【正文】 learn. We learn from our parents, from our teachers in school and from our friends. All of these methods of learning have their advantages, but the one that is most effective for me is to learn by doing. One reason I prefer to learn by doing is because I believe that experience is the best teacher. Knowledge that I gain through experience is the knowledge that I remember best. A second reason is that practical knowledge is often more useful than theoretical knowledge when dealing with problems in everyday life. Third, I can learn from the process itself. Even when I make mistakes, I can learn something from them. Finally, in this waylearning by doing allows me to make my own discoveries. In conclusion, learning through experience is the best method for me because I can acquire practical knowledge and remember my lessons well. In addition, the knowledge I gain is not only meaningful, but also wider than what I can get from other methods of learning. Therefore, I will continue to try to learn as much as possible by doing things myself. essential [i5senFEl] 本質(zhì)的，基本的 advantage [Ed5vB:ntidV] 優(yōu)勢(shì)，有利條件 meaningful [5mi:niNful] 意味深長(zhǎng)的 deal with: 發(fā)落；經(jīng)辦；經(jīng)手；應(yīng)付 in addition: 再加 , 加以，此外 15選修課程 【中文提示】 ★ 作者觀點(diǎn)，選修課程有益 ★ 能發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生的天分與興趣 ★ 激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)動(dòng)力 ★ 使學(xué)生得到更全面的教育 The requirements of school systems differ from place to place. In some high schools, students follow a strict program of study, while in others they have the freedom to choose some of their courses. I believe that it would be beneficial for all students to be able to choose some of their courses. One reason is that choosing from a variety of courses would allow students to explore new areas of study. They may discover a new talent or interest and broaden their horizons. Another reason is that when students choose their own courses they take more responsibility for them and really try to do well. They will be more motivated to learn the material they want to learn. A final reason is that making such choices in high school will help prepare the students for their university lives. In conclusion, it is my belief that students benefit from being able to choose courses they are interested in. Of course, they shall still take some required subjects, but the addition of elective courses would enable them to receive a more wellrounded education. Furthermore, they might be fortunate enough to discover a lifelong interest at an early age. beneficial [beni5fiFEl] 有益的 talent [5tAlEnt] 天資，天賦 responsibility [ris7pCnsE5biliti] 責(zé)任，職責(zé) motivated [5mEutiveitid] 有動(dòng)機(jī)的 wellrounded 全面的綜合發(fā)展；均衡的 differ from: 不同于；和??不同；和??意見不一致 be able to: 能夠 16校園情侶 【中文提示】 ★ 校園里情侶出雙入對(duì) ★ 戀愛讓人成熟 ★ 引起的負(fù)面影響 Have you ever noticed those pairs of young lovers on campus who dine together, go to the reading room together and depart unwillingly in front of the dorm building? They range from age 17 to 22. Far from home and alone, seeking friendship, love and understanding, the boys and girls easily find fort and appreciation in each other. On the one hand, love really does good to the young39。s university students, tuition fees are being higher and higher. If they can make achievements in study in the university and find a satisfactory job afterwards, it will not be a big problem. Weighing the pros and cons of such a new trend, we can naturally e to the conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only urges students to work hard, but also prepares them for the ing petition when they enter real society. phenomenon [fi5nCminEn] 現(xiàn)象 efficient [i5fiFEnt] 有效率的，能干的 tuition fee 學(xué)費(fèi) pros and cons 贊成與反對(duì) at the same time: adv. 同時(shí)，一齊 on the whole: adv. 大體上，總的來(lái)看 12 快速做決定 【中文提示】 ★ 人的一生當(dāng)中要做很多決定 ★ 有人認(rèn)為倉(cāng)促作決 定有錯(cuò) ★ 作者認(rèn)為，快速?zèng)Q定是最好的 ★ 偶爾快速?zèng)Q定，不一定總是錯(cuò)的 Everyone must make many decisions every day of their life. They range from the trivialtea or coffee for breakfastto issues of lifechanging importance, such as whom to marry. Some people make decisions quickly, while others take as much time as possible to consider all their options. They tend to think that quick decisions are always wrong, but I disagree. As a matter of fact, quick decisions are sometimes the best ones. When faced with a difficult choice, it is often our first instinct that is the best. Moreover, when we think too long about a decision we may bee confused. And if we worry too much we may bee so anxious that we are unable to make any decision at all. Last but not least, some decisions are simply too trivial to spend any time worrying about. Long consideration does not guarantee that the choice we make will be the right one, and sometimes too much deliberation can even lead us astray. Therefore, I believe it is all right to make a quick decision now and then, it won39。s need and my personal ambition. I believe that an able man should face challenges boldly and not be afraid of hardship. witness [5witnis] 目睹，見證 exploitation [7eksplCi5teiFEn] 開發(fā) unprecedented [Qn5presidEntid] 前所未有的，空前的 newer [5nju:7kQmE] 新移民 whereas [(h)wZEr5Az] 然 而，反之 boldly 勇敢地，大膽地 engage in: 參加；從事 point of view: n. 觀點(diǎn)；意見 8 電腦游戲 【中文提示】 ★ 電腦游戲的弊端：影響學(xué)業(yè)；逃課 ★ 原因：電腦游戲推層出新；學(xué)生缺乏自控能力；老師監(jiān)管不夠 ★ 解決方法：環(huán)境；實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想；利用媒體宣傳 More and more college students bee indulge in puter games.
