Reaction Article (Sample)
Attention, all:
I provide a sample below for your reaction article. If you haven't written your article yet, please finish writing it and post it on your weblog by next Wednesday. And don't forget to turn in a hard copy of your article to Eiger, our class leader.
Sample
According to Diane Smith in "Prince William Lands RAF Helicopter in Girlfriend’s Backyard," Prince William got his pilot certificate one week ago. After that, he drove the helicopter all the way to his girlfriend’s house.
In my opinion, landing the helicopter in one’s girlfriend’s backyard is showing off instead of military training. According to the British government, Prince William landed in the backyard for only 20 seconds. They said it was a good way to get oneself familiar with different geographical terrains. However, for this landing, it cost about one million NT dollars. We all know that the British army’s shortage in Afghanistan is getting more and more serious. What if the money can be used to replenish the equipment in Afghanistan? The truth is that Prince William is a member of the privileged few who receive special treatment. This incident has caused great controversy in the UK.
This is a common phenomenon in every country all over the world. People who have higher social status are entitled to more privileges. This reminds me of a shocking news in Taiwan two weeks ago. A person reported to police that they received at least 20 creepy text messages that threatened to kill his family. After hearing that, the police said, “you are not dying yet, and there is no evidence showing that the sender will murder you.” Then, one day, the receiver’s mom was murdered by the sender. How cruel it is. If the police are willing to crack down on the crime, this tragedy would not happen. But they just fawn on anyone in an influential position. It’s time for the Taiwanese government to think about this issue again. (266 words)
