　　Reading Selectively Or Extensively?

　　Outline: 1. 有人認為讀書要有選擇2. 有人認為應當博覽群書 3. 我的想法

　　How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view.

　　Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are published. It is impossible for us to read all the books. What’s more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldn’t read them. Since we can’t read all the books and we shouldn’t read bad books, we must read selectively.

　　But others may not agree, they emphasize that today's society is not what it was. If one man has many kinds of knowledge, he will have more chances to succeed. If a man knows much in one field but knows nothing in other fields, he may be useless. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we must read extensively.

　　Who’s right? I think both of them have something right. But I think we should read extensively first. We should read books in many fields, and read selectively in one field.

　　Score: 11分

　　When it comes to reading, some people think that reading selectively is a good way, but some other people do not agree with them, they think that reading extensively is better.

　　注：結構非常好，可以套用。

　　Those people, who think that reading selectively is better, believe that good books are as many as bad books. Those good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while those bad books can only lead us to the wrong way. So, they suggest that we should only choose the good books to read and never touch the bad books.

　　注：1.“people, who...,”應去掉逗號，改為限制性定語從句。

　　2. as many as bad books 改為 as many as bad ones

　　3. lead us to the wrong way 改為 lead sb. astray

　　4. they suggest that = they think that

　　5. touch 碰(閃光點詞匯：如教材P7：shouldering the responsibility of doing sth. 肩負起責任)

　　But, the other people, who hold that reading extensively is better, think that one kind of books can only give us one aspect of knowledge. Even the best book only contains one field of information. So, they can easily come to the conclusion that “to know more, to read more”. So they believe that reading extensively is better.

　　注：1. hold 認為 同樣表示“think”的詞還有argue, emphasize, believe, suggest, claim, insist, maintain, agree, hold

　　2. the best book 在西方國家是“圣經(jīng)”的意思

　　3. to know more, to read more 錯誤，中式英語

　　To my point, we should choose good books to read and read good books as many as possible. By this way, we can increase the quality and quantity of reading.

　　范文22. Is Television a Blessing or a Curse?

　　Now, it is generally accepted that television plays an important part in people’s lives. But, there is an ongoing heated discussion as to whether television is a blessing or a curse.

　　注：it is generally accepted that 人們通常認為

　　As is often pointed out by some people, television keeps one better informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in politics and science, and offers an endless series of programs which are both instructive and stimulating. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one’s room.

　　注：1. As is often pointed out by some people = Some people think that

　　2. “使……”不用make，而用keep, allow, offer

　　However, other people insist that television is a curse rather than a blessing. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. They are now so used to getting their information, education and entertainment from television that their literacy as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar commercials and indecent programs may cultivate their bad tastes, distort their viewpoints towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be corrupted.

　　In summary, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one thing is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determines its value to society.

　　范文5. Travelling

　　People who like travelling have their reasons. They maintain that travelling can help them expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. They go on to point out that touring will provide more chance for them to enjoy food and try on clothes that they otherwise cannot possible have.

　　注：geographical and historical 押尾韻，如：押頭韻 clear & clean

　　Those who dislike travelling have their reasons. They would argue that travelling means a considerable amount of money and energy. For example, traffic and accommodation require money and walking while seeing sights often tires you.

　　In practice, travelling does more good than harm. If your finance and health permit, you might as well do some travelling from time to time. It will at least enable you to get familiar with people and things that you will probably grow to like and love.

　　注：1. in practice = I think 2. does more good than harm 好處比壞處多，其他表達方法：be superior to/ inferior to 比如：the advantages are superior to the disadvantages 3. enable 使
