Independent Writing: Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? In order to succeed, you should be morelike others than be different from everyone else.
There is an old Chinese saying: the nail that sticks up mostly gets hammered down. Reagrding difference as badness, most Chinese are prone to being like others and claim that the middle course is the safest and basic way to success. However, in my view, this kind of choice can help nothing about success but undermine the uniqueness of your value, the opportunity to get appreciation and the courage to walk your own way.
First and foremost, the difference from others in a certain field or skill is the key component of a person’s value. The one gets paid most in a company is not the most hard-working guy but the person who provides views or products with his unique analysis or creativity nowadays, like senior analyst, or the fund manager. Because what the society recognizes most as a giant production machine is your personal irreplaceable function in it, instead of being a duteous but duplicated screw.
On the other hand, holding the different view instead of saying what everyone says is the success itself sometimes. History has witnessed scientists struggling against the old theory system from generation to generation. Without the courage of scientists to putting forwardthe total different even "ridiculous” view at the certain period, people will never be aware that the earth is round, or the space can be twisted, and the name of Galileo or Einstein will never be shining on the science history.
Furthermore, success is associated with both aptitude and attitude. While the difference in aptitude leads to the outstanding role in a stage as mentioned above, the attitude of being and keeping different is the access to the highlight stage. Although it is really easierto get hammered down, being the nail that sticks up also attracts more people,especially the upper, who may get interests and provide help. There are so many active young entrepreneurs positively showing their personal characteristics and ambitions and finally getting the start fund from VC or PE as their first and key step to legend.
Being different needs courage since you may come on a way alone to an unknown destination accompanied by laughter and doubts from others. But the name of the destination may be success rather than mediocrity as most people choose, because you are the only one with indispensable ability and attitude in the tremendous world.

Integrated Writing: TPO15 The lecturer contradicts that all of the three ways to stop the growth of cane toads in Australia will be unsuccessful or cause unwanted damage and gives her explanations.
First of all, the lecturer contends that the national fence will not be so helpful to prevent the spread of cane toad as what the reading says. Because young toads and cane toad eggs are living in the stream, they can flowing from one place to another through this waterway far beyond the control of fence which can only prevent a few toads establishing their new habitats on other sites.
Second, the lecturer doubts the ability of these untrained volunteers to distinguish the difference between the cane toads and many Australian native frogs, especially when they are too young. And blind capture may destroy the population of the innocent native frog species, some of which has been endangered.
Finally, the disease-causing virus will bring about terrible consequence to the original habitat, like South America. Accordingto the lecturer, it is quite easy for the virus to migrate to South America through researchers or pet collectors and attack the cane toad, which is the native species and is vital to the local ecosystem. Therefore, developing adisease-causing virus will eventually devastate the ecological system in South America.
In a sum, the lecturer disputes each of the methods to stop the cane toad in Australia in the text and concludes that fences, volunteers and virus are either useless or dangerous.
