Original Passage:

Liquid crystal displays (LCD) have become increasingly popular in workplaces with video display terminals(VDT). Moden LCDs offer many advantages over cathode ray tubes (CRT). LCDs enable employers to reduce many of the risk factors that cause visual complaints. For instance, reflections on LCDs can be adjusted to high values without affecting the size of a pixel, positively affecting the inner contrast of characters. Furthermore, the LCD image is flicker-free.

* 11. Student Essay # 2 (please refer to the passage above)

LCD screens are brighter than CRTs, without losing their pixel clarity and character contrast. Not only do LCDs offer less reflection interference, but they are flicker-free, and may reduce some of the visual health risks traditionally experienced with CRTs. It is because of these advantages that LCD screens are gaining popularity on the workplace (Menozzi, Zeller, & Krueger, 2001, p.1)

* 12. Original Passage:

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-on-Avon in April (probably April 23), 1564. His father was a citizen of some prominence who became an alderman and bailiff, but also later suffered financial reverses. Shakespeare presumably attended the Stratford grammar school, where he could have acquired a respectable knowledge of Latin, but he did not proceed to Oxford or Cambridge. There are legends about Shakespeare's youth but no documented facts.

Student Essay # 3:

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. His father was a prominent citizen who suffered financial losses after becoming an alderman and bailiff. Shakespeare may have attended the Stratford grammar school and learned Latin, but he did not go on to Oxford or Cambridge. There are no documented facts about Shakespear's youth so scholars have to rely on legend.

* 13. Student Essay # 4: (please refer to original passage above)

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. His father was an affluent member of the community. At one time a well-know and respected alderman and bailiff, he later lost his financial security. Experts suspect that Shakespeare went to the Stratford grammar school where he probably obtained a command of the Latin language, however, since there are no documented facts about his childhood, scholars rely on rumors and stories believed to be historically accurate. They do know that he did not continue his education at Oxford or Cambridge (Abrams, 1962)
