How to get the point and attitude of this sentence?
To the extent that it foresaw the effect the internet would have on society, what makes the Frankfurt School - an early 20th century school of thought concerned with how rampant consumerism harms the self - suspect is not so much that it explodes much of what has sometimes proven to be a symbiotic relationship between our "real selves" and our "digital selves" as that it imagines a world so positively dystopian that it becomes but a caricature of the times in which we live.

What do these words or phrases mean in this sentence?
One of the main charges leveled against The Great Gatsby is that it is populated with fake, hollow characters. While this assertion carries some truth, it misses much of what Fitzgerald set out to do in the novel, and the literary aesthetic necessary to pull it off. The 1920's flappers were themselves playing a part that did not allow for much depth. Even the main character, Jay Gatsby, [[[[ at ]]]] his seeming most [[[[ confessional ]]]] inhabits a role he has artfully crafted. Perforce, Fitzgerald created many characters who were not [[[[ wrestling with existential doubts ]]]] but who served as a backdrop for a time and a place.

Can you explain the meaning of the sentence in easy English?
"the scope of the entire work is deceptive; the 120-page translation of the well-known classic makes for a brisk jaunt, yet it is, in a sense, largely preludial to the magisterial commentary, which accounts for well over 80% of the text found in the work."

Topic: technology products
The update of technology products is increasingly frequent, which on one the hand benefits modern citizens by renewing their working and living tools and providing more convenience, on the other hand, adds to people's financial burden as they are persuaded into purchasing new versions of a product. When it comes to the consideration that if it is better to buy the product immediately after it comes into the market or waiting for a while before taking actions, from my point of view, the latter one is more advisable.
First of all, paying attention to reports of user experience of the new technology product while waiting for a while after its release, we can evaluate the product more carefully and thus stand a better chance to save the money for a product with more stable performance and useful functions. Every time I want to change a technology product, such as a mobile phone or a computer, instead of selecting from the latest products, I prefer to make comparison among several products, which is just behind the frontier, from different companies. I can always find much information and comments about them on the internet, which greatly assists me to make decisions. On the contrary, buying the latest products often worries me because I can learn little about it and risk wasting money.
In addition, we can make a better deal buying the most cost-effective product after its price goes down since the price of technology products usually drops drastically when comparable products of other companies come out or new versions of the product are released. Latest products are usually more expensive than they actually deserve, not only because they represent the latest technology or the fanciest designs, but also because it is a good opportunity for companies to take advantage of people's nature of curiosity and desire to stand out to make more profits. My father is interested in photography. When he thought twice over which camera to buy, he valued more on its economic efficiency and made the best deal. As far as I'm concerned, he is a good example for us to follow.

Writing practice: Archaeology
From some archeologists' point of view, the financial support for archaeological research is inadequate. However, according to the professor, the new guideline implemented in 1990 has solved the three problems mentioned in the reading.
First, it is regulated that any construction sites should be inspected for possible archaeological interests before it is used for new constructions. The company, along with government officers and archaeologists must make plans to preserve the historical relics and appropriately make them into documents before any building construction.
Second, archaeological work of the construction site should be paid by the company. In this way, for the government, the financial burden is relieved, and for archaeologists, they will have more financial support to do research in a larger range.
Finally, the guideline, involving multiple working processes in the construction project and archaeological discovery, has led to a rise of job opportunities, since people are needed in the examination of construction sites, planning and execution of preservation, and various research work such as collecting and analyzing data and writing reports. As the result of the increased job opportunities, more people have become professional archaeologists in Britain.

Does book and movie preference reflect a person's personality?
It is believed that the types of books and movies a person likes reflect their personality and values, so we can learn a lot about another person from the books and movies they like. However, from my perspective, the deduction is not very reliable. We can surely know something about a person from their book and movie preference, but this knowledge is limited and can be arbitrary and unilateral.
We are not likely to know the reason why a person likes a certain type of books or movies. It is what the person thinks of the book or movie and why they like or hate it that show their attitudes and thoughts, while the type itself is superficial. For instance, many people like to watch comedy. Some like it because of the hilarious lines, exaggerating acting, and dramatic plots. Others consider more about the way that the movie carries out a contrast between controversial social issues and fantastic humor. Not only they will be amused by the movie, but also will they savor the bitter flavor of the mirth. In this example, the same comedy they may enjoy, their mental activities can differ greatly. Whats more, even if we know the reason why they like the books and movies, we merely know their preference and inclination. To learn more about a person, we should get to know a lot more aspects of them, such as their personal experience, education level, and family conditions.
Instead of matching a person's feature with their book and movie preference, we should get to know a person from real life communication and interaction.
Thank you!

Taking a Gap Year
1、 Those who hold the opinion that students should take a gap year insist that, on the one hand, a year of break from the intense learning revitalizes their enthusiasm for study, and on the other hand, working and traveling will enrich their experience and broaden their horizons.
2、Making plans for a gap year must includes consideration in many respects, such as if the part-time job is conducive to their future career, what else they can get beside having fun while traveling, and how they can be motivated to achieve their original goals of the year. Not many students can be definite about all these questions.
3、Unfortunately, only a small number of high school graduates are clear about what they should do in the gap year and have the self-discipline to achieve the goal.
4、Instead of spending the time meaningfully, they are more likely to idle about and achieve nothing.
5、Working, traveling, and study are completely different states of life, and it will never be easy to adjust the pace of life and study.
6、Many companies only employ due-time graduates because they assume that the delaying in graduation is somewhat a sign of lack of ability or diligence.
7、In conclusion, taking a year to work or travel before going to college distracts students from the optimal state of study, and it will be difficult for them to catch up with college peers after going back to school. Plus high school graduates do not have clear plans.
Thank you!
