Post # 8 - What's Your Medicine?

Hello RW2B!

We are almost finished Week 11 of the program!  Only one week to go and then final exams.  Hang in there!  you are doing great!

Recently we read an article about "Leech Therapy".  Ewwwwww!  Gross!  Well, medical usage of Leeches is not THAT gross, but Leeches themselves are pretty yucky!

In Canada, Leech Therapy OR Hirudotherapy is not a common practice, but it is legal and accessible in private clinics in larger cities.

Does your country allow doctors to use leeches to treat their patients? Do you think this is a good thing?  Why or why not?  If you had the opportunity, would you try Leech Therapy?

Post # 7 - Serious Fun

Hello All,

This week we started unit 6, which talks about playing video games and if it is a good thing or bad thing for people to do.  Many people think that it is bad for kids to play video games.  Others think that people can learn a lot from video games (though some things may not be useful).  What is your opinion?  Do you think people can learn from video games or not?  Give detailed examples.

Post # 6 - Public Transportation

Hello!  We are nearing the end of week 9!  Only 3 weeks to go!  Keep up the good work!

Do you think that public transportation (buses, subways, trains) where you live is unpleasant to ride?  After reading "A Civilized Suggestion," do you think that New York's subway is less pleasant than the subway or bus in other cities?  What makes you think so?

Which opinion do you agree with?  Why?

A. We need more police to make people more polite.

B. We need more rules to make people more polite.

C. We just need to remember our manners.
