But he is no ghost - he is a disfigured musical genius who has hidden away for years to avoid the cruel stares of strangers. With the Phantoms help, Christine becomes the venue's leading lady, but tragedy awaits as the young soprano has fallen for the charms of handsome noble Viscount Raoul De Chagny, not realizing her Angel of Music is deeply in love with her.

Good morning, I’m Allen Oshuard M. Gomez. I’m 16 years old lived in Taguig city. I’m a freshman in Asia Pacific College and taking a course of business administration major in business management.

Today I’m here to discuss about my belief in same sex marriage. Basically I’m against it and I will try to persuade you to oppose same sex marriage.

1.      Same Sex Marriage Violates Natural Law
Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It is a relationship rooted in human nature and thus governed by natural law.
Natural law’s most elementary precept is that “good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.” By his natural reason, man can perceive what is morally good or bad for him. Thus, he can know the end or purpose of each of his acts and how it is morally wrong to transform the means that help him accomplish an act into the act’s purpose.
Any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act violates natural law and the objective norm of morality.

2.       It Turns a Moral Wrong into a Civil Right
First of all, sexual behavior and race are essentially different realities. A man and a woman wanting to marry may be different in their characteristics: one may be black, the other white; one rich, the other poor; or one tall, the other short. None of these differences are insurmountable obstacles to marriage. The two individuals are still man and woman, and thus the requirements of nature are respected.
Same-sex “marriage” opposes nature. Two individuals of the same sex, regardless of their race, wealth, stature, erudition or fame, will never be able to marry because of an insurmountable biological impossibility.
Secondly, inherited and unchangeable racial traits cannot be compared with non-genetic and changeable behavior. There is simply no analogy between the interracial marriage of a man and a woman and the “marriage” between two individuals of the same sex.

In conclusion, marriage between a man and a woman forms the foundation for civilized society. Extending the definition of marriage to include same sex unions undermines the true meaning of traditional family.

Today I will tell you about video games can prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Have you ever not believed your parent when they told you something? Or argued back? Most kids do. Most kids also like video games. And most parents say they're bad for you. But really video games can be just as good as bad if not better. This is because games have a good benefits, mentally or physically and one of it is, it can also prevent Alzheimer’s.

Here are my Main points, first Benefits of videogames that can prevent Alzheimer’s second Games that can help to prevent the disease lastly More benefits that can help us in our daily lives.

So what is Alzheimer’s ? Alzheimer’s is a progressive mental deterioration that can occur in middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain. It is the most common cause of premature senility.

And here are some benefits of that can video games do to prevent Alzheimer’s

First it can slow down declining cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities involves operation such us perception, memory, creation of imagery, and thinking. And if declines you may have the following symptoms; Forgetfulness, Decrease ability to maintain focus and decreased problem solving capacity. so we can prevent it by playing video games.

Second it can lower the levels of amyloids. Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. They are insoluble and arise from at least 18 inappropriately folded versions of proteins and polypeptides present naturally in the body.

And now here are some games that can help to prevent the disease

1.      Card games

2.      Action games

3.      Strategy games

And lastly here are some benefits that can help us in our daily lives

It can improve your attention. If you played more than 5-10 hours per week your brian will be more efficient in the region associated with attention

It can slow down aging process. Specially designed brain teasing video games have been shown to slow the aging process of the brain by up to seven years. This is because they are cognitively complex and require mental energy.

It can improve your multi-tasking skills. Because of increasing of attention capacity due to action games it can increase people’s ability to take on additional task.

In conclusion video games is not a waste of time .It cannot also made you violent and bad influence to you but in opposite it has a good benefits. But let me add something, too much of anything is bad. All of this skill’s will be useful if you use them; which you can’t if all you do is play video games. So enjoy down time and relax with your games in moderation, but get out there and keep your life diverse as well. Because that’s how you’ll win in the game of life.
