NO.147 现代化与传统
  "Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them." 统和现代是不相容的。人们必须在二者之间做出选择。
提纲：
1. 指出有时他们不兼容。但大多时候他们能和谐共处。

2. 举出它们不能相容的时候和例子。

3.论证它们互相依赖，促进各自发展，在大多数情况下。

  a).传统知识是现代文明的基石。
  b).现代文明是传统的扩展或另一种表现方式。
  c).传统可以和现代文明和谐相处的例子。

4.总结。

The speaker asserts that we must choose between tradition and modernization because they are not compatible. I agree insofar as in certain cases there are some conflicts between them and therefore the two are mutually exclusive. However, in most cases, they're complementary so that the two could help each other to progress.

Admittedly, tradition is mainly relative to customs, beliefs and old ways of life, while modernization refers mostly  to industrialization, science and technology. So it's  inevitable  that tradition has fallen behind sometimes and it should give way to modernization.  For example, in the past, people send message to their friends in the distance mainly by letters. Nowadays, various ways of communication such as e-mail, msn, and mobile phone have sprung up to take the place of letters in most cases. It is also hard to imagine what the society would be like if we still live by farming and hunting, women behave as attachments to men, and people have blind faith in superstition yet.

However, for the most part, tradition and modernization should rely on each other to progress. For one thing, the tradition serves as an indispensable foundation for modernization. Most of the traditional knowledge we inherit from our predecessors are still helpful when applied to current situations. For instance,  although Arabic numerals first appeared two thousands years ago, it is still in use in people’s daily lives and science research. In short, without the nutrition from traditional soil, the flower of modernization will never blossom out as we enjoy today.

For another, so-called modernization nowadays is actually an extension or new display of tradition. This is especially true for our festivals and culture. An apt illustration involves Olympic Games, which was first held at Olympia in ancient Greece for honoring the Greek god Zeus. Modern Olympics, standing for peace and friendship,  has become the most important activity for people all over the world due to the modern transport and communication technique. In this view, modernization plays an important role in tradition's development and prosperity.

Moreover, in many cases tradition can live in harmony with modernization. Let’s look at some famous cities such as Paris and Peking, old buildings belonging to royalty in the past make the cities more attractive for tourists. Also the popular songs with classical elements are preferred to youngsters nowadays.

In sum, tradition and modernization are enemies like water and fire sometimes. But in most cases they're friends and could help each other to progress. Hence, we can't only choose one between them.

Nowadays, various ways of communication such as e-mail, msn, and mobile phone have sprung up to take the place of letters in most cases(我觉得最好把这些情况列举几个出来，包括前面的sometimes). It is also hard to imagine what the society would be like if we still live by farming and hunting, women behave as attachments to men, and people have blind faith in superstition yet.(这句话和这段主题好象不太搭耶

（就说不好的地方吧，感觉论证的时候很平淡，没有深入下去。呵呵，共同面对的难题哦，加油！）

论证的层次感不错 语言没有任何表达不清楚的地方，很简洁。剩下的就是“装修”你的语言了
因为题目谈到的传统和现代很抽象概念，要充分论证出观点，难度不小。我写得时候就很头疼，感觉写了一句，紧跟着就没法再深入地论证了。感觉就是没有话说。
这篇文章，有些论据找的还不能够充分地支持观点。有些不是特别贴切。就感觉有时候没有正中“要害”
