24th SEC Online Meeting
MONEY is somewhat the biggest matter in most of our lives. Without it, people can go crazy. However, each person has different look on this matter (money). Some states they cannot live in this world without money. On the other hands, some says they can live in this world without money. Furthermore, some people think that money is driving us to be greedy while others think money is just the thing that we need *****rvive in this world. Somehow, the question of ?oIs money being considered a ?omust? thing for human beings?T need?? still renders people to put into an ongoing debate among our society. We have chosen ?omoney? to be the topic for this Friday?Ts online meeting due to its importance and its role in the human?Ts realm.
Come and dig your thoughts on this issue. State your argument(s) to oppose your opponent(s)! Be precisely and be creative!!!

​

MONEY - the Ongoing Argument of Human Existence
1. How do you define "money"?
2. Do you think money is necessary for your living? Why?
3. Do you think it''s hard to earn money?
4. What do you think about the statement, ?omoney can buy everything?? Do you believe in this statement? Why and why not?
5. Would you let "money" control your life or you control over "money"? Which one do you prefer and why?
6. What would you feel or do if there is no existence of money in this world?
7. Here is a scenario: If a person owes you some money, and now he/she doesn''''t want to pay it back, what kind of reaction would you react? Would you go after him/her everyday to get the money back or would you just let that person have your money (your sweat)? What kinds of things you will do to solve this issue?
8. If I say "money" is not my main purpose in life. What would you say to me? Would you agree or disagree? If yes or no, please state your argument to please the opponent.
9. Is money the most important thing? Why and why not? If yes, tell us how money really means to your life. If no, what is the most important thing of your life?

Hi, everyone.
Recently our Online Meeting activity is not successful ''coz of some outcomes like yahoo and skype poor connection. We know that there are many members kindly willing to join, but this matter has disappointed you. So, I think all of us here are hope to have a smooth discussion together... That''s why I got an idea of changing the form of the Online meeting. Here is my idea:
1. We don''t have to gather just on Fri. Now, you''re free!!! Whenever you would like to have a talk, just set your stats "SEC Online Meeting". If we see that there are enough members to make a group, we will contact you immediately through: + Yahoo: to let you have a preparation and + Skype for a conference. Or, if you see your friends have that stats and you''re ready to talk too, ask them yourself...
2. The topics will be posted for you once or twice a week. Therefore, we will inform you when it''s posted on SEC.
3.. Plz, try to speak English when you''re in the Skype conference because this is an English speaking room.
4. After the meeting online, you should do a report on the link we provide you on every Topic Board. It helps you much on your writing skill. So, plz take it as a chance to improve yourself, not a compulsory task you have to archieve.
5. We really need your idea for the topic because we need a source of topics. So, plz support us to make the content and quatity of topics various and plentiful comparatively. ( send emails to secmods@yahoo.com, post articles to the thread of Online meeting, yahoo messenger directly, offline messages ). All is welcome appreciatedly !!!
Hope that this activity will be concerned and encouraged by everyone who really care about English !!!

Introduction:
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats;
There we''''''''''''''''ve hid our faery vats,
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cheries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world''''''''''''''''s more full of weeping than you can understand.
-- William Butler Yeats, The Stolen Child--
Memory of your Childhood
1. IF you have chance, do you want to back to your childhood??? Why???
2. What was your happiest and saddest memory of your childhood? Explain.
3. What was the wildest thing that you''''''''''''''''ve done in your childhood if you could recall it?
4. what was your childhood connected to, the image of your hometown, your friends., your first school,... ???
5. Which holiday you like most as a child ??? why??? Share with us.
Reference Reading:
My first childhood memory
?oArina, please! Get me out of here! I?Tm stuck! Please, hurry!?-were the first words and related images that came on my mind when thinking about one of my earliest memories. The person yelling desperately was my twin brother, Andy, who was stuck in the handle of one of the tall wardrobes from our grandparents?T house at the country and left hanging in the air like a coat.
The reason of all this trouble was caused by our biggest desire as kids that meant eating as many sweets as one could. But as Grandma was very strict and gave us a portion a day, we tried to get the sweets ourselves. With our minds set on this purpose and in absolute silence, so grandma, who was outside, could not hear us, we started to climb towards the wardrobe, which, in those times, seemed as a 500 meters tall sky-scrapper.
We managed to get on a tall chair and from there on the window?Ts sill, which was near the wardrobe. Then, we aimed the top of the wardrobe, towards which we jumped and managed to hold on to with our hands while hanging in the air. After that, we reached out our hands for the sweets, with the other supporting our hand. Once we grabbed a piece of chocolate or a candy, we were supposed to jump on the floor and enjoy our ?ocapturê? without anyone knowing about it.
Despite our ?operfect plan?, something went wrong. I was the first who climbed over there and I jumped first. But when Andy?Ts turn came, he wasn?Tt as lucky as me: he got stuck in one handle of the wardrobe and remained hanging by his trousers. He looked very funny like that, with his pants up to his head, which made him look like a wet coat left to dry. Andy started to panic, thinking we would get caught and uselessly tried to free himself from that enervating handle. His restless movements and his beginning to cry made him look even funnier than before. I began to laugh and kept on laughing because I couldn?Tt help myself with my brother looking so silly.
At that moment of ?ocrisis? entered grandma, who was very surprised to see one child crying and the other laughing. Finally, Andy was freed and we both got a lecture about asking for what you want and not trying to get it by yourself.
Andy?Ts silly look and restless movements will always remain in my mind as on of the funniest memories of my happy childhood. And believe me that wê?Tve learned our lesson because we never tried that again!
