summary of the seminar

The seminar which we took yesterday is about crime and surveillance. Crime and privacy are connected by the science and technology. You can notice the sign of CCTV whole around the city, and then you will see a camera is staring at you. Recently the argument about CCTV is a warm issue in UK. In our class, most people think the amount of CCTV in UK is ok but we should not continue to setting more CCTV in public areas. In my opinion, the CCTV is a little bit much but it is not necessary to remove some of them. At the end of the seminar, most people agree with that the biometrics is the most useful way to prevent and beat crime. In my point of veiw, biometrics is much more credible and efficient than to establish the DNA database. What is more, unlike CCTV the biometrics will not break the daily life of people. And it is only can be used to protect people from crime.

Oh Gosh! The summary is losed!

The seminar summary which I have just writen is losed. I must write it again. T_T.....

relative clause

For me, relative clause is one of the most difficult part of grammar. There are tow point which I think is difficult for me. One is the difference between 'which' and 'that' and the other is how to distinguish the non-defining and defining relative clause.After the class and homework, I can distinguish it easily. If the relative clause been removed and the sentence can express the meaning clearly, it is the non-defining. For instance,There was only one park in this town. Someone has built over it. We used to play in the park when we were kids. So we can write a sentencs as 'The local park, where we palyed as kids, has been built over'. Because there is only one park in this town, we can understand exactly which park has been built over.
