diseases but the most common would be a hole in the heart. Another is valvular lesions such as a narrowed or leaking valve. While 90 per cent of congenital heart diseases mutate spontaneously, some may be due to genetic influences, such as when a baby has Down’s Syndrome. Pregnant women who contracted infections, such as rubella, may also cause congenital heart disease to develop in their babies. It can also be caused by mothers who take drugs or alcohol, or smoke during pregnancy. Congenital heart disease can be treated in two ways. The most common form would be surgery, which is divided into simple surgery and complex surgery. A non-surgical approach to treating this disease can also be taken, whereby a tool such as a trans-catheter is used to repair the damage. However, this approach is limited to certain types of congenital heart diseases. Due to the evolution of technology, surgeries and procedures have also become low risk

    comment: First of all, i totally disagree if process learning math and science change from English to our mother tongue. Regarding of government result to change learning math and science from English back to our mother tongue in 2012, a lot of opinion and suggestion from peoples that agree and disagree. Everyday in televisyen, radio, magazine, and also newspaper talk about this topic. In my opinion, I think learning math and science in English is good and interesting way. There is advantages and also disadvantages when we apply English in math and science. In other side of thinking, why we just talk about disadvantages? I think the best way is to solve the problem regarding the disadvantages of learning English in math and science, not just ignore and fight with that issue. I think our previous prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamed have their future planning to see Malaysia can achieve wawasan 2020. Actually idea to learn math and science in English is come from himself. Otherwise, Malaysian can compete with peoples from overseas in every aspect. Furthermore, some peoples said, how can children from the village want learning in English? Why? Is it they can’t learn? I also come from the village, I come from felda bukit goh, and I already observe student at school, they actually can enjoy English properly, just need time and fully attention from themselves and their parents support. From their result also shows to us that English is not a burden to them. That’s only from my opinion, maybe you all got own opinion regarding this issues. Thank you very much

    TOPIC: WATER POLLUTION AND COUSES
    URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution

    COMMEND: In my point of view, the water pollution is a serious topic or issue that everyone should take part to overcome this global problem. There are several reasons for this water pollution. One of the reasons that the water pollution problem is so severe is that it is not actually illegal to dump pollutants into water bodies. Other than that, many countries dump sewage out at sea. Often, they place it not far from their own coastline, often killing all the sea wildlife in the dumping area. Chemical’s dumped by industries and governments are another major source of water pollution. This water pollution is actually not only affecting the sea wildlife, but it’s also effect the organisms and plants that lives around the water polluted area. Because of this water pollution there are thousands of people are die every day. It’s also affecting progress and nature of a country. So as a responsible Malaysian, we all should to help the government to protect this lovely and wonderful gift….

    COMMENT:

    Who is Noordin Mat (Mohammed) Top? Maybe, some of us still don’t know who is him. Actually he is the person that really wanted by police and also FBI. He work as a financier, alleged trainer of the splinter group of Jemaah Islamiyah .I feel angry, disappointed and sad because of his bad action had make our country and also our religion, Islam, get bad expectation from the other country . He is a genious person but not use it wisely. Why I said like that? It was because he had used his genious mind to make bad things as example, the making of bomb. There were many informations and also investigation from many people show that their group is terrorism because make many violence action as example Bali Bombing(2002),JW Marriott hotel bombing in Jakarta(2003), Australia embassy bombing in Jakarta(2004),Bali bombing(2005) and the JW Marriott-Ritz-Carlton bombings(2009). Jemaah Islamiyah become suspected for this bombing and we unsure how far the truth, only the God know all the truth. If all the things happened is true, I totally disagree with all of their action. In web page, their group was listed as wanted terrorist by FBI.

    comment:
    I like this article because it is good to set up 6000 crime prevention clubs.First advantage of course is prevent student from play truant.Student has been told that absent without medical certificate is considering as truant.Even though school will take discipline action to those who is play truant, student still continue play truant. Teacher is small amount and difficult to control large amount of student,moreover teacher also busy on their job like teaching and mark papers.Set the crime prevention club can let student join the club and help teachers.Actually,they also helping their friends too from bad activities like take drug.Second advantage is can build more club and give the student more widely choice to choose the club that they are interested.Student can learn discipline,leadership and meet many friends.Third advantage is can build up a good human module in the school. Those student who join the club can transfer their spirit to every single student.By this way, whole school will become discipline and hopefully 0% of student play truant and 0% crime.More ove, the school with 0% of crime will catch international eye and everyone in this world will know the name of MALAYSIA.

    This stargazing is very fun and suitable for children. It is also bring to opportunity to every children in the country to learn more about the universe by seeing it by their self such as watching the sun rising or the moon surface of the moon at night. Children will experienced the stargazing and having fun with it. It will also a good way of realising stress and improved knowledge. But this stargazing not only could attract children, even teenagers and adult would having fun with it learn more about moon and sun. Because it is not just for experiencing or learning it is also releasing someone stress and even can improve knowledge. It can release stress especially when seeing the moon at night.

    Beautiful is the important word to the human because all the living things love to beautiful, but it is the big problems to people that have a heavy weight. But it not blocking them to continue their life because everyone has their own advantage whether she or he fat or slim like Adibah Noor she is a fat woman but she also can success and famous also, it is show that physical shape is not recipes to success. In my opinion, we can if we want it, if you are fat try to change your eat habit I believe if your really want you can get it easily. Don’t be sad and do the stupid thing like take the overdose of sliming pill because it can bring you to the death. Follow the true step and slim will come to you. In my opinion fat or thin are not the problem to success in your life enjoy with your shape.

    Shocking news about a glass of milk. Milk can be classified as the source of calcium. It was a fact that milk can build a strong bone and teeth. But did we know about the advantages of a glass of hot milk? This article provides the benefit of taking a glass of hot milk every day. For example, hot milk can prevent the problems on the secretion of the waste product in our body, or as the strengthening drink after exhausting journeys in winter.

    From the article, we can know about the fruits, herbs, meats, fish and vegetable that we can dry .From the article also we can do ourself and save our money to buy a dry food at the supermarket. Produce from supermarket is usually more expensive and not as fresh it should be for drying. A few things that we can dried and a few things we cannot dried. It also has disadvantages that is certain fruits take to long time to dry. It waste the time. The words in the article is easy to understand and I get more bombastic words. From this article, I can learn how to be more independent because we can plant the fruits and vegetable and dry it at the house.

    From the article that I had read, biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science and medicine. Biotechnology has application in four major industrial areas, which are health care, crop production and agriculture, non food uses of crops and other product, and environmental uses. Organism and bacteria are commonly used to manufacture organic products. Bioinformatics, Blue Biotechnology, Green Biotechnology, Red Biotechnology, and White Biotechnology are the several branches of biotechnology. Bioinformatics play a role in various areas such as functional genomics, structural genomics and proteomics, and forms a key component in the technology and pharmaceutical. Blue Biotechnology describes the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology. Green Biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural process. Red Biotechnology is applied to medical process and White Biotechnology is applied to industrial processes.

    Volcanoes can be a great disaster when get explodes. The nearest residential that situated at the bottom of hills will totally get burn. Its hard for the country that have an active volcanoes can live in peacefully because they must always alert when that volcanoes going to explode. The volcanoes also can make other disaster such as earthquake and tsunami. But, for inactive vorvanoes it can be one of the best tourism spot like Toba lake that situated at one of inactive volcano in Indonesia. For me, I felt very lucky lived in Malaysia because Malaysia don’t have any volcanoes. Just imagine what happened if volcanoes have in Malaysia? Our city will oftenly being attact by a very hot lava. And the citizen will always live in worries.

    What is love? When talking about love, people will say that it is just a common thing that everyone will feel. Yes, of course. But each person has their own interpretation of love. Some will say that it is the feeling we have when we like someone, an excitement, or love come when it is time and it can’t be chased away no matter what. People act weird when they are in love, they will do anything and sacrifice their life just for love. For example, Romeo and Juliet, the hero and heroin in the movie Titanic, Taj Mahal and so fourth. All this happen because one things that called love. Love is wide, love is difficult and love is everything. Love makes people in this world just like a human being.

    After read this article, the first impression come into my mind is how lucky we are live in a harmony country. We have all the needs such as food, home and family. However, we should remind that in the mean time, there are those others in a very different situation who have to trivialize and are dying of thirst and hunger. Although this situation is not happen to us but we should think, what is our relationship with each other. We all supposed to be one of brotherhood coz we all belongs to the same race of human beings. However, what happen today, each nation is so protective of its resources and the strong overtakes the weak. Many countries are being divided into wars and more suffering goes on that we call it nationalism. My question are, should it happen? What we ca do? There are many needs, not only in financial but also social and spiritual. Although we do not have power to control the world, but at least we can help the needy by giving support such as social and spiritual. The future of our world will be in how we provide for the needs of all peoples, above all, we are a brotherhood of human beings.

    URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/surrogate-mother
    Comment:
    I was really impressed to this article after I’ve watched a movie entitled Baby Mama. Perhaps, most of you still not very familiar about surrogate mother. Actually, surrogate mother is the woman who is pregnant with the child and intends to relinquish it after birth. She may, as a gestational carrier, carry the pregnancy to delivery after having been implanted with an embryo, in some jurisdictions an illegal medical procedure. In other word, she’s helping another woman who is unwilling to pregnant due to many factors such as infertility and medical issues. Sometimes, a woman also willing to hire a surrogate mother even though the cost is very expensive because she is unwilling to pregnant as it may affect her body shape. On my opinion, the rationale of practicing this method is depending on the individual herself. However, a woman who is unwilling to pregnant and gives birth is losing her most valuable maternity experience that can make her a true woman and a true mother to her child.

    Comment:
    IF you're environmentally conscious, chances are you've already considered buying a hybrid. But you don't have to stop there if you're thinking green when making your next automobile choice. Some manufacturers are adding additional environmentally friendly processes, materials and technologies to the auto manufacturing business. In fact, several automakers have made key personnel appointments to oversee all environmental procedures in the company. Since the plants reuse policies save its suppliers the cost of buying many new materials. Aside from using environmentally friendly materials, companies are also letting the environment play a part in their manufacturing processes. These environmental efforts also result in financial benefits for the company. The financial benefit is an incentive for auto manufacturers to embrace environmental practices such as recycling and reusing materials. Automakers are taking the environment into consideration by prioritizing the environmental policies such (1) Using recycled fabric seating. (2) Developing ‘zero landfill’ policies. (3) Reducing the amount of waste. (4) Integrating the environment.
