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

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

Recommendation 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.
