第一篇:英語作文 對比經(jīng)驗(yàn)知識和書本知識 Experience Is the Best Teacher
Experience Is the Best Teacher Admittedly,books have been being considered a very important way to gain knowledge for a long time,especially in China.Thus learning from books is highly valued and that’s the reason why our own examination system could continue
up
to
now
through
thousand
of years.Nevertheless,from my point of view,gaining knowledge from experience is more significant than from books.There is no doubt that learning from books is one of the most prevailing means in our growth of knowledge.Almost all the people in the world attach great significance to the study and research of books in the long learning career because it’s wider in range and deeper in contents compared with learning from experience.After all,the knowledge from books is far more abundant than those we acquire through the experience of life.And on the other hand,learning from books breaks the limitation of time and space restriction in a sense.However,I do believe that one learn best from doing.As the proverb goes,knowledge starts with practice.If we just keep learning book knowledge all along without any practice,then we are at most only learn some useless knowledge.Ever since ancient times,we Chinese have paid much attention to the summary of experience,which made the ancients create a large number of great inventions and become well-known around the ancient world.Many great achievements of foreign scientists,such as gravity theory of Newton,steam engine of Watt and so on,were also based on the summary of previous experience.What’s more,we will never learn to play basketball,play the piano,repair car or speak foreign language by reading books.Those knowledge may all be contained in books but if we do not apply it to practical life we will never have a good command of it.Maybe we sometimes make mistakes,whereas actually the experience from mistakes and failures enables us to make a breakthrough in most cases.That is to say,learning knowledge from experience is an extremely important and efficient way for study in our daily life,even the book,to some extent,is also a product that summarize experience.The knowledge from books ,therefore,is only auxiliary and we must combine it with practical experience to achieve the best effect.In a word,knowledge gained from books and knowledge gained from experience are just like people’s hands and learning from experience is the dominant hand.Anyhow,we ought to become good at summarizing experience to learn some knowledge while having a enough understanding of knowledge from books.Only in this way can we definitely say that we grasp the true knowledge.
第二篇:英語詩歌對比評析
Dingyu Wang(5***)Vy100 Professor Thorpe 11.22.2015
I Prefer Poets: Poets Can Do More than Barking In November 2011, Notch officially completed work on Minecraft 1.0, “an open world game that has no specific goals for the player to accomplish”(Gallegos), which turned out to be a huge success(McCarthy).McCarthy first regards its success as a mystery since it’s only an indie game without any advertising but he finally points out that the success is just because players“have free rein to build, build, build”(par.18).People do enjoythe freedom to think and create.In effect, the situation is analogical when people encounter poems.“Who Is a Poet” and “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” are two poems that both take advantages of audience’s imagination in order to convey its message.However, “Who Is a Poet” provides more freedom for audience to understand and to imagine, thus giving a more effective argument, while “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” restricts audience’s imagination in the author’s world by giving a detailed imaginary scene.The detailed reasons why “Who Is a Poet” is better than “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” will be gradually revealed by analyzing the logos, ethos, and pathos in those poems.Billy Collinswrites “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” in an imaginarily narrative way, encouraging people to seek joy amidst sorrow.In the poem, the neighbors’ dog keeps barking which almost drives the speaker craze.Then he falls into his imaginary world where the annoying dog becomes a soloist.The story that the speaker uses imagination to make an irritating dog so funny tells people not to be stuck by little annoyance and try to make life happier.Wang2
Alternatively, Tadeusz Ró?ewicz writes “Who Is a Poet” to answer the question who is a poet.His argument is that poets are hard to define-anyone can be a poet under certain circumstances.Therefore, he actually gives a “vacant” definition of poets, and leaves the work to the audience who are guided to define their own poets.This kind of argument seems ridiculous but actually is a more effective way to argue such ill-defined items-it has no complete argument in the poem itself, but it has a unique argument once a reader start to read it.It’s the reader who completes the other half of the argument.Although the story in “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” is quite interesting, it can only offer a very limited extent.“Who Is a Poet” does a much better job in offering chances for audience to think deeply.As a result, the latter one is superior to the former one in the interaction between poets and audience, which makes it a better argument.The logos,or the width of a poem’s context may wellconstrain the width of audience’s thoughts, thus playing an important role in an argument.The objects are very limited in “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House”-just the neighbors’ barking dog and the fictional dog soloist.Although that“dog” is likely to be a represent of all the annoyance, which provides a little more extent, the poem is far more restricted in comparison with “Who Is a Poet”.In “Who Is a Poet”,Ró?ewicz covers both abstract and figurative parts about poets.Thanks to its complex context, readers are able to think over it in severallevels, thus obtaining profound understanding that comes from thinking deeply.Generally, the width of poems’ contexts provides objective condition for readers to think freely.The ethos,or the reading process of a poem, does matter a lot with respect to the effect of the argument.Collins’s story starts from a narrative of the actual barking dog and then turns into a narrative of a fictional dog soloist using a transitional sentence “and now I can see him sitting
Wang3
in the orchestra”(Collins).The transitional sentence is a signal and it’s so clear and obvious that people jump into that particular scene without any other thoughts.However, the literal meaning of “Who Is a Poet” is somehow contradictory-Ró?ewicz states a poet can be both one who writes verses and one who doesn’t write verse(Ró?ewicz).The literal contradiction can lead audience into deeper thoughts, thus being capable of sending more messages which are not on the surface of the poem.This kind of sentence-pairs also appears in the beginning of the novel Tale of Two Cities-“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness …”(Dickens 8), which are a recognized extraordinary opening that constructs a solemn atmosphere.Such atmosphere helps people think deeply.The pathos isthe choice ofperson in poems.“Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” uses the first person which constrains the thoughts of readers, while “Who Is a Poet” is in the third person so that it can free the readers’ thoughts.Using the first person is known to be a good method to tell stories, though;it’s not a good idea to apply the first person in an argument.The use of “I” will absorb readers into the story and trap them within the story.Notice that although poems using the first person can take advantages of audience’s imagination,this kind of imagination is limitedwithin the author’s imagination.That is to say, the audience could at most imagine in the way the author imagines, being not able to go out of the author’s imagination.“Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” is actually an interesting poem with wild imagination, but after reading it, people only get the interesting idea of the barking dog and then little thing else.Alternatively, “Who Is a Poet” keeps in the third person and provides an insight of poets by offering a distance between readers and the characters in the poem.As a result, “Who Is a Poet” is also superior to “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” according to the pathos.Wang4
“The message of the poem was defined as the interpretation of the poem, often linked to theme but encompassing more than that.It involves analyzing of unfolding what that would mean to the reader”(Patel).That’s true.Therefore, in order to “have something to be unfolded”, poems need some extra space that is left to readers, as opposed to proses, which are designed to instill the text into readers’ brain thus providing no extra space for readers.People prefer play games rather than watch television, for the former activity provides the freedom to think and create and Minecraft made a huge impact just by providing freedom for players.Not surprised, the poem “Who Is a Poet” which possessesan expansive width, a guidance of in-depth reading process, and the solemn use of the third person is superior to “Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House”, for the former one has a higher degree of freedom provided for audience.According to the history of human beings’ exploration, in which humanbeings try again and again to free themselves from the limit of nature, human beings do pursue freedom, and do enjoy freedom, even when they are reading a poem.Wang5

Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary? A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of College English Test(CET).Model One Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary? A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of College English Test(CET).This news causes a heated debate over the necessity of the test.It is commonly accepted that such a test in China is very necessary.In contrast, others think it unnecessary.Those who hold the first opinion suggest that the speaking ability is very important in today’s society.In their view, a test of spoken English will urge college students to improve their oral English.However, others think that writing skills would be enough for daily use.They argue that spoken English does not necessarily mean better opportunities.Considering one after another, I stand on the side of the former idea.First of all, English, as a language is a tool for oral communication.Furthermore, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for us in the more open China.Thirdly, the test will help us in our job seeking.Therefore, the test of spoken English is necessary.Model Two Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary? A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of College English Test(CET).We may hear quite different comments on this idea.Most people take it for granted that such a test is necessary for college students.However, others hold a different opinion.A dominant idea is that English as a language is a tool for oral communication.In this opinion, such a test will make college students realize the importance of oral English.Nevertheless, the objectors think that many people need not use oral English at work.They argue that the test may not reflect the true level.As to me, I prefer the former opinion.On the one hand, I like exchanging ideas with foreigners.On the other hand, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for us in the more open China.Therefore, the test will give more incentive to our oral English.In conclusion, the test of spoken English is necessary.Model Three Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary? A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of College English Test(CET).Different people will offer quite different ideas on this news.Many people assert that such a test is unnecessary in China.However, others believe that it is necessary.Some may proclaim that fluent oral English does not necessary mean better opportunities.They maintain such an idea because many people need not use oral English at work.In contrast, the objectors think that a fluent spoken English is badly in need in today’s society.They argue that English as a language is a tool for oral communication.As far as I am concerned, I agree to the latter opinion.First, the test can encourage college students to improve their spoken English.Second, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for us since China will continue her open-door policy.Last but not least, I like exchanging ideas with foreigners.In a word, the test of spoken English is necessary.

經(jīng)驗(yàn)知識誰更重要
I am honored to be here, excited to give a short speech about which one is more important, personal experience and knowledge from books.In my opinion, personal experience is more important than knowledge from books.There is no doubt that all the information we need to be able to function well in society is got from books.In the meantime, knowledge is learned by personal experience.We learn to recognize when we make a mistake and how to make it right.Well, with due respect to all those great authors of the books, but in university, I do realize that personal experience means extremely much to me.As we are in this transformational age where communications and commerce are global, technology is almost magical, and the ambition for a better life is now universal, and I think this is why we are here today.We want to earn our personal experience through practicing our oral English, sharing our opinions with all the judges and audience here.And I think we are lucky to be alive at this moment of the history.Never before has our country enjoyed so much prosperity and so much social progress with so few crises.I mean, we get three opinions in life.We can follow the path of life by following the map, or we can keep the map in our back pocket for further reference, and we can apply both of them to our real life.Think twice before you make a decision.At last I wanna share my personal experience which is riding a bike to Beijing alone to end my speech,.Along the way I forced my eyes on the GPS navigation.Unfortunately I was lost before I got there.It is personal experience like this that makes me believe that personal experience is more crucial than knowledge from books.
第五篇:學(xué)英語實(shí)用經(jīng)驗(yàn)
一? 音標(biāo)發(fā)音記憶法
正確地拼讀?朗讀英語,對記憶單詞是行之有效的方法之一?在記憶某個(gè)生詞時(shí),首先要集中精力,注意生詞的詞形?詞義和詞的構(gòu)造,并大聲朗讀這個(gè)生詞,要按音節(jié)把音讀準(zhǔn),同時(shí)進(jìn)行抄寫以加深記憶?這樣也為“聽力”訓(xùn)練打下良好基。例如, congratulation這個(gè)單詞雖然很長,但它符合讀音規(guī)則?只要會讀,就能拼寫出來?
二? 諧趣記憶法
這是種把枯燥乏味的英語字母變成鮮活有趣的東西,寓學(xué)習(xí)于娛樂之中的記憶單詞的方法?可以把幾個(gè)單詞用漢英混用的方法編成順口溜串起來?如果用一個(gè)順口溜把生詞連起來記,就會感到效果也就好多了,如:手拿book,坐bench(chair), 面前放著desk眼look,手write, 耳朵listen to the teacher, 有疑問就hand up, 沒問題莫要talk, 全班保持quiet, 下課我們have a rest。
三? 英漢對照記憶法
此法主要用在記憶課文后的詞匯表里的單詞或自己編寫的詞匯表里的單詞?在詞匯表里,左邊是英語,右邊是相應(yīng)的漢語?記單詞時(shí),用一只手掌(或別的物品)輪流遮蓋住左邊和右邊,一邊看一邊喃喃地念,同時(shí)用手指在空中或桌面上或用筆在本子上練習(xí)拼寫?
四?實(shí)物識詞記憶法
如果有興趣,可以將自己的小地盤布置成“英語世界”?具體做法是:利用彩色(或貼小紙條的辦法)在室內(nèi)的物品上寫上相應(yīng)的英語單詞?短語以及句子?例如,在門上寫上“Open the door(開門)”或“Close the door!(關(guān)門)”?在窗戶上可寫上window,床邊可寫上go to bed, get up,電燈開關(guān)旁可寫上Turn on(off)the light,在掛鐘表的地方寫上 clock或“What time is it?”,“It is...clock.”等字樣?當(dāng)然在家里其它地方,也可按這種方法去做?過一段時(shí)間,等到把這些詞和短語記住后,再換一些內(nèi)容?
在掌握了一定數(shù)量的詞匯的基礎(chǔ)上,可以運(yùn)用聯(lián)想記憶法,在頭腦中構(gòu)建一個(gè)詞匯網(wǎng)絡(luò)?聯(lián)想的內(nèi)容可分為同義詞?反義詞?同類詞?同根詞等?在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中多注視單詞的用法和詞組的搭配,牢記老師講過的單詞慣用法和句型,這樣不僅有助于我們解題,而且在寫作時(shí)也會信手拈來,運(yùn)用自如。
