(TPO 44 1) The reading passage talks about the scope creep, you know, as the project progress, the client often ask for more that the business originally expected to provide. For example, the professor’s friend has a construction company, and the company was hired to build a wooden fence for lady. They made a verbal agreement and didn’t put anything in the writing. Latter, when the job almost done, that lady said she want the fence be painted white. But the professor’s friend thought he was hired to just build the fence, not painting the fence, but finally, he agree with the woman’s request. But he is not very happy about this. Therefore, it’s a good example that explains scope screep.
(TPO 40 2) The professor talks about two strategies that sell people use to address custom’s concerns. Well, The first is pointing out sth special about the product. When the sell person showing the custome laptop, the custome just raise the concern that the laptop is a little bit expensive, in this case, the sell person can point out how fast the laptop is, so hopefully, it can address the custome’s concern. and another strategy is demonstrate product in response to the concern.

生物
(TPO 40 1) The reading passage talks about agonistic behaviour, this is a kind of an agressive behaviour, which animal participant in the phyical competition to demonstrate which one is more powerful.

At the end, the winner snake look for food in the hole. Therefore, it’s a good example that explains this behaviour.

This is because the scientist have found a lot of bones of this gaint birds near an ancient dry up lake.

Therefore, it’s 2 examples to explain the primacy effect.
(TPO 41 2) Well, the professor talks about 2 reasons why play is important for children’s development. First of all, play can help chidlren feel more in control, because when playing, they are able to control their own world, they can decide which toy to play, and how to play with it, for example, they can play building blocks without help. So in this case, children feel more in control. Besides, it’s more important because it give children a safe way to explore certain urgenence, to be specific, it allow them to explore the urgence to be destructive. for example, children can smash the blocking all down.
