Bực quá, đăng ký account mới phải 1 ngày mới xong, còn account KyPhong thì bị mất pass rồi. Đành Phải mượn tạm cái account của thằng bạn vàng M_RUDKY để trả lời vậy.
To BritneyBritney:

The all I can say is that without a context, everyone has a 50-50 chance of getting the answer right or wrong. Some users are concerned with computer techniques (ie, the ways in which computers are used) and some in technologies (ie, new developments in computer hardware and software). Does the book tell you how to determine which choice to make? Isn't this like asking "KyPhong loves {chocolate ice cream/cherry pie}"? How can you possibly choose between the two? So my response is that the question is a poor one.

No answer is correct. The sentence should be "The man got an electric shock from the faulty light switch". The string of words we get is not a grammatical English sentence. Something is very wrong with the question or with the person who wrote the question, and if you have a teacher who defends the key's answer for this question, then you may rest assured that he or she is not competent in English. Assuming that the sentence is trying to say that "Electricity flowed into the machine from the faulty light switch", we have a logic problem. A light switch turns a light on and off; it does not turn a machine on and off. How can anyone be expected to get the right answer when the question is unintelligible?

The differences between a "device", an "instrument", and a "tool" are these:
a) We do not use the word "tools" for surgical tools like scalpels or hemostats. They are called "intruments". How sophisticated and modern can either one of these instruments be?
b) A "device" is clearly a "machine", like the laser surgery devices used these days to correct myopia. Such devices are also known as "the tools of the trade" (but surgery is not known as a "trade" except in jest) and "instruments" only in the most general sense of the word (eg, a multimeter such as the ones electronics and electrical repair people use to measure voltage and resistance can be called a "device", an "instrument", or a "tool"). With surgery, we use the more sophisticated term, "device". This is a matter of usage and not one that can properly be measured on such a test as the one you gave me.
I hope this explains everything clearly enough.
But there is one more thing. Not everything about any language is 100% clear. There are many points on which experts disagree. Most information about particular instances of grammar and usage is opinion and not fact.
Regards, KYPHONG

Mấy bác chuẩn bị vào Havard hay sao vậy? Tớ học không đến nỗi khó như thế mà cũng được toefl 630 đấy. Còn academy writing thì đỉnh... Xu hường mới của thế giới bây giờ là dùng simple english để tránh misunderstand. Các bác có biết KISS principle không?: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Trong các bài luận văn hoặc presentation tờ mà dùng văn chương phức tạp kiểu này la professor của tớ vứt vào thùng rác liền. Nếu các bác đọc thử những cuốn sách mới dùng cho university thì writing của họ simple lắm. Even Times magazine cũng bắt đầu writing in simple way rồi.
Em britney nè, tiếng Anh em học là Oxford English, học để mà học chứ không có practical in real life đâu...so take it easy.

Hơ, ở cái xứ nhà quê New Zealand mà bác cũng khoe..toàn bộ dân số NZ không bằng dân số ở Q1, SG. Cừu còn nhiều hơn là người... Con trai NZ lớn lên, first girlfriend của tụi nó là cừu đó (ê, dừng có nóng nha, bon NZ nói như vậy đó)
Còn tiếng Anh của tụi nó thì chuối chết...how are you t..o..d..i..e... (today mà nghe cứ như là todie) , now thì nói thành n..e..o... cứ nhừa nhựa và kéo dài cái giọng ra, nghe mà phát ghét.
Còn MBA ở Mỹ thì ra đường quơ được cả nắm vì biz chính của các Uni. ở Mỹ là từ MBA đó...
