argumentative essay step 2

     Today, there are tremendous amounts of animal testing. Animal testing is widely used when researching new medicines, cosmetics, toxicology, and psychology. Also, there are many debates among this testing. I do agree that animal testing is effective in some way. However, I strongly believe that animal testing should be banned.

     To begin with, animals have a right not to be harmed. Animals are also living creatures like humans. Although some people would declare that animals are not same as humans, it’s true that they do have rights. Not only they are just merely living creatures, they also feel similar feeling with humans. They feel pain, fear, and pleasure as humans. Thus, testing them is very morally bad.

     Moreover, animals are different from humans. I mean, animal testing can’t get accurate result as humans do. Animals have been used as testing samples for a long time. However, there are basic differences between animals and humans both physiologically and psychologically. Most common used animal researches are medical and psychological researches. Thus, basic difference between humans and animals are crucial. Sometimes, this fact will derive development of ineffective medicines. However, sometimes, this fact will create disasters. We are having animal research to be careful before using medicines to human. However, if animal testing creates disaster, animal testing has no meaning. Thus, it should be banned.

     Furthermore, research can be done effectively without experimenting on any living creatures. If we don’t stop experimenting on living creatures, we will never know how much we will be able to advance without them. Nowadays, researchers are very familiar to animal experiments thus, they don’t think thoroughly when they do theoretical research because they just see what’s happening to animals. If this cycle doesn’t stop, researchers will become lazier over and over again and this will slow down technical advance.

     Therefore, I strongly believe that animal testing should be banned because it’s bad for moral and practical reasons.

Photo essay

     KMLA was my goal when I was at middle school. Since I was 7^th grade, I grew up my desire to go to KMLA and I was full of hope that I can go into the school. That desire and hope drove me to work and study hard. I prepared myself by attending one academy—a very family-like academy—and it is not an exaggeration that all memories of my middle school life came from there.

     The photo was taken by me at the academy right before the interview of KMLA. That day was the final day of attending the academy. All students including me were very sad since we felt all people at the academy as family members. We spent about 3 years together for one goal—KMLA, however, during the process of preparing for that goal, we got much more important things—memories.

     As time passed, all students including me could feel that our last day was not far away. We should prepare both applying for KMLA, and sad farewell. Although there were many stresses of studying, writing essays and doing homework, we endured by standing each other, and playing with each other. All those memories piled up and that took a great portion of our lives. The pile of memory was not negligible.

     Moreover, we didn’t know who will get passed to KMLA and accomplish their goals. The atmosphere of uncertainty surrounded us and everyone was a bit anxious. Even though everyone prepared hard, anyone could certainly declare that who will get passed. In the atmosphere of that desperate feeling, we were facing the last day.

     Thus, farewell was an unwelcome guest to all of us. We decided to make last memory. We started to write our name on the blackboard. Everyone wanted to see each other at KMLA again, but it was unrealistic. We should have said bye-bye to each other. After we wrote our names, we took the photo and that photo is appeared above. Unforgettable memory had been made.

     I chose that photo since it took great portion of my memories. When I see the photo again and again, I can remember all the things that I’ve done in the academy with friends, and when I remember every single event, I smiled automatically. The event that we wrote our names on the blackboard itself was also very meaningful and creative.

     Now, it is 2 years from when the photo has been taken. Some names can be seen in KMLA and some are not. However, what really important is not the fact that merely I’m in the KMLA right now, but the memory and photo will last forever in my deep mind.
