问答题A Complaint Letter According to school policy, first year students are not allowed to park their cars on campus. Recently, many students find this policy unreasonable for two reasons. First, college freshmen need to use automobiles to find part-time jobs, and it will waste a lot of time to walk to the workplaces. Also, freshmen would easily feel homesick from time to time, and they really need to drive home to visit their parents at weekends. It is inconvenient for those whose homes are miles away to take buses to reach their destination. Question: The woman expresses her opinion towards the complaint letter. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

问答题 THE CHASE FILM The chase film was a popular form of comedy during the silent film era of the early twentieth century. In a chase film, the story was simple to tell and simple for the audience to follow. All that filmmakers needed to do was to establish some offense--a theft, an insult, or a boy's naughty behavior--and then start a humorous chase after the offender. The chase could be extended for several minutes, through any number of scenes and situations. The fast movement of the chase provided visual excitement, often with the person being chased and the chasers all running forward, past the camera. Now cover the passage and listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin preparing your response. Define the chase film, and explain how the examples given in the lecture illustrate the definition.

问答题Some people learn by reading about things. Others learn by doing things. Which of these methods of learning is better for you? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Although some people learn better by reading about things, I learn better by doing things. There are several important skills that I learned through action. I learned how to ride a bicycle and drive a car by experience. I rode a bicycle when I was six years old. Because I could not read about it, I had to get on the bicycle and use my feet and hands. I could also learn from my mistake when I fell off my bicycle. Similarly, I learned to drive a car by doing it. Although I had to study a driving manual and take a test on a computer, I could not learn driving well until I practiced driving in a car. Learning mathematics is another example of learning by doing things. When I was in sixth grade, my teacher made the students measure our classroom. We measured the length and width of the room. Therefore, we learned how to calculate the area of our classroom or any other room. This experience made mathematics become real for me. Finally, I learned how to use a computer by doing it. I tried to read the computer manual, but this was difficult for me because the book was very complex. I learned more when I sat at the keyboard and tried using several keys. Of course, my teacher explained some things about the computer. However, I could learn best when I experienced it. It is true that I have to learn some things by reading, such as history and literature. Reading gives me important knowledge. However, for most skills that I need for my life, such as driving a car and using a computer, I must experience using them in order to learn the skills well. Therefore, I prefer to learn through action. Now answer the following questions. Discuss your answers with your teacher and classmates. 1. What does the question ask you to do? 2. What does the writer do in the introduction? 3. What is the thesis or main idea of the essay? 4. How is the essay organized? 5. What is the topic sentence of each body paragraph? 6.
