Chapter 1 "They Say" Exercises
1. a. Some scientists suggest that there are dangerous levels of Chemical X in the Ohio groundwater.
b. A number of readers view this novel to have certain flaws.
c. A number of people have recently suggested that football is boring.
d. It has become common today to say male students often dominate class discussions.
e. A number of critics suggest the film is really about the problems of romantic relationships.
f. Some students fear that templates like the ones in this book will stile their creativity.
2. If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: people actually think they can talk to and carry on understanding conversations with their pets. Isn’t that like the dead coming back to life? Whatever happened to the physically impossible?
I happen to sympathize with these so called dog communicators, though, perhaps because I myself am a dog owner and lover.

I really enjoyed your example for part 2 because I'm a dog owner and lover as well. You also used terms like "suggest" instead of "said" in part 1, which seems more believable. The only thing that I can suggest you do is to try different introduction templates besides "Some (insert category of people)..." and "A number of..." since you mentioned these more than once. In that way when you carry these templates into future papers, you won't have a lot of repetition.
