English

Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
The company's relentless advertising campaign ($50 million budgeted this year) has made the
McDonald's jingle, you deserve a break today, almost as familiar as the Star-Spangled Banner. But the
chain's managers have wrought their greatest achievement by taking a familiar American institution, the
greasy-spoon hamburger joint, and transforming it into a totally different though no less
quintessentially American operation: a computerized, standardized, pre-measured, super clean
production machine efficient enough to give even the chiefs of General Motors food for thought.
Machinery and equipment cannot do everything, of course. Human beings are involved too, some
130,000 employees in nine countries, from Western Europe to Japan and Australia. McDonald's has
grown from a uniquely American to a truly global operation. If a manager tries to sell his customers
hamburgers that have been off the grill more than ten minutes or coffee more than 30 minutes old. Big
Brother in Oak Brook will find out. Headquarters executives calculate exactly how much food each
restaurant can be expected to throw away each day, and are ready to chastise a chronically deviant
manager who has no good explanation To some critics, the success of that machine is a devastating
comment on American values. Harvard nutritionist Jean Mayer warms that a steady diet of McDonald's
fare and nothing else could give a customer scurvy because it would lack sufficient vitamin C. Mayer
also says that the menu provides large amounts of fats and calories and contains almost no roughage.
Since no one is forced to eat at a McDonald's the chain must be giving multitudes exactly what they
want. For one thing, many people find the cheerily bland atmosphere re assuming. McDonald's has
designed a place to neutralize this anxiety, a place that does not make a customer feel he will not know
how to use his fork. Also, McDonald's is one of the few places left where a customer can buy a meal for
$1 or less.

Essay Writing

Write an essay on the below topic as per the directions given
"Should laptops replace textbooks?"
Directions
1. Please express your opinion on the given topic within 200 words. You advised adhering to the word
limit to avoid any scoring penalty.
2. Common grammatical rules, punctuation should be according to standard English

Nowdays , everything is becoming electronic and everyone is making use of latest technology. In previous days textbooks are use for student learning
purpose. It is one of the best way of learning for students because of this they will be aware about latest technology and also use of that. It also save our
trees and promote Tree Saving.
Many people think that students should use textbooks in school because it is a traditional way of learning but as every coin has two sides it is similar to that
it is depend upon the user how he/she uses it. By using laptop student will learn how we can perform multiple task at a time. If they will use laptop in schools
instead of collage they will learn everything earlier. They are at that position to develop something by their own.
At last as everything in this world has their pros and cons so if we will use the technology in a better way surely we will learn something new in our life and if
we will make misuse of it so it will not be benifical for us
