disagreement mentioned in the article have problems communicating, but my family uses their leisure time more wisely. support: We play games, talk – often about television programs we have watched together – go camping and hiking as a family, and enjoy example, each other’s company. We watch TV frequently, but only personal programs we really want to see. Probably my brother’s and my experience TV habits were formed by my mother, who controlled our TV watching when we were too young to know what was good or bad. For the American family used in the article, I think their TV viewing time should be organizes more wisely so the parents are able to spend more time with their children. Body Paragraph #3 summary The author makes a powerful point about family togetherness when she mentions the effect TV viewing has on simple family routine: direct “Life-styles revolved around a regular schedule of eating, sleeping, quotation and watching TV.” Practically, as well as traditionally, more dinner is the single time when the family can finally come together. summary The opportunity is there for discussion, exchanging ideas, solving problems, and expressing concern and love. topic Sadly, however, TV has taken priority sentence Even in my family, although we are all required to sit at dinner table together, there are times when the colorful screen holds (agreement) more interest than how our dog ate the room deodorizer or how Dad support: was run off the road on his moped. The points is that no matter how detail, animated or boring the table discussion is, it should be a time personal cherished and not discarded for any TV program. experience *** Conclusion #1 summary In summary, the philosophy stated in Harriet Fidler’s “The Dangers of Television” and my personal benefits about television viewing are almost alike. The senseless watching of countless hours response of TV has left many families void of love and companionship. And, to top it off, we’re perfecting the garbage to feed future generations. Conclusion #2 Overall Most people take television for granted and accept it as a necessary personal part of their everyday routine. Television has been used for so many response years as a source of entertainment in America that most people wouldn’t know what to do without it. Television, along with many other factors in our modern lives, is truly weakening family ties. prediction If Harriet Fidler’s predictions are true, there will probably be a day when a family that does anything besides watch TV will be looked upon as strange and old-fashioned. 3.Реферат отличает логичность изложения.

As working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receiving paychecks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her services? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, sociologists found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $ 11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $ 11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife’s household chores. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to federal guidelines for minimum wages Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes, with their employers (that is, their husbands) contributing part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, “If you work as a clerk in a store you can qualify for Social Security, but if you stay at home and raise a family, nobody will give you credit for it.” 6. Read the two short articles below. Then summarize each article in approximately one hundred words. Transferring Western Technology to Developing Nations During the 1980s, unemployment and underemployment in some countries has been as high as 90%. Some countries do not produce enough food; basic needs in housing and clothing are unmet. Many of these countries look to the industrial processes of the developed nations for solutions to these problems. But the problems are not always solved this way. The industry of the developed nations is highly automated and very expensive. It provides fewer jobs than non-automated industrial processes, and highly skilled workers are needed to maintain and repair the equipment. These workers must be trained, but many nations do not have the necessary training institutions. Thus, the cost of importing industry becomes higher. Students must be sent abroad to receive vocational and professional training. Often, just to begin training, the students must first learn English, French, German, or Japanese. The students then spend many years abroad and some do not return home. All nations agree that science and technology should be shared. However, countries adopting the industrial processes of the developed nations need to look carefully at the costs. Many of these costs are hidden. Students from these nations should study the problems of the industrializes countries closely. With care, they will take home not the problems of science and technology, but the benefits. __________________________________________________________________ Foreign Students and the U.S. Student Shortage In recent years, college and university administrators have faced a new challenge: a shortage of traditional, eighteen- to twenty-two-year-old full-time students. Trying to solve the problem, the 3,200 postsecondary institutions in the U.S. are offsetting the declining enrollment of traditional students by increasing the number of “nontraditional” students (those aged twenty-five and over). Fortunately, while the American supply of full-time students is slipping, the worldwide supply is ever increasing. Bringing in more foreign students could help avert serious damage in U.S. postsecondary education while helping to educate young people of the developing world. Right now there are a record 342,000 foreign students in the United States, but they constitute only 3 percent of the total U.S. student population of 12 million. Increasing that number would accomplish a number of desirable goals simultaneously: increasing the number of full-time students on U.S. campuses, internationalizing what has become a much too parochial American education system, and developing the potential of poor countries by educating and training their best and brightest students. It would also make friends for America throughout the world. Finally, and perhaps most important, it builds the foundation of a more peaceful world through improved mutual understanding across borders. Recruiting more international students, especially from developing countries, offers the U.S. an opportunity to address long-term problems at American campuses while spreading the bounty of higher education throughout a world thirsting for knowledge. That, after all, is the kind of positive force in world affairs that America can and should aspire to be. 7. Find a research paper and write a summary of it.
