Summary Reader + Response Draft 3

  According to Kok in the article, ”Go-Ahead Singapore rolls out a 6-month trial of public buses with solar panels” (2021), which will be running ultra-thin solar panels on buses in a six-month trial. The 1.6mm-thick, flexible, and shatterproof panels are placed on the roof of two Man A22 euro 6 diesel-powered buses. The use of panels is expected to save 1400 litres of fuel. This is equivalent to 3-4% of fuel which translates to 3.7 tonnes of reduction in carbon emissions. These figures are based on data collected from a trial in Southampton. The trial will also assess the effectiveness of the panels.  According to Kok, due to Singapore’s tropical climate, the panels are expected to produce exceptional results. This will result in a greener and more efficient bus. Two buses have been qualified thus far and can be used on public road trials. The panels are also three times thinner than regular ones, making them ultra-lightweight. Kok concluded that Go-Ahead reckoned to recover the cost

The soul of communication

According to this excerpt, “The Soul of Communication”, I realized that effective communication and critical thinking are essential skills in the future workplace.   Everyone in the company should have this common value to work effectively to create a good workplace environment. It is necessary to prevent miscommunication, disputes, and conflicts between parties.   This ensures that only accurate, unbiased information is conveyed to its relevant parties. Effective communication is the ability to convey truthful information to others. Poor communication will lead to misunderstanding, and it might even ruin relationships with others. As misunderstandings or doubts in the business world, especially important parties like stakeholders make major decisions based on the information provided to them. Thus, any error messages conveyed to them will incur huge losses as shown in the article. Critical thinking is another irreplaceable skill in the workforce. It differentiates individuals from o
