还有3星期就考了,一直在做听力,刚开始作文准备.觉得差好多!!!请牛人批改指教!谢谢! Learn more from books than televisions.
Whether we learn more from books or televisions? Different people will give different responses from there own characters, emotional concerns and education backgrounds. As far as I am concerned, I strongly believe that we can learn much more from books than televisions. In the following discussion, I would like to reason and provide concrete evidence to support my viewpoint.
It goes without saying that books contain the wisest words dated to thousands of years-or just several days ago. Just as Descartes, one of the most famous philosophers had said: “The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries.” When I read THE LORD OF THE RINGS, I felt like that my imagination was flying with the wings given by J.R.R Tolkien; when I was reading THREE NATIONS, C.E. Wu told me the story face to face; while reading IDEAL NATION, I discussed the final good of human with Plato with heart communication. This heart communication is unavailable when we are watching TV.
Also we could find that, books have been the most efficient source of knowledge acquiring since its appearing about 5000 years ago when ancient people caved on the rocks to product the earliest books. For thousands of years, human beings have learned knowledge and experience from books and written down theirs to the next generations. This method is not out-of-date at all: recently there is a survey made by a group of students from Pennsylvania Univ. saying that: 78.7% of students all over the United States said that they acquire their knowledge mainly from books. In contract to this number, only 9.2% of the investigated students hold the opinion that they earn more through watching TV.
In addition, we can pick up a book and start reading something which we want to learn at any time, in any place. There is no program-schedule for readers. Whenever and wherever we desire to study, books are always available. Let’s take my father for instance: as a professor of Philosophy, he have bought over 1500 books since he was a college student. He has a special reading room in which he could do his research with all the books he need around him. Impossible it is in the matter of TV.
Admittedly, TV could provide video and sound which of course make the information much more vividly. But it also will kill our imagination as well. The case is too weak to weaken my point.
To sum up, due to the mentioned reasons above, which sometimes correlate with each other to form an organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any single one of them, we can safely reach the conclusion that we can learn more from books than TV. Life requires knowledge, and book is the key. |
