In this argument, the author concludes that long experience will make Olympic Foods minimize costs and maximize profits. To support his conclusion, the author points out that Olympic Foods has been operated for 25 years. In addition, the author reasons that the costs of processing can decrease. Furthermore, he also assumes that food industry and color-film industry have the same principle. At first glance, the author’s argument appears to be somewhat appealing, while a close examination will reveal how groundless it is. We don’t have to look very far to see the invalidity of this argument. This argument is problematic for the following reasons.

In the first place, this argument rests on a casual oversimplification that as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient; the costs of processing can go down. This assumption is questionable because the author provides no evidence to support this argument. The author fails to take into account other facts that contribute to the cost decline. It is likely that material necessary fir the process decrease the price instead of organizations become more efficient lead to low price. Therefore, this argument is unwarranted without ruling out such possibility.

In the second place, the argument has also committed a false analogy fallacy; the argument rests on the assumption that the facts down from the color-film processing industry are applicable to the food processing industry. For example, problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation all affect the food industry but are virtually absent in the film-processing industry. So, differences between food-processing industry and color-film processing industry clearly outweigh the similarities, thus making the analogy highly less than valid.

In the third place, the author’s forecast of minimal costs and maximum profits rests on the gratuitous assumption that Olympic Foods “long experience” has taught it how to do things better. There is, however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Just as likely, Olympic Foods has learned nothing from its 25 years in the food-processing business. Lacking this assumption, the expectation of increased efficiency is entirely unfounded.

To sum up, the conclusion lacks credibility because the evidence cited in the analysis doesn’t lend strong support to what the author claims. To make the argument more convincing about minimal costs and maximum profits in future, the arguer would have to provide more information that the company has learned how to do things better as a result of its 25 years of experience. Supporting examples drawn from industries more similar to the food-processing industry would further substantiate the author’s view.

Get up early is so important that everyone should do this.It is not only healthy for people's bodies but also good for making right decisions.
In my opinion, getting up early in the morning and starting the day's work is better than get up late and work until late at night. There are three reasons:your body can become more healthy,you can have more time to do more things, and you can finish your work more quickly.

First, if you get up early, you can eat breakfast,then you will have more energy,finally you will become healthy. People ususally have a lot of work and pressure, so how to keep a regular living is very difficult.So,I think as long as you can sleep early,then you can get up early too.Although it is too hard to do it,health is the most important thing in the world. Therefore, get up early can make you healthy and have a great body.

Second,the earlier you get up,the more time you have. Because you will have a whole day to do your works. Morning is the wonderful moment,everyone must use this time efficiently.I think the brain in the morning is very clear,so it can help you to innovate something more creative.Thus,people will often create amazing works in the morning.

Furthermore,due to above these two reasons,you can also do your works faster than before. Because if you get up late,you will feel tired and lazy,then you wouldn't want to do anything.It is possible that you will put up with your works easily.So,getting up early is more efficient and effective than getting up late.

In conclusion,it is easy to say than do,so people have to do it in deed.
To realize and complete your works,you must to sacrifice something to get your goals. It is a challenge for everyone to do,but it deserves.

Working is one of important parts in people's lives.Everyone can choose their own ways to do their works.Some people like to set up own business,others like to work for company.In my opinion,working by self is better than working in companies.There are some reasons to support my opinion.

First,owning a business is a challenging task,you can plan your schedules and control everything.Although it is difficult in the begining,it can get a lot of experiences from opening a company.I think it is a wonderful experience that you can make things by your own from none to finishing.

Second,you can train yourself and create more and more innovations.If you establish a company in one day,you could put all of your ideas and imaginations into company.I think everyone want their dreams to come true,so they will work hard to realize their achievements.

Moreover,people want to make money by their own,so they will try to open up their own business.Maybe they will worry about the umployment when they work for an employer.Therefore,they want to take the responsibility for themselves to set up their own companies,then they can not only enjoy being a boss but also make money by their own.

Internet is full of people’s lives everyday, such as writing e-mail, buying goods, and communicating with friends. I think people can’t live without the Internet. Although the Internet can make us more convenient, it still has some disadvantages when people use it.

The reading passage talks about the advantages in using Internet. For example, students and researchers can get a lot of information from the Internet in order to help them finish their works. In addition, people can develop their own business, providing services using their skills on-line. Due to these pluses, people can’t imagine what life was like before the Internet.

On the contrary, the listening passage mentions about the disadvantages of the Internet. First, the identity safe, the hookers will invade your account then steal your things, thus you will lose your credit. Second, there are more and more crime happened in the Internet, because there is no real law to prohibit them to do these, so we can’t find the suspects easily.

Finally, people depend on the Internet so much, but we should be careful when we use the Internet or we will break the rules. Therefore, Internet is not only useful but also convenient for everyone, and we must have to know how to use it correctly.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
You can learn more from a wise parent than a good teacher.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your essay.

One person will influence the other guy in their growing lives, especially their parents and teachers. Because they will take care of you and teach you a lot of things, then you will follow their steps or obey their rules. So, I think both parents and teachers are important to people to be adults. But in my opinion, a wise parent is more effective for people can learn from.

There are two reasons that support my opinions. First of all, parents are the first people who we contact with and also have a deep relationship. My parents always tell me something what should I do or not when I was a child, then they tell me how to judge the issues that are correct or not. Thus, I will follow my parent’s suggestions and it will affect the decisions when I make. Second, parents have the responsibilities to take care of their children, so their behaviors will influence kids deeply. Children like to use their parents to be their models; therefore if parents have bad effects on their kids, they would also act like their parents in future.

Although a good teacher is also crucial for people that they can learn from, a wise parent will have more influences than a good teacher. Teachers do neither know everything from their students nor have a close connection with them. Moreover, I think parents have more time to understand what they are thinking, talk to them and teach them the life lessons.

In a conclusion, it doesn’t matter that what people you learn from, the main point is what you learned from them and realize them. No matter a wise parent or a good teacher, they must have some impacts on people’s whole lives. We should accept their advices and respect them, and then we can learn more from both of them.
