I prefer to buy items on the internet. First, by shopping on the internet, I can save a lot of time. For example, if I want to buy a pair of jeans, I can purchase it on Amazon.

For example, if I buy a pair of jeans in a physical store, it would cost 500 NT dollars. However, if I buy the same pair of jeans online, I might be able to get it for just 400 NT dollars. 

The university is going to raise the fee for using the recreation center. The man in the conversation supports the university’s policy.

In this way, more students may want to go to the recreation center.

The professor uses an example to illustrate the concept of social learning. For example, there are a sister and a brother. One day, the sister wants to buy a toy. Therefore, she starts crying and screaming. In the end, her mom gives in and buys the toy for her. In this way, if the boy also wants to buy a boy, it is more likely that he will cry and scream to beg his mom to buy the toy for him as well. On the other hand, if the mom chooses to discipline the girl, the boy may not act like his sister. This is the example provided by the professor to illustrate the concept of social learning.

The woman in the conversation is in a dilemma. She has a student teaching assignment and a Chinese history class at the same time. Therefore, she has to decide whether she should miss the class or she should do her assignment on a different day. I suggest that she should do her assignment on a different day. In this way, she does not have to worry that she will miss the class which is taught by a famous visiting professor. Also, she is planning to go to China in the future. By taking this class, she could have a better understanding of China. These are the suggestions I would like to give to solve the problem mentioned in the conversation.

The professor uses examples to describe two seabird adaptations. The first adaptation is the wings. Take the albatross as an example. The albatross has long wings to hold still in the air.

In this way, the fulmar can locate the tiny organisms by smelling them. These are the examples provided by the professor to describe two seabird adaptations.
