Work:Well personally i like the poem
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.


It vividly discribes the sidewalk and the text constantly ryhmes.However ,i found out that the ending of each paragraph always ends abruptly and does not ryme with the rest .Making it odd.It clearly describs the the flowers ,it location .The grass ,the sunlight were all very detailed and nice.This is a good poem.

Well,This is the prompt.
Do you agree that since a profesional sports career is short lived,you should not go into one?
No,i do not agree.First things first ,if there are no one contributing to the country's sports industry and contribute to the country's sports ahievements,there will be nothing for the country.Sports, is not short lived is because one is the fittest at the age of 20-30.Its is also a waste to not use a sports talent.For example ,i am a fit and young talent in sports.However ,nobody discovered me ,and i felt wasted .Being in the sports career for even a few years is what a lot of people dream of.To represent for the country,to bring pride for the country.Being a sport athelete can also be rewarding:if the athelete is very competent,and is very very good at the sport,and shines above all other atheletes,he can gain a lot of rewards from the government and gain enough money to use for the rest of ones life comfortably.However ,some atheletes may not be so talented as compared to its other athlete peers.When that happens,He/she may still fall back on education .They can seek jobs that is based on what they learned.This career depends on ones talent.Not everyone can be an athelete.Even less can be a famous one.It depends on how hard they work for it.

Should talented atheletes sacrifice their education to explore their full protential in the sporting arena?Discuss the pros and cons.

No,i think the atheletes should not sacrifice their education.Atheletes might be talented in their sports,but they also need to emphasise on their studies.Even though training is their priority,the should not neglect their studies.If they did not perform well during international events and do not earn any life savings, they have nothing to fall back upon.If they are educated ,they could at least earn some money to supplement themselves.However,if the atheletes concentrate too much on their studies,the might neglect their training and would not achieve their fame when they grow up.
