Both the author in the reading passage and the lecturer, who is a part-time buzzer, talk about the "buzzing". Yet their viewpoints contrast with each other. While the author states three controversies of the buzzing, the lecturer thinks otherwise, contending that those statements are misleading.
First of all, while the writer mentions that what buzzing offers is jut incorrect information about the buzzed products, the speaker presents opposing discourse to such a believe, reasoning that buzzers do not advertise the goods and they always tell the truth. Buzzers are also the users that think the product is good.
Secondly, the writer indicates that buzzing could harm the consumers since they may easily accept claims from the buzzers. However, as opposed to the conviction, the speakers argues that instead of listening to the endorsement less critically, most consumers ask a lot about the products, such as the prices and service. If the buzzers are not able to answer those questions, the consumers will not buy.
Thirdly, the spread of mistrust and expectation of dishonesty are written by the writer as the worst effect of buzzing. But, presented by the speaker to diminish the authenticity is the argument that buzzing will generate more trust in the society. Because after the customers purchase the products and have the good experience, they will think that buzzers are trustful.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
In today’s world, it is more important to work quickly and risk making mistakes than to work slowly and make sure that everything is correct.
When it comes to the working pattern in today's world, some people consider it is important to work not so fast and make sure that nothing is wrong. Nonetheless others think otherwise, contending that work quickly even risk making mistakes is better. From my perspective, I doubt the importance of working slowly and ensure things are flawless.
First of all, people need time to do other things as well, therefore it is more essential to work fast to save time. For example, I love to finish my work as soon as possible so that I will have plenty of time left to walk my dog, read a novel and take a hot bath. Nowadays, working is not the only part that people care about, other activities also play important roles in lives. I believe that the quality of life will not be so high if people spend lots of time in the office.
Secondly, because this new generation is so competitive, it is prominent that people should not work so slowly. For instance, in the company, if a group of people always work until midnight and take a great amount of time to accomplish the work, it is likely that they will be fire eventually. Since the managers or bosses focus on the employees' efficiency, people are never allowed to work like snails.
Thirdly, in the present time, new technologies can help people check the mistakes, so people do not have to make sure that everything is correct by themselves. In the past time, it is true that people should do double-check after they finished; however, people do not need to worry about the errors now since the computers are able to offer the assistance.
According to the above statements, people need time not only for work but also other recreation and they have to stand out in this competitive society. In addition, they also can make use of the technological devise. Consequently, I consider that it is more important to work quickly and risk making mistakes.
