VIP Class Notes (David) [S]

Write an answer to the following prompt:

Some universities expect the students to choose a major field of study when they enter the school; while other universities wait until the second or the third year before students deciding to choose a major field of study. Which do you prefer? Why or why not?   

Do you agree or disagree with the statement that experienced doctors are better than young doctors?   

I think experienced doctors, they have experience. You know, the doctor didn’t like the movie star, or the dancer, is the younger better than experience. If the young doctor didn’t have more experience maybe he would do mistake because if someone is sick he go to the hospital he want the better medical for him, no one want to go maybe the very poor hospital. No one trusts the poor hospitals. Maybe I’m wrong but I think like this. In the medical experience is very important. If the doctor see more patients he can make many experience.

The doctor is not like the movie star, or the dancer, where younger can be better than experienced. [For movie stars and dancers, younger can sometimes be better than experienced.] If the young doctor doesn’t have more experience, maybe he would make mistakes because if someone is sick and he goes to the hospital, he wants better medical care. No one wants to go to the very poor hospital. In medicine, experience is very important. If the doctor sees more patients, he can gain more experience.

Some people believe that we should not discuss the private activities of popular people, like movie stars and singers. Do you agree or disagree with this view?

I agree this view. Because popular people they have private life from themself. If every time his life is popular maybe he will think very. They should need private time private activities for themself.

I agree with this view. Popular people have private lives themselves. They need private time for private activities for themselves.
