Finally, teaching is the most effective and most enjoyable way to change the world.Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement that kids must be taught about hand-writing. SampleI agree with the statement that students must be taught how to handwrite for the following reasons. First of all, building up a large vocabulary is a very important part of education, and handwriting helps students to achieve it. Take Chinese for example, one must learn how to handwrite individual characters in order to master the language. Second, although people rely very heavily on computers in www.smartstudy.comdaily life and work, there are times when we have to write without computers or typewriters. For example, when the electricity is out or our computers break, we have no choice but to handwrite what we need.Task 3ReadingProposal: The student suggests that a committee should be formed to run the funding program instead of letting the administrator decide.Reason 1: Students know what they need and whats importantReason 2: Good for leadershipListeningThe student disagreesReason 1: The administrator is more objective than the studentsReason 2: Students are too busy to join a committee like thatTask 4Definition: Scope creek means the request a client makes later on is different with the agreement they had before, and thus cause a conflictExample: The professors friend has a construction company, one of the clients wants a wooden fence done and they only had an oral agreement, later on the client mentioned that he wanted the wooden fence painted white when the work was almost done, that was something they didnt agree on at the beginning, so www.smartstudy.comthere was a conflict, even though the professors friend agreed to paint the fence white, it was an unpleasant experienceTask 5Problem: The womans roommate goes to sleep too early ,the woman needs to stay up late to studySolution 1: Sleep early too herselfPro: /Con: Shes not a morning person, and there are other things to do in the morningSolution 2: Go to the library at night to studyPro: /Con: Inconvenient, her desk in the room is comfortable, and her books and notebooks are all in the roomTask 6Two advantages brought by forest fire to animalsAdvantage 1: Easier for predators to find foodExample 1: Wild turkey like to stay at the edge of the fire to wait for insects that are running away to prey onAdvantage 2: Small animals can find a place to liveExample 2: Some trees are harmful to the beetles, but after the fire, beetles can www.smartstudy.comeasily lay eggs on the dead trees and even find food on themTask 1: What suggestions would you like to give a child who is starting school?SampleI would like to give the following suggestions to a child who is starting school.
