Q1. Empirical research is based on observed and measured phenomena and derives knowledge from actual experience rather than from theory or belief. To answer the readers’ typical questions about empirical research reports, writers use a superstructure that has the following elements:

1. Introduction
2. Objectives of research
3. Methods
4. Results
5. Discussion
6. Conclusions
7. Recommendation

 
Keeping in view the superstructure elements of an empirical research report, choose the correct superstructure element from the given list and write it down against each question in the following table.                                                                                             
 

 
Q2. Your company has won a proposal to open up a cafeteria in Virtual University of Pakistan’s premises. Now, in order to gain success and cater the needs of the students, you need to know the current trends of food among students and faculty members. Keeping in view the above scenario, write down the methodology section of the empirical research report.  
                                                                                
Methodology:
The students are knowledgeable that consuming fast food, soda, and processed food are unhealthy and they contain additives. They indicated strong agreement to keep themselves hydrated and choosing food because of taste preference. Even though majority admitted eating fresh fruits, a significant number consume processed food such as chips, cookies, and cereal based on convenience. Smartphone resources, vending machine use, and drinking soda were their least frequently used habits.
It is inevitable that university students face a new environment for meal preparation, planning, and eating as they transition to their university life. Even though many university-aged students are aware of the importance of meeting nutritional values, their knowledge and attitude might hinder them from changing their behavior. Many other factors come in to play in their decision-making, however, the university’ knowledge on nutrition does not always lead to healthy food choices. Stockton and Baker discovered university students do understand that consuming fast food can lead to disease; however, their knowledge was not a factor that influenced their food choices.
Interestingly, Stockton and Baker found that university students did not think the harm from fast food was related to calories but rather harmful chemicals and additives. The main concern the students had was not the number of calories they were taking, but the additives to their food. Also, the male university students consumed more fast food than female university students. Students thought that hamburgers were not harmful to their health.
Various poor eating habits have been noted among college groups in many recent studies. University students tended to select food according to convenience, taste, time, and price rather than nutritional values. Many college students tended to choose quick and tasty options, which were usually available through vending machines.
Students have a fair knowledge of nutritional requirements for health; however, food choices they make are not necessarily healthy. Convenience and taste of food were priority.

That is an interesting comparison and I have to agree. I have been in many homes where books are not displayed. Some rooms are beautifully decorated but the absence of books makes them seem cold and lifeless. Books add color and warmth to any setting. By studying books in a room, it is possible to learn a great deal about the people who live there.
Are they interested in travel, philosophy, education, medicine, self-improvement and so on? I believe there is a book about any subject that interests you and that knowledge is priceless. Books offer escape, a wonderful way to enter the world of amazing characters or study the lives of real people.
Books with interesting themes and plots are fascinating. Books filled with photographs or art are beautiful and the opportunity to view these without going outside your home is wonderful. Yes, I am passionate about books and I cannot imagine life without them.
