THE TITLE is It has to be changed

We have to write an essay today and it was about "Visa regulations should be relaxed for overseas students. To what extent do you agree or disagree?",

And, I've found one of my classmates wrote the best essay!
I've read it and it's good! Good in the tenses :)

Okay, stop talking nonsense. :D

Here we go~

"IT HAS TO BE CHANGED"

Are you an overseas student? Well, I am and I am still holding a student visa in this country. But, holding this pass means that you are abidding by the local law and you cannot do anything you want. It is true that we should obey the law wherever we go, however there are still some unreasonable laws that I think we should not follow. The government has to change them.

Firstly, we cannot take leave whenever we want to, if you are sick! You have to get an MC from a doctor which can cost you a buck! You cannot just say, "Oh, I'll be fine after resting at home and I don't need a doctor", the government won't accept that, they need to see the proof, they want you to show them the so called "Medical Certificate" to prove you are sick! So, as for many overseas students, they would rather endure their pain and attend the class than paying expensively to see the doctor and get the MC. You can be sich and rest peacefully only on weekends and holidays, so if you want to get sick, check your calendar first.

Secondly, we are prohibited from doing part time job. There are no such rules in other countries! The government is afraid that some people might use the student visa just to work in their country, but that is not true at all! In fact, part time job can help students from poor families to lighten their family burden. If you won't let students work than indirectly you mean that poor people can't study in your country and that is MASSIVE DISCRIMINATION! Although, it may be true that some schools offer study grants for students with good merit, the study grant is very limited, it can't help all the students. How about a study loan from the bank? Is it useful? Is it easy to get? But the most important question is, when can we return all the money plus the interest? Why won't the government let us work? This would lighten the burden for the students and we can study in a more relaxed athmosphere.

Shakesphere said, education is the most important thing for humans. Without education, a human is just an empty-shell. So, the process of acquiring knowledge should be a fun and relaxed. The government must change the current rules for the student visa so that learning will be easier for all of us.


~The End~


How do you think? Do you think his essay is good? :)
