No Babies Allowed?

Should parents be allowed to bring their young baby to an upscale restaurant? Recently there has been some debate about

this issue Restaurant customers sometimes complain that a

crying baby can ruin their special evening out They say that it is

not acceptable that they have paid a lot of money for a special evening and then a crying baby spoils their experience Some parents say that everyone has the right to eat in any restaurant

For them, the price of the meal should not determine who can and cannot eat at that restaurant Restaurant owners find

themselves in a difficult situation because they do not want to lose affluent customers who are willing to spend a lot of money

at their places of business However, these same owners do not want to appear to be cold-hearted when it comes to children

It is indeed a difficult situation In the meantime, it appears

that different restaurants will have different policies about customers bringing young babies with them

Possible answers:

The Value of Bargaining

Bargaining for the best price when you are shopping is a

tough experience The buyer wants to purchase a product at the lowest possible price whereas the seller wants to maximize the potential for profit While the desires of the buyer and the seller completely oppose each other, it is in the best interest of buyers to strategize exactly how they will convince a seller to lower his/her prices Although prices are often not negotiable,

it never hurts to bargain with the seller

Paragraph 1: The vehicle I was driving at the time was

approximately five years old

Paragraph 2: Every day I receive up to 50 text messages

Paragraph 3: The police who arrived at the accident scene were

very polite

Paragraph 4: According to Hayley Tsukayama’s article, the World

Health Organization says that video games are a serious addiction for millions of people

Paragraph 5: Some cell phones can help drivers immediately

call for emergency help if an accident occurs Paragraph 6: Why do people continue to mix texting and driving?

Possible answers:

Confusing Nouns

Learning nouns in a new language may seem easy, but in

fact the grammar of nouns can vary from language to language Spanish, for example, has male nouns and female nouns, but

why newspaper is masculine and magazine is feminine is a

mystery Japanese nouns have no plural form, so Japanese learners of English may think -s is unnecessary in the phrase

many books because the word many already means plural In

German, all nouns are capitalized whereas English capitalizes

nouns that name specific people, places, and things.For

example, English does not capitalize woman or city, but it

does capitalize Susan and Cairo Finally, some languages mark

the role of the noun as subject or direct object, so in Japanese,

-wa is often added to a noun as subject and -o to a noun as the

direct object of a verb English does not require suffixes to mark

the role of nouns in a sentence Because nouns express basic

ideas such as the name of a person, place, or thing, they seem easy, but they can be confusing
