Task 3

1. 【学校通知】大学计划在晚间增开当代文学课modern literature，好处1：modern literature 越来越popular 了，把小教室换成大教室，让更多同学有机会上课(be enrolled).好处2：在晚间上课，能让更多的人来听。【学生态度】男生反对。理由1：小教室更方便group discussion，大教室上课，学生太多，距离远了不方便讨论，参加group discussion 的机会就少了，学生就学不到很多东西。理由2：晚上上课不现实，在晚上学生都有自己的事情（jobs to do）和社交活动（social activities），肯定没时间来上晚上的课。

2. 【个人倡议】：一个学生给校报写倡议书，说学校应在期末考试复习期间cancel 掉在宿舍（dormitory）旁办的 the comedy show.理由1、comedy show will bring too much noise, disturb students preparing for final exam.the 理由2、因为大部分字生都会来看这个comedy show，所以学校的shuttle bus service will be suspended on that night. This is inconvenient.

【学生态度】 女生反对。：理由1：如果嫌寝室太吵，students can go to other classroom like library to study, which

is pretty quiet,是perfect place;理由2, the campus is quite small, it takes only half an hour to walk from one side to another side,校车根本就不是必要的,besides, the comedy show only takes a couple of hours; it s no big deal.

3. 【学校通知】学校要建一个 student lounge，：以帮助坐公交往返的同学(commuter students)。很多学生commute

from home to campus by bus or by train。这些学生没有时间go home between classes. 有了student lounge 好处

（1） 学生在课间可以休息下，还有LOCKER 可以放书，不用把书搬来搬去。（2）顺便还可以张贴一些重要信息，比如train schedule。

【学生态度】a. 没必要，大家就得deal with this problem。宿舍也很远，住宿舍的人也会有这种问题，可人家也都每天拿书跑来跑去的。如果给 commuter students 建student lounge，那不就不公平了。（Why should they get special treatment? 原话）。再说了，library 里也有locker 的，真的需要可以到那里去放书。b. 有其他方法查询这些信息，比如到网站上去查，或者直接打电话给train station。

4. 【个人倡议】：一个学生写倡议书提议学校应该邀请一个学生组织的jazz band 每天在afternoon 在学校的草坪上 on the open lawn 在举行免费concert，给下午课间休息的同学提供relaxation。

【学生态度】：女生反对此提议。理由1、（weixin:laoxikou）她认为afternoon is not the best time，应改到晚上举行，因为大家白天都有课或读书，开音乐会产生的 noise will disturb others。evening 听音乐会感觉will feel relaxed.理由2、她认为音乐会应该在indoor will be better,因为在lawn 上开音乐会，太多人上lawn 上走，花花草草grass 会被踩死，最后草坪就变成全是泥mud 了。

1. 【讲课要点】猴子 monkeys 常年栖息在树上，需获取水源来生存.获取水源有两祌方法：来源1、食物： 食物里含有很多水分，absorb moisture from foods,所以他们无需再另外喝水.举例：hobe(一种猴子的名字，此拼写为回忆，屏幕上会出现) monkeys 以吃树叶为生，他们爱吃很嫩的树叶(tender leaves)，嫩叶新鲜多汁，所以它们可以获取足够水分，不喝水也没有问题。来源 2、雨水：雨后，找到存留在树叶上的水洼，以补充水分，举例：spider monkeys 生活的地方有一种特殊plant，叶子呈杯子cup-shaped leaves，雨后，这种叶子上会有很多积水，猴子可以用这种叶子作容器接水喝。

2【讲课要点】：不能move free 的海底动物sea bottom dwellers(dwellers 的本意为居住者)捕食的方法有两种：第一种、active method：主要是靠像爪子一样的毒须去抓食物。举例：海葵sea anemone：虽然自己不能动，它身上有tentacle(触手)却是可以动的，这样fish 来了以后它可以sting on the object 给食物注射毒液，并使动物paralyzed，捉住fish。第二种、passive method，举例：牡蛎oyster，虽然呆在shell 里不动。坐等sea waves 把tiny particles 冲到opening shell 里，坐享其成。

3.【讲课要点】：大多数昆虫parent insect lay eggs 后不久就离开了，baby 们就会很helpless。给孵出的幼虫提供充足食物supply food to feed young,有两种方法：方法1、parents lay eggs 之前，先给the young gather and store enough food 在nest 里，然后再飞走。这样，等幼虫孵出后就可以直接在巢里吃了。举例：potter wasp 陶工黄蜂，它们们建完巢以后，就会去找各种食物放在巢里，再下蛋。方法2、昆虫可以把巢驻在里很近的食物来源supply 充足的location，然后在那里生egg。举例：butterfly 蝴蝶，花很多时间四处找evaluate 靠近食物的地方，然后一边筑巢产卵。幼虫孵出后就可以很容易地得到食物。

4.【讲课要点】关于Animals communication 的，讲animal 在hatch 之前用两种方法交流。:方法1：当有很多eggs 的时候，it is very important that 这些eggs 在同一个时间被hatch 出来，而不会出现hatch 晚的baby 被妈妈遗弃了。比如ducks，一个duck 要hatch 了，就会发出clicking noise，其他的ducks 也会发出同样声音，告诉妈妈我们都要出来了，别把我们忘了的意思。方法2：让妈妈帮助自己成功地破壳出来。比如crocodile，他的 eggs 是埋在mud 里的，baby crocodile 要破壳出来的时候，就会scratch the inside of the shell 告诉妈妈，然后鳄鱼妈妈就会把mud remove 掉，否则baby crocodile 出不来。
