He went to a pond full of frogs, and relaxed on the bank without any intention to hunt. At first the frogs ran away, but then they approached him. The frog king asked, “O Snake! Why don’t you hunt us as usual?”
The snake replied, “Last night, I bit a holy priest. He cursed me that from then on, I have to serve frogs. So, I lie here to give a ride on my back to any frog who needs service.”

Students need mobile keyboards to record every presented subject easily. Of course, it will need, more costs, but it will deserve its function.
First, modern schools tend to apply fast-transferring knowledge because the school needs to follow the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given in a demonstrative way. Consequently, students need extra media to cover the subject. Since there is a laptop on every student's desk, this method will help students to get a better understanding.

That is really easy and saves time and money.Because of all of that, having a mobile computer is absolutely useful for students who want to get the best result for their studies.

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.
Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust bins in our schools are not enough. One dust bins should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also in the corridors.
Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
