Why do some people like to watch horror movies?

A lot of people enjoy watching horror movies. I personally don't like to watch them.
Researches have told that people like to watch horror because they want to  experience complex and extreme emotional content. Adrenaline rush: When we watch scary movies, we can face your fears, but since we know that it's just a movie we don't have to face anything in reality. 
But do you like watching horror movies, and why do you prefer to watch them?
It was a cold night. I was alone on the second floor. At this time I was 6 years old. My mom was downstairs and my dad  wasn't home. I turned on the TV and there was a movie on. But I didn't know it was a horror movie. I quickly realised that it was a horror movie, because this ghost instantly showed up.The movie was about a girl who was sick. However her mother didn't have the money to buy her medicine. So the mother threw  the daughter in a well. The girl drowned and became a ghost. The scariest parts were when the girl  came out of the TV and killed the victim. The girl was wearing white clothing and her hair was very long so it covered her face. I got goosebumps every time I saw her.
 I was so scared of the movie, after it finished i was scared to move. Then i ran down the stair way and went on the first floor, because my mom was there with my grandmother. After the movie, for two months i was scared to be in the dark. I conquered my fear a long time ago, but i still don't like to watch horror movies.

The Effect of Music while studying

Read what a student says about music. Do you feel the same?

I like most kinds of music like pop, heavy metal and rock. I even think some pieces of classical music are great. I love listening to music and I have music on in the background when I’m studying. This of course makes my parents angry as they can’t understand how I can study while listening to music. I try to explain to them that it puts me in the right mood and actually helps me a lot.

The kinds of music  i like listening to are rap, electronic and pop. I don't like listening to classical music. I often listen to music for example, when i'm playing a game on my computer, when i'm riding a bike and etc. Music makes me happy. My parents can't understand how me and my friends like electronic music, they preffer music from the 90s and 80s.
Music is a big part of our every day life. We listen to it when we are studying, working, jogging, relaxing. But what kind of effect does the music make when we listen to it while studying. I personally don't prefer to listen to music while i study. But most of the students say that they concentrate better when the music is playing in the background. Some researches found out that sometimes listening to music while studying helps to memorize the material, but only if it is music without lyrics so you don't get distracted. Most of the students even listen to music in the library. What is your opinion on the effect of music while studying? 

A letter to the mayor

Dear Mayor,

 I wish you will understand our position.

Survailence Cameras

Today everything we do is under surveillance. I personally like the surveillance because we are safer. Also these cameras prevent crimes,and if the crime happens the police can identify the thieves more easily. In big countries like the UK and France there are cameras everywhere like on public transportation, on roads, and etc. There are also underwater cameras in some public pools that help to save the person if he or she is drowning. Some people predicted these massive government surveillance a long time ago. An american lawyer wanted to ask the people what they think about these cameras and discuss the bad and good things we gain from them. What do you think about this subject, do you think its good or bad for us?

Past Tenses

The Amazing Survival

In 2003 a man named Aron Ralston went on a rock climbing trip in a canyon in Utah. At that time Aron was 27 years old. While he was climbing he had his forearm on a rock. The rock became loose, Aron feel and the rock trapped his arm.He tried moving the rock but it was too big and heavy. In order to survive he needed to amputate his arm. It was a hard decision but he did it. After he could move, he walked  several miles and met people that helped him.I think that this  story is one of the bravest i have ever read, the man amputated his arm to save his life. This shows the wille for life that this man has. After Aron Ralston survived,  he went on to become a motivational speaker to show people that their wille is more powerful than anything. This a real life story of a brave man. Also i think that rock climbing is a very dangerous activity. Aron made a mistake because he didn't tell anyone of his family or friends that he went rock climbing. But he managed to cope with the hard situation in which he was. What do you think of this story and Aron's bravery? There is a movie made about this story and its name ,,127 Hours ''. The movie is based on the story, it got numerous awards for its real acting, screen play and etc. The movie is notable for wining several  including an Academy Award for best actor, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screen Play, Best Editing and Best Original Music.

145m Freediving World Record

                                             I think that this is one of the craziest sports and very dangerous. I was really amazed when i watched the video and keep in mind that this man has no air tank. There aren't a lot of people who risk their life for this kind of diving. I wouldn't like to try this any time soon.
