[Summary]
In Korea grade point averages is becoming more and more exalteld.
But in a bizarre twist, the percentage of honor students at the country’s top university has increased by more than 10 percent. It is called 'grade inflation'.
It is caused  “F”-free report cards. As a result, many students having trouble in classes ask their professors for an “F,” rather than “D,” “C,” or even “B.

[Persuasive]
We can learn from it. It is bad to want  to receive a good grade without hard effort.
We should be in satisfuction with the results of our efforts. In our college, there is no F free report cards. So we study hard to get good grade. And it makes we can focus  class well. In the end it is good for ourself.(I mean 'F' free report cards is bad thing.)

[Class] Trip - Solar Plane makes debut with eye in global trip

 Solar Plane makes debut with eye in global trip

Published: 2014-06-03


[Summary]
Using sunlight to power plane is successful. In Switzerland, a plane which powered by sun(solar) is successful test flight(lasting 2 hours and 15 mins). 
Although it can fly only in the Middle East’s low-cloud conditions , but in the future this may be possible global travel using solar airplane.

[Persuasive]
It is a big step up to global trip. Also solar(Eco-friendly material) is helpful to the environment. But that are still lacking. Its speed is limited 46km/h at night because the batteries run down quickly. More research to perfect this technology, it will be best travel vehicles because it fly low, we can see landscape under the plane.
