INTEGRATED WRITING: Is waking up early beneficial or not
도와주시길 바래요~ 감샤 :)
The reading passage discusses and supports the statement “The early birds get the worm”, which is later argued against by the lecturer for several reasons.
It was mentioned in the lecture about the discovery which the scientists have made – that the human being needs fixed amount of time spent on sleeping. The lecturer argues that not doing so would affect your health and eventually you will end up getting sick. To make sure you get enough sleep and get up early at the same time, you would have to sleep early – which doesn’t give you any extra time in the end. This contradicts the point made in the reading passage which states that more time can be used for constructive purposes and will improve the quality of everyone’s lives.
The reading passage has brought up another more specific reason why you should be “the early bird”. It argues that more work can be done in the morning as there would be less distraction both from your family members and peers. However, according to the lecture, the scientists have proven how this will disturb your body’s natural rhythm. Some people can’t work in the morning whilst some can. Because it is decided by your genes, forcefully trying to wake up early in the morning when you are not one of the “morning person” would make you tired for the whole day. As this would reduce the productivity of your work, it proves the point made in the reading passage (that waking up early is more productive) wrong.
To sum up, the lecturer argues against the reading passage which claims waking up early is beneficial. He contradicts the first point (waking up early improves the quality of everyone’s lives) by explaining how this would make life more miserable as people would end up getting sick. Also, he contradicts the other point made (waking up in the morning improves productivity) by explaining how this may disturb human’s natural rhythm, thus decreasing productivity.
