There are ten questions for assignment 1.

Read the text given and then answer the questions following it. This Text is for
questions 1-5.

As today's bride and groom celebrate their wedding, they have every excuse for being
nervous. They exchange promises of lifelong fidelity and mutual support. However, all
around them, they can see that many people do not and cannot keep these promises. Their
own marriage has a one in three chance of divorce, if present tendencies
continue.
Traditional marriage is facing a crisis, at least in Britain. Not only are there more
and more divorces, but the number of marriages is falling. Living together is more
popular than before. The family is now no longer one man, one woman and their
children. Instead, there are more and more families which include parents, half sisters and
brothers, or even only one parent on her / his own.
Although Britain is still conservative in its attitudes to marriage compared with
other countries such as the USA, Sweden and Denmark, the future will probably
see many more people living together before marriage - and more divorce.
Interestingly, it is women rather than men who apply for divorce.
Seven out of ten divorces are given to the wife. Also, one of the main reasons for
divorce, chosen by ten times more women than men, is unreasonable or cruel
behaviour. Perhaps this means that women will tolerate less than they used to.

6. An abstract concisely explains all the key points of an academic text such as a thesis,
dissertation or journal article. It should summarize the whole text, not just introduce it.

An abstract is a type of summary, but summaries are also written elsewhere in

academic writing. For example, you might summarize a source in a paper, in a
literature review, or as a standalone assignment.

7. A work of fiction is created in the imagination of its author, who invents the story and
makes up the characters, the plot or storyline, the dialogue and sometimes even the
setting. There are three main types of fiction: the short story, the novella and the novel.

8. I prefer clasical romance because A Classical view of life is founded upon an intense
awareness of the frailties of human nature and a skepticism of unexamined instinct.
The Classical attitude knows that our feelings can frequently hinder our better insights;
that we repeatedly misunderstand ourselves and others, and that we are never far from
folly and error.

9. A reading reflection is an opportunity for students to think about what they've read,
identify important aspects of the text, and make connections between their own lives
and the text. Reading reflections can include written responses, artwork, or even
discussions with a partner or small group.

10. Make a good abstact :

1. Write the paper first

2. Provide introductory background information that leads into a statement of your
aim
3. Briefly describe your methodology
4. Clearly describe the most important findings of your study
5. State the conclusion concisely and avoid overstatements
