More Dust Bins is 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, threre 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 thier 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 bin 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 bi 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.

How ASEAN Should Face Cafta
The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) is a win-win situation for ASEAN. It will help speed the recovery of ASEAN from the global recession.The CAFTA is an important vehicle for trade-led growth and recovery in the ASEAN region with growth of 3.9 percent in 2009 which most likely will increase in 2010. Furthermore, the launch of a US$10 billion infrastructure investment fund by China to improve roads, railways and airlines und strengthen telecommunication link may help speed the ASEAN recovery. China has also committed to a $15 billion credit facility to promote regional integration. ASEAN should take advantage of this and not rely completely on the United States. Times are changing and regional groupings like the CAFTA, the SCO, the EU, the NAFTA, etc. Are more beneficial than so called globalization. One crisis, like the one in the US, has domino effect to the world economy, whereas one region that falls into a crisis can be rescued by other regions not affected by it. World trade will be more stable under divided regional groupings and still maintain world trade and investments globally. Last but not the least, in order to take advantage of the CAFTA and make it work, ASEAN should cut down it's bureaucratic red tape in it's financial and economic sectors to efficiently speed up trade and investment, and do it with transparency

Not wanting to lose the attention of this audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed on the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lion's cage. Of cource, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it.

The Farmer, The Sheep, and The Robbers
A stupid farmer was coming home from a fair, leading a large sheep which he had bought there. His way lay along a lonely mountain side, where a band of rabbers had their den. Hidden among the bushes, the robbers saw the farmer and his sheep pass by, and they determined to play a trick on him so as to win the sheep for themselves. they thereforce separated and one after another of them met the farmer as he passed along the road.
The first robber doffed his cap and said, "good day, sir, where are you taking this dog?"
The second said, "good day, sir, where did you get this dog?"
The third robber even stopped the farmer, and inquired where his gun was. " for surely you would not have this dog with you unless you were going hunting, "he added.
And the fourth robber, coming up from the rear, put his hand on the sheeps head and said,"Ah, my friend, what a fine watch dog you have! " and went on.
By this time the farmer was very angry. "In sooth, " he cried aloud. " The man who sold me this beast be witched my eyes, for truly i thought that it was a sheep, whereas in reality it is nothing but a dog. I will hurry back at once to find the fellow and make him pay me back my money."
So saying, he tied the sheep to a tree by the road side and started back to the fair on a run. There upon the four robbers came out of their hiding places and carried the prize off to their den.
