Topic discussed: Titan(土衛六)has three unusual features which are difficult to explain. 

Notes

Reading: 

Yes

l 1. Orbit不正常，其他衛星的軌道都是近乎圓形，而它的是偏橢圓(elliptical)

l 2. 兩極有massive depressions, 別的星球是火山爆發造成，而沒證據表明它周圍有火山. 

l 3.別的星球上sand dune的slope方向和風的方向是一致的，而Titan上是相反的。

Lecture: 

No可以解釋

l 1. Titan周圍有很多小行星，軌道交錯，因此互相影響。

l 2. depression形成原因和地球上的類似，rainfall decomposes 石頭，長時間形成坑。

l 3. Titan和地球不一樣，沙子太重，普通的風太弱吹不動，最近一個westward storm比往常的風大10倍，所以能吹動沙子。

2. 大學生可以通過這個project培養社會責任感，緩解社會貧困現象。

3. 其他兩個projects不那么challenging，也沒有很大的社會效應，所以對學生沒有像造房子那么rewarding。

Sample answer

Supporting idea段落

One prominent role college education has to play is to cultivate social responsibility in students. Not until the students are involved in the real-world problems can they realize their duty as the members of the society. They will become aware that the knowledge gained from classes can benefit not only themselves, but the society as well.  Being introduced to the reality that many people with economically challenged background cannot find a place to live, college students will be prompted to think how to create affordable housing, how to eradicate poverty, and how to make the society better.  The housing project does not end in itself. It can go a long way to possibly become a policy addressing poverty.
