Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science.
這個題目是講主流和非主流的關係，提的方面是科學領域內。但是這個題目裏面我自認爲的一個問題是，speaker把astrology，fortune-telling，psychic，和paranormal pursuits也歸結爲科學的範疇內了，但這些都是我們通常成爲的僞科學的幾個典型方面。
這個題目，目前我沒有想到什麼好的方面來支持這個speaker的正確性。希望有持支持觀點的.朋友來說說你自己的看法僞科學的相關釋義附在點評最後處
This statement actually consists of two claims: that non-mainstream areas of inquiry are vital in satisfying human needs, and that these areas are therefore vital to society. I concede that astrology, fortune- telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits respond to certain basic human needs.
乾淨利索的分析了題目，但是個人認爲還不是分析的很透徹。
However, in my view the potential harm they can inflict on their participants and on society far outweighs their psychological benefits.
自己觀點出來了，反對。是一個讓步的關係，先承認了是有此方面的作用，用了however來了個轉折給從更大的方面給否了。
