Task 1 重复2024.6.8

Some people like to read certain books more than once. Others prefer to always read something they have never read before. Which do you usually prefer? Explain why, using details and examples.

Task 2

取消非理科生对science课程的要求

“No Introductory Science Requirement”

Currently, all students must take an introductory science class in order to graduate. However, there are a limited number of these classes offered, and many students who need to take them, so it is difficult to find available courses to register for. I think the university should eliminate the requirement for students who are not science majors. This would solve the problem for science students like me, who often can’t register for these important classes that we need to take in our first year of studies. Also, non-science students don't need to take these science courses anyway since they won’t need to use the scientific information in the future.

四、写作部分

综合写作(重复2019.10.26)

阅读内容是bird feeders对鸟有害

三个原因分别是：

因为鸟类大量聚集在一起会增加眼病的概率;

因为bird feeder一般设置在家附近，会被家猫等predators捕食，以及逃避时看不到窗户和车窗撞到而死亡;

因为有了食物鸟就不migration了，会让它们没法mate

听力否定

眼病是因为鸟经常在各个group活动老是接触然后增加风险;

鸟类从bird feeders得到的营养使其能更strong health和productive，更好养育下一代，这个数量比被捕食的鸟类数量多多了，

鸟类不是因为食物而迁徙而是因为阳光日照时间变短就会迁徙了

判断新闻真假的方式

The best way to determine whether the information is accurate and truthful

Doctor Achebe

Next week, we are going to talk about ways to evaluate online sources of information. As you know, while there is a lot of information available on the Internet, it is not all equally reliable. Not all the information you find on websites is accurate, and some of it is even intentionally misleading. When looking for information online, what do you think is the best way to determine whether the information is accurate and truthful?

Kelly：If I need to be sure information is accurate, I consult scholarly, peer-reviewed sources, like academic journals. If other experts have reviewed the information and approved it, then I know it is likely to be reliable. If I have any doubts, I can always ask my professors.

Andrew：While I agree with Claire to an extent, not all the information you need is available in academic journals. If I need more general information online, I consider the source. Who posts the information to the site? Do they have anything to gain from presenting inaccurate information-for example, are they selling a product related to the topic? Asking these kinds of questions is important.
