         Apple Company has made different laptops with good options and totally different operating system than other laptops like Toshiba, Dell, IBM, LG, Acer and another new companies for laptops just now coming in the market. In this argument I will talk about that the apple laptops are better in software and strong in protect your personal files.

Firstly, MAC laptops were made with good materials than other laptops, which is aluminum metal, also the design of the laptop looks like its simply designed and all the Apple laptops has the same design but different sizes and names, it has a skinny profile, an easy way of carrying it around, the full-sized keyboard and screen and the slick Mac OS X Leopard operating system. Moreover, MAC laptops characterized in faster while using the Internet and easy to move from one tap (site) to another. Additionally, it is protected against viruses that are harmful for your files, better than other laptops and safer like, for example Windows software. Therefore, MAC laptops are completely different software and different programs. Besides Apple laptops have an operating system that helps to protect the laptop from anyone who wants to hack your files, which means Apple laptops are strong to be hacked.

Exercise #6

ARGUMENT 1

The following are the basic factors of an argument:

·       A position or a point of view

·      An attempt to persuade others to accept that point of view

·       Reasons given to support that point of view.

·      Conclusion

Read the following passage and identify the following:

Main argument:

• Pregnant women and people with poor immunity can be affected by cats in the house.

Reasons that support the argument:

• If you kept a cat in the house with a pregnant woman the unborn child inside her can be affected or damaged.

• Even if they are born and they are drinking breast milk can be affect like losing their eyesight or their movement ability.

Conclusion:

• In conclusion there no chance of knowing if your cat is affecting you or it has a serious risk.

It is important that pregnant women and those with a pure immune systems become aware of the potential risks posed by cat. Many of us keep cats as house pets without realizing the dangers they may be harboring. Cats are hosts to infectious protozoa that cause disease in mammals such as humans. Adult humans rarely showed signs of significant disease if they become infected. However, if pregnant women become infected, the foetus can become infected by parasites and suffer serious congenital damage. In the worst cases, infants may lose their eyesight and acquire motor deficits. In people with poor immune systems or AIDS protozoa can cause seizure and death. The symptoms of the disease are not evident in cats so there is no way of knowing if a particular cat is at risk.
