Electronic Mail
1. E-mail (electronic mail) uses computers for communication. It has several impor-
tant advantages over phones and regular mail. The main advantage of e-mail is that it
takes very little time to send and receive messages. From your computer, you can
contact someone far away (or in the next office). Seconds later, they have your message.
If they are at their computer, you can get a response instantly, too. Another reason
people like to use e-mail is that for just a few cents you can send a message to someone
in another part of the world. You don't have to worry about the time difference or slow
mail delivery. Your message is sent immediately, and your friends or colleagues can
send a response at their convenience. Lastly, e-mail allows you to send a single message
First, it is a popular way to send messages among people who do not like to use the
telephone. Second, it is useful for sending suggestions or requests. The person who
receives them has time to think about their response. Also, e-mail messages always
look the same, no matter who sends them. This means you don't have to worry about
the quality of your letter paper. Furthermore, e-mail messages are uniform. They give
no clues to the sender's age, gender, race, or physical condition. In addition, they do
3. One advertising executive explained why he preferred not to use e-mail. He gave a variety of
reasons for why it was not useful for his business. The main reason was that he had no time to learn
to use the system. Aside from that fact, he disliked e-mail because he felt that it was too impersonal.
In addition, he said it was too fast and easy. He preferred a means of communication that
encouraged a more careful and thoughtful style of work. He felt, too, that you lose a lot of
information with e-mail. Since, you do not hear the sender's voice, you can tell nothing about them
as a person.
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States, served his country
for most of his life. He was the only president to be elected four times. He was born in Hyde
Park, New York, on January 30. 1882, and he began his studies at Harvard in 1903. In 1905,
he married Eleanor Roosevelt, a distant cousin, and they had six children. After serving in the
New York State Senate, Roosevelt worked in Washington as Secretary of the Navy until
1921. At that time, he became very ill with polio and lost the use of his legs. In 1928,
Roosevelt ran for governor of New York. After serving two terms as governor, he was elected
to the presidency in 1933. Roosevelt died in office on April 12, 1945.
2. Making orange juice concentrate from fresh oranges is done entirely by machines. First,
oranges are dumped onto a moving belt. They travel into a machine which washes them
with detergent. Next they are rolled into juicing machines, where seven hundred oranges
per minute are split and squeezed. Then the rinds (the skin of the oranges) are thrown out
the end of a long tube. At the same time, the juice goes through small holes in the bottom of
the tube. Next, the juice goes into another machine called the finisher. There, the seeds and
other tiny objects are removed. Last, the juice goes into large tanks, where most of the
water is removed.
Main idea : The difference of Old Vending Machines and New Vending Machines
2. The so-called "portable" computers of just a few years ago were heavy machines. They
weighed about 15 pounds and were really designed to stay in one place. The idea of
traveling with an old "portable" was out of the question. It would not even fit under an
airline seat. Present-day laptop computers, however, are totally different. These "portables"
are really meant to be carried around. They are sometimes even called "notebooks." Unlike
the heavy monsters of the past, the laptop computers weigh only about five pounds. They
can fit easily into a briefcase. In spite of their size, though, they have much more memory
capacity than the older computers. Surprisingly, the laptops also have larger screens than
the older models.
Main Idea : The Difference and similiarity between electric vehicle and gasoline vehicle

1. Doctors have noticed an increase in the number of children who are treated for ear
infections. This could mean that more children get infections than in the past. Such an
increase could be caused, in part, by an increased use of day care. In daycare centers, little
children can catch infections from each other.
Main idea : Ear infection on children
Cause : Children who still in day care center
Effect : infection from each other
2. A young child's untreated ear infection can lead to serious consequences. The infection can
spread to the throat and cause a general illness. It can also do permanent damage to a
child's hearing ability. Perhaps the least-known consequence of untreated ear infection
involves language development. Language learning depends on good hearing. Children with
frequent or untreated ear infections cannot hear well. The result is a delay in their ability to
speak and use language effectively.
Main idea : Consequences of ear infection
Cause : Children with frequent or untreated ear infections cant hear well
Effect : Delay in their ability to speak and use languange effectively
3. The greater numbers of reported ear infections could result from social and economic
factors. Parents may be more aware of the importance of treating the condition. Doctors
may have more time for such simple ailments, now that more dangerous diseases are
controlled by immunization. And there may be economic causes. Some doctors who are paid
for each visit might have an economic interest in paying attention to ear infections.
Economic factors may influence parents as well, since some health centers charge very little
for visits. Thus parents are encouraged to bring in their children more often for lesser
problems, such as ear infections.
Main Idea : The greater numbers of reported ear infections
Cause : Social economic condition from parents
Effect : Different treatment of Doctors
