Share the Happiness with Hugs [FINAL FREE HUG CAMPAIGN]


There was a man holding a sign about offering free hugs for everyone. He was walking in the downtown and offering free hugs for everyone. But at the beginning, some people tried to keep a distance with him because people might think that he was insane or else. But the situation was changed when an elder woman came to him and asked to get a hug from him and the man was hugging old woman gladly. Many people paid an attention to the man when he was hugging the old woman, and after that some people wanted to get a free hugs from the man too. Everybody whether male, female, old and young wanted to get a free hug from the man and that was so sweet. When the man was carrying out his activities, The campaign "Free Hugs" was banned by the police. The man tried to explain what was the purpose of the campaign. After that, the police allowed him to continue his campaign and the other people started to do the same. They give a free hugs to everyone and during the campaign, the man give a signature list to the people who wanted to get a free hug and supported this campaign. Finally, the target of signature was reached. Ten thousand signatures was reached by the man and then to celebrate the success of his action, many people give free hugs and then hug each other. That was so sweet because the man wants to tell us that it's important to share and the happiness to the other people and also respect to each other. At last, this campaign was so great and of course it was so sweet.

Outline of Sukma’s post entitled “Free Hugs = Share Love NOT Drugs”


1. Topic sentence            :  There was a man with a black coat walking in the crowd.

2.         Major supporting sentence 1:

·         The man who wears that round spectacle walked alone and brought a sign with him
-          Minor supporting sentences:
·         “Free Hugs” was the words which was written in that white board.
            (I think it should be “Words which were” not “words which was”)
            Major supporting sentence 2:
·         At the beginning, everybody thought that he was crazy or under a medical treatment.
-          Minor supporting sentences:
·         There’s no one noticed him.
Major supporting sentence 3:
·         But, the condition was changed when an old lady started to hug him.
-          Minor supporting sentences:
·         The man who brought the sign suddenly gave his hug to her.
·         After that, he was started to give his hug to anybody else.
·         This is a very touching moment when everybody started to share their love by hugging somebody else.
            Major supporting sentence 4:
·         But, this action seemed a bit out of the law by the police.
-          Minor supporting sentences:
·         So, they banned this action.
            Major supporting sentence 5:
·         The thing wasn’t like that.
-          Minor supporting sentences:
·         The way to make the police believe was by writing a petition.
·         It was supported by the people, it showed when the people started to sign the petition.
(I think it can be separated into 2 sentences to make it sounds more natural)
·         There were a lot of people agree and support this action
·         Because of that, the police couldn’t say anything.

3. Concluding sentence:
            I can learn many things from this video. We may not underestimate somebody who we don’t know yet. Whether he or she has long/short hair, bad clothing, we have to respect each other. The main point is to share our love to other people. By hugging someone else we have shared our love and spread a positive feelings to others.
(At the last sentence, “a positive feelings” I think it should be like this “positive feelings” or “a positive feeling”.)
