What’s New
Do you have a pet at home? Most of the children today, like you, enjoy having
a pet. Let us read this excerpt to know more about the value of having pets.
It’s Great to
Have a Pet!
Whatever kind of animal you may want to have, pet ownership can be
an adventure. May it be a dog, cat, bird, or anything you like, it will surely
add color to your life.
During this COVID19 pandemic, a furry friend can also keep you
company through stress or loneliness. This may be why adoption and
fostering of pets became a trend recently.
Owning a pet can help reduce the stress you are feeling amid the health
crisis. According to studies, spending time with your pet can trigger an
increased level of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone." This is
responsible for the feeling of closeness and increased bonding with your pet.
Surely, pets can improve anyone’s mood!
Do you agree with the informed opinion that having a pet can improve one’s mood?

(Report Title) Online Games For Kids: Allowed or not to allowed?
Title
(Purpose) This report aims to present and discuss the different
views whether to allow or not allow children in playing online
games.
(Intro) During this pandemic, most children ease their boredom
through engaging themselves online. Some enjoy strolling social
media sites, while others are hooked into playing online games.

Introduction Legends, LOL, PUBG Mobile, etc. These types of applications can
be played with multiple players all over the world. It has a chat-
like feature where the gamers can message each other either
privately or publicly.
(Definition of the issue) One of the most argued topics today is
whether to allow or not allow children playing online games.
(Viewpoint 1) Some parents say that it is ok for their kids to play
online games so that they will be encouraged to stay at home
instead of going out and risk their health just to socialize with
other children.

not be allowed in playing online games. According to them,
children are easily addicted to these applications that they seem
Body invisible at home. They cannot help in doing house chores, rarely
interact with other family members and even develop attitude
problems.
(Presenting support or evidence) Furthermore, health experts say
that too much time spent in these applications, specifically online
games, affects children's health. Because online games cannot be
paused, kids who are actively engaged in it usually skip meals,
stay late at night, and overuse their eyes which eventually can fall
different into illnesses.
(Choose appropriate transition word) In conclusion, though online
games offer children's entertainment and keep them from staying
Conclusion
at home, parents should not give their kids full access to these
applications. Parents should carefully choose online games for
their children. They can research for educational interactive games
available online. Children that are too young to distinguish right
from wrong, should not be allowed to use it for they will be
exposed to strangers that might trick them into doing bad things.

Title (Report Title) No Homework Policy
(Purpose) This report aims to discuss the differing views on the
topic "No Homework Policy."
Since then, teachers give take home activities to their pupils every
time a lesson ends. It serves as an additional practice of the skills
Introduction learned from the subject area. No Homework Policy is one of the
similar bills filed in Congress. One of the representatives suggested
to totally ban homework in schools.
No Homework Policy has received mixed reactions from students,
parents, and teachers.
Body Some parents agree to totally ban homework in schools. During
schooldays, children spend most of their time in school. If giving
homework will be stopped, kids will have time for their family and
other extracurricular activities.
However, some teachers expressed their disagreement on the total
ban of homework. According to them, take home activities are
bridge between school and home. They believe that if spent with
family members, doing homework can also be a family time. With
homework, parents can monitor their kids’ progress at school and
at the same time follow-up if needed.
To conclude, homework takes over students’ leisure and family
time, it is improper to totally ban it. For a long time, it has been
Conclusion connecting gaps between school and home. Instead, teachers
should limit them on weekdays or in alternate days.
