Thesis Online Job
Online jobs are selected in part-time employment for
many, and some have taken more seriously. A growing
number of people are willing to take a job online. Working online has its advantages if we manage
effectively. Why not?
Arguments It offers flexibility and convenience that no other job
can give. We can work from home with minimal
investment and get a good income. The idea of adding weight to our pocket and makes life easier and
comfortable is the most reassuring. The reason behind this great opportunity is that every
day there are new companies to join. Every day and every minute men are seeking information about
everything under the sky of the Internet. As we know, the Internet is the answer to every
question, web sites need to update each section and also add reports on developments that have recently
joined. Therefore, it is an expansive space for articles.

marketing, stock trading, and online education. However we
should be very careful because scamming
opportunities are always there.

Contoh 2: More dust bin will be cleaner
To improve comfort and cleanliness at the school, there should be an increasing number of dust bins.
When we look at classroom, school corridors and schoolyard, there papers, mineral water cops, straws, and napkin everywhere. The condition of
unseemliness really hinders learning and teaching environment. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for mosquito to
spread out. Anyway I notice that most of the students have responsibilities for
their school environment. They put their litter on the proper place but some of them are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of the dust
bins in the school are not enough. More dust bins should be put beside each step, outside of the classrooms and some along of the corridors. Probably
one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, students do not have problem of discomfort any more. So provide more dust bins and school
will be very clean and become a very nice place to study.
