• To conclude, let me r e c a p i t u l a t e the main facets of my narration.

• Community s e r v i c e is vital for a thriving democracy, and all citizens

• should do it. Reading to the blind w o u l d be my c h o i c e of s e r v i c e .

• Obviously, not e v e r y issue r e l a t e d to community s e r v i c e has been

• discussed. W h a t I leave f o r further commentary is an understanding of

• h o w the message of v o l u n t a r y community s e r v i c e can be sprea d to the

• w e a l t h y folks w h o w o u l d rather play golf.

• W h a t I h a v e a r g u e d here is that rock music is more popular than

• classical music because it can be danced to. H o w e v e r , I can't offer the

• comforting assurance that this is t h e only reason for rock's greater

• popularity. I h a v e m e r e l y scratched the surface of w h y rock is so

• popular. More work remains to be done about rock's popularity. For

• Clearly, The Chronicles of Narnia has had a strong effect on me. In

will• use templates as a w a y of letting students discover on their o w n t h e• syntactical s t r u c t u r e s of good essays. Only longitudinal study w i l l• prove, or d i s p r o v e , w h a t I t h i n k is t h e c a s e — t h a t students w h o

• I do not c l a im that only t h e elite, t h e best and t h e brightest, should go

• The main point here is that there are some types of sex determination on the• earth. It depends on the species.• In addition, I want to point out that the sex of human being is determined• by the production of hormones. As everyone knows, every beings have DNA. In• human case, the 23rd pair of chromosomes in the cell has influence to human sex.• Human being has the X chromosome and the Y one. If the 23rd pair was XX, the• human is female. On the other hand, if the pair was XY, the human is male. So the• sex of human being is decided by the pair.• Also of importance is the fact that some kinds of fishes can change their own• sex after they were born. The mechanism is unknown, but actually the sex can• change from the male to female if there were only two males or females. Moreover,• the tempareture of water influence to fish's sex. High tempareture bring them to• male, low tempareture bring them to female, and middle tempareture bring them• both sex.• The final feature that I would note is that some other species, such as birds• and bataflies, have totally different chromosomes, WandZ. The mechanizm of sex• determination is similar to human being, but of course it is not exactly some as• humans because of types of chromosomes.
