第一次真正动手准备。 所以,在30分钟内都没有写好提纲。 最后用了三个小时才完成。:(

写的有点长,而且是最老套的模板式的五段论,虽然很不想写成这样,但也没办法啦。 希望下次会更好。

49 Independent Task:
Do youagree or disagree with the following statement? It is important to know aboutwhat is happening around the world, even if it doesn’t affect your personallives. (20110430)
==================================================================================================





Recently a survey conducted by a news website shows thatsixty percents university students do not have a habit to learn currentaffairs. They think it is of no use or a waste of time. And many studentsprefer playing computer or online games to browsing news reports. In mostcases, the reason they give is those on-going affairs around the world havenothing to do with them. Virtually, they are completely wrong. It is cruciallyimportant to learn what is going on in the world.


First, it is a good way to stay young since keeping an eye onthe current affairs help to maintain a sense of curiosity. It is said thatfolks begin to grow old once there is nothing to make them curious. Forinstance, I know an old man, a friend of my grandfather, more than eightiesyears old, who still read newspapers every day. He feels happy and enthusiasticabout life--every time he sees a report about a new technology, he gets excitedabout it. As a result, young people all love to talk with him. Compared tothis, a couple living in my neighbourhood, who are only in their fifties, seemolder than him. They only care about his daily life, the price in grocery orthe weather of tomorrow. Even an increase in petroleum may lead them unhappyfor several days. Moreover, they often quarrel with each other or with theirchildren.


Furthermore, this concerns a citizen's responsibility. Alongwith the development of technologies in every field, we have realized that weare living in the global village, and everything happened in this world maymore or less influence our life. The tragic catastrophes like earthquake,tornadoes, and eruption of volcanoes, the more and more serious problem ofenvironmental pollution and global warming, the scandal in another country, allkinds of events like these affect our lives directly or indirectly. If we payneither compassion nor attention to them, once when we face these by ourselves,it is not possible to receive any help from other parts of the world.


Another significant advantage is that learning news can helpus develop an analytical mind. The report presented to us is not mere occurrenceof an event, but detailed analyses and comments on the matter. Whenever we reador hear the news, we need to think, judge and take a point of view. Sometime wemay need to gather more information. These skills are equally important to ourstudy and work. Taking the tsunami happened in Japan as an example, manyquestions raised in a series: whether we should continue to develop nuclearenergy, whether and how the radiation harm the food and environment, what thegovernment should do to copy with the victims. These thinking will benefit usin facing the problems that may happen in our own country in future.


In a word, it is of great importance to stay updated onmatters around the world. The time we spend on news provide more benefits thanthat on games or other entertainments. It not only reflects our attitude towardthe life and our responsibility to the society, but also promotes developmentin thinking and making-conclusion. Young people should be guided into learningcurrent affairs.

TPO09: IntegratedTask



The professor in the lecture agrees with the reading passagethat cars powered by internal-combustion engine do have some serious problems;however, she does not think the alternative car with hydrogen-based fuel-cellengine will solve these problems and eventually take place of them.


First,
about the fuel.It is true that petroleum is a kind of limited resource, and it may consume outone day. Yet, hydrogen is not an optimist resource, neither. Even though we canobtain hydrogen from water, the process is extraordinarily difficult, since itcan only get from liquid state at the temperature of -253 degree. It alsorequires large efforts to produce and store it.



Moreover, pollution problems still exist in the use offuel-cell engines. Indeed, the production of hydrogen combustion is water,which is clear for environment. The problem lies on the production of hydrogen.As mentioned before, it causes large amount of energy to obtain hydrogen gasfrom water in such low degree.


The last and most important part of problem is alwaysinvolved with money. The reading passage argues that the overall expense for hydrogen-basedfuel-cell engine car is cheaper than the cars with internal-combustion enginebecause of the higher efficiency of hydrogen combustion. The professorindicates that the manufacture of this engine is extremely expensive due to usingof rare material.

411 101211 do you agree or disagree withthe following statement? People think it is more enjoyable to work three days aweek for long time than work five days a week for shorter time.
--------------------------------------------------------------



It is Mondaythat is the most painful day for people must get up earlier and go back towork. While harrying up to catch the time, they are always thinking of how beautifullife would be if they were only required to work for three days, no matter howlong they would had to work in these three days. What would happen if theirdreams came true? Could they really finish the work as equally well as do they now?I do never think a minute that the result will be worse.


Some peoplemay argue that they can finish the same five day work in three day in samequality. However, the limit of human beings both in mental and physical make itimpossible. Just think of the difference between jogging 2000 meters five day aweek and jogging 5000 meters twice a week. Although the total amounts are thesame, but the effects are quite different. Actually our body has its limit,when we overrun it, the intense part of exercise do it damage. So is the work.The adding part of another five hours to a person who has already work foreight hours is overload to the body, and during that period of time, they maydo nothing but complaint of tiredness. Therefore, the total work productivitywill decrease.


Still, somepeople may mention that it is a good plan because it leaves us more time tohave a rest. A four-day weekend is indeed an obvious attraction to most people.But under careful consideration, we may find that everything will stay the sameas two-day weekends.
Looking back to thelong weekends or holidays in the past, how many times you go traveling withyour family? How many times you just indulge yourself in watching television orsurfing in net, and then go to bed by midnight, get up late the next day, andruin your weekends. How difficult for you to get up in the first going-back-to-workday, no matter how long the holiday was. As human beings, we are more likely tosurrender to our laziness and idleness. Moreover, the irregular life style isalso harmful to our body, if we get up earlier and eat supper much later in theevening in three days.



Altogether,it is the best way to work five days a week with shorter time for each day,which can keep higher work productivity and do benefit to our health.


=======================================================
TPO 10 IntegratedTask:
In thereading passage the author lists several reasons why the pollution hypothesisis more convincing than predation theory to explain the declination of seaotter in the western coast of North America. The lecturer, however, disagreeswith them and she has other explanations to this phenomenon.


First, thelecturer argues that the pollution in this area cannot explain why there arenot sea otters' bodies floating in the surface of the sea, if they are deadbecause of pollution, but the predation theory do. It can only make sense tothink that the preys capture the sea otters and eat them immediately.Otherwise, it is a puzzle to think where these bodies are.


Furthermore,since the human activities have involved in the ecosystem, as the lecturerexplains, the orca, which can no longer easily found food, may change theirpreying style and begin to eat small animals like seals and sea lions. So thedeclination of other sea mammals maybe result in human being's fishing of otherwhales, which decreases the food for large predators, rather than a result ofpollution.


Lastexplanation evolves the location of the sea otters. It is obviously to thelecturer that in some location, where the predators cannot access easily forexample in the shallow rocky areas, the number of sea other stays stable, andthis is not the consequence of the uneven concentrations of pollutions.

321 110115NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The main role of the university professor is to educate students rather than to do research.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I read a lot of students' blogs
on the Internet complaining about how their professors 'ignore' them when I was searching some information about universities.
They state that educating new college students is more important than doing research. Some students apply to a university to further their study in the hope of being guided by a certain professor based on which, they get really disappointed when they seldom talk to or even see the professor. This issue makes me ponder a while. However, I am completely convinced that for university professors, doing research is a job which is much more important than educating students. I will try to demonstrate my reasons in the following paragraphs.

First, students may forget that it is the research that makes a professor famous. Although the basic work for the professor is to educate students, professors always get their prestige through their important research which solves some puzzles or makes a great breakthrough in the field. Once a professor solved a problem, thousands of

ones followed. At this point, it is natural for professors to go on with their research and devote himself to the delicate career. Furthermore, for these scholars, the thing they are demanded for is not fame but time: in other words, they need more time to be engaged in academic study and can’t spare time to instruct their students even if they want to. Therefore it is normal for the professor to focus on the research.


Moreover, studying is a quite private procedure, in which a person collects, organizes and then tries to make a better understanding of what they learnt. Nobody including the best professor actually can help a student acquire the skills and ability to learn . Obviously in the process of learning, what a professor play a role on is
guiding the students by telling them where to find the information, how to thinking systematically and what preparation should be done to accomplish a excellent essay. Thinking thoroughly, it is not hard to tell the whole procedure can be achieved completely on their own. Nowadays, advanced technologies offer us a new way to gather information and enlarge knowledge, whatever problems students are unable to deal with, they can surf on the internet and search for the solutions conveniently. Consequently they can study voluntarily and independently without the assistance of professor unless they have questions that are too complex to acquire answers.

Since students can handle their studying by their own, it is no longer to occupy the time professors spend on the research relevant to the history and future of human beings.

we may see, the people in the world, respect the professor for their great endeavor
in the research, it is righteous and rational for professors to spend most of their time doing research.


Suggestions:
1.
Try to change the structure of your sentences. Attempt to use the passive voice, inverted sentences or “it is ...that...” etc.  And make a substitution of “They....” or “the students...”

2.
Replace the words appearing all the time like “educate students” with other ones, e.g. give lectures /seminars/inspire them to think critically and creatively/ offer academic guidance or instructions

3.
Pay attention to the use of conjunction, collect some useful words and phrases to fit your sentences together and avoid using “so” so frequently, it will make your expression blank.
