In a modern society, people always face the dilemma to choose whether AAA or BBB. This
problem is the much debated one in that it affects everybody in their daily lives. People may
prefer one to another although some may have no opinions about it at all. Before rendering my

It is quite easy for average people to CHOOSE BBB because of the obvious reason that ....It can
be given by a well known example that ....
But at the mean time, although BBB has some advantages, it also has many drawbacks such as ....

CHOOSING BBB. I must admit that people can DO WELL without AAA, but no one can ignore
the added convenience and satisfaction offered by AAA. Such experience will definitely be
helpful in one's later life.
It seems, in so many items, very difficult for us to prefer one to another because all of them have
their advantages and disadvantages to the extent that it is hard to distinguish.
Yet that does not mean they are all the same to me. Which one I prefer depends on my own
experience, life style and emotional concerns. To be frank, I prefer AAA most in my point of
To choose A or choose B is something of a dilemma to the public because they sometimes are
confused by the seemingly good qualities of B, and neglect the genuinely good aspects of A.
[For B, people are often driven to believe that / It is quite easy for average people to CHOOSE B

[Another [disastrous/unfortunate] fact is that / Unfortunately,] the innate quality of A is often
underestimated. Or: What is more, if you notice the invisible benefits of CHOOSING A, you can

from what we have discussed, we may safely come to the conclusion that CHOOSING AAA is a
rather wise decision.
It seems, very difficult for us to prefer one to another because all of them have their advantages

the same to me. Which one I prefer depends on my own experience, life style and emotional
concerns. [As far as I am concerned / According to my personality and fondness/ To be frank], I

People study in college or university for many different reasons. I think the most important reason
is to gain more knowledge and learn more skills. Of course, there are also many other reasons that
people study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one's self-confidence.
These days, most jobs require people who are educated and have good job skills. Therefore, the
people who want a good job have to study hard and at least graduate with a high education.
Furthermore, as technology advances all over the world, more and more education is required of
Some people who study in college or university want to make more friends and increase their
interpersonal skills. They enjoy their lives in university or college and tend to socialize a lot. They
can meet more people who have the similar interests with themselves. They can go to uni ball
after school and make more friends who they trust.
The people who graduate from college seem more confident in our community. These people are
more respected by society. Many people want to be respected and to be important by family,
friends, their bosses, and others in their lives. They find that most of them can confidently talk and
do their jobs as they are more educated. Therefore, most people want to get the confidence
through the university or college study.
In today's society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted. The university and
college study is a good way to achieve this.

In China, more and more people try their best to attend college or university. What are the
reasons that make people long for it?
First of all, in my opinion, the most important reason is to gain competence to live a better life in
the future. Competition of our days has become more and more drastic, and even a very simple
job or low position will attract hundreds of candidates to apply for it. Only those who have a good
education and general knowledge can gain better work. So, we should attend college or university
for better competence.
Second, attending college or university can change our life. For example, to myself, I am a student
from countryside. I am one of the few people who can attend college or university. Most of those
who have not studied in college or university go to work early in a small factory in a small town or
on a farm in their hometown. Just because I have taken higher education, I can get better chances
to study or work in the capital of our country where a lot of people want to go to. Why? Good
education gives me chances to change my life.
The third reason for attending a college is to increase knowledge. Study is a so interesting thing
that it make our life rich and colorful. It expands our eyesight by informing us with lots of new
things what we cannot gain from our common life or experience. On the other hand, by attending
college or university, you can learn the knowledge or skill necessary for your future work.
People attend college or university for various reasons. Some may attend for new experiences,
and others may think about other things. What I have mentioned is just very few of them.

Mr.Taoxingzhi, the most famous educator in China, once said: the biggest misfortune in one’s life
is that one does not receive a uniniversiy education. Needless to say, a university degree often
helps a person achieve his goal with more ease. However, do we attend university just in pursuit
of a degree? Does a university only provide us nothing benefieial besides a paper-made diploma?
As far as I am concerned, we enjoy a university education in the following aspects which
attribulates us to a university education:
Firstly, with the knowledge learned in a university,we will have a deep understanding with our
society. It is ture that genuine knowledge comes from practice, but it can not be denied that
genuine knowledge, tells us how to practise. A thorough study in a college or university, of course,
enables us to realize how the society works and how to cope with certain problems arising from it
in a more efficiently, more skillful way.
Second, an university education usually make it possible that we acquire a decent job. Because of
an accomplishment of a four-year study, it is not difficult for us to find a good job in most cases.
How can we imagine that a graduate majoring in astronomy has to be a vendor in the street!
Undoubtfully, he/she should sit in his/her labortory, making a reseach on aircraft on a
computor.Obviously, a university education assures him/her a decent job.
Last, but not the least, we can help others much better if puttiing what we learn in a university
into use. A university education corrects our values, enhance our skills, and broad our horizons.
With those, we are moe capable of giving a hand to those who are in need of help than before.
“Knowledge is power”.When achieving a degree in a university, we can get a better
understanding of the society, find a decent job in an easy way, and help others better. All of those
are due to the knowledge learned in a university.

People attend a college or a university for the following reasons, to acquire knowledge which is
necessary for a career, to contribute to the society, and to experience life.
Firstly college education is a necessary step for a person who wants to start a career in science
and technology areas. If a student wants to become a scientist, it is important for him to go to a
science school; if he wants to be an engineer, an engineering school is the best place for him.
There is no other place than a college where a student can get sophisticated education in order to
be qualified to become a professional in a specific area.
Secondly, a college education can benefit both the society and the student. By attending college
one can get himself prepared for and contribute to the society, which seems to demand advanced
knowledge more and more. One the other hand, as knowledge plays a very important role in
today’s economy, it has also become the capital and asset of the person who owns it: a college
education can bring wealth not only to the society, but also benefit the individual who processes
In addition, college education is a wonderful experience in one’s life. Only in a college one can be
taught by the finest scholars and meet with the most intelligent people in the nation. Education
can also bring happiness to the student. When a student has conquered a difficult mathematical
problem, he savors the joy which learning has brought to him, and feels that he is the happiest
man in the world.
Of course, learning in a campus does not mean as much for everybody, but it does mean a lot to
me. I was brought up in a knowledge-respecting family. My farther is an engineer and my mother
is a teacher in a primary school. They are both university graduates. My father, being the most
influential person in my life and the son of a poor Chinese farmer, did change the destiny of his
own by learning hard to earn a university degree. Therefore he firmly believes that “knowledge
can change one’s destiny and university is the best place to achieve one’s goal”. Of course this
influenced me. I strongly believe that attending university is the best choice for me. I do not have
a bit of hesitation to attend a university.

Why do people need to attend colleges or universities? Different people have different answers to
this question. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have
new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.
Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the
primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they
can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information
technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having
the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going
to college is the first time they've been away from home by themselves. In addition, this is the first
time they've bad to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their
knowledge of themselves.
Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their
knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will he their last chance for a long time
to learn about something that doesn't relate to their career.
I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have
new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.

Now days, more and more people are trying to attend college or university. Different people do so
for different reasons. Some typical reasons are new experiences, career preparation and increased
knowledge. In my opinion, it is the fast developement, almost explosion, of our world that make
people to consider attending college or university.
People would usually get bored when they focus on one field for a long time. For this reason, they
go to college to pursue experiences in new areas. We often hear that an electrical engineer went
to a university to study art or music. With the new experiences, they expand their ken. Maybe
some good ideas would jump out during their daily work.
As for the young, they attend college for career preparation. Not only could they get knowledge
needed for their future work, they could learn how to think and how to solve questions. The
projects students attended are very like their future work.
Some people, who have been graduated from universities for years, are also planning to go back to
school. Most of them reattend universities to increase their knowledge. Techlogy is developing so
fast that people could not keep up with them unless they keep increasing their knowledge.
All in all, people, who attend college or university, are preparing for their better futures.

College is a place that the students can learn more and new knowledge and experience in it. Of
course, different people have different reason to study in college. For example, some people want
to be to go on a further study after they graduate from the college; some people hope to find a
good job after their studying in the college and also some people wish to exchange their present
situation through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study in the
college for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future life.
First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college.
There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of
new knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student can
learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future work.
and study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society and
contribute to the different fields.
Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in
college, their life often arranged by their parents and their study often arranged by their teachers.
It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in college have
to arrange their life and study by themselves. They have right to arrange their part time, such as
when to get up, when is the sport-time, when to finish the assignment etc. This is very important
experience for students' work and life in the future.
Secondly, studying in the college make students having opportunity to live with other student and
learn how to cooperate with other people. Usually, people often have uncomfortable feeling to
live with a stranger, because they do not know each other and perhaps their habit and personality
are different. But for the long run, it is good for them. They have to cooperate with each other and
solve a lot of problems they will face together. Gradually, they can learn how to care and
understand other people. It is a preparation for students to go to cooperate with other people in
All in all, students not only can learn lots of new knowledge from the books but also can learn
much more necessary experience such as how to arrange time and how to cooperate with other
people. It is ver important for their future work and life.

Today more and more people attend college or university. But why? As a student of a key
university, I want to give my opinion.
Of course, we attend university to increase knowledge. University provides some basic knowledge
for our research or our career in the following years. It provides basic information about the major
we chose, such as what it research in. If you find that you are not interested in that major, u can
change it, till u find one u are interested in. It also provides knowledge for all majors, such as
advanced mathematic, English, physics, basic chemistry. Teacher there can help you to decide
what you do in the future, to enter a graduate school or to take a job. We must do a lot of
experiment during the school years, that makes us quite capable. We visit a factory in the second
year to get a general idea about the work our major do. And we have a internship in the third year
to do the real work.
Then, you can get new experience from university. You can join the student union or join a club.
You can learn a lot from it. First, you can learn how to communicate with the different people.
And u can learn how to organize a meeting or a party.
And also you can prepare for your career. There are lots of programs to let the students be trained
for a job. University runs the program by cooperating with some very large company, some
manager from the company will give us some courses which teach us how to run a company, how
to lead your group to finish the work, how to cope with some problem, and how to be more
confident. And they also tell us which kind of employee they want in the company. These things
are quite useful for us, especially for those who want to get a job after graduation.
Now you know that university is quite useful, but the most important thing it teaches us is not the
knowledge nor the experience, it is how to think and how to learn.

Nowadays, more and more young people attend the universities for different reasons. According
to the survey, the main goal of what most of them do so is for career preparation.
There are many reasons to demonstrate it. The most primary reason is that is that university are
the most suitable spot to absorb knowledge, which mostly determines your career development.
With the development of the society, "knowledge is power" has been a rule: the more knowledge
one possesses, the more easily he succeeds in his career. For instance, it is often reported that
MBA graduates in famous universities, such as Harvard, will acquire high start payment when the
companies employ them for the first time. After several works, abundant working experience and
solid knowledge base will make them further develop in the manager class.
Another reason is that universities will provide one with not only knowledge but also many other
abilities, including communication ability, corporation ability, and independency ability etc, which
are beneficial to future career. At the same time, he can make friends with his schoolmates and
deals with all kinds of people, who often become his colleagues or business partner in the future.
Furthermore, in this way, his view will be widened and abilities will be improved. When he goes
off the campus, he always has stronger competition ability than those who do not go to the
Last but not the least one is that in contrast, history illustrates that people refused by the
universities have few opportunities to succeed in their career development. Because of their low
educational level, most companies would rather employ them as physical workers than mental
workers. in this way, the development of technology and science will fall them into disuse. Such
as in many manufacturing factories now, there are automatic machines as substitute for workers.
In a word, of many reasons for people to go to universities, career preparation has been the most
primary. When education background becomes more important in career development, it will
attract more people to do so for a long period.

There are many people want to go to university or college every year and they decide to do so for
many different reasons. I believe there are three common reasons are to prepare for career,
increase their knowledge and get new experience.
Prepare for career is very important for young people nowadays. In a competitive society, if they
have not a good educational background, they will not get a good opportunity in their career or
even cannot find a job, so college and university can provide them new skills to meet the
requirements of career.
Also, students attend to university or college can increase their knowledge in subjects they
interested, for many people, this is maybe the primary reason to go to college. There are many
excellent professors and experts can give us a plenty of knowledge which including many areas.
For many people this maybe their last chance for a long time to get knowledge that don't relate to
Besides looking for knowledge, some people want to go to college or university because they
decide to live a new life. University can support young people an environment where they can
intercommunicate about many topics such as literature, goal of life, art and emotions which are
hard to talked about after their university lives, so it is a special experience for young people to
live and study in college or university.
All in a word, I prefer increase knowledge and get a special experience to prepare for career in
university because getting good opportunities in career is partly depend on your knowledge and
experiences on diverse areas.

Who teaches you to walk? Who teaches you to speak? It is your parents who teach you to do
these basic things in your life. So don't you think that parents are the best teachers!
Firstly, parents know us very much. Parents give us life, and I think that we will spend large
amount of time with them. So they know our merit and demerit in details. Meanwhile, they will
help us to get rid of our demerit.
Furthermore, parents possessed many experiences. Since they are older than us, they have
experienced many things. Sometimes, they are just like our models. And as the saying goes:
"Example is better than precept." So we will unconsciously copy some of our parents' habits and
styles of behavior, i.e. we can learn many things from them.
Finally, parents will teach us everything. Since schoolteachers can just teach us knowledge from
the books, our parents can teach us everything. For example, I learn knitting, cooking and makeup from my mother, while learn fixing leaky faucet from my father. They are the persons who
love me most, so they will teach me everything without reservations.
Just as the saying goes: "There is no place like home." And I think there is no teacher like our
parents. They are the best teachers in our life.

Some people believe parents maybe a very important teacher for children, but will be taken place
by teacher after children go to school, however, I believe parents always are the best teacher no
matter how many knowledge children have acquired from school, the reasons why I think so go as
First ,children always imitate their parents from birth, so the parents' influence on children is
great. For example, researchers said that parents' expression can influence the growth of their
children' character, if parents always smell and watch their child while he is playing, the child'
confidence will be greater than other child whose parent always leave him alone at home.
Second, parents are also the best teacher for children in emotional area. For example, If a child
feel oppression or feel frustrated in school, he always not talk to his teacher, at this time, parents
can help him and child are also willing to tell his inner feeling to his parents.
Third, although child get many knowledge from teacher, basic skills in his whole life are come
from his parents. For example, our basic language skill, basic realize skill and even basic sport skill
are all acquired from parents. Because of this basic skill parents teach their child, the influence of
parents will follow the child's whole life.
All in a word, the effect parents take on the child's education process is greater than any teachers
in school, they are the best teacher.

Parents influence greatly their children for a lifetime. I think people are molded by two factors,
family and the society that they are in. From birth, humans are influenced by the surrounding
people for their characteristics. Parents take a big role in bringing up children, which affects their
lives for a long time.
In early infanthood, babies are looking to moms and dads to learn basic manners to be accepted in
society. Some of these manners include not running around in restaurants or hitting other kids. As
they grow up, they learn more from parents about social etiquette, which makes them more
suitable to live in society. Children tend to look to their parents for role models knowingly or
Besides, parents can also affect children's study habits. Children of doctors , lawyers, investment
bankers, and other professionals see their mothers and fathers work a lot of time, reading books,
and punching keyboards, even at home. They are showing their children how to study by their
However, parents can also be a bad example for their kids. It is difficult for children who have
abusive parents to lead a normal childhood and is possible that they may become similar to their
abusive parents when they grow up. In this sense, the parents' negative role in shaping the
children's personality cannot be emphasized more.
In conclusion, parents are the best teachers for their children. They leave big marks on their
children's lives and are therefore more influential teachers than any others they may have in their

Who are the best teachers in our life? In my opinion, the first teachers we have in our lives in
most cases are our parents. They teach us to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we
reach "the real world. " More than even the professional teachers that we have in school, parents
are generally the most involved in the development and education of children.
The main reason for my view is that our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives,
which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are most committed and
involved in teaching their children; they have a kind of instinct to sacrifice a part of themselves
for the betterment of their children. They love us and have great patience while passing down
their knowledge to us. They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things. And of
course, implicit learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents' habits
and styles of behavior.
Also, during the second stage of child development, adolescence, parents can still be in the best
position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the
child's friends would be the best teachers. Adolescents are notoriously rebellious in many cultures
and may automatically reject any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was
solely a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in offering their advice. So
in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be rather the partners with their
children. So we can see that being a teacher of growing child become more and more complicated
case as the time passes and many parents are simply not able to meet the increased demands.
On the other hand, I would say that parents are not professional teachers and they tend to be very
biased by their love of their children. So wishing good things and an easy life may prevent
children from maturation. In any case, parents usually can present only one viewpoint of the
world, while good teaching should be based on different attitudes. Thus, when children go to
school and have a great diversity of teachers, they learn much more than their parents could
probably give them. Furthermore, once our parents get older, they become more conservative and
cannot always be objective in regard to modern trends and fashions. Thus we need to take their
advice with caution during that period. However, some kind of intuition which I believe shared
between relatives about what everybody needs and great love which exists in a families still
makes our parents very good teachers and advisers at any time.
In short, while parents are not the ideal teachers, and well-rounded children will generally need a
great diversity of teachers in their lives in order to have a more accurate view of the world,
parents are generally the most committed of all teachers and have the greatest emotional
investment in their children and their future.

Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes, from a period when he hunted for his food
to the present era when man is dependent on preprocessed foods. During this period not only has
man changed his mode of eating but his whole lifestyle as well. In pursuit of more in this
competitive world, man no longer has time as he once had. He is caught in a race against the
clock. A person who finishes more in lesser time is considered more efficient. This pressure to do
more in less time has affected his eating habits as well and, as a result, man no longer has time to
cook food. Early man's only objective was to seek food to sustain him and his family. Nowadays
finding food has taken a back seat to other priorities, such as career and education.
Food is no longer of that importance. This is not an encouraging trend. People are too dependent
on preprocessed or precooked food, which no longer has the freshness it once had. Such foods
loose their mineral and vitamin content and are not as healthy as fresh food. That is why the
number of diseases is also rising. People have also shifted to high calorie content food like French
fries, pizzas, and ice cream, etc., which is causing obesity, fatigue, etc. As man is becoming busy
and too involved in his busy schedule, he has no time even to take care of his own personal needs.
Furthermore, cooking is an art which is dying out. People once enjoyed cooking . It was a means
of eliminating stress and tension. People were once able to relax during this time and reflect on
People may tend to argue that by using precooked and preprocessed food they are efficiently
using time and can use this precious time saved for other purposes. But is it really worth it? This is
a question whose answer can invite much speculation about whether by saving this little time we
are inviting lots of other problems, which could easily be avoided. It is actually making our lives
not simpler but more complicated. We have lost many of the simpler things in our lives, like the
simple acts of selecting our evening meal, preparing it, and enjoying it with our loved ones, and
we are worse off for it.

Nowadays, wherever we turn our gaze, we can see different types of food that are easier to
prepare. For instance, we can buy frozen foods in a supermarket and just prepare it in a couple of
minutes, whereas before it could have taken us maybe hours to prepare this kind of meals. I would
accept that this so-called improvement has changed our lives, but I believe that there are some
drawbacks as well.
It is true that these kinds of food do not involve hard work to prepare, but food that is easy to
prepare generally has some artificial ingredients mixed in it that makes it "easy-to-cook". If we
take time to read the ingredients, we would definitely come across words like preservatives or
artificial flavorings. It was just a couple of days ago that I came across a newspaper article which
stated that someone was poisoned because he ate this type of food. He was hospitalized for almost
Not having to cook has also taken the fun out of cooking. Cooking is an art, but in today's world,
this is no more true. People are so busy with their work that they just rely on this simple foods.
The invention and production of this foods have made people lazy not only for cooking but also
for a well family get-together. It was not like former times when families would sit together and
eat freshly baked food. Instead, they are getting these artificial things with minimal nutrients in
Cooking in the yesteryears was much better than today's. People would spend more time in the
kitchen, preparing the food in the way that they liked it. This brought families closer together and
also contributed to the high quality and nutrition of the food. Granted, people are busier nowadays
and do not have as much time as they did in the past, but I believe that people have forgotten the
importance of healthy, fresh food and of the time a family spends together preparing the food. So,
I would say that having food that is easy to prepare has had many disadvantages.

It can not be doubted that our eating style has encountered a revolutionary change in the last few
decades. It is the change in the type of food that has had the greatest influence. Not only have the
recipes of certain food types have been altered, but also absolutely new ones have been created.
Examples include yet are not restricted to beef hamburgers, potato chips, and cola drinks. All of
these changes contribute to making food preparation as fast and easy as possible. It cannot be
neglected that modern cooking facilities play a dramatic role in this trend.
Some people regard this trend as a spoiler of our lives. Their argument focuses on two main
points. First, many newly emerged types of food have not the essence of a "complete meal" as
defined by nutritionists. To add to the problem, these food types are often served alone. In fact,
there are many medical reports warning people from depending upon such fast meals in their food.
Other reports indicate a high potential of malnutrition among those who are "addicted" to the
common duet of burgers and cola.
Second, the advantage of gathering family members around a meal at home is lost. Fast prepared
food types are usually eaten outside home. With the absence of regular family meetings,
relationships are likely to be weaker.
Others think that fast prepared food types do improve our style of life. This opinion comes
especially from busy people, working wives, and younger people. They believe that we have many
things in life more important than eating. Time spent on food preparation is considered wasted by
them. Wives will have more time to take care of their families' souls not just stomachs. Family
relationships will get stronger. Business men and women will have more time to concentrate on
their business without worrying about food arrangements. In general, people will have a greater
opportunity to take care of their minds and hearts. Reports estimate the time spent on food
arrangements as a large percentage of our lives.
I agree with that food preparation should take its necessary time and care. Otherwise, the time
saved in food preparation can lead to longer times of headache or even of staying in hospitals
suffering from malnutrition.

The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have
changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food
preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly.
The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us.
Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is completely cooked
in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can
use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we
can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.
Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers; we can preserve
a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are
willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be
picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side.
Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If
they don't want to cook a lot of different dishes, it's common now to eat out at restaurants several
times a week.
Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they can use new fat substitutes
and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high
cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits and vegetables fresh, frozen or canned. They're easy
to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you
couldn't imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some
low-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a
low-fat smoothie in the blender!
Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What .new food preparation technology has
given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of
greater variety than ever before in history.

There are two main channels for people to learn knowledge –from books and from experience.
Generally, knowledge gained from books is theoretical, that gained from experience is practical. It
is difficult to answer which is more important to we people. It depends on the phases and events
of our learning. Knowledge learned from books is instructive, which perhaps cannot learn directly
from experience. We often hear thunders and see lightning in the sky, and we can easily find that
lightning will be seen sooner than sound will be heard. According to our experience alone, we
cannot tell why it had happened. But when we learn some physics in textbooks, we will find the
answer clearly that because light travels faster than sound does, it takes less time for light to travel
the same distance than for sound. Therefore, book knowledge can inform us some useful theories
that can give us general ideas and help us understand the real phenomenon better.
In turn, practice knowledge check out the theories gained from books. There is an old Chinese
saying that practice is the only criterion of inspecting the truth. So not all knowledge from books is
credible, even false. When Aristotle wrote in his transcripts that the earth is the center of our
planets, no one doubts this for centuries. However, when Galileo read about it, he did not suspect
it at first, but when he made some observation and research, he found it is not the truth. Then
comes the new theory—Sun center theory.
In our daily life, we can learn much information from practice. To learn swimming, it is useless to
be absorbed in reading skills written in books. Only when you learn it in a swimming pool, can you
make it. There are still a lot of things you must learn from your own experience, such as driving a
car, riding a bicycle, operating a machine. And the most important is that it is often easier learn
knowledge from practice than from books. As far as the average people are concerned, it is
natural to learn from experience. Primitive people learned skills hand by hand which is the way
they were handed down from one generation to another.
Modern people also learn things in practice. In workshops, leading workers teach apprentices
carefully; in activity clubs, teachers teach youngsters to be familiar with their hobbies. It is
obvious that all of things considered knowledge gained from practice is more close and direct than
from the books.
Therefore, two kinds of knowledge has importance. For research people , knowledge from books
is more important, while for our average people, knowledge from practice is more important. As
students, we must first learn knowledge from books well, and at the same time we must have the
good sense to tell from what is right and what is wrong.

We gain our knowledge about the world and our life from two sources: from experience and from
books. These two resources are both important, but which of them is more important?
Knowledge from books forms a very important part of our knowledge structure. In schools and
colleges, we learn knowledge which is fundamental to our future career. We learn knowledge
from books in order to make our contributions to this society in the future. A student learns
mathematic equations and other scientific knowledge and become a scientist or engineer. We will
be illiterate and ignorant without learning knowledge from books. Moreover, we acquire
knowledge about life and the world by reading books, magazines and newspapers. This is also
very important as we cannot experience everything all by ourselves. Therefore books are a very
important source of knowledge.
On the other hand, we can't learn everything from a book. “Experience is the best teacher” is an
old cliché, but I agree with it. The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in
life come from our participation in situations. We learn how to get along with others or how to
have self-respect from our experience, not from books. We cannot learn emotional feelings, such
as love and care, through books; they come from our real life experience. Knowledge from
experience is also a very important supplement to knowledge from books.
Needless to say both learning sources, books and experience, are very important to us. But in my
opinion knowledge from experience is more important, because without knowledge from
experience, it is impossible to get a real understanding of knowledge from books, and how to
apply this knowledge to real world situations.

I have been living in a peace and quiet town for about 10 years. All people around here is so kind,
and the landscape is so beautiful that I love this town very much. Recently I heard news that a
company will set up a new factory near my community. I was shocked and I hold a negative
opinion about this decision.
The main reason why I oppose this plan is that establishing a new factory will cause air pollution.
As we know, a factory will give off a lot of waste air which is harmful to people's health. Even
though the factory will take measurements to purify the air, it can not make the air as clean as
before. It is no doubt that people's health will be affected by the air emitted from the factory.
Another reason is that a factory makes too much noise. My community is always a quiet place and
this is just what I like the most. A factory will cause the town to become too noisy. For example,
every morning, we can be awake from our dreams by the noise of buses which take workers to the
factory. The noise of engines will also influent our temper, and may cause us susceptible to anger,
and easily lose temper.
Furthermore, a strong reason to oppose this idea is that building a factory will destroy the
landscape of this town. Most people living in this town make their living by cultivating and
harvesting crops. The factory is inappropriate with the landscape of the town and it will occupy
the land that is used to farming.
