Parents may get disappointed when you fail to meet their expectations. They may strongly object to your lifestyle and complain that you are wasting time on unimportant things. To solve this problem, you may try to make them understand that you are a responsible person. First tell them that you have inherited many of their merits. Then remind them that you have your own thoughts and life goals as an individual. You can also explain how your lifestyle will help you in a positive way. You may not be able to change your parents’ opinion overnight, but if you keep trying, it well eventually work.

1. To me a good parent is quite challenging and demanding. A good parent should:
. attend to children’s physical and spiritual needs; . be supportive in times of difficulties; . share life experiences without preaching;
. share hobbies and doing sports with their children; and . respect their children’s privacy.
2. My parents took god care of my sister and me. They regarded it their duty to make sure that we
had good food, decent clothes, and a nice place to live in. but they also required us to do whatever they told us to do. And we were supposed to keep no secrets from them. If I supposed to keep no secrets from them. If I were a parent, I would try my best to supply the best for my child(ren)’s daily needs, just as what my parents did to me. But I would also do something different: I would respect my child(ren)’s privacy; I would not give orders. Instead, I would try to become their friends and encourage them to do what they like.
3. Yes, after reading the two stories in this unit, I have come to a better understanding of my parents’
love for me. Though my father and other show their love in different ways, everything they do for me is meant to do me good, even when they are being tough with me. Most times I tend to take their love for granted. I rarely spend time thinking about their love for me, let alone expressing thanks for their love. A better understanding of my parents’ love will prompt me to think about that I can do to them, and how I can repay them for their selfless love.
4. Conflicts between parents and children may be sometimes inevitable. However, there are
something we can do to reconcile and solve the disagreement: . calm down – anger only makes things worse; . analyze the reason for the conflicts;
. try to be in our parents’ shoes and see thinks from their angle; . explain what is on our mind and try to have their support; and . make compromises whenever we can.
5. Nowadays many young people are too busy to spend time with their parents. This has been a
social problem of public concern. It is true that young people today are facing great pressure from work. They have so many things to do that they often have to work extra hours. But this is no excuse for neglecting their parents. Busy as they are they should try to set aside time to be with their parents, especially on the weekend. The aging parents may feel deserted and lonely, being left at the “empty nest”. In fact, this social problem has prompted the government to take action and make it part of the law that children should regularly visit their parents and attend to their parents’ needs. So as young people, we should realize the problem and try to send as much time as possible with our parents.

. Advantages: more vivid teaching materials;
. disadvantages: too many distractions with too many pictures and videos in multimedia classrooms.
Studying online:
. advantages: being able to choose when and what you want to learn; easy access to the wide range of online information.
. disadvantages: making it easier for students to copy answers from the Internet; lack of face-to-face communication between the teacher and students; the possibility for students to develop Internet addiction.
2. . I prefer the multimedia way of learning. A multimedia classroom is vivid with teaching materials presented in different ways: slides, pictures, and even movies. Compared with a traditional classroom, a multimedia classroom is more interesting.
. To be frank, I prefer to study online. In this way I can manage my own time. I can have my own priorities and do things at my own pace. It is simply what I want.
3. . Yes. The Internet is indispensable in teaching and learning nowadays. It is hard to imagine what it would be like without the Internet. We would have no easy or quick way to learn about the latest development of teaching and learning. We would miss the many interesting online courses; we couldn’t communicate effectively with teachers after class. We just can’t afford to lose the Internet. . No. teaching and learning had been carried out long before the Internet came into being. And

people did just as well without the Internet or the computer. It is true that the Internet makes teaching and learning more convenient and more efficient, but it is by no means indispensable. I’m sure we can still teach or learn without the Internet.

1. A fleet of laptops, smartphones and Internet connectivity 24 hours a day. 2. wireless Internet access anywhere and anytime on campus.
3. because smartphones could draw students’ attention and encourage sophisticated thinking.
4. because too much time online can mean too little time I real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. If we spend too much time online, we will be cut off from the real world.
5. they used the money to wire dorms with high-speed connections and equip their campuses with Wi-Fi networks.
6. Because the university was afraid that it’s technology was not as advanced as that of other universities, it gave away free Apple iPads to compensate for its inferiority in this aspect. 7.

8. it is mainly because they want to provide students with the most advanced free system.
Critical thinking 2
1 .Yes, I think so. Internet access is a must on campus. We students need the Internet to do research for our study, to obtain information to broaden our knowledge of the world, to communicate with family and friends, and to enrich our lives in our spare time.
. No, I don’t think so. There are many potential disadvantages if Internet access is so easily accessible on campus. Some students may waste too much time I playing online games or chatting online, be tempted to visit “unhealthy” websites, or even become Internet-addicted and neglect their study.
2 .It sounds like an awful idea to me. Obtaining knowledge is only part of learning. Learning not only gives us a wealth of knowledge, it also provides us with great vision, strong principles, social abilities, good manners, interpersonal skills and many more valuable attributes. This obviously cannot be realized by learning at home only with the computer.
.I think it is a good idea that students can study at home via the Internet in the future. Learning would become more flexible and accessible. This way, college education could become available to many more people, old or young, near or far, healthy or handicapped.
3 . The Internet and smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily life because they don’t cost much and they make communication much more convenient. We can talk to people, or leave them messages almost anywhere and anytime. And very often we will get responses in no time. . With the Internet and smartphones becoming more and more popular, we are forgetting how to write with a pen or how to talk with people face to face. The more we use the Internet and smartphones, the less we meet our friends in real life. Even when friends meet face to face, instead of talking with each other, they all look at their smartphones, checking email or posting something on
