Disagree:

        Those two parties need different amount of money. It is not wise to spend equal money.

##################Content############################################
       
I disagree with the statement that universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their university libraries for two reasons.

The first reason is that sports activities and universities have a different amount of people related. While every student need to go to the library to search for information or read, not everyone is interested in sports activities. There might be a 3 to 7 ratio as to students who are interested in sports versus students who needs the library. In this case, spending more on libraries will definitely benefit more people. If we spend equal money on these two apects, there might be two much money than needed for the sports activities. Which may induce beacracy in the sports department, and what's even worse is that there might be a large body of students complaining about the libararies' condition on campus, which may produce instability of campus life and result in a threat to the university both currently and in the long run.In this sense, it is reasonable to spend more on university libraries if needed, considering the large body of students involved.

The second reason is that sports activities and universities libraries are different intrinsically, so they may need different amount of money support For example, the money to spend on sports activities depends on the scale of activity, whether it's sports activity for usual class or activity for large across-campus contest and many more factors. While expense for libraries could be money spent buying new books, maintaining current facilities, holding lectures and even hiring people to work in the libraries. With those variability in nature, those two parties could not be treated the same as to how much money should be spent.It should be best suited with the goual of the university, whether it want to be featured as a sports activities centered one or a more academic one.

In conclusion, I do not agree with spending equal money on sports activities and universities libraries for the number of people involved and the intrinsic difference of the two aspects.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to use printed material
such as books and articles to do research than it is to use the internet. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

#################outline###################
Disagree
        printed material a waste
                papers
        not time sensitive
                e-articles are ahead of time

################content######################
Research is now more and more important in people's lives.Not only does research provide the academic results for unknown things, it also provides better understanding about things that we familiar with. Regarding to the medium that we use, I do not agree with the statement which states that printed materials are better than the internet. Instead, I think, the internet has its own advantage over printed materials for two reasons.

The first reason is that the internet does not have physical limits during research, while printed materials do.You can access any material at any time that is on the internet, provided you have the internet.However, printed materials are confined to specific location. If the researcher' place is far away from the materials' location, it could take time for the transportation of the materials. It is not only costly, but also time consuming. However, time is critical for cutting edge research.For example, I know that many labs are doing research in the same field.If they do not know about the most recent published paper, they may end up repeating others work. This is not only a waste of time, but also discourages the researcher's enthusiasm toward research.

The second reason is that the internet provides a more organized way for presenting information.As we all know, nowadays, it would be much quicker to search with a keyword through any browser to find specific information than to look it up through a pile of books. What's more, most of the contents on the internet could be copied and pasted very easily, which makes keeping the information organized handy.For those who use printed materials, searching and copy/paste are generally not available.

In conclusion, printed materials is not better for research than the internet. The internet does not have physical limits and information presented are mostly well-organized.If we could combine these two kinds of ways for research, the would be best.
