Possible answer and keywords;

Thieman (2008) observed that, the access to mass media has expanded thousand fold. Individuals
from the rural area are also given an opportunity to socialize via social networking sites and
blogs.

2. Additionally, many people and animals have died in flash floods as flood also brings a
lot of diseases and infections including military fever, pneumonic plague,
dermatopathia and dysentery.

3. Floodwaters also carry lots of nutrients that are deposited in the plains and farmers love
such soils, as they are perfect for cultivating some kinds of crops.

study of the role of computers in preventing flood. International Journal
of Environment, 29(1), 33-44.

Possible answer and keywords;

Flood also gives benefit to farmers. Floodwaters bring bunches of supplements that are kept in
the fields which are ideal for developing a few sorts of yields (Johri, Williams & Pembridge,
2013).

4. With then utilization of advanced technology, most engineering students believe that
they are able to enrich their ability in accessing information, manipulating data,
creating design, analysing results and storing information.

With then use of cutting edge innovation, most engineering graduates agree that they are able to
improve their capability in getting to data and information, making outline as well as working
with results (Anderson, Schwager & Kerns, 2006).

5. The auto-balancing characteristic of the Hovertrax should help the riders stay balanced.
The hovertrax can travel up to 5 miles (8 km) and/or 30 minutes on a charge, reaching
speeds of up to 5 mph. It only take about an hour to charge the lithium-ion battery from a
standard wall outlet.

Halim, T. (2011). A Hovertrax: The Greatest Innovation. Journal of Engineering

and Human, 3(1), 42-50.

Possible answer and keywords;

The Hovertrax is able to assist riders to stay adjust. It also can go up to 5 miles (8 km) and/or
half hour, speeds of up to 5 mph after its lithium-particle battery has been charged for an hour
(Halim, 2011).

Answer Key
Element Description

Justifying The aim of this report was to recognise the current state of the
purposes/ computer environment and usage, which included the ergonomic
objectives viewpoint.
(1 element)
Reviewing scope/ A questionnaire was sent out to 100 elementary schools selected
method randomly in Yokohama and Kawasaki Cities, from January to March
(1 element) 1998 regarding the use of personal computers by pupils and students.
The survey included the questions that asked how often and in what
environment computers are used, whether any instructions are given
as to their use, children’s working posture, and the effect on health.
Reviewing findings The results show that most schools are slow to develop instructive
(1 element) programs from the environmental or ergonomic point of view.
Explaining So far there are not many children who complain of any serious
Findings symptoms such as pain in the neck, head or shoulders, but a future
(1 element) increase in the number of classes which involve computing, as well as
the widespread popularity of home computers, will surely arouse a
legitimate concern about the health of pupils and students, since they
will spend more and more time operating the devices
Discussing Due to the logistic and manageability factors, the respondents were
limitation randomly selected from Yokohama and Kawasaki Cities only.
(1 element) Therefore, there is still a question on whether similar results will be
obtained with respondents from other cities.

Implication Now that the amount of computer time at home and school is sure to
(1 element) keep increasing, the important thing is to use the equipment in a well-
designed environment, accustomed to human behaviour, physiology
and psychological features, in order to maintain users’ health.
Recommendations It is a matter of urgency that we develop new guidelines based on
(1 element) attention given to the physique and physiology of pupils and student.
