Some
people
believe
that
attending
a
college
or
university
in
a
foreign
country
has
many
advantages. They think that
attending a college or university abroad can help
them learn more than
they can from
universities in their own country, especially when
they go to a developed country
where
they can catch up with the pace of scientific and
technical advance of the world from that
country' s modern lab facilities. In
addition, they can pick up the latest developments
of the living
language
there
more
quickly,
develop
their
ability
of
coping
with
the
routine
matters
such
as
finding
a
part- time
job,
renting
a
house
and helping
with
the
house
work,
and
learn
many
new
things to widen their views and broaden
their minds.
But some people don't agree to it. They think that attending a college or university in foreign
country also has many disadvantages and
the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. They
hold
that students studying in a
foreign country will have more difficulties in
both life and study. The
most serious
problem is the language barriers. They have to
spend much time learning a foreign
language and even if they have learned
the language, they still can' t understand
thoroughly what
the
foreigners
and
teachers
say
just
because
of
the
unfamiliar
culture
background
and
social
customs. So ff
they are not persons full of courage, flexibility,
and determination, they are most
likely
to fail and learn nothing eventually. Besides,
since costs and expenditure are much higher
than those in their native country,
most overseas students have to work for a living,
and will find it
impossible for them to
pay all attention to studying. So it is of benefit
to them if they study in their
own
country.
The above two viewpoints, I should say, are all reasonable in some respects. But I support the
first
kind of people. I think people should attend a
college or university in a foreign country ff they
can. In this way they can learn not
only the useful knowledge of science but also the
culture and
Customs of other nations.
Besides, they can learn some new ideas and, when they come back, bring in some fresh air in
our way of thinking
and promote the development of our country. If
nobody went to study abroad
because of
the disadvantages, the development of our country
would be slower.

It has been said,
knowledge gained from experience with
knowledge gained from books. In
your opinion, which
source is more
important? Why?
【范文】
Book Knowledge vs Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical
experience,
and
each
has
its
own
advantages.
The
knowledge
we
gain
from
books
and
formal
education
enables us to learn about things that we have no
opportunity to experience in daily life.
We can study all the places in the
world and learn from people we will never meet in
our lifetime,
just 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
come
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.

书本知识与实际经验
获得知识的来源有很多，其中包括 书本、老师，以及实际经验，而每一种都有其优点。
从书本上及正规教育中所获得的知识
使我们知道在日常生活中没有机会亲身去体验的事。
通
过读书，
我们可以研究世界各地的资料，
还可以向不曾谋面的人学习。
我们也可以培 养分析
的技巧，并学习如何以不同的方式去观察并理解周围的世界。
此外 ，我们可以通过读书，从
历史中获取教训。
如此一来，
就 不会再重复别人的错误，
并且能够以他人的成就作为我们行
动的基础。<
/p>
另一方面，
实际经验能够给我们更多有用的知识。
大家都说从做中学的效 果最好，
我也
认为的确如此，无论一个人成功与否。事实上，我认为犯错
是最好的学习方式。此外，如果
想要有新的进展，
就必须要付诸行动。< /p>
想要创新，
只靠阅读是不够的，
必须要去实践。
最后 ，
我们可以将通过读书所获得的技巧和见解应用于实际经验中，
使得原本 有意义的经验变得更
有意义。不过，除非我们能将书本知识运用于实际经验中，否则书本
知识终究仍只是理论，
毫无用处。
那就是为什么我会认为从实际经验中获 得的知识比从书本中所得到的知识更为重
要。
【题目】
A
company
has
announced
that
it
wishes
to
build
a
large
factory
near
your
community.
Discuss
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
this
new
influence
on
your
community.
Do
you
support or oppose the factory? Explain
your position.
【范文】
A Factory near the Neighborhood
Having a factory nearswheresone 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
community might
find employment in the new factory. The factory
would bring money into the
community 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.
