Help paraphrasing a Paragraph?

July 13, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by Hfghfgj J: Help paraphrasing a Paragraph?
I need some help paraphrasing the following paragraph. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

The project is located in Sandouping, Yichang, Hubei province. The functions of the dam will be to 
generate power with capacity of 18.2 kilowatts, flood control and 
improved navigation. The process of building the dam started in 1993 (Yangtze river diverted), and is still occurring today (entire project should be complete in 2009-2011). Though the building of the Three Gorges Dam is a great idea, there is some controversy. Certain news agencies and organizations 
think that the dam will create an estimated 2 million refugees, and it 
will put to threat human health. It will also flood homes and many cultural sites. Moreover, people also suggest that warnings given by project critics are being 
ignored. It is also reported that the project has resulted in the 
captivity, aggravation and restriction of citizens whose views are 
against those of the officials. A lot of corruption is also reportedly 
involved in the project. This is not good for the people who live in the general area of the construction site, and it does not help China’s economy (and tourists would not want to travel to China because it is seen as being unsafe with the construction occurring).

Answer by Michelle
Just a few changes, really. Also, take note of the question about the use of the word “aggravation” part way through.

The project is located in Sandouping, Yichang, Hubei province. The function of the dam will be to generate power with capacity of 18.2 kilowatts, flood control and
improved navigation. The process of building the dam started in 1993 (Yangtze river diverted) and is still occurring today. (The entire project should be complete in 2009-2011.)

Though the building of the Three Gorges Dam is a great idea, there is some controversy. Certain news agencies and organizations maintain that the dam will create an estimated 2 million refugees, and it will threaten human health. They also maintain that it will flood homes and many cultural sites. Moreover, people also suggest that warnings given by project critics are being 
ignored. It is also reported that the project has resulted in the captivity, aggravation (aggravation seems like a very mild tern to use here…?), and restriction of citizens whose views are contrary to those of the officials. A lot of corruption is also reportedly going on with regards to the project. This is not good for the people who live in the general area of the construction site, and it does not help China’s economy, as tourists do not want to travel to China because it is seen as being unsafe with the construction occurring.

Question by xXallieXx: Plz help! What would you choose?
For my 16th birthday next year my parents are being very generous and they are letting me plan a trip due to the fact that I don’t want to throw a party, but I’m kind of stuck. After a lot of complications it’s come down to two choices:
1. Go on a cruise with friends. I would absolutely love this because it would be fun to have friends around
2. Pick any place in the world to visit. Obviously travelling to somewhere like china would be a stretch but places like Paris, Rome etc.
Idk what to do!! I wanna be with friends but going to somewhere else in the world would b fun. The world trip thing would just be with family though. What would you guys choose? I feel the cruise night be better because the world trip may end up feeling like a family vacation, something we can plan any other year. Help! Plz don’t call me spoiled. I’m surprised my parents would offer this and in very thankful

June 23, 2012 / / 1 Comment

Question by : Nobody will help me. I asked Yahoo to help and they haven’t. My computer is going crazy and it’s brand new.
I only have the problems in Yahoo. Whenever I am in Yahoo all the sudden I will go from Yahoo USA to Yahoo UK and Ireland to Iceland and even make 15 minute layovers in China. I told my daughter about it and she said ‘sounds fun” i said, “no you don’t understand. I am not the one on the world cruise. My computer is. Yahoo is going global and so am I. or balistic. This ONLY happens on the Yahoo website. I tried changing passcodes but that didn’t work. I clicked the american flag 2O times. my daughter is a computer expert and I don’t think even she can fix it. It can’t be the computer cos it’s 10 months old and a very nice computer. please don’t tell me to click the american flag cos that only works for up to a half hour before it goes back to uk or iceland or china. What am i supposed to do? my daughter can’t come help for another 5 days but I doubt even SHE can fix THIS.

Answer by Crouching Doggie
LOL… your question is so cute! I’m hardly a computer expert but I was having a similar problem on my PC. If your running Internet Explorer on Windows platform, try clicking on Tools, Internet Options, Connections, and LAN settings, and be sure that you don’t have a “proxy server” selected on the bottom. Short of that I have no clue how to correct this problem, certainly your daughter would know better than me.

I wish you luck.

I need help planning a trip to China?

June 19, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by jamescroc: I need help planning a trip to China?
Hello,

I am trying to plan a trip to China. I am currently a US citizen living in Georgia. I plan on going alone to China and basically want to backpack to several places including Beijing, the Yangtze river, and Shanghai. I am having trouble finding out how to obtain a visa since there is no Chinese embassy near me and I would also like to know how difficult it is to get a hotel room. I would rather not book them in advance so that I’m not stuck to a strict time schedule. Should them book in advance or can I play it by ear when I arrive? Any advice is appreciated.
I am planning on staying through late May/early April.

Best answer:

Answer by rolly
Late May or early April is a great time to visit China, by travelling in spring you avoid the bitterly cold winter and super humid summer. Getting a hotel shouldn’t be tricky during that time, and I don’t think booking ahead will be overly necessary. Just avoid May 1st to May 7th, the week long May Day national holiday is super hectic, and finding any hotel rooms will be tricky country wide.
In Australia (I’m not sure about the USA), as long as you have a return ticket booked, most travel agents can obtain a 1 month tourist visa without any difficulty. I loved back-packing around China! Go for it mate! You’ll have a ball!
