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.It has been said, Not everything that is learned is contained in books. Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?People always are learning and practicing through their whole lives. From reading words in text book such as toy, car, train etc. , people have the concept and ideas. They further understand the actual meaning of these words by playing toys and riding or driving cars, trains etc.Education (books) and experience are the main two channels for People to gain their knowledge. Each play different roles for people. In my opinion, knowledge from experience is more important than that from books.Experience first can prove if the knowledge form books are true or false. Textbooks are very wonderful in teaching people essential principles, how is the world looks like? what is the basic law of change of people and things? We can learn a lot through primary school, secondary school until university. However, people can only understand the really meaning of those form books and justify them if they are right through practices. A few hundred years ago, people learnt from text book that the earth was flat. However scientists found that was wrong through observations and measurement.The knowledge from experience can improve and advance the world and our society. As books have limitation, they only teach us the what people found in the past. The knowledge from the books are constrained to the certain conditions and environment. For example, mould and tools design for plastics industry, the university course only taught me very simple cases, most knowledge are obtained from various different and plicated cases in my career. There are a lot new inventions and new products which could not be found from textbooks. Our society and world are developed through continuous practices, those knowledge, never found in books, such as internet, ebusiness etc. are all developed through new practices. The truth es from practices and experience, people are continually discovering new things and assessing the creditability of the knowledge written in books. The knowledge from experience help us much more than those from books.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.New factories often bring many good things to a munity, such as jobs and increased prosperity. However, in my opinion, the benefits of having a factory are outweighed by the risks. That is why I oppose the plan to build a factory near my munity. I believe that this city would be harmed by a large factory. In particular, a factory would destroy the quality of the air and water in town. Factories bring smog and pollution. In the long run, the environment will be hurt and people39。t want to see rows of cheaply constructed townhouses. Our quality of life must be considered. I believe that this growth will change our city too much. I love my hometown because it is a safe, small town. It is also easy to travel here. If we must expand to hold new citizens, the small town feel will be gone. I would miss that greatly. A factory would be helpful in some ways. However, I feel that the dangers are greater than the benefits. I cannot support apian to build a factory here, and hope that others feel the same way.If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.If I could change one thing about my hometown I think it would be the fact that there39。t feel connected, they don39。t get to know their neighbors. People e and go a lot here. They change jobs frequently and move on. This means that they don39。t join munity organizations, and they39。t feel it has anything to do with them. They don39。t think the quality of education is important to their lives. They don39。t try to support others around them. They don39。t see them for a few days. They39。s not a lot of munity support for individuals.Neighbors don39。 children are cutting across someone39。s no friendly way of casually mentioning the problem. People immediately act as if it39。s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.Do movies and television affect our behavior? A special concern is whether movies and television make children and society more violent. I believe that movies and television do influence our behavior, both for the better and for the worse.Movies do make people more violent. The more we see violent acts on television, the less sensitive we bee to them: Eventually violence doesn39。t always realize that violence has consequences. Actors can be killed and e back for another movie. Sometimes we confuse that with reality. We forget that killing someone is permanent.Movies and television also influence our behavior because they make us less active. Looking at films is a passive activity. If we watch too much, we bee unhealthy, both mentally and physically.
