How Culture Affects Writing in English
When you begin to learn a new language, whether it is English or any other language, you start with the basics - vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar. As you get better and better, however, you begin to realize that some words don't really have a translation in the other language, or that when you say them properly, the translation is somewhat indirect.

Severe Disadvantages Of Standardized Testing
Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” (Goodreads). Knowledge defines what we know and understand. Imaginations are what will discover in the future. Standardized testing was created in the 1920s, by Alfred Binet. Standardized tests are given to students in a consistent matter. This means each student is given the same question, the same amount of time to complete the test, and is also scored on the same scale for everyone. These questions could be true and on multiple questions. However, there is an ongoing argument on whether standardized tests are a valid method to determine a student’s level of knowledge. People who support standardized testing argue that this is a valid way to eliminate bias in grading, and that identifies where a student is struggling the most. While many institutions standardized testing, it is not a reliable measure to determine a student’s performance.

My Filipino Story, Part Three
In every interesting plot of a tale of highschool woes, there is almost always at the center of it the one group of people that dominate and rule the social scene, the ubiquitous popular crowd. In my school, a Filipino catholic school run by Augustinian Recollect nuns at that time, that set was The Amoebas. The Amoebas did not sport the telltale high-low popular girl uniform like immaculate gel nails, polka dotted Mango mini skirts, Balenciaga sneakers, armed with their LV cross bodies, but you could still sort of sniff their ilk out of the crowd.
