 QUIZ NO. 3: KINDS OF ESSAY

I. Direction: Identify what type of essay on each item.

1) Sexuality education may even cause harm because of the distorted and biased views about
premarital contract. It is time to give students more comprehensive and compendious sex
education programs that will better prepare them for the future.
2) Though cell phones are necessary for high school students in terms of their safety, they should
still be prohibited from use in school. This concept is founded on several reasons, such as
disrupting the educational process and facilitating students’ cheating, distracting students by the
possibility to access the internet, social media, or communicate with friends; finally, cell phones,
contribute to the spreading of the social phenomenon known as cyber-bullying.
3) Perhaps, since I am high school student, somebody might say that I have my entire life ahead of
me, with all its beautiful experiences. But, despite being so young, I already have a personal
breath taking experience, which, I am sure I will carry with me until my last days. What I am
talking about here is my first hike to the mountains.
4) Historically, the word Halloween is a contraction from the phrase All Hollows Even, which meant
the day before All Hollows Day. It is a Catholic holiday dedicated to the commemoration of saints
and martyrs for faith; today, though, we know it more as a holiday of trick-or-treating, scary
costumes, and entourage, and funny pranks. Gradually, Halloween has lost its religious
connotations, and has turned onto a holiday gladly celebrated by youth and adults across the
Western world on October 31.
5) The Great Wall, or Chang Cheng in Chinese, is massive. It begins in the east of the Yellow Sea,
travels near China’s capital, Beijing, and continues west through numerous provinces. For
thousands of miles, it winds like a snake through China’s varied terrain. Smaller walls extend from
the main wall. According to the conservative estimates, the Great Wall’s length is approximately
2400 miles. Its thickness ranges from 15-30 feet wide, and it reaches in height to about 25 feet.
For many centuries, the Great Wall has been considered one of the world’s wonders. (Tumbull &
Noon, 2007)
6) It was the 4th of July in blistering Nebraska, America’s Independence Day. As usual on every
Independence Day since I was five years old, George and Terry, my two best friends, and I went
on a picnic. I diligently carried out my household chores, packed my picnic bag, and off I went to
collect my friends by way of a bicycle. It is going to be an awesome day, I thought to myself to
myself as I sped down my neighbourhood street on my beat-up blue Schwinn.
7) When we take into account how many celebrities used illegal drugs, how unstable their family
lives are, and how much crime they commit, we can infer that celebrities should not be celebrated
as they are. It is in my opinion that celebrities are worse off than non-celebrities- we should
instead honour ourselves with self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-reliance. We do not need to
look up to famous individuals who can be termed by-and large as criminals, illegal drug users, and
down-and-out family members. Despite the veil of their success, on the whole, they are rather
miserable examples of human beings that should not be given the honour they have incurred.
8) Antibiotics were invented by Alexander Flemming in 1928 (Diggins). Antibiotics are chemical
substances produces by various microorganism and other living systems, and capable of inhibiting
the growth of dangerous bacteria and viruses. Before the epoch of antibiotics began, there was
not much that could be done for patients suffering from different infections, and death rates were
much higher than today.
9) Terrorists cannot continue their actions if they are prosecuted and detained. Grounds for criminal
prosecution include UN Security Council resolutions and outstanding U.S. indictments (Scheffer,
2001). Circumstances surrounding the attempted use of these grounds to prosecute terrorist
activities are not always favourable.
10)Living in the city is hard, even for those who were born in the industrialized environment of
crowded streets, huge supermarkets, crammed subways, and polluting factories. I was born and
raised in Dallas, so I know first-hand about heavy traffic and five-level interchange roads.
