Answer

I agree with the statement that it should be mandatory for children to attend school until the age of 16 some people would not agree with my idea because they might think that attending school is just a waste of time for some students but I believe that it's really important for students to attend school one thing that comes to my mind when I get this question is it can actually help students in many ways for example when they have to attend school they can have more chance to interact with other students and by doing so they can learn many things like how to see things from different perspective so I would say that it should be mandatory for children to attend school until the age of 16.

Teacher

 

Answer

According to the reading the student thinks that the university should create more parking areas for students the woman in the conversation thinks that it's a good idea for two reasons the first reason she supports the idea in the letter is that there are too many drivers circling around on campus they end up parking on the street but it can be more dangerous for people because it would be a difficult for drivers to see pedestrians the second reason she thinks this will help students in many ways that there are several areas that can be used for parking lots for example the badminton court can only be used in good weather but the parking lots are useful everyday for these reasons she thinks that the university should create more parking areas and she agrees with the idea in the letter.

"Birds that lay their eggs in the nests of other species are referred to as brood parasites. The professor provides two examples to illustrate this behavior. Firstly, she discusses the brown-headed cowbird. Instead of constructing their own nests, brown-headed cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of songbirds. Their offspring grow rapidly and often push out the original songbird chicks. The second example given is the black-headed duck. Like the cowbird, black-headed ducks do not build their own nests, opting instead to use those of water birds. However, unlike the cowbirds, they don't pose harm to the original inhabitants of the nests."

Answer

According to the reading brood parasites are birds that lay their eggs in the nests of others the professor describes two examples to explain how broad parasites behave first he starts the topic by talking about the brown-headed cowbirds they don't build their own nest instead they lay their eggs in the nests of songbirds some song birds incubate the eggs and feed the young this can be disadvantages for the songbirds because the cowbird hatch earlier grow faster and eat more and then the professor continues the lecture by describing the black-headed duck they don't build their own nest instead they lay their eggs in the nest of water birds but when they're young they leave the nest soon after hatching so it seems that there's no adverse effect because it's not harmful to the host family these are the examples that demonstrate how brood parasites behave.

"In the lecture, the professor discusses protective resemblance, a technique animals use to camouflage themselves from predators. He provides two illustrative examples. First, he mentions the peacock flounder, a fish that can change its color to match its surroundings. Specifically, it adjusts its skin cells to create patterns that resemble the ocean floor. The second example given is the leaf-tail gecko. This creature resides in trees and has the unique ability to mimic the appearance of a leaf. By extending its tail and assuming a leaf-like posture, it looks just like the tree leaves. This camouflage is so effective that predators often overlook the gecko even when they are nearby."

Answer

In this lecture the professor describes two ways that animals use protective resemblance first he starts the topic by talking about the fact that some animals can temporarily change their appearance to protect themselves and survive from their predators he gives an example of peacock flounder to make his point they can perfectly blend into the background they can transform from visible to invisible in seconds and then the professor continue the lecture by describing that some animals have permanent patterns the example the professor explain is about leave tail gecko they have a tail that looks like a leaf and the body looks like a small twig their predators will think that they are just a part of tree and ignore them these are the example that demonstrates two ways that animal use protective resemblance.
