assignment 3

2) The author is trying to give facts about using cell phones wile driving.
3) The main idea of the article is to give fact about being on your cell phone while driving.
The four signal words were, Contrast to, In a addition, Between , and While.

In my own words, I feel that it is just out right dumb to be on your phone while driving even if you are wearing a bluetooth or not, because your mind is in two different places while your driving. its unsafe especially if you have passengers in your car because no only do you have a responsibility to make sure that nothing happens to you while you are on the road, but you have to make sure that you get your passengers to their destination safely.

assignment 4

1. i agree with the decision having texting banned. as a matter of fact, i think that texting should be banned in every state no matter how old the person is. Texting is very dangerous because you have to think about the other people that are car and not just yourself because you may never know what kind of accident you ,may get into.

2. i think texting is worse than talking on the phone and driving under the influence. the reason why is because while you are texting, your misnd ois not concentrated on the road and neither is your eyes. It is said that texting is more dangerous than driving under the influence.

1. What do you think the author's main purpose of writing this article?

2. Do you think that U.S citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination?
- i don't think that people who smoke are being discriminated against because there are other things to think about like race, and ethnicity.
