【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements. Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not e about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books. 【參考譯文】 書本知識與實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn) 獲得知識的來源有很多，其中包括書本、老師，以及實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而每一種都有其優(yōu)點(diǎn)。從書本上及正規(guī)教育中所獲得的知識使我們知道在日常生活中沒有機(jī)會親身去體驗(yàn)的事。通過讀書，我們可以研究世界各地的資料，還可以向不曾謀面的人學(xué)習(xí)。我們也可以培養(yǎng)分析的技巧，并學(xué)習(xí)如何以不同的方式去觀察并理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過讀書，從歷史中獲取教訓(xùn)。如此一來，就不會再重復(fù)別人的錯誤，并且能夠以他人的成就作為我們行動的基礎(chǔ)。 另一方面， 實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)軌蚪o我們更多有用的知識。大家都說從做中學(xué)的效果最好，我也認(rèn)為的確如此，無論一個人成功與否。事實(shí)上，我認(rèn)為犯錯是最好的學(xué)習(xí)方式。此外，如果想要有新的進(jìn)展，就必須要付諸行動。想要創(chuàng)新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實(shí)踐。最后，我們可以將通過讀書所獲得的技巧和見解應(yīng)用于實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中，使得原本有意義的經(jīng)驗(yàn)變得更有意義。不過，除非我們能將書本知識運(yùn)用于實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中，否則書本知識終究仍只是理論，毫無用處。那就是為什么我會認(rèn)為從實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中獲得的知識比從書本中所得到的知識更為重要。 居民住房附近有工廠的利弊 (5) 【題 目】 A pany has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your munity. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your munity. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position. 【范文】 A Factory near the Neighborhood Having a factory near where one lives brings with it both advantages and disadvantages. An obvious advantage is an increase in the number of available jobs, and many people in the munity might find employment in the new factory. The factory would bring money into the munity in other ways as well. It would have to pay some taxes to the local government, and workers might go shopping or eat at a restaurant in the area before or after their shifts. However, the factory would bring some disadvantages, too. Depending on what kind of factory it is, it might pollute the environment and bring down property values. It would be sure to increase traffic in the area, causing congestion and making it unsafe for children to play outside. Finally, the neighborhood would bee a noisy, busy place. For all of these reasons, I would be opposed to the construction of a new factory near my munity. While the employment opportunities would help the munity, I believe it would be better for residents to mute to work and preserve the peace of our neighborhood. 【譯文】 住家附近的工廠 住家附近有工廠既有優(yōu)勢也有弊端。一項(xiàng)明顯的優(yōu)勢是工作機(jī)會會增加。社區(qū)內(nèi)的許多居民可能會在新工廠找到工作。工廠也會以其他方式為社區(qū)帶來收入。它必須上繳給當(dāng)?shù)卣糠侄惤?，工人也可能會在輪班工作的前后在?dāng)?shù)刭徺I東西或在餐廳用餐。 然而，工廠也會帶來某些弊端，這取決于工廠的性質(zhì)。它可能會污染環(huán)境，造成房地產(chǎn)價格下跌。工廠一定會使當(dāng) 地的交通流量增加，導(dǎo)致交通阻塞，使得小孩在外面玩耍變得不安全。最后，社區(qū)附近地區(qū)會變得既熱鬧又嘈雜?；谶@些理由，我反對在社區(qū)附近興建新的工廠。雖然就業(yè)機(jī)會能造福社區(qū)，但我認(rèn)為還是居民乘車上下班，保持社區(qū)附近環(huán)境的安寧比較好。 運(yùn)氣在事業(yè)成功中的作用 (6) 【題目】 When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success. Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position. 【范文】 The Role of Luck in Success It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device. Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right timeperhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success. While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend
