Thesis总论点 |
可以带来很多潜在好处 |
不能带来阅读中所说的好处 |
|
Sub-point 1 |
帮助员工戒烟和减肥 |
奖励机制带来的好处不长远。大多数人戒烟后又会重新开始，减肥后会反弹。 |
|
Sub-point2 |
给员工带来更多假期 |
这种奖励措施不公平unfair。一些人天生肥胖超重naturally overweight，如果这些人刻意减肥会损害健康，这是基因决定的genetics ，我们不能强迫每个人减肥。而且，对不健康生活方式的员工少假期也是不科学的，因为他们和其他人一样有家庭需要照顾。 |
|
Sub-point3 |
对公司好make more profits。健康生活方式的员工工作更加有效率。公司可以盈利更多并且会减少健康有关的花费 |
这个好处忽视了现代商业的现实ignore the reality of modern business。在美国，平均每个人跳槽机率很大，许多人隔几年就会跳槽。这就意味着公司无法从健康的劳动力中获得更多利益，公司要不断的培训新员工。同样对于员工来说，他们的健康方式带来的好处也是短暂的their health gains may turn out to be temporary 。所以奖励措施听上去很好，但实际上未必合适。 |

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: classmates and partner can communicate with each other face to face to finish the project more better than by sending e-mail.
The advancement of technology has introduced countless forms of communication. Cell phones, text messaging and programs like Twitter make it easy to talk with anybody, anywhere. Although technology has made communicating very easy, these forms sometimes are too detached and can lead to many misunderstandings. I still think the best way to have a conversation with someone is face to face.
Instant messaging or text messaging are convenient forms of communication, but it is hard to discuss difficult topics over text or instant message. The style of language is so abbreviated that it is hard to tell a person’s tone or mood. For example, I was once chatting with my mother and I responded “OK” when she asked me a very serious question. I thought my response was fine, but the next day my mother called me very upset. She thought I was angry with her and had been worrying all day about how to talk to me. If we had been talking on the phone, she would have been able to hear that I was not angry.
E-mail is also another form of communication that is useful, but can be troublesome if you are discussing a difficult topic. Sometimes when people are angry, they write a quick and nasty e-mail. This has gotten a lot of people in trouble with their teachers or bosses. One time, my classmate was really upset about a grade she received on a test. She was so upset about it that she sent a very rude e-mail to the teacher. After about an hour, she calmed down and realized she had made a mistake. If she had called or gone to talk to the teacher about the test, she probably would not have used such angry language. Unfortunately, it is too easy to send an e-mail without thinking. The teacher was not pleased with her e-mail, and gave her a week’s detention.
Talking with somebody on the phone, or face to face, is the best way to solve a problem. When you are speaking with somebody, you can hear the mood in his voice, or see the expression on his face. Using these verbal and physical cues, you can understand his meaning more clearly. Conversations such as politics and relationships are most successful if done over the phone or face to face. This is why people do not propose marriage through e-mail and politicians do not write laws using text messaging. Using the phone also keeps you from getting into trouble by miscommunication or misunderstanding.
