Workers are more satisfied when they have different tasks than when they to similar tasks all day.
Working eight hours a day is not easy to anyone, even if people like their job, most of them get tired along the day. The condition can get worse, for example, if the tasks executed during the day are repetitively. Working on the same activity all day long results in a tired brain and body and in a feeling of being useless.
First of all, the brain is divided in many areas, which are responsible for different activities executions. Considering this, working several hours in the same task means the brain is overusing a specific area of the brain rather than the others. The result of this inequality of brain exercise is that at the final of the day there is an increase on the tiredness. For example, I have experienced a job in which I had to work a lot with drawing on computers. I used to use software called AutoCad every day, which requires a lot of mechanical work with the computer mouse. I had to use this tool eight hours a day, therefore, and the end of the day I felt so much pain in my hands and arms. My neck was also hurt because I had to be at the same position to be able to perform my drawing with efficiency. After a three days a week doing this work I felt I was just not able to execute it for the remaining weekdays, thus my productivity also decreased, and it made me feel even worse.
Furthermore, repetitively work leads people to feel unable to develop other activities. This is a result of the not using other parts of the brain. For example, in that same work, I was required just the use of the mouse, the knowledge of the software and remembering the commands. There was no need to write or to use logical rationality. Therefore, after a considerable amount of time in this job I felt I was not able to write an entire paper, or to plan a project, because my brain was so used to execute that same task that I had forgotten how to do all the others that once I knew. In addition, I was not able to read books as fast as I used to, because I have got unused to it.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that varying the activities during a shift is very important. This is because most people would feel less tired due to the division of work in their own body and mind, and they would also feel more satisfied due to the practicing of different abilities, so developing their skills.

Integrated Writing Taks to Toefl - Norse man coins
The Reading and the lecture are both about the coins found in North america, which are known for being brought thousands of years ago from Norse man. The reading passage supports that those coins are a fake discovery, and that someone probably put them there to mislead public. In contrary, the lecturer affirms that it is possible that those coins where once brought from Norse man. The main points discussed are presented in this essay.
First of all, the author introduces doubts about the distance of the coins site and the norse man settlements. It is mention that those site with the coins are far away from the settlement and thus, it is very likely that they were bring from norse man. The professor refutes this and states that the norse man used to travel long distances and, therefore, the coins could have been carried with them during those travels, even though they didn’t had a permanent settlement.
Secondly, the author contents that there was no other coins like that in the region. The article notes that, if the norse man had bring at a moment coins to Canada, it would probably have more of the same coins. The lecturer disagrees and supports that, once the norseman had no permanent settlement at that place, they would have taken it back with them. She elaborates on this by explaining that, once they had to return to Europe there was no point in living the coins in such places.
At last, the reading points that native American did not recognized any value in coins. The article argues that there was no reason for taking it to those places, since they wouldn’t be able to commercialize with the natives. The professor, on the other hand, explains that even though native americans did not recognize coins value as European did, it is possible that it had a kind of worth. She puts forwards the idea by saying that native appreciated several kind of object, not because it was a coin, but because of its beauty. Finally, she exemplifies with necklesses, which are beautiful and was extensively used as an exchange between native americans and Europeans.

Parents should spend their time playing games or studying with their children?
Most people who have children nowadays do not have enough time spend with their children. Sometimes, they have to choose between having fun with their children or to help them in their homework. In my opinion, if they have no option to do a little bit of each, it is better to dedicate to studies help rather then having a fun time.
First, because when we are young we need to be teached the importance of focusing a period of our day on studies at home. It is not just important to better absorve the disciplines being taugh at school, but even more relevant. When studying frequently accompanied with parentes, children get used to study, and it becames easier and enjoyable. In my personal life, I have regreted that my parents have always opt for the momentaneous pleasure, choosing always when possible, to have fun with me, rather than study. For this reason, I had hard times when starting university. At this period of my life I had to learn alone that my pleasurable times should wait and that I must spent most of my time studying in order to finish graduation. If my parentes had teached me the importance of studying while I was a child, my young adult life would have been much easier.
Second, during childhood, children have lots of friends, and there is no need that parents spend their time playing games with them. Although adults may want to play with their kids, they wouldn’t be able to play games for a long time with them, even if they try to. Child’s energy is incredible superior than adult’s, therefore, they must play games and have fun with other children, rather then their parents. Otherwise, they just won’t be satisfied with the effort made by their parentes. During my childhood, I was lucky that I had many friends and cousins with my age. Yet, even with all the attention I had from parents playing with me, I still wanted to go out, and play with other childrens.
In conclusion, parents most important role is to prepare their children to the future. To do it they have to teach kids the importance of the study. None the less, the fun time of kids must be guaranteed ensuring that they are in the company of other youngers, with similar age, energy and time to waste.

TPO - Integrated Writing 48 - Frogs Extinction
The reading and the lecture are both about solutions to frog extinction. There are some causes to the known decrease in number of frogs species pointed by the reading, and to each of them, the author presents a solution. On the other hand, the lecturer rebusts each solution, arguing that those they are unpractical.
First, the reading initiates discussing about pesticides. Because pesticides affects frogs nervous systems, causing breathing problems, the first solution presented is to diminish certain types of pesticide use. Unlike the author, the lecturer believes that this alternative could cause a colapse in locals economies. Indeed, the pesticides use prohibition would decrease the production of farms near to frogs population, those farmers would loose crops and the result could be devastating.
Second point the reading presents is the fungus-disease that affects frog population. The author supports that are available treatment for those illnesses which can be treated with certain medicines. This point is questioned by the lecturer, who illustrates how complicated and costly this solution would be, by explaining that it would be necessary to applicate in each individual frog this medicine.
At last, the reading passage explains the effect of the threaten in frogs natural habitats as wetlands and lakes. The author explains that frogs are completely dependent on water to reproduce, and thus, the maintenance of this species suffers with the human pressure over this environments. Yet, the lecturer belief is oppose to the author. She argues that the main cause of the frog probable extinction would be the global warming. According to her, the pressure under wetlands and lakes due to human needs to water is secondary and influence on this need would not give positive results to frog population.

The increase on information availability effect on today's world
The information is now, more than ever, available to a significant part of the world population. This influences in today's life in several ways, which can be positive and negative. However, the final resolution of this equation is positive, poiting to the benefit of humanity.
First example of influence to be emphasized is in the politics. Currently, several scales of corruption has been announced in many countries over the world. In Brazil, for example, the lastest president of the country suffered an impeachment for this reason. There is a positive point in this situation which is the awareness of the population about the real behaviour of their governments. The negative issue in this case, is that personal aspects of governmentors life can also be spread, taking of their privaty life rights. However, politicians may have been awared of it when opting for this carrier. Therefore, the benefits of internet information on politics is worth.
Another positive consequence of availability of information is to facilitate people to study and decrease the lack of oportunity between students. The access to study material is now easier to find in the internet, than it was before widespred of internet. For example, studying english was, once in the past, only possible for those who could afford for expensive classes. Today is possible to access material to study as book in websites as “Ebah” or to watch free classes on “YouTube”, among other sources. In addition, we can point the information widespread on internet regarding availability of scholarships abroad. There are websites speciallized in find the scholarship that matches your profile, for example “PhD Positions”. Besides that, most Universities have clear and easy to use websites announcing this kind of information. Even though a considerable part of world population still excluded from the access to internet, the advance of the last years should be highlighted.
As a conclusion, significant benefits from today's world are a consequence of the widespread of information through internet. The awarness of population of world politic situation and the diminish of diffence on students oportunities are very expressive examples that illustrate why use of internet is benefitial to today’s world.

Integrated Writing 49
Both reading and lecture main discussion is whether the humping-whale does navigate based on stars position or not. The reading supports this statement while the lecture arguments are opposed to it. The main points discussed are the following.
First, the author points that one reason because whales probably use this strategy to navigate straight is based on its hi-degree of intelligence. It is known that whale’s intelligence is superior to most other animals. This point is contradicted by the lecturer, by stating that there are other animals able to navigate using stars, but they have no excellent intelligence compared to other animals, as whales do. To illustrate it, the lecturer gives the example of the dukes.
Second, the reading and the lecturer agree that these animals are conducted by external forces. The reading passage states that these forces are the starts that they use as a reference. As an example, the author uses other land animals, which uses land point to reference their paths, like birds. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that the external force giving the direction to the whales is the magnetic field. He explains that whales have biomagnotide in their brain and thus they are able to feel the magnetic field and follow a straight path.
At last, the author says that the spy-hopping is a habit that whales have because they are looking for starts to get their directions. The lecturer confronts this idea and supports that other animals also have this habit, but do not migrate. In addition, he says that whales also do the spy-hopping at day time, when there are no stars at the sky.
