I think the most influential invention in the last 100years is the television. People spend most of the time watching television. Television is a great portion of our life. People start daily life watching television and then end their life watching television. Television gives us lots of information. That information it will give us political information or scientific information. Through those information, we learn about the world and the world become smaller. For that reason I think the most influential invention in the last 100years is the television

I prefer to read the newspaper rather than to watch television. The reason is the newspaper only gives right information. Sometimes television gives us wrong information and confuses people, but the newspaper doesn't. Also the newspaper gives us some skills. We can learn skills like logic skills or reading skills through the newspaper. But while we watching television, we can learn none of the skills. For these reasons, I prefer to read the newspaper rather than to watch television.

The reading says that sampling error is the error in the survey or scientific study~(I couldn't listen). The reading talks about two examples of the sampling error. First one is the average fish size in the lake. First the researcher caught some fish but the net was too big to get small ones. So the data the researcher got about the average fish size is not accurate. The second one is about the political research. The research was done afternoon. So the research was mostly done by the housingwives. So it was done by particular people. So the data from the research is not accurate.

For me, the subject I want to learn more about is history. One reason is that it is important to learn about the past. For example, I enjoy reading the news in the paper and on the internet. However, many news articles commonly refer to incidents that happened back in the past. Unless i know more about history, I cannot fully understand the importance of references the articles are making. Another reason is I feel it is important to know history so that we won't repeat the mistakes of the past. People often talk about histroy repeating itself. However, if we know what mistakes people made in similar situations in the past, we might be able to avoid the same problems.

The woman's problem is that she needs to pick her friend up from the airport, but her car has a flat tire. I strongly believe that woman should take a taxi both to and from the airport. By doing this, she will make it to the airport on time to pick up her friend. That way she won't have to inconvenience her roommate by asking her for a favor. In addition, even though the woman mentions that she doesn't have enough money, she should be able to borrow the money she needs to pay for her taxi fare. The reason is that the woman talks about her payday coming in a couple of days. Obviously, she has a job, so she should be able to promise whoever lends her money that she will repay that person once she herself gets paid
