*paragraph wrighting:(Fatma)
1.U.S people & Eropeans are two distinct nations,each one of them have his own work system.For example,Americans work hard & don't take much holidays even in the weekends they sometimes work.On the other hand,Europeans don't like working in these days like weekends or vacations,they prefer to spend these times or days with their families playing & gathering together.

2.(p.92)Since Descartes century,a lot of experiments (5oo) have been made to create made-up languages for the international use.Most success one has been Esperanto,it's formed in the end of 19th century by Dr.Zamenhof of Poland.It is easy to learn,speak,& it's words are taken from English,German,languages that developed from Latin,Latin it self,& Greek.But the Interlingua is more recently form internationally,scientifically constructed by team of Latin,Romance,& English languagesBut instead of it's recent form it's not popular as Esperanto in the world language using.

3.(p.92)There were many objections about the made-up languages,as Esperanto & Interlingua,because they didnt evolve all the thought-carrying machinery & shade of meaning that the natural languages had a chance to work out over a period of centuries.Another reason that the made-up languages presented so far lean very heavily in the of western European & American nations direction,& carry very little of Slavic,Asiatic& African way of talking,& habits of thinking.

Europeans notice that Americans schedule everything but the time of relaxation is not included in the schedule. American executives sacrifice their families and health for work. They work alot comparing to Europeans because Americans don't have long vacations; they have fewer holidays. German and French executives believe that American executives are mad about their work because they work all the time and they don't have time to think of something else except the work. Europeans prefer having week ends and holidays so that they can spend time with their families and themselves as well.

Good job, Sara.I like the way you paraphrased the paragraph. However, I'm sure you could do better if you change some words that are repeated in the one sentence. In addition, you could replace some words, like executives and schedule with their synonyms. At the end, you need to add the reference.
Yours,

Paraphrasing paragraph (2):


The Work Ethic of
American and Europeans

Europeans notice that American people register every thing excluding the relaxation time. This is nearly right for American administrative that works hardly. Their work often be at the expense of the time that they spend it with their families and their health. Americans take less and short holidays than that for Europeans. Lot of German and French administration think that American administration are worried with work; they are workaholics. Many Europeans refuse to work in vacation, they prefer to spend it for their families and for themselves ( or can I write ? for relaxation ) (Hall and Hall 145).

Sometimes the European perceive program exclude the break time.This is exactly right in the American executive who force themselves difficulty on here relative and health and health .Americans have littile time on their free day of work. The Germanies and frenches thinks that the Americans executives are manic on their work. Many of European disagree working in free day of work. They keep this time for there relatives and themselves.

Europeans notice that Americans tableing all thing in exactly time for recreation this is in dividual true of American administrator,who compel themselves hard,often at the cost of their family and their healty.Americans have few holidays and take short vacations than do Europeans,antithesis of many German and French administrator,American administrator are abnormally with work,thay are workhouses.most Europeans do not agree to working or weekend.they setaside for specialuse these time for themselve and their families.

Thanks Bashayer for posting your paraphrasing assignment.I would like you to go back to the original paragraph and compare it with your paraphrase. I'm sure that you will notice that you have made some senetences more difficult, and some other ones became unclear. Try to do the comparison, and let me know what do you think.
Thanks,

American like to arrange their time
and their whole life matter. Sometime they
like to work during holidayfor collection money
rather than take rest.On the other hand Europeans
save theirholidays for relaxation and for family
rather than work during those day.

3-its time

4-i dont know any person had a stress vacation all of them enjoed their vacation.

Writing paraphrasing(vacation stress):

1.Accidentaly people miss out the benefit of vacation by taking their holiday under situation that continue these pressures instead of relieving them,since they unknown of the forms that stress can take, they don't know how to avoid it.

2. The social relationships with friends & acquaintances impose on us certain codes of behavior & responsibilities even though we enjoy the company of others.

3. Scheduling our daily life by time,& bearing the traffic sounds,machines,conversation & music,following the social rules of the country we traveled to & arranging our activities imposing by others,& listening to the noises around us.

4.1990 summer my grandmother & grandfather traveled to London to have some rest
from the routine of our daily life.During there vacation as we know on 2/8/1990 Iraqi army attack Kuwait & so my grandmother & grandfather were afraid of their children & tried hard to return back to Kuwait to be next to their family but they couldn?t so they were worried about us & thinking of us so it was a very stressful & hard vacation,they didn?t have fun or rest as they planed.

I haven't experienced a stressful vacation but my brother have experienced it. In our last summer holiday we went to the seaside with all our family members it was a wonderful holiday, until my aunt came with her sons; my brother didn't know what could happen after that. The children were playing in the sea and my brother was just walking at the beach and watching the children play. Suddenly my aunt's elder son pushed my brother to the sea. Unfortunately his mobile phone was in his pocket and it fell in to the water. That mobile phone was the second one missing. He used to like that mobile and he was so sad for it.

Thanks Sara for posting a story about your brother.I'm sure he was so frusterated for loosing another mobile. But was he stressed before the holiday had started?

Hi Maysoon,
Thanks for posting your paraphrasing assignment. But I noticed that your paraphrase is a liitel different than the original paragraph, included in the handout, page 92. Please compare your paraphrasing with the original text, I'm sure you'll find some changes in the meaning. This makes your paraphrasing unacceptable. If you still not sure or cannot find any difference, please see me.
Yours,

Hi Fatma,
thanks for posting your paraphrasing assignments. I noticed that you used the symbol "&" whenever you needed to write "and". Please note that paraphrasing is not Note-Taking, therefore, I don't think it's appropriate to use this knid of symbols.
Generally speaking, you have done a good job.
I would be appreciative if you re-write your corrected assignments and give them to me in class, whenever they are ready.
Best regards,

The answer for the question of chapter 7:

1-Famous technique for changing life.
2-Constructed human gene, manufacture human Insulin.
3-Jams Watson and Francis Crick discover the structure of DNA.
4- DNA is a deoxyribonucleic acid, the basic molecule of life, DNA contained the blueprints for life, it contains all necessary information for the construction growth, and reproduction of living organisms. DNA molecule contains of two chains of chemicals called nucleotides. RNA is similar to DNA in many ways but they different in the sugar units RNA molecule is ribose instate of deoxyribose.
5-Method to overcome the remarkable difficulties surrounding each of genetic engineering researches stages.
6-To correct genetic defects to increase our understanding of humans brain.

Genetic Engineering(summary)

Genetic Engineering

The new industrial revolution will depend in biotechnology, which is the technology that deals with biological technique instate of mechanical. It used from many years before by using the single-celled organism called Yeast, to make cheese, wine and bread.

AND structure was discovered by Watson, J. and Grick, F in 1953. They open the door for scientific discoveries in genetic engineering which is a new technique for altering life . DNA contains the blue prints for life, and replicates by separating into two stands it also have the genetic cod that never changed from the human beginning. DND and RNA are merely likely except in the sugar unit. mRNA send instruction from DNA to the smallest unit of living organism the cell.
DNA molecules consist of structures, which are chromosomes, and human cell has 46 of it.

Human gene was constructed by khorana. Insulin is hormone that natural functions of the body controls by it. There is a human gene that produces insulin that send to the DNA of bacteria to produce large amount of in insulin. Biotechnological revolutions help us in many ways like to cure hard diseases and it will continue and share many major.
