Newspapersand magazines are greatest inventions – they can help us know whatis happening all over the world. But, Newspapers and magazines cannot be the best way to learn a foreign country. Firstly,there may be a lot of obstacles access to newspapers and magazines onforeign countries. Languages will limit you reading a foreignnewspapers and magazines. You may have to face a foreign languagelike Japanese, French and Spainish. It is also uncomfortable to reada foreign language for a long time. And foreign newspapers are fewand expensive. Because they are generally for their overseascitizens. Secondly,ignoring the limitation above, we can not find what we want from thenewspapers and magazines. You can find plenty of magazines andnewspapers about a certain country, but it is so hard to pick outwhat you are interested in. Assume that you are interested ingeography of a country and want to buy a magazine, such as NationalGeographic, can you easily find what you want on it? Probably not,because there are so many countries, and you can hardly find what youwant. Without a search engine, it is almost impossible to doeffective search. Thirdly,it is hard to have a totally objective description. Perhaps nobodywould like to be inflicted on other's impression. But, it is almostunavoidable while you learn about a foreign country by newspapers andmagazines. The problem arises in part from thearticles on them are picked by the editor, and there are no guaranteethe editor will be objective. Moreover, the articles are written bysomeone. They are expressing their feelings. The proverb says "Thereare a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes". It is alsotrue about country. Therefore, it would be much better if you feel ityourself.作者: 白菜学英语 时间: 2010-8-1 21:49:12
09.02.27NA Doyou agree or disagree with the following statement? A job with morevacation time but a low salary is better than a job with a highsalary but less vacation time.
Personally,I totally concede that a more vacation time but a low salary job isbetter. The following is some supportive reason. Firstly,more vacation time benefits to one in mental and emotional health.Almost every one would like to have a long time for relax, duringwhich they can do whatever they like and spend some time with theirfamilies. Thus, they can release their pressure. That is to say,vacation can build your spiritual health which in my opinion outweighmoney. Seeing that keeping in good mood prevent diseases can saveplenty of money and time, we can easily conclude that being gratifiedworths much more than cash. Furthermore,having a good mood in reverse assist us to work effectively andproductively. Working without rest will cause people feel down andhopeless, which may reduce them enthusiasm and eventually affect thework. A research recently also shows that the speed of response willbe reduce significantly if one is in depression. At the same time,the comprehension and logical judgement are also affected. Theresearch confirms the importance of vacation from the other side. Additionally,the salary one can earn depends greatly on his working performance.Namely, the salary will not always stay low if one is outstanding. Abetter work performance can obviously accelerate it. There is noexcuse for the boss to refuse to rise wages for a subordinate who isactually excellent. And this is also rooted in more vacation. Inconclusion, it can be a virtuous circle if start with a more vacationjob – more vacation brings more enthusiasm and more enthusiasmresult in rising wages. Perhaps starting with higher salary can makeyou feel better, but starting with more vacation one can help you toachieve success quicker and happier.作者: littlekuo 时间: 2010-8-3 16:38:56
Admittedly,
both televisions and telephones are great invention in the（the 去掉） history. However, I personally believe that telephones have changed our life much more than televisions have done.
First of all, telephones have completely changed the life of individuals. The invention of the（the 去掉） telephone allowed communication between people over great distances, which had to take days, months and even years by mail in the past. In 1970s' China, few families owned a telephone. My father told me that a friend of my grandfather once felt sick and wanted to go to the hospital, but he had to walk to hosptial painfully, because he has no other ways to inform the hospital his illness. if he had a telephone, he could have called an ambulance. From such an example we can conclude that the invention of telephones paved a path for new era of communication in some ways.
Secondly, telephones have changed society as it leads to a faster exchange of information and communication. With a faster exchange of information and communication, economy of the society can grow quickly. faster and more accurate information brings faster and more correct reactions, which helps companies stand out in the fierce competition. At the same time, the economy grows.
Thirdly, telephone revolutionized and modernized the world and made great strides in technology. Talking to someone on another part of the world was thought to be an impossibility before, but telephones made that possible. It was(was 去掉) greatly changes the view on the world. On the other hand, telephones also paved the way to more useful inventions which makes exchange of ideas, information and learning accessible to more people around the world. With the help of telephones, great scientists can exchange their ideas, thoughts and discoveries. Then, it resulted in more inventions and greater discoveries.
To conclude, I can not agree more about the invention of telephones having changed our world in depth. To individuals, to the society and to the process of mankind, telephones can be a significant invention.
