I think that it is better to read newspaper or use the Internet than watch television. First, I can get broader information. When I watch TV, the information I want isn't always being shown so it is very limited. But we can just type in the word and get every kinds of information by using the Internet. Second it is more effective. We can carry the newspaper so we can read them whenever or wherever we want. Also, we can open up the Internet and get information whenever we want so we can save our time.

The university notice was about all the students being required to take the residence in the university dormitories. The man disagrees with the notice. First, there is no need to increase the student housing fees. He actually had to pay more and more when the years passed and so frankly, he was becoming burden. So the new change can solve the man's problem. Second, he liked all students being required to take the extracurricular activties. Actually, there was nobody doing the extracurricular activity before while the man thinks it is very useful. Since more people are involved in doing extracurricular activities, he will sign up for a club or join the sports team.

First one was about a scientist having an experiment of determining the average size of the fish in the lake. He actually caught fish with the net but it was too big. So, he couldn't catch small fish therefore, we can say that there is an error in the study. Second example was about a political survey. There was a political survey taken at the afternoon by the phone. The survey was taken by the disportianate number of housewives so the survey wasn't taken by truly random sample of the population.

Also, I can go there later in my life.

The profeessor discusses the problem of children generalizing too much or being too specific when trying to learn things. He gives two examples and the first one was about generalizing too much. There was a child who asked his parents what the animal's name is and the parents answered it is a horse. And after when he saw any other animals with 4 legs, he said they are horses. The second example was about the professor giving a doll for her daughter's birth. When her friends visited her, she saw her friends' dolls and she refused to say that they're dolls because she thought that the only doll was her own.

First, I can get much help. I can gain broad knowledge and also, I can find particular information in the library or get practical experiences by using the laboratories. Second, I can use the facilities whenever I want. The school is always opened but however, it is hard to make schedules with qualified professors.

The letter to the editor states that the school should renovate the Student Center Cafeteria because it's too crowded and doesn't have enough room for students both to eat and study in. The woman disagrees with the writer of the letter. First, she claims that the students don't all have to eat at the cafeteria. For example, she mentions that there are many eateries around campus and even tells the male student that she has seen him eating at a cafe elsewhere on campus. In addition, she claims that the Student Center is always too noisy anyway, so it's fairly useless for the students to study there. She mentions that because of all the people chatting there, the Student center is a bad study environment. She claims that the school should renovate the library, not the cafeteria, to enable students to study better.
