...Both letters suggest whether or not electronic voting machines should be used. The author of "Everyone Should Be Able to Vote" says that it would be easier if people used electronic voting machines. But, the author of "Electronic Voting Is a Bad Idea" says that the machine can be hacked and people dont like using electronic voting machines. I personally agree with the auther of "Electonic Voting Is a Bad Idea" because in paragragh 1, sentence 5 it says, "In 2007, it was found that malicious software can transfer EVM votes for one candidate to another without the voter noticing." If the machines can be tampered with than its not a smart decision to vote with the EVM. Another reason i agree with this author is because it says that states need...

...effective because it happens in our every day lives. In this story “Our Own WarriorPrincess”, the bigger picture is knowing that it is okay to be afraid to go and have surgery. But more importantly, it is okay to go out and save a life. Maureen Dowd transitioned this story into donating when she mentioned, “There was a complicated operation for the two side by side, that lasted from 7:30 a to 10 pm”(Dowd 255).This tells you that there were to people side by side getting ready for surgery and a transplant. In this story, the author reinforces her argument by letting you know that it is very hard to come across a transplant and lets you also know what some people are willing to go through to get a transplant. Without these two paragraghs some people wouldn’t know the strengths that some people have. The author also wanted you to know that it is okay to be unsure of...

Cesar talks about a connection the hispanic farm workers share. "All Hispanic--urban and rural,young and old--are connected to the farm workers' experience... We shared that common humiliation." p.25 Chavez's views his surroundings as a embrassment to himslef and others in the community. Cesar Chavez uses a lot of writing devices but one he uses the most is statistics. He uses about 11 statistics in his speech in paragraph 10 he talks about infant mortality then in paragragh 12 he shows the average life span of a farmworker compared than an average person. "Babies born to migrant workers suffer 25 percent higher infant mortality than the rest of the population......Farm workers' average life expectancy is still 49 years--compared to 73 years for the average American.". The perspective Cesar Chavez has on his surroundings is very grim and unpleasant but to other people during that time they were grateful for what they had received and happy.

...Cutting Internal Organizational Expenses without Eliminating Personnel Chris Smith is an upstanding young man. He was brought up in a semi liberal-conservative household with very supportive and nurturing parents. They instilled in him a hard work ethic which encompassed the principle of if you put in the time and effort, study and work hard at your job, any goal is attainable. He went on to receive a civil engineering degree from the largest and most prestigious public institutions in the state while working 2 part time jobs. After graduating from college Chris accepted a job with an engineering firm on the west coast. Shortly after his first year with the firm he married his college sweetheart who works as an accountant. Chris and his wife have both been on their jobs for about five years now, have a traditional home in a quiet suburban area, and just had their first child who will soon turn three. Chris’s young family seemed to be comfortable in their pursuit of the American dream, getting up everyday, getting to work on time, putting in extra hours if needed, smoothly taking care of the everyday responsibilities of a child, home, and their careers until 1 day late in 2008. Chris had just finished his design portion of a commercial project which was set to go to construction in the next several months. He was called into his Department heads office thinking that they would be talking about some detailed specifications involving...

...从2010年12月到2011年2月底,我一共参加了4次雅思考试(12月11日,1月22日,2月12日和2月26日),成绩为: 12月11日:听力:7.0,阅读:6.5,写作:6.0,口语:6.0 01月22日:听力:6.5,阅读:7.0,写作:6.0,口语:7.0 02月12日:听力:7.0,阅读:7.5,写作:6.5,口语:8.5 02月26日:听力:7.0,阅读:7.5,写作:7.5,口语:7.0 03月05日:听力:7.0,阅读:7.5,写作:7.0,口语:8.0 可以说,在过去的三个月里面,我感受过裸考过后无言以对的惶恐,体味过努力过后略有进步的喜悦,忍受着就差0.5、与目标无比接近却未能接近的失落,最后,苦尽甘来。因为这次考试,至少再一次让我确信”天道酬勤“。NO SWEAT, NO SWEET; NO PAIN, NO GAIN。 如果说高考是一条独木桥,那么雅思就是一个无底洞。为了填上这个洞,能用上的方法都用上了,比如说连续报5次雅思考试,下载最新的机经,把慎小嶷《十天》系列书全买了,大包围准备所有的口语和写作topic,上培训班,找老外批改作文,去卧龙岗考试(在国内的话,我会选择贵阳,海口等考点),喝红牛穿红内裤,等等,甚至连吃奶的力都用上了,此处略去一万字。 雅思其实一场持久战,更是一场心理战。在征服雅思的过程中,我们眼前最最最大的敌人不是雅思本身,而是我们自己。无论在复习过程中感到怎样的痛苦,还是在考试过程中经历了什么样的折磨,还是在知道成绩后受到何种的打击,我们都必须自我鼓励,必须乐观向上。 只要站起来的次数比跌倒的多,就是成功 不淡定便蛋疼,淡定的心态是王道 写作分享篇 17个不能回避的雅思写作问题 经过三个月的复习总结和4次的实战,我总结了17个关于雅思写作不能回避的核心问题。这17问题一直贯穿在我整个复习的过程。相信只要弄明白这17个问题,我觉得我们离写作7分就无比接近了。对于那些即将参加3月19日,4月2日,4月16日,5月7日等鸭友团来说,我觉得要搞懂问题1,2,6,7,8,13这6个问题最为迫切。如果能做好的话,分数一定能提高的。 1. 考官是怎么改卷子的?标准是怎样的? 2. 雅思写作7分是什么样的概念? 3. 雅思写作6分与7分或者6.5分与7分的距离有多远? 4. 怎么制定雅思写作复习计划? 5. 考试前需要写多少篇的大作文和小作文? 6. 写作模版管用吗? 7. 雅思写作需要背多少个词汇? 8. 雅思写作需要什么样的句型? 9. 雅思写作需要多复杂的从句和语法? 10. 我们对雅思写作的误区 11. 鸭友们通常会犯哪些语法错误,能有效避免吗?什么样的语法错误是致命的? 12. 雅思写作能速成吗?平时需要多看英文报纸吗? 13. 小作文重要吗?容易写吗?应该怎么复习 14. 怎么安排大作文和小作文的写作顺序和时间 15. 要买参考书吗?什么样的参考书? 16. 参加培训班管用吗? 17. 网络上面所谓的“名师”雅思写作预测有用吗? 推荐书目 在准备雅思的过程当中,或许很多人都会像我曾经那样不惜一切代价地去买所谓的名师参考书,因为我们都会自觉不自觉地自我游说:1450块的考试报名费都交得起了,还介意那几十块钱的参考书费吗。其实,有时候想想,我们买的书越多,证明我们越不自信;而且参考书一多,复习计划就会更乱。所以,到目前为止,我只觉得以下几本书稍微有点价值 1. 慎小嶷《十天突破雅思写作》 ...
