I exert myself more.

Thank you.

 

B.  Is it the some as the one listed on the company's web site at  http://www.appliedmaterials.com/financial/Stock_Quote_main.html?

 

Yes,it is.

 

C.      If the quotes have different prices, why do you think they are different?

 

It is the same.

But if the quotes have different prices, I think the web pages show quotes for different times, or they just made a mistake.

 

Correct.  The differences are because the times of the quotes are different.  It is rare for them to make a mistake.

 

3.How easy was this lesson for you?

 

  The accounting lesson was about right.

  The English lesson was somewhat hard.

The Getting to and using the linked web pages was about right.

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

I'm waiting for your reply.
