解题思路：

解析：

Community work

1. much easier to access

2. an impressive and positive experience for employment

参考答案

If I had a chance to do some volunteer work in my life, I would prefer to choose to work for community as the following reasons.

Firstly, it’s much easier to access the opportunity for working in my own community. I could contact directly with the property management department of my community to figure out whether here’s a vacancy for me. While the thing will totally be different when I go to another place.

Also, doing volunteer work in community is an impressive and positive experience for employment in future. I am able to become more competitive when I’m hunting for a job. The employer also would like to accept people like me.

Task 2

Title:

some one prefer the traditional way of working, like going to the office setting, others prefer to work at home? which one do you prefer?

解题思路：

参考答案

As to me, I would like to choose a traditional way, going to the office setting and working.

First reason is that working in the traditional office setting is more efficient. Working in an office allows people to cooperate and compete. When we need group working or discussion or some help from colleges, a traditional working environment will be definitely helpful and efficient. While you are doing your own tasks at home would be totally different situation.

Another reason is that, working at home will be easily distracted. For example, you might be getting a walk or having some refreshments when you feel you are tired but actually you are not.

S2：  把其中的一个required course 挪到夏天暑假上，但是女生说自己summer时间挺满的， 如果那时候上课就会有less work hours了。

Task 6

Title

两种majority influences

回答思路：

1. informational influences 一般是在为了获取正确信息的时候发生，比如你开车带一群人去town，你自己感觉应该左拐，但是其他人都说要go straight，一般情况下，自己也就会听其他人的看法，go straight了。

2， normative influence 一般是为了gain accepted，比如你和一堆你想和他们become friends人一起看电影，他们都说电影很great，虽然你觉得是awful的，但是你不会那么说，因为一旦你那样说，就会觉得自己不是one part of the  group了。
