Step 3 Sample response: Parisians were opposed to building the Eiffel Tower for several reasons. They thought the tower would destroy Paris’s beautiful landscape. They considered the design to be like an ugly skeleton. They also thought the tower would be useless. In the lecture, we see that all those reason are no longer valid. First, the tower has come to represent, rather than destroy, the landscape of Paris. Second, the skeletal design once considered ugly is now the world’s nicest example of 19 th century industrial architecture. Finally, instead of being useless, the tower has been very useful for broadcasting. Skill C Q5 --- practice 1 Step 1 Suggested answers: Problem: She falls asleep in class.

Lecture: - Main idea: The problem with head scarves is that it gives Turkey a bad image. - Supporting idea: The image of head scarves gives an old-fashioned, uncivilized image. - Supporting idea: In the past, Turkey banned another fashion that seemed old-fashioned, the fez. Step 4 According to the reading, some people in TURKEY WANT to ban head scarves IN CLASS. SOME politicians and MOST universities are in favor of RULES or laws BANNING head scarves in class. However, Muslim women and some professors are AGAINST such rules and laws. Those who are against HEAD SCARVES argue that they give Turkey a bad IMAGE. Women wearing head scarves give Turkey an OLD-FASHIONED or UNCIVILIZED image. This issue is similar to one in the past when the GOVERNMENT in TURKEY outlawed MEN from wearing the FEZ in public. Practice 2 Step 1 Issue: Who DISCOVERED the Americas? Vikings: - had VILLAGE in Newfoundland - arrived five HUNDRED years before Columbus Columbus: - HISTORIANS say his voyage in 1492 was more important - opened the door for European SETTLEMENT Step 2 Question: Did Columbus learn about North America in ICELAND? Pro: - he wrote in his DIARY about visiting a land similar to Iceland in 1477 - he might have learned about North America from the VIKINGS in Iceland Con: - details about Iceland in his diary were WRONG - no other EVIDENCE that Columbus went to Iceland Step 3 Reading: - Main idea: Who discovered the Americas? - Supporting idea: The Vikings had the first village in North America. - Supporting idea: Columbus’s voyage in 1492 was more important because it led to European settlement of North America. Lecture: - Main idea: Did Columbus learn about North America in Iceland? - Supporting idea: In his diary, Columbus describes a 1477 voyage to a place like Iceland. - Supporting idea: Many of the diary details were wrong, and it is the only evidence that Columbus visited Iceland. Writing Chapter 1 702 Answer Key Step 4 Did Christopher COLUMBUS really DISCOVER the New World? We know that the VIKINGS reached NORTH AMERICA 500 years before Columbus arrived in 1492. Some HISTORIANS believe that Columbus visited ICELAND before he went to America. They think he learned about North America from the people there. However, there is not enough EVIDENCE to prove that this happened. Even though the VIKINGS got there first, many HISTORIANS say that Columbus’s VOYAGE to North America was more important. The Vikings had only one VILLAGE in Newfoundland. Columbus opened the door to European SETTLEMENT. Practice 3 Step 1 Issue: The PROS and CONS of the Internet Pro: Can: - RESEARCH information - COMMUNICATE with people all over the world - SHOP from home Con: Children can access INAPPROPRIATE information Someone could steal PERSONAL INFORMATION Can be bad for your EYES and BACK Step 2 CONVENIENCE of Net comes at a PRICE - physical problems and SOCIAL problems Main problem of Net - ISOLATES people from SOCIETY - don’t have FACE-TO-FACE contact - forget EMOTIONS of others online Step 3 Reading: - Main idea: There are both pros and cons to the Internet. - Supporting idea: Good points are that people can research, communicate, and shop online. - Supporting idea: Bad points are that children can get inappropriate information, someone could steal personal information, and using a computer too much is bad for health. Lecture: - Main idea: Although the Internet is an amazing invention, it has some bad effects. - Supporting idea: Internet users can become isolated. - Supporting idea: People forget the emotions of people they communicate with online. Step 4 The INTERNET is an amazing INVENTION, but you should be careful how you use it. You can do lots of things on the Internet, such as RESEARCHING information, watching movies, CHATTING/COMMUNICATING with people all over the world, and SHOPPING. However, as the reading points out, you may find bad things online, too. There are some websites that CHILDREN should not see. Also, dishonest people may use the Internet to steal money or even steal your personal INFORMATION. The reading also says that using the internet too often can cause HEALTH problems. On top of all this, the professor says in her lecture that the Internet also causes SOCIAL problems. She says people may become ISOLATED from society. They may also forget about other people’s EMOTIONS online because they don’t see those people FACE-TO-FACE. Practice 4 Step 1 Issue: Is Pluto a PLANET? - some SCIENTISTS are changing their minds Pro: - shaped like a SPHERE - has a MOON - has a thin ATMOSPHERE - been called a planet since 1930 Step 2 Problem with Pluto’s CLASSIFICATION Evidence that it is “not a PLANET” - SIMILAR to objects from KUIPER BELT - is tiny - fits definition of COMET - has a TILTED orbit Step 3 Reading: - Main idea: Is Pluto a planet? - Supporting idea: Yes, because Pluto had enough gravity to form a sphere like a planet, and it has its own moon. - Supporting idea: Pluto has a thin atmosphere. Answer Key 703 Lecture: - Main idea: Scientists want to change the classification of Pluto. - Supporting idea: Pluto doesn’t seem like a planet because it is similar to other objects in the Kuiper Belt, and it looks like a comet. - Supporting idea: Pluto has a tilted orbit, which is different than other planets. Step 4 Some scientists are thinking about changing the CLASSIFICATION of Pluto. Should it be called a PLANET? On one hand, the reading passage says Pluto has several characteristics SIMILAR to a planet. It orbits a star, has enough GRAVITY to form a SPHERE, has an ATMOSPHERE, and has a MOON. On the other hand, the lecture explains that Pluto looks more like a COMET than a planet. Pluto is similar in size to other objects in the KUIPER BELT. It also has a TILTED orbit, which is different than all of the other planets. Although Pluto has been called a planet since its DISCOVERY in 1930, maybe it is time to change Pluto’s CLASSIFICATION.

From bones found in rocks, scientists can see that many animals from the past have disappeared. Skill C Practice 1 Step 2 We learn new things all the time. When we are children, we learn information from our parents, from our friends, or from teachers in school. When we are adults, we learn things from older people, from colleagues, or even from younger people. Although we are all learning all the time, people learn in different ways. Some people learn by reading. Others learn by doing. Personally, I learn better by doing than by reading. One thing I lear ned by doing was how to install programs on my computer. This is a simple thing if you know how to do it. If you do not already know, it can be confusing. The first time I got a new program for my computer, I read the instructions for how to install it. I did not really understand the instructions. It seemed like they were written in a foreign language. Then I put the CD in my computer. I pushed buttons and clicked with my mouse. I installed the program without the instructions at all. Now, I know how to install any program on my computer. Some people disagr ee with my point of view. They say they have to read the instructions to learn how to do things. They do not want to make any mistakes. I think it is OK to make mistakes. When I make a mistake, I learn not to do it that way again. I also learn what happens when I make that mistake. These are both important things to know when you learn to do something new. Step 3 1. The thesis statement of this essay is “Personally, I learn better by doing than by reading.” 2. The topic sentence of the body paragraph is “One 706 Answer Key thing I learned by doing was how to install programs on my computer.” Step 4 1. This essay takes the side of learning by doing is better than learning by reading. 2. The sample the writer gives to support the thesis statement is how the writer learned to install computer programs. 3. The writer does present an idea from the other side in the conclusion. The writer states that some people read to learn so that they don’t make mistakes. 4. The main idea of the conclusion is that even though learning by doing leads to mistakes, making mistakes is useful for learning too. Practice 2 Step 2 It’s important to have good neighbors. I am lucky to have very good neighbors where we live. I think our neighbors are good because they have been friendly since the first day we moved in. Also, whenever a neighborly thing should be done, they always cooperate, or help out. People sometimes complain that their neighbors are difficult, but we have never had any problems with our neighbors. On the contrary, we like our neighbors a lot and we think that our neighbors like us. T wo qualities that make a good neighbor, then, are friendliness and helpfulness. Our neighbors are good neighbors because they are friendly and helpful. I remember the first summer we moved in. One of our neighbors saw that we were new, so she introduced us to her family and told us to ask her if we ever needed anything. In the weeks that followed, the weather was hot and she invited our kids to swim with her children at the pool. Since then, our children and hers have become good friends. Before leaving for summer vacation, we were worried about leaving our house empty for two weeks. Our neighbor offered to collect the letters from our mailbox every day and to make sure our house was OK. Now, whenever she and her family go away, we help them in the same way and keep an eye on their house. Most people realize that having good neighbors is very important. Indeed, I was lucky to have kind and helpful neighbors with whom we quickly became friends. But I also learned a valuable lesson from these neighbors. I learned the one thing as important as having a good neighbor is being a good neighbor yourself. Step 3 1. The thesis statement of this essay is “Two qualities that make a good neighbor, then, are friendliness and helpfulness.” 2. The topic sentence of the body paragraph is “Our neighbors are good neighbors because they are friendly and helpful.” Step 4 1. This personal experience is about the qualities of good neighbors. 2. The examples the writer gives to support the thesis statement are how her neighbor invited them to swim at the pool and how her neighbor took care of her house while her family was away. 3. Two sentences in the conclusion restate ideas previously mentioned in the essay. 4. The main idea of the conclusion is that to have good neighbors, you also need to be a good neighbor.
