　　Who’s right? I think both of them have something right. But I think we should read extensively first. We should read books in many fields, and read selectively in one field.(合)

　　Score: 11分

　　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.

　　注：结构非常好，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.

　　注：1.“people, who...,”应去掉逗号，改为限制性定语从句。

　　2. as many as bad books 改为 as many as bad ones

　　3. lead us to the wrong way 改为 lead sb. astray

　　4. they suggest that = they think that

　　5. touch 碰(闪光点词汇：如教材P7：shouldering the responsibility of doing sth. 肩负起责任)

　　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.

　　注：1. hold 认为 同样表示“think”的词还有argue, emphasize, believe, suggest, claim, insist, maintain, agree, hold

　　2. the best book 在西方国家是“圣经”的意思

　　3. to know more, to read more 错误，中式英语

　　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.

　　范文22. 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.

　　注：it is generally accepted that 人们通常认为

　　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. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one’s room.

　　注：1. As is often pointed out by some people = Some people think that

　　2. “使……”不用make，而用keep, allow, offer
