4.2   Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order to truly understand world events, reading newspaper is better than watching TV.

In the era of televisions making penetrated into people's daily life, the television, with its vivid pictures and real sounds, is compared as a window to help individuals know what is happening around the world. However, merely knowing the news does not equal digging up its significance. To truly understand important events, people need to focus on the news itself, to reflect and to handle specific details, which are just what newspapers promise. Therefore, it is newspapers that give people an insightful look into the important events.

First, compared with televisions, newspapers are more likely to compel people to concentrate on the fact itself. While televisions bring the audience great shock with pictures and sound, they are also at the risk of distracting people to the dramatic but trivial stories. By contrast, with terse and abstract written words, newspapers offer the information direct to the gist, forcing people to pay attention to the important events. For example, when President Obama gave the speech in China, what the audience focused was the woman in a red dress, sitting behind the president; whereas most newspaper readers concerned about the printed speech-newspapers only offered this material. Hence, newspapers are more conducive to attract people's attention to the important event.

Further, contrary to the television, newspapers ensure sufficient time for people to regurgitate the news about important events. With a sequence of moving images, televisions always drag people's thoughts forward and people cannot pause or rewind the television program to reflect previous information either. By contrast, readers can stop to read the printed news at their disposal, reviewing what has already happened and speculating the possible development of important events. Accordingly, newspapers enable people to deliberate what has happened thoroughly.

Last but not least, in comparison with televisions, newspapers supply more deep details to people. For one thing, a television reporter can record an event only if a camera is at hand, whereas a newspaper reporter can recall any event according to his/her memory, delivering both the fact and the reporter's opinions to readers. Further, some important people and undercover agents in the global events are more willingly to be interviewed by newspapers reporters since they are hesitate to be exposed to the camera. Thus, newspapers are more likely to reveal the firsthand information, which enables the public to achieve a grasp of more authoritative news.

To sum up, even though the television help people know important events with its animated form, the newspaper allows people to meditate more specifics about the event itself. Thus, it is newspapers that give people the power to comprehend the panorama of global events.

4.4    Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The car has had a greater influence on our life than the airplane has.

In the era of transportation innovations making penetrated into the modern society, vehicles allow people to travel over a vast area that it would take a few days or even several months to walk over. Among these transportation tools, the airplane, considered to be the emblem of beautiful people, reduces the time spent on the journey the most. However, compared with the introduction of the car, its effects pale. The airplane merely makes difference to those who have to travel hundreds of kilometers over; the car makes sense to people's daily life. The airplane barely utilizes unrenewable resources negatively; the car contributes to the harnessing of environment-friendly resources; the airplane just charges once a time; the car requires long-term expenses. Therefore, it is the car that shapes people's lives further.

The first influence of the car is that compared with the airplane, it promises people a more convenient life. It is true that the airplane can take people hundreds of or even thousands of kilometers away in several hours. Nevertheless, to ordinary people living in comparatively small areas, such as a town or a city, the convenience of traveling a long distance offered by the airplane has nothing to do with them. They only need to hurry to the office or the home in several minutes and this is just what the car, kinds of small but flexible vehicle, promises. Hence, the car gives ordinary people easier lives.

Another effect of the car is that contrary to the airplane, waiting to share the fruit of new resources, it prospers the exploiting of clean and renewable resources. Nowadays, those airplane factories still manufacture planes powered by kerosene, oils and gasoline-these unrenwable resources, whereas automobile engineers have already invented cars relying on various efficiency and environmental-friendly resources, such as electricity, water-hydrogen and solar energy. Even though the widely harnessing of such cars still need something to be done, it still contributes more to the new energy utilization and environmental protection than the "idle" airplane.

The third, but somewhat negative, impact of the car is that it burdens heavier economic pressures on people. Airplane passengers only need to pay for the ticket, the additional charge of oils and security once a time; while to car owners, things go much more complicated. Except the cost of the car, they have to pay a series of extra and constant charges, such as the increasing oil fees, tolls, parking charges and so forth. Moreover, added up these car-related expenses, they are even higher than the charges following traveling on the airplane. Hence, the car enables people's budget to be tighter.

To sum up, even though the airplane probably liberates people from initial long and enduring journey, its influence is dwarfed by that of the car. It is the car that brings more dramatic changes, both positive and negative, to people's lives.

4.5    Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most advertisements make the products seem much better than they really are.

In the era of mass media making penetrated into the modern society, concerns, whether the information on these vehicles reflects the reality, emerge. For the advertisement, it definitely beautifies the real merchandise for the reason that no matter manufacturers or advertises or consumers, subconsciously or consciously, intend to enable the product to be glorified in the advertisement.

To begin with, manufacturers must highlight the strengths of their product to compete against their rivals in the market. For one thing, manufactures are trying to create the unique selling point of their products to distinguish from other regular products and to persuade the consumer that this function can better meet their needs. Moreover, the manufacturer will intend to hide the drawback of their product to convince the customer that their products are "perfect". For example, it is common to see that a large amount of medicine advertisements only try to emphasize they have a greater positive effect over their competitors without mentioning any side-effects. Consequently, these advertisements give people the illusion that they can be cured in an efficient and safe way, but this is not the case - a bunch of people actually die of medicine abusing. Hence, the real goods are not the same as what the advertisement promises.

Further, advertising agency will polish the products through various strategies. For instance, the use of celebrities is kind of effective strategy. It seems that the positively perceived characteristics of the celebrity can be transferred to the advertised product and for the two become linked in the audience's mind automatically. Thus, the consumer will tend to consider that the product has superb performance just as the celebrity is of good quality. For instance, one might have a car commercial that features a well-renowned race car driver. The car might have a poor performance but if a popular driver shows driving it and says "I like my car's fast", people might still believe the car is impressive for speed. Accordingly, the advertisement delivers a better image of the product to the customer.

Last but not least, customers are more likely to watch exaggerated advertisements and buy merchandises in these advertisements. Customers, strangely, believe that if they buy products displayed in those elaborated advertisement, they will "be like" those beautiful people in the ad and feel better about themselves. This, in turn, propels both the manufacture and the advertiser to depict a splendid though illusive picture of the product in the advertisement.  

To sum up, rather than a mirror, perhaps, the advertisement is more like a magnifier, by which manufactures and advertisers intensify the advantages of their product, and through which the customers see what they expect to be. Therefore, most products are superior in the advertisements than they really are.

4.8     Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students at university or in college should choose the most difficult classes even if they cannot get top grades (marks) in them.

I agree with the statement insofar as students should not take courses for the reason to obtain high marks. Nevertheless, the motivation, acquiring accomplishment by passing exams of difficult courses, is open to doubt either. After all, the main missions of students are to enhance their faculty and learn real in-depth materials rather than overcome difficulties brought by several subjects. Plus, those difficult curriculums might occupy students’ limited time and energy that they could otherwise spend on their majors. Therefore, I contradict that students should take difficult courses without any rational reasons.

To begin with, the statement fails to take into account students' cognitive and intellectual capacities. Since students' abilities vary according to their different concentrations, it is possible that they are not able to understand some certain difficult lessons beyond their major. For example, to art students, though proficient in creative and concrete thinking, they are relatively weak in logic and abstract reasoning, and thus, these students might totally not comprehend knowledge related to advanced natural science courses, which require logic thinking, though such subjects are indeed difficult to them. If so, taking advanced science courses can benefit them nothing but a low credit.

Further, there is high likelihood that students cannot achieve practical skills from difficult subjects. Recall the example mentioned above. For art students, neither can they apply advanced science knowledge, such as physics, astronomy or mathematics, to their future writing and creating careers nor to daily lives - to haggle with peddlers, simple calculation is enough. Hence, learning difficult courses, actually, is futile effort for some students.

Last but not least, taking difficult courses is at the risk of distracting students' concentration from their major research. Since academic research calls for tremendous devotion, it is undesirable for students to steer their finite time and energy toward irrelevant though difficult courses.

To sum up, unless students can understand and utilize knowledge learnt in difficult and relevant courses, it is unnecessary for students to take these courses simply to attain an experience of overcoming problems.
