Question 3: (True or False) Comprehension: Use the information in the passage to answer the questions below.

A VETO ON VIDEO GAMES:

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m worried that electronic games are dominating children’s lives. There are games

that simulate sports like baseball and basketball, and that’s all some kids know about the sports. Someday

soon, a young couple will take their children to their first baseball game and hear the kids exclaim, “This is

great. It’s almost like the real baseball we play on our home screen.” When I took my son to a recent Lakers

basketball game, the thing that seemed to excite him most was a video game in the lobby. You see, if a kid

didn’t want to be bored watching some of the greatest athletes in the world play, he could just put a

quarter in the machine and watch lifeless electronic images instead. My son’s teacher was right. Kids do

play and talk about these games too much. They even have books and magazines that kids can study and

classes so they can get better at the games. And that’s what’s got me worried. I’m just concerned that this

activity is so absorbing; kids are going to grow up thinking that the first people to fly that airplane at Kitty

Hawk were the Super Mario Brothers.

A VETO ON VIDEO GAMES:

Our society is so computerized and dehumanized that kids don’t need one more reason to avoid playing

outside or going for a walk or talking with a friend. I'd still feel this way even if there were nothing wrong

with games whose objectives are to kill and destroy.

I know, I know. There are games other than those like Rampage, Robocop, Motor Cross

Maniacs, Bionic Commando, Dr. Doom's Revenge, Guerrilla War, and Super Street Fighter. But aren’t the

violent games the one the kids love to play for hours? And hours. And hours. My son told me he likes the

"killing games" the best, hasn’t had much experience with "sport games," and likes "learning games" the

least because they are "too easy". (Manufacturers take note.) My five-year-old daughter told me she

enjoyed playing Duck Hunt at a friend's house. The beauty of this game is that even very young players can

have the fun of vicariously shooting animals. And then there's the game with my favourite title-an obvious

attempt to combine a graceful sport with exciting action-Skate or Die.

ADVERTISING Your child has leukaemia. The most devastating news a parent could hear. It used to mean

there is a little chance of survival. Now 80 % of kids not only survive – but lead normal

lives. How? New breakthrough medicines discovered and developed by pharmaceutical

company researchers have given many leukaemia patients and their parents a second

chance. The new medicines our researchers are discovering are giving families hope and

patients a chance to be kids again.

COMPREHENSION PASSAGE:

We are the kind of parents who don't promote video games. We are among the ever shrinking group of parents known as video game hold outs. We don't prefer to buy a video game set. I said you know you are not going to get Nintendo he said “ I know I’m not going to get it from you, but I might get it from him, Alas , Santa , too let him down. I don’t think that playing a video game now and then is really harmful to children. But the children I know are so obsessed with the games that they prompted at least one 2nd grade teacher to ban the word Nintendo from the classroom. When I asked my 7 year old if the teacher wouldn’t let the kids talk about the games because that’s all they were talking about he said “no that’s all we were thinking about.” Our society is so computerized and dehumanized that kids don’t need one more reason to avoid playing outside.

A giant face looms on a billboard, smiling and suggesting that a particular brand of bread will make you happy too. The scent of a flowery perfume drifts up as you open the magazine. Colorful signs on taxis and buses tell you to eat at certain restaurants. Print advertisements are everywhere. These ads combine words, images and sometimes even smell to convince people to buy or support a product or service. Print ads persuade people by appealing to their wants and needs. They often interest readers by using clever slogans and attractive images.

Wait until you grow up you can do that when you are an adult. Sometime it must seem if you are very little or have no say in the issues that affect your life. This can be very frustrating at times too especially when you have your own opinion. There is a way through which you can express your own opinion by persuasion. It is a type of communication that offers an opinion and supports it with reasons and evidences. Some persuasive communications even allow the readers or listeners to take specific action.

Making a Formal Argument – An Apple a Day

Directions: Argue for or against the statement below using a formal argument. In a formal argument, you

must

1) State your position.

2) Provide point(s) that support your position.

3) Support each point with specific reasons/examples.

Statement:

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Example Answer: I agree with the statement above; eating piece of fruit each day is the most

important step we can take toward good health. The vitamins in a piece of fruit can stave off the common

cold and improve your eyesight. The fructose in a piece of fruit can increase alertness and provide enzymes

that aid digestion. On the other hand, an apple, no matter how nutritious, cannot keep you from falling down

and breaking a bone.

So it doesn’t actually keep the doctor away, but it makes the doctor visits less frequent.
