He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

your favorite place to go.
Sample Response:
I love going to the beach on weekends. My house is a five-minute walk from the
beach so it is very convenient to go there. I live going there because it helps me
relax. Sitting by the shore and hearing the waves makes me feel rested from my
busy work schedule. Further, the beach gives me an opportunity to exercise. I can
go swimming and even run along the beach.

11. Sample Question:
Some students study for classes individually. Others study in groups. Which
method of studying do you think is better for students, and why?
Sample Response
Personally, I would rather have students study individually than in groups. The first
reason is that students can focus well. It is difficult to concentrate on studying
when other people are around or discussing with you. Another reason is that
students can study at anytime that they want. When you are in a group, you have
to consider their schedules and meet on everyone’s common break time. When
you study alone, you can do it whenever you want.

13. Sample Question:
Do you agree or disagree. Students should not be allowed cell phones in school?
Sample Response:
Personally, I strongly disagree with the notion that students should not be allowed
to bring cell phones in school.
I say this because having a cell phone is the easiest way to communicate with
your family. With a cellphone, you can easily contact your parents if you are
coming home late or stranded somewhere.
Another reason is that cell phones are important for one’s security. Nowadays,
crimes are increasing. Hence, with a cell phone, we can easily call the police or
dial 911 on emergencies.

The university announces that it will be increasing its tuition to cover costs for new
construction and purchase of new equipment. The man thinks that the increase in
tuition isn’t such a bad thing. First of all, the increase isn’t that much. It’s only 5%
for each year. The man thinks that increase isn’t unreasonable. He explains that
the money from the increase will be used to help improve the campus. When the
man arrived at this university, he said the library and computer lab were under
construction. That was three years ago and they still aren’t finished. With this new
money, the man thinks the university’s projects will all be finished and the new
library and computer lab will be really nice. The man also says that he won’t have

is going to graduate soon. But, he is a little

Animals that live in herds, like horses, are going to be easier to domesticate than
animals that live alone. Animals that live in herds that have leaders are easy to
domesticate. The horse has a leader of its herd. All the other horses follow that one
leader horse. Being willing to follow a leader is good because the human can
substitute for that leader. A bear is not easy to tame, or domesticate. It isn’t a social
animal that lives in herds, and bears mark their territory. If one bear finds another
bear in its territory, they might fight. It is hard to tame animals that have their own
territory.

Internet marketing has greatly affected the advertising industry in just a short
amount of time. In only a few years, online advertising has become a billion dollar
industry. Many businesses are allocating more and more money from traditional
marketing, like TV commercials or newspaper ads, to advertising on the Internet.
More and more companies are shifting or focusing on their online components.
The website “ebay.com” has become an incredibly popular auction site. Now,
many people are closing up their physical stores and selling all their merchandise
