12. To conclude is to wrap up an idea. There are many
times when a person concludes something. In
science, a scientist concludes something when new
findings are found through experiments. For
example, it was concluded that a special virus
causes the common cold. However, some
conclusions are not true. Because conclusions are
made from experiments, sometimes other scientists
can make different conclusions. What ideas
concluded in the past have
(Bora LEE / Biotechnology ) changed over time?
13. There are some students who chose forensic
science as a major so they will have the option to
work in departments such as police stations where
they can investigate crimes and hospitals where
they can investigate cadavers (dead bodies).
Where do you think is more important in society /
why ?
( Abdulaziz alqahtani, Forensic science )
14. Many children would like to learn
music. When a children’s musical skills
reach a certain level, their parents
may want them to participate in
musical competitions. How do you
think this might affect children? ( Xun
Xu, Muisc)
15. Do you agree with that there is a gap between law-
based judgments and the law enforcement? And a
gap between morality and law? What would you do
if your friend stole your personal information? And not
only did your friend steal your information but he also
used the credit card burner to produce another card.
And what’s worse is that he just spent all of your
money. But your friend saved your life in the war, and
as the result of saving you, he became disabled.
Would you charge him and let him be arrested for
credit fraud?
(Guanrong Chen, Law)
16. I remember when I went to university I had difficulty
determining my major. I was confused between
what I liked and what I needed in the business field.
Then, with my teacher’s advice and
encouragement, I chose statistics because it was
necessary, and it was a field with low student
enrollment. Do you think universities, institutions or
even teachers should encourage students to
pursue a particular major, or should each student
study what he/she likes?
(Shaikha, Statistica)
17. Civil engineering is basically a major for people who
have the ability to foresee a building , bridge, etc.
They can understand and imagine how a
construction will work. Do you agree that anyone
who studies this major should have the ability to
envision projects? Do you think this is a skill that can
be taught or that it is an innate quality?
(Civil engineering, Mohammad)
