1. Should a factory be built in your community?

I strongly oppose of this plan that a factory build in my community. My reasons for this idea
are as follows:

The first and foremost reason is that building factories in residential areas will increase the
pollution of the air, which is harmful for the people who are living near these factories. In
addition, even though they claim that with today's technology and machines they can handle
this issue but as a matter of fact, those are not efficient at all.

Besides pollution, which is to some extent an invisible but deadly threat to my community,
there is an immediate problem that a large factory will be forced to confront, that will occupy
most of the city areas, which will cause numerous headaches for the citizens. Instead of
these factories, we can allocate these places for green areas like parks, which are more in
demand.

Taking into account all these factors, I find the disadvantages weigh much heavier than the
possible advantages. Therefore, I strongly disagree with the establishment of a large factory
near my community.

2. Are books more important than experience?

No one can deny that both books and experience are great resources for gaining knowledge
about different things. If I were asked, experience is more valuable than books. Comparing
the features of the two sources, I would emphasize the following reasons:

To start, knowledge gained through experience is practical and this type of understanding
will be more retained in our long-term memory than in books. For instance, if we want to
learn how to drive a car and use a book without practically going to the roads, it will not be
sufficient to become a good driver; however, if we start driving a car, we will gain a better
understanding of how to drive a car.

Secondly, knowledge derived from books, to some extent, is a piece of abstract information
about facts and rules rather than behaviors. One example of this is that books merely give
us great points about teamwork but participating in a group can provide us with a deeper
knowledge and understanding.

Summarizing the said above, admit that the notion "experience is the best teacher" is
perfectly true.

3. Why go to university?
Most of people after finishing their high school gor to university. There is no shortage of
opinion about the advantages of university. In my opinion attending to university after school
is a must. I feel this for two main reasons which i will explore in the following paragraphs.
First let us look at the effects of university environment in a persons personality which cause
to have interaction with other students, instructors and other staff with different backgrounds.
I have to admit that my opinion on this matter has been powerfully influenced by my own
personal experience. I was not feeling confident when I had a presentation but during my
studies at university i had to have once a week which that made me to talk with others go to
the library and for these reasons that all caused to feel more confident and changed me to a
social person.

Another important reason is, that prepare you to stat your professional life and to career and
change you to an expert in your field with lots of experiments, lessons, exams.

In light of the above mentioned reasons, I strongly believe that university has a huge impact
in our social behaviour and future career

10 . The Importance of hard working.

There is no shortage of opinion on hardworking as a key of success. I do believe that,

hardworking and doing smartly are both matters. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I
will explore in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, just doing hard is not adequate. As an instance, lets consider two farmers that
are working all day with lots of efforts. The first former is using a cow for ... All day and
finishing it by the end of the day whareas the second one is using a tractor and fishhing ...
And the sequence doing.....‫ تخم پاشی‬and finish two work in just one day.
For this reason, just hardworking is not going to solve the problem.

Secondly, A person can excel in his career due to hard work. If he sits at home, no one
would offer him a job unless he initiates the job searching process. Also if you are working in
a company you will be promoted only because of working hard.

n light of the above mentioned reasons, I strongly believe that

The article introduces the topic of population growth concerns. More specifically, the
writer discusses the concerns of an increasing population. The lecture in the listening
passage states that this is not a massive concern and does not have a negative
effect. The author begins the reading by stating that increasing population leads to
the exclusion of species because people use more water and give it less time to
replenish. The lecturer, however, disagrees with this viewpoint. He states that all
scientists and non-profit organizations agree that there are no threats to the species.
He goes on to say that today's technology makes all water drinkable. The author
claims that an increasing population will lead to conflict and war due to a scarcity of
resources and poverty. Again, the lecturer believes that there are flaws in the writer's
arguments that there is no more war because of scarcity, the products are now
cheaper than before, and there is no need for basic things. To sum up, both the
writer and lecturer hold conflicting views about the effects of an increasing
population.

Many people are in two mind that should but in my experience i do well in working alone. I
feel this way for two reeasons, which i will explore in the following paragraphs.

First of all, I can manage my time effectively at any time that i want. My personal experience
is a great example of this as in my exames i always had my own schedule according to that i
used most of my time to work on the projects but in a group we must work when all team
members are together. As a result workig alone give us more flexibility in time management.
For this reason most of the time i prefer to work alone.

Secondly, having control to the whole project is another advantage of working by myself.
Drawing from my own experience working in a team sometimes i didnt know most of the
parts that i was not involved. Moreover working alone gives me this opportunity to use any
resources and informations that i want. Is certainly clear to see why working by myself self
have more effect on my progress.

In conclusion, i always prefer to use all my resources and time to complete my projects in my
own zone.‫تن‬

Integrated deforestation
The article introduces the topic of deforestation More specifically, the writer discusses of
benefits of clearing area by cutting the trees. The lecturer in the listening passage disagrees.
He believes that cutting the trees are short term solution and attacks each of the claims
made in the reading.

In the reading, the author begins by stating that for local economy its more beneficial to
clear the area for farmlands which these large fields will be produce more crops and live
stocks.
The lecturer, however, disagrees. He states that by todays technology we should not just
focus on deforestation there are many other alternative to deforestation.
He goes on to say traditional farming will be more effictive.

The author also claims that deforestation cause development of new residential area which
needs by increasing populations.
Again, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer's argument that this is not long term
solution in economy
The speaker holds that 28% of oxygen produced by rainforest which will more beneficial
than cutting the trees.

To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting views about cutting the tress and
clearing area It's clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on this issue.

Chap 13
Integrated Q

The article introduces the topic of driverless cars. More specifically, the writer discusses the
advantages of self-driving cars in different aspects of life. The lecturer in the listening
passage disagrees. He believes that the ignorance of problems by driverless cars will cause
trouble and attacks each of the claims made in the reading.

In the reading, the author begins by stating that traffic accidents are reduced nowadays
because most of the accidents are caused by human error. These autonomous cars work by
computers so that they don't make any mistakes. The lecturer, however, disagrees. He
states that computer software is designed by humans, and autonomous is prone to error as
well. He goes on to say that an accident by driverless car last month made a doubt on the
safety of these cars.

The author also claims that these cars are good for the environment and because of the
engine work the traffic will be reduced and give free time to the people to focus on other
things instead of driving. Again, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer's argument
that if these cars are available all people young and old without driving licenses will be on
the road and that would increase the traffic. The speaker holds that most people use this
time to drive and listen to music but with these self-driving cars, they will watch videos or
work which they do most of the day.

To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting views about the effects of
self-driving cars and they will have trouble finding common ground on this issue.

Independent q 300 words

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Our current way of life will have a negative impact on future generations.

There is no shortage of opinions on our existing way of life. In my opinion, future generations
will suffer as a result of our existing way of life.
I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following paragraphs…

First of all, the consumption of natural resources that are available today will definitely
cause a massive shortage for the next 50 years. Deforestation is another disaster for the
future; land-free areas will cause more deluges and natural chaos, and animals will face a
shortage of shelter.

My personal experience is a great example of this. Because of the way my neighbors

consume water for their daily work, we faced a lot of problems because of a water scare.

As a result, we must start with ourselves to reduce the consumption of these resources so
we are not faced with this shortage.
For this reason,

Secondly, the pollution of the air and water is another threat to our future. Pollution of the air
by today's technology, for instance, cars, factories, etc., will all have a negative effect on the
health of mothers and their children. In addition, water pollution is another waste of water
that will cause the death of marine animals and not be drinkable after 30 years.
Drawing from my own experience, when using chemical materials for fertilizing the dust,
these will all be absorbed into the land, distributed to the underground water, and cause the
water to become polluted.

Moreover, (​additional detail of your personal example​)...

It's certainly clear to see why (​concluding sentence that connects your personal example

Task 2 writing
Today we’ll be discussing the benefits and drawbacks of working remotely. Working remotely
can increase productivity and offer flexibility, but it can also cause feelings of isolation and
hinder collaboration. What do you think? Is it better to work remotely? Or would you prefer a
traditional office environment? Why?

Nowadays most people agree that working online is more convening the working in an office.
If I were asked, I would say that working remotely is much better than traditional jobs. I
remember when I started my job as a freelancer I didn't need to wake up early and spend
time getting ready and going to the office for 9 hours. I agree with Ana's point about the
easiness of communication And I would like to add that working without shift hours will be
free of tension besides you can do it any time that you want. Working remotely is part of the
job that is more convenient than working in an environment which is why I believe will bring
more productivity and be free of tension.

Improved

Nowadays, there is a growing consensus that working online is more convenient than
working in a traditional office setting. If asked for my opinion, I would strongly argue in favor
of remote work. When I began my career as a freelancer, I experienced firsthand the
benefits of working remotely. I no longer had to wake up early, spend time preparing, and
commute to an office for nine hours a day. I fully agree with Ana's point about the ease of
communication in remote work. Additionally, I would like to highlight that working without
fixed shift hours eliminates unnecessary stress, as you have the freedom to choose when to
work. Remote work offers a level of convenience that surpasses traditional office
environments, ultimately leading to increased productivity and reduced stress.

Example

Remote work has become a hot topic, especially since the spread of the Coronavirus.
Personally speaking, I prefer to work at home. I have worked in offices before, and,
unfortunately, it almost always devolves into an environment where everyone thinks the
same way. I remember when I worked at a school in midtown Manhattan and the entire staff
was afraid of getting fired, so no one dissented from the school president’s opinion, even
though he was a tyrant. However, I have to admit that Sam makes a good point. It is much
harder to form strong bonds with people who do not share the same physical space. I have
tried at my current job from my home office, and Zoom meetups are just not enough to get
close to someone. Still, if I had to choose, I would opt for the freedom of working from home.

even by using this device still most of turtles can not escape from taps and challenges each
of the writer points.

First the article posits, TED devices are designed in a way that helps sea turtles to escape

improved version

The reading passage and the lecture discuss the effectiveness of Turtle Excluder Devices
(TEDs) in the shrimp industry. While the author of the article argues that TEDs successfully
prevent turtles from being caught, the lecture casts doubt on these claims, challenging each
of the author's points.

The article asserts that TEDs are designed to allow sea turtles to escape from nets, and that
the metal guard prevents larger shrimps from passing through. However, the lecture
counters this viewpoint by explaining that many small turtles still cannot escape from the
nets even when TEDs are used. Additionally, the lecture points out that shrimps are able to
bypass the metal guard and escape.
Furthermore, the author mentions that it is mandatory by law for all vessels in the shrimp
industry to have TEDs installed. However, the lecture disputes this argument by suggesting
that there are flaws in the implementation of TEDs, leading to instances where vessel
owners falsify their documents to claim compliance. The speaker believes that many vessel
owners are not genuinely adhering to the regulations.

In conclusion, the reading and the lecture present conflicting views on the effectiveness of
TEDs in the shrimp industry. It is evident that finding common ground on this issue will be
challenging for both parties.

Example

The reading and the lecture are about the pros and cons of the Turtle Excluder Device
(TED). While the author of the article believes that there are many benefits to the use of
TEDs, and that it has decreased the number of sea turtles caught in trawls by shrimpers, the
lecturer casts doubt on the statements in the article. He claims there are still many issues
with TEDs and challenges each of the writer’s points. First, the article posits that the design
of the TED includes a metal barrier inside the net that prevents larger animals from getting
caught. Additionally, it says that the TED also provides a path for sea turtles to exit. The
lecturer, however, disagrees with this viewpoint. He points out that small and mid-sized
turtles still get caught deeper in the trawls. Additionally, he goes on to say this is because the
metal barrier only prevents creatures larger than ten centimeters to pass through it.
Secondly, the author notes that laws have been passed requiring shrimp boats to have a
TED and use it properly. The lecturer believes there are flaws in the writer's argument. The
speaker holds that it is impossible for organizations to regulate the fishermen while they are
fishing for shrimp and that they can just remove the TED right before putting the nets into the
ocean. Furthermore, he argues that they are inclined to do this because sometimes a TED
can also prevent shrimp from passing into the depths of the trawls, which decreases their
profits. Another reason why the writer feels that TEDs are beneficial is that under import
regulations, the shrimp sold in the US can only come from suppliers who are certified TED
users. The professor in the listening passage is doubtful that this is accurate. In contrast, the
lecturer’s stance is that there are many boat owners who claim to be TED-certified, but, in
reality, have fake documentation. The lack of consistency in TED certification from country to
country allows many to deceive ports and sell their shrimp anyway. To sumup, both the
author and the lecturer hold conflicting views about TED.
