In the lecture, the lecturer strongly states that the advantages of living roofs are grossly exaggerated. This totally argues against the reading passage’s belief that building living roofs on the top of buildings is very effective in many aspects. In fact, the reading is somewhat wrong, less convincing, and even excessively exaggerated.
First, the professor maintains that building the green rooftop can’t solve the problem of the shortage of city parks. This is because only some a few people who are working in such building can exploit the rooftop. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s argument that living roofs can offer newly additional parks for the public.
Second, the speaker maintains that the rooftop park can’t enhance the aesthetics of cities. This is because usually, most people walk on the sidewalk. So, they can’t view the rooftop below. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s argument that by building the green rooftop, people can see a great view like trees and flowers in it.
The last, the lecturer describes that it is not effective to build the rooftop in a respect of the cost saving. This is because additional fees happen in order to maintain the park. For example, the soil and plants can clog drains and cause water to leak. This refutes the reading passage’s assertion that the rooftop offers a substantial cost saving.
Some people might say that it is better to watch serious movies that are designed to make you think than to watch movies that are primarily designed to amuse or entertainment, while others might think that differently. However, this is a very complicated question to me. This is because everything depends on what situation you are faced with. Actually, I have a couple of reasons to support my idea. I will clearly show and develop my personal opinion as specifically as I can in the next following paragraphs below.
On the one hand, I think that watching entertaining movies makes people laugh. So, they can relax and reduce stress by laughing about some funny scenes. Although some people might say that a movie focused on entertainment is so light that viewers don’t have to watch the movie, I think that sometimes, watching such movie is necessary in our life. This is because a primitive smile makes the viewers healthy. To give an example of this, for example, according to a recent data from KSC, Korea Statistical Center in South Korea, they conducted a survey about the correlation between watching entertaining movies and health. Before watching an entertaining movie, viewers did a survey related to stress degree. After watching them and doing the survey again, surprisingly, their stress degree changed positively. In the survey, they responded that thanks to a light theme, it was possible to watch it comfortably, and it was really good to feel a basic smile. Moreover, they said that by laughing about some funny scenes and speeches, they could reduce stress and trivial thoughts. Therefore, if you want to remove your stress and relax, it is better to watch a fun movie than a serious movie.
On the other hand, I think that if you are an examinee, it is better to watch serious movies related to education than movies focused on entertainment. This is because watching such serious movies can help your study as well as relieving stress you relieve stress. Some people might say that serious movies are not fun or boring. However, I disagree with this opinion. This is a biased idea. There are ,of course, lots of funny meaningful and educatonal scenes and speeches. For example, when I was a middle school student, it was hard for me to study history such as memorizing historical events. Accidently, I watched a historic film on TV. Surprisingly, the film handled historic contents about Chosun Dynasty that I had not easily understood in class. After watching it, I could understand the contents somewhat due to the well organized scenario and meaningful factors. Moreover, I felt a sense of killing two birds with one stone. This was because by watching the educational movie, I could gain valuable knowledge that I had lacked and get rid of stress to some degree. Since I discovered how to study history, I have built a wide spectrum of knowledge through serious movies. In this regard, it is better to watch serious movies related to learning than those designed to amuse or entertain.
