Yes, it’s very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power has its limitations (局限). It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesn’t have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎) and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I can’t think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler. |
| Sally 9-May-2008 |
Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power. |
| Tina 17-May-2008 |
But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power. |
| Tommy 19-May-2008 |
Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more compared to machines. |
| Mike 20-May-2008 |
I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise. |

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. . Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.
At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）.

Active listening is an essential skill in learning. It is when you listen carefully to make sure you understand and learn the information that is being conveyed. Here are some things which can help you to listen actively.
◆ . Don’t just write everything down. Listen carefully and make sure you understand what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure you understand how these notes are related.
