Task 2 Find a single adverb to replace the phrase in italics and then place the adverb in mid-position. 1. The provisions of the law must be applied CAREFULLY . 2. Part II of this paper describes the laws of the U.S. tab pertain to agricultural biotechnology BRIEFLY 3. Myopia, which is referred to as shortsightedness MOSTLY , is a common cause of visual disability throughout the world. 4. This study revealed that American and Japanese thresholds for sweetness and saltiness did not differ MUCH. 5. REGULARLY , pulsed semiconductor lasers do not use the broad gain bandwidth to full advantage in the generation of sub picosecond pulses. 6. Environmental managers are faced with having to determine the extent of environmental contamination and identifying habitats at risk REGULARLY. 7. The water supply lines must be inspected to prevent blockages FREQUENTLY . 8. Although many elaborations of this model have been developed over the years, SPECIFICALLY all of them have followed the traditional specification in presupposing that an individual will choose to make a tax report. Task 5 1. How would you describe the information given in the first two sentences? Would you say it is common knowledge, knowledge familiar to most journal readers, or expert knowledge? What does the inclusion of this information perhaps reveal about the authors' assumptions regarding potential readers? I would describe the first two sentences explaining what a fog is. We only have conceptions of wet fog is due to sing it while one is driving. I believe it is knowledge familiar to most journal readers. I’ll believe this reveals that the author wants our readers to have a clear conception of what fog truly is and how its formed. 2. What similarities and/or differences in terms of content do you see between this text in Task Four and this text? Why do you suppose these differences exist? Both texts discussed fogs. The text in task 4 also talked about clouds. The text in task four discussed the problem scientist had and the solutions. While task 5 text discussed more on the

collection of fog, droplets, and the wind perimeters. I believe the differences exist to give readers knowledge onto different synopsis. 3. At the end of the excerpt from the article, the authors describe how the water reaches the users. What verb tense did they use? How does this compare to the process description in Task Four? 4. Think about the word fog. Does this word typically count or non- count? The excerpt uses a plural form. Fogs produced by the advection of clouds over higher terrain tend to have higher liquid contents than do fogs produced at the land or sea surface and it is these high elevation fogs that are of primary interest to produce water in arid lands. What do you think about the use of fogs? Why did the authors use it? 5. One way to expand your academic vocabulary is to identify expressions rbat you rbink would contribute to your own writ- ing. These are usually chunks oflanguage (2 to 4 words) rbat do not convey original content but are like skeletons upon which you can build a point or an idea. One such expression in rbe first paragraph is "_ _ produced by _ _ tend to _ _ ." Using rbis stretch of language as a starting point, students from various fields could write rbese sentences. Layering produced by deformation tends to have sharply defined dark and light layers. The vinegar produced by this method tends to be of inferior quality due to uncontrolled conditions. The introduction of technologies produced by research tends to be a minor source of innovation in industry. Can you find any phrases in the excerpt that you might be able to use in your own writing? Task 9 Read the passage, which has been divided into three parts. Choose the item that best completes each part. Each of the choices is grammatically correct; however, not all will work

equally well. Before making your choices, consider the flow of the entire passage, not just the individual items. 1. Since the onset of air travel in the early 1900s, aircraft collisions with birds and other wildlife have been an ongoing threat to human safety. These collisions, known as wildlife strikes, occur on average nearly 20 times per day and have damaged or destroyed more than 400 aircraft. These collisions have resulted in an average cost of $117,787 per incident 2. Over the last 40 years, the number of wildlife strikes has been increasing. Two years ago, 7,600 strikes were reported. Last year that number rose to 8,000. Over the last decade, there has been a threefold increase. Several factors have contributed to this growing threat. First, most airlines are replacing older three- or four-engine aircraft with quieter, more efficient aircraft with two engines, which has resulted in less engine redundancy and a greater likelihood of engine failure in a collision with wildlife. 3. Second, wildlife management programs have contributed to growth in the populations of many species of wildlife that are often involved in strikes. For example, the once- endangered Canada goose population has grown by more than 10% each year for the last 30 years. Canada geese and other birds, such as gulls, have expanded into urban and suburban areas, including airports. Third, the number of commercial and non- commercial flights has more than doubled over the last two decades; therefore, the parallel increases in wildlife populations and air traffic contribute to a higher probability of a wildlife strike. Unit 14 Sentence Number Situation coral reefs have been undergoing alarming changes because of environmental stresses Problem the loss of the algae exposes the white calcium carbonate skeletons, thus leaving the coral unable to grow or reproduce. Solution One approach currently under study involves transplanting healthy coral into a bleached reef. Evaluation Coral reefs require from 30 to 100 years to recover from bleaching, if they recover Which of these sections receives the greatest treatment? "Why? I believe the section of the problem receives the greatest treatment because it explains why the text was constructed.
