Agenda Conversation Starter Review: too much, too many, enough

and not enough Grammar: Past Continuous Review: Describing Charts

Conversation Starter 130A Nowadays, most people would say that

computers are very important in education and for discovering new things. However, in  the past, many scientists discovered a lot of things without computers or other devices. A lot of doctors and architects do the same work as before, but now with the new apparatuses (machines) they have. Do you think that, without using computers, we can discover the world more?                                                                           (Abdulaziz Alqahtani, Forensic Science)
