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
score: 8分
some people think reading shall be chosen. because some books are good to human beings and some books are harmful to people.
some people think that men should read books widely. because wide reading can help man get much knowledge. and man can use it to change the world.
it is my point that reading must be selectively. because reading is important to man. some books can help man but some books can lead some people to crime. it can be seen in the newspapers and watched on tv. we can make full use of some good books and gain more useful knowledge. it can make our life more beautiful. we must give up those unhelpful books. they are not good to us. reading them is wasting time and money. so reading selectively is an important part in reading.

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.（承）

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.
註：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.
註：1. "people, who……,"應去掉逗號，改為限定性定語從句。
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（閃光點辭彙）
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.
註：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"聖經"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.
範文 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.
註：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.
註：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.
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 use that determines its value to society.
範文 traveling
people who like traveling have their reasons. they maintain that traveling 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 possibly have.
註：geographical and historical 押尾韻，如：押頭韻 clean & clear
those who dislike traveling have their reasons. they would argue that traveling 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, traveling does more good than harm. if your finance and health permit, you might as well do some traveling 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.
註：1. in practice = i
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
