Summarize in not more than 120 words, describing how Sam became an alcoholic and later kicked the habit.


" I want some more beer ..." Sam turned around and saw a dirty, unshaven drunkard mumbling in coherently as he wobbled aimlessly along the road. Shaking his head, Sam continued his way back home.
Sam did not bother to switch on the lights at home. Everyone must be asleep at this late hour, he thought. He tiptoed into Marie's bedroom and found her sleeping soundly, snugly tucked under her pink comforter. Sam bent over and kissed his beloved five-year-old daughter's forehead. "Thanks, dear. If it was not for you, I would never have turned over a new leaf," Sam whispered in gratitude, recalling the drunken man he saw a while ago.

A year ago, after being retrenched from his computer company, Sam felt dejected and worried about how he was going to provide for his family. The situation worsened when he failed to secure a job after months of intensive searching. Soon, Sam began to indulge in alcoholic drinks to drown his sorrows. His savings which was used to sustain the family expenses during his retrenchment was tremendously depleted by his drinking habits. Soon his wife, Catherine, became the family's sole bread winner.
Catherine's efforts to stop Sam from drinking were futile. Alcohol had transformed the once-gentle family man into a violent beast. Sam began to hit his wife when she refused to give hi money for his drinks. Once Catherine tried hiding his drinking bottles, hoping to stop Sam from drinking. Sam was so agitated when he could not find his bottles that he locked Marie into her bedroom and threatened her into revealing the hiding place. The incident instilled terror in Marie and thereafter, she tried her best to avoid Sam
These traumatic incidents continued until the launch of the "stop Drinking" campaign by the government. Striking and persuasive posters were put up in the public to persuade alcoholics to kick their habit. None of them succeeded in bringing Sam to his senses except one. The poster illustrated an alcoholic man abusing his wife while their terrified daughter cried helplessly. The slogan accompanying the poster was: 'Will Your Children Be Able To Draw A Happy Family Again?'. Sam suddenly recalled a poster entitled 'Happy Family' drawn by Marie for school before he began drinking. As if released from a spell, he realized how irresponsible and abusive he had been. Overcome with guilt, he quit drinking totally.
"Sam, why aren't you going to sleep?" asked a concerned Catherine.
"I'm coming, Catherine," Sam replied with a smile as he headed for his room

The argument had been going on for nearly an hour. By now, the growl coming from Marcel's stomach was audible to his friends. Claudette had been asking for pizza this entire time, but Pablo would not budge. He repeatedly told them that they always settle for pizza, and this time he wanted to try the new Italian cafe and he would not budge for anything but cafe food. Marcel, tired of being interrupted by his gut, began to counter that a cafe did not have meal-sized portions, and by now he had gone from slightly hungry to extremely ravenous. However, Pablo and Claudette seemed to ignore Marcel's input and continued to bicker between the only two options they cared to consider.
Then Marcel had a marvelous idea. First, he allowed his friends to tire themselves out arguing for a bit longer. When they finally took a breath, Marcel saw his chance. "You know, there is a new restaurant down the street, which offers a buffet where we can get pizza, cafe food, and anything else we might want." As expected, Pablo and Claudette used Marcel's talking point as a chance to catch their breath before going back to talking over one another.
Pablo had been giving in to Claudette and her need for pizza for months now. It was always pizza because pizza was never an option at home and he knew this. Eating with Pablo and Marcel was Claudette's one time to eat something a little less healthy, so she was adamant to eat pizza. Claudette and Pablo were both stubborn, so when Marcel offered up the chance to try a new place that would satisfy what everyone wanted, it went in one ear and out the other. Marcel was prepared for this, but he also knew his two friends often had a delayed reaction to good news when they were arguing amongst themselves.
After a few more minutes of going back and forth, Claudette and Pablo suddenly stopped. They both turned to Marcel, as if they just had a new idea."Hey, there is that new buffet place. Isn't it just down the road?" Marcel smiled as Pablo and Claudette came to an agreement to give the buffet places a try. As Claudette led them out the door, Marcel hid a smile.

My Doves

by Louisa May Alcott


Opposite my chamber window,

On the sunny roof, at play,

High above the city's tumult,

Flocks of doves sit day by day.

Shining necks and snowy bosoms,

Little rosy, tripping feet,

Twinkling eyes and fluttering wings,

Cooing voices, low and sweet,—


Graceful games and friendly meetings,

Do I daily watch to see.

For these happy little neighbors

Always seem at peace to be.

On my window-ledge, to lure them,

Crumbs of bread I often strew,

And, behind the curtain hiding,

When do you start and stop being a youth?

Evaluate the effectiveness of this ad. Why is association a good strategy for the target audience?

Spread music. Not Flu.

What would you do if you had to leave your home country with one bag? (Assume you would not return to your home)

How would you feel?

Where would you want to go? Or who would you want to go with?
