▶ Your Answer :
Both the reading and the lecture hold
different positions, respectively, on the issue of waking up early in the
morning. The lecture’s argument is formed around many points that are in direct
contrast to the material in the reading passage.
Firstly, according to the reading, being “early
birds” is beneficial, since people can manage their time in constructive way. If
people rise up 2 hours earlier, they are able to enhance the quality of their life by
relaxing or training some useful skills. On the other hand, the professor disputes this idea.
He argues that waking up early makes people go to bed early, so people can not gain
enough time to improve the quality of their life. Also, it would harm health and make
people sick.
Secondly, the reading indicates that the
morning is the most productive hours. It is because people are not distracted
by noise or other people in the morning. Contrary to this statement, the
professor asserts that individuals have their own natural rhythm which is
determined by genes. Therefore, foring "nigt owls" to be "early birds" might make "night owls" feel exhausted and tired all
day.
In
conclusion, the professor mentions some finding show that human needs a certain
amount of time to sleep every day. This is contrary to the argument of the
reading, which says that being “early birds” is advantageous for everyone.
