英语四级考试写作冲刺

But others may not agree, they emphasize that today's society is not what it was. If one man has many kinds of knowledge, he will have more chances to succeed. If a man knows much in one field but knows nothing in other fields, he may be useless. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we must read extensively.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.
