We are always facing with so many choice during our life time. We may choose which university to go, we may choose among several job offers, we may choose what kind of friends to make etc.. Sometimes, the options are just a dilemmas, for we must choose between two things that are both valuable to us, for example, comfortable life or high salary, lover or family, even belief or to be alive.
Fortunately, we often have the chance to choose, that is why I partially agree with the title statement, keeping believing the circumstance in which we can not make a choice is really rare , very rare. However, it is not to deny a certain situation will not allow any alternatives, even this kind of things are not always coming to us.
As an individual, opportunities are always waiting for us. If you do not like your
major, your university will give you a chance to change it; if you do not feel good in your working environment, you are also free to fire it and go to another company, or even create your own career; amazingly, although I don not like, it is possible to change your marriage, if you are not loving your wife or husband or find you two are not suitable anymore. But on a certain condition, something
can not be chosen, for example, your parents and relatives and the like. Luckily, the kind of conditions are to some extent, very rare.
As for the society , choice also exists. An obvious phenomenon is that we have both socialism society, as well as capitalism society,
all countries around the world are able to choose between them according to their national reality, to bring their cityzens relatively better life. Also, there are also some bad choice, or at the same time , no choice. For instance, the second World War was just a choice by three countries, but the others could not choose
to avoid it, remaining peace. They were all enrolled in the tragedy, suffering and
struggling. However, there is another choice waiting for them-------- getting together
to defeat the enemy, and they finally made it.
As for the nature, sometimes, we seems really have no choice. When the earthquake happens, when H1N1 became popular all over the world, when volcano breaks up, when typhoon
comes. We humanbeings have no ability to stop them. But think clearly, we still have a choice, we can choose to protect our environment, we can choose not to search for development at the cost of pollution and damaging the original condition of our nature. Warming gas, leakage of ozone and other problems which are threatening our life and may bring some terrible consequence are all our own choice when we did the bad things to our surroundings. Now, it is high time to choose to make a change.
To sum up, although there are something we cannot choose, but as far as I am concerned, this kind of situation is always rare, even if we get into this dilemma, I always believe we can make some choice to change the situation.

The world has always presents us with so many choices under nearly all conditions; even in some extreme cases, we still have many other ways. So I strongly agree with the speaker's assertion that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare.

We are social animals, and we survive and develop in a society. From the basic survival needs to the more advanced spiritual pursuits, we make choices along the way（这句话的表达没见过along the way）. Imagine a day of a typical person's life. At meal times, he could decide what food to eat, from Chinese food to French food, all at his choices. During the free time, he could decide what he does to pass the time, from watching a movie to playing basketball or simply taking a nap. We always have many choices in our daily lives. Someone would doubt that if we are in extreme situations, we might not have any alternatives. It is not true. Even in some scenarios, such as in a prision or on the blink of a divorce, people are not deprived of choices completely.
(中心很明确，写在一些普通的社会生活中的选择)
Consider a man in a prison. He cannot go anywhere but stay in his cell, waiting for the day when he can get out. He has no freedom, but choices. He could use this time to plan for his future, and do something beneficial to the society and atone for his mistakes that he committed. Also, he could devise a nice plan to get jail break like Shawshank did. Moreover, this situation being in the prison was also one of his choices in the past.  Therefore,  choices are available even in a prison.
（举例说明极端情况下看似没有选择，其实还是可以选择的，主要是从个人方面）
Consier the case of a marriage. The marriage between a husband and his wife was almost done, and they had arguments, disputes and even fights all the time. It seems that a divorce is the only choice. Yet this might not necessarily be the case. The couple should stay calm and give a second thought on the influence of their own behaviors on one another, and evaluate the effects of this divorce on the people involved in this incident, especially their children. After doing this, many of their could change their minds. Sadly, no one has the ratinoality to think clearly and carefully when they are in emtion. Thus, we tend to think no choices are available in a extreme situation because our eyes are blinded to the choices. They are just there, but we do not see them.
（同上，说的是婚姻方面，指出不是没有选择，而是在一些情绪的作用下人们看不到）
On a national scale, every nation can take many ways when they act. Take North Korea and South Korea for example. The neighboring countries have rancors against each other for almost half a century, the tension between the two countries has never been solved. Both of them could have lived in peace despite they have distinct ideologies, moreover, they used to be one country and they share the same blood, languages and customs. However, they do not want to choose the peace choice. The problem is we have choices but we do not choose those choices.
（同上，从国家方面，写极端情况下选择的存在性）
To sum up, both individuals and nations, have choices all the time. We are forced by ourselves to take certain choice while ingnoring the existence of the alternatives.
文章从头到尾，从TS到CS，以及中间的论述都很清晰，有条理，例子加分析，很明确，所以我觉得没啥要改的.还有，感觉后面两个例子都是写极端情况下选择的存在性，可是有感觉不到很极端，换言之，极端其实很难把握，所以我建议把开头in some extreme cases，那个extreme去掉就可以了。很好了，继续加油

WORDS: 604          TIME: 00:43:00          DATE: 2010-8-11 16:57:57

The world we live is flexible and people in this world have ability to make any choices as they like in most cases. Even though there are some stubborn and fixed factors, which had been determined before people was born, every individual should not neglect the choice they have in their lives based on those factors. I fundamentally agree with the notion that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare.

Admittedly, as I have mentioned above, some factors are born with us and we never get the chance to change them, say nothing of choose them. For instance, where we were born, the sex of us, the parent of us and the skin color of us are the factors that would play significant roles in our lives while we can choose them. Michael Jackson, one of the most famous singer and dancer all over the world, is black. No matter how he desires to change it, he never get the chance to choose. Even he did the plastic surgery to make him like a white man, the fact that he is a black never changed. In these aspects, the absence of choice does exist.

However, in the later life time, we always get the chance to make choice in all aspects. Like in our day-to-day life, we can always choose our life-style, our dresses and our living environment. Every movement of human beings is the results of choice made by the specific individual after consider all the factors contribute to the choice. What's more significant is that we should realize that the factors I mentioned above can only influence the choice we have, instead of determine the final choice that we have to make. For example, if I am black, I could choose to have self-respect or pretend to be the white, which is totally different. Like the woman who refused to stand up to leave her seat for a white man in a bus, we can choose what we will do in spite of the color of our skin. These choices, which we often overlooked, are always exist.

Then why we often hear some people argue that they have no choice to do something? The fact is that they only make the final choice after judging the merits of all the choices and claim that they have to do what seems best to them. Take education as an example. In China, lots of people claim they have to go to school to get education even they hate to waste time in those useless lessons, like Principles of Marxist Philosophy and computer science.  However, the success of Han, who has been nominated as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine, convinced us that we always have the chance to leave school. Those who claim they do have to choice to leave school and educate themselves is because they throw such choice away themselves. They do not have enough courage to choose the way to create their business, like Bill Gates when other contemporaries choose to go to university. The only way for they to appease themselves is claim they did not get the chance to do so.

To sum up, the choices are around us in every second and every places. Even some factors are fixed in our life time, it can never determine the final choice in most cases. Those who claim they have to do something are crows who do not dare to scrutinize carefully or choose other choices. The absence of choice is extremely rare in our life time.




Ts：虽然某些当我们生下来就固定的东西是不可更改的。但是建立在这些东西之上的生活却是充满了选择的。
1．        确实有些东西我们无法选择。
2．        但是生活中却充满了选择
3．        有些人声称他们没有选择是因为他们在做出了对比以后只看见了他们以为的最好的选择。（Han has been nominated as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine）

The Human being live in society, facing with numerous choices. In our whole life, no action is not decided by choices, so the absence of choice is actually a circumstance that is very, very rare. Life do offer us a lot of choice, and to gain what we determine to get, what we should do is to make it clear what we want and make the correct choice.

I was born in China, and like every other one, I cannot choose my parents, birthplace and family. Every living thing is given the life by the power of nature, which leave no choice. It seems that the only one thing we cannot choose is to live. After we have grown-up, we can even choose to die, but if we were caught some deadly disease, the opinion- to live- will be gone. Thus, everything has been decided merely before our birth, and after that we have the right to decide how to live other than to live.

Since there are several or many option in almost every situation, why some people considered they have no choice after they do the wrong things? The answer is buried in human being's lure.

Ancient philosopher, Aristotle, has said, ' The origin of action is choice, and that of choice is desire and reasoning view to the end.' What we have done in every second is from the choice we have made. If the German musician, Handel had not chosen to learn music other than law, which his father enforced him to learn, there would not be the beautiful <Hallelujah> and a lot of renowned cantatas. Provided that Van Gogh had not suicide at that time, he must lead a happy and rich life in the rest of his life. The actions of these people reflected their choices and give them the deserved results.

However, lots of people not only pay no attention on the choice, but also complain society or God have not offered them the chance to select. As mentioned in the second paragraph, under the circumstance that nature had made the worst choice, the people who owned disabled body yet have a strong heart. Great female American writer Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing, but she decided to learn and desire to be a normal people. She did it and made her life immortal. In fact, there always have been a lot of options around our life, and how we decide depends on the desire from our hearts. It was no need for Van Gogh to die because his friend had arrived his home to save him. But his heart had already died, hiding itself from other options-like leading a new life in another place- and choose to elude. Therefore, human, do not hide always, ask what you really want and think about whether there is other choices for me to make at this situation.

As a result of that, the absence of choice is such a situation that is very, very rare. Accepting what we have and offered, not hiding other options from your heart and making the best way to our goals is what everyone is supposed to do.

The author claims that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare which i fundamentally agree with. There are many scenes of making choices in our daily lives that we could find. Such as in most of countries, residents got the rights to vote in political election, and the franchise is open for every legal taxpayer. In educational field, people are be（be删掉） able to choose the knowledge that they interest（are interested in）, and for some extent free to explore such areas in this information-booming era. As customers in the shop, we could make our own decisions on consuming behaviors, and as participants in the life, we are be able to choose competition with our contemporaries. Facing choice is just like a major part of our daily life in（删in） nowadays. And who says that we cannot choose our original birth? At least, people have chance to change their original gender though transecualism-operation.（一开始就举了很多例子，很有说服力，也没有套路的痕迹，学习）

To run this assertion in depth, we need to consider from one person to the whole community. First of all, the development of the nature world never stop going forward while it based on a choice about natural selection theory; secondly, the development of social history [is continue] (continues)on choices of a verity of courses: the literature realm, politics realm, technology real, and education realm and the like. For instance, in the realm of politics, democratic social system ensures our free condition in the range of legal, thus we have the right to choose. And in the education realm, each one has the right to choose the major according to his/her own interests; thirdly, human faces a great deal of choices almost everyday see from the development of personal life. Commend sense tells us that we human beings are free and possessed the freedom of the will which has the right to choose in company. In addition to those in prison or mental problems of people, the absence of choice is a circumstance that truly very rare.

Otherwise, when people think they don't have a choice, the truth is they neglect other hidden choices or they don't want to make a choice at all to a great extent. It is a habit to follow old-fashioned for people facing choices cause risk and choice coexist. No choice doesn't equal to no chance. When people give up choosing after their careful thinking, it can't be treated as "no choice".  We have to know that, actually, the behavior of giving up choice is the other choice of those people.

And of course some guys choose to escape in the condition of choice need to be done. 【是想表达 in the condition of that another choice needs to be done?]For instance, in 1933, when Germany ruled by anti-Jewish government, Albert Einstein has decided to escape from their tyranny and stay in the United States for his later life. He has announced that:" As long as I have a choice, I choose to live in a nation that has, civil liberties, tolerances, and the equalities in front of all citizens." In this analysis, Einstein chose not to suffer with the Germany government at that time and escaped with them but also decided on another choice to live in the US. But, to be sure that escaping choosing is a kind of choice.

However, it is not to say that the circumstance without a choice doesn't exist at all. Firstly, we have no choice to the natural disaster and death but to accept. For example, a multitude of emperors had done lots of things trying to find everlasting elixirs but ended up with dead. Apart from this, the choice we have made also depends on condition. We could not abuse the choices otherwise it may bring harm. And definitely, people choose under the permitted by law in case of preventing the social disorder.

To sum, the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare, but we also need to make choice within our morality and the permitted by law.

The world we live is flexible and people in this world have ability to make any choices as they like in most cases. Even though there are some stubborn and fixed factors, which had been determined before people was born, every individual should not neglect the choice they have in their lives based on those factors. I fundamentally agree with the notion that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare.

Admittedly, as I have mentioned above, some factors are born with us and we never get the chance to change them, say nothing of choose them(这句不是很明白nothing of choosing them吧？有点中式的感觉). For instance, where we were born, the sex of us, the parent of us and the skin color of us are the factors that would play significant roles in our lives while we can choose them. Michael Jackson, one of the most famous singer and dancer all over the world, is black. No matter how he desires to change it, he never get the chance to choose. Even he did the plastic surgery to make him like a white man, the fact that he is a black never changed.（亲爱的，MJ已经被证实了他确实没有去漂白皮肤，他声称他自己是得了一种皮肤病，皮肤色素受损，已经被法医鉴定证实确实是这样的） In these aspects, the absence of choice does exist.

However, in the later life time, we always get the chance to make choice in all aspects. Like in our day-to-day life, we can always choose our life-style, our dresses and our living environment. Every movement of human beings is the results of choice made by the specific individual after consider all the factors contribute to the choice. What's more significant is that we should realize that the factors I mentioned above can only influence the choice we have, instead of determine the final choice that we have to make. For example, if I am black, I could choose to have self-respect or pretend to be the white, which is totally different. Like the woman who refused to stand up to leave her seat for a white man in a bus, we can choose what we will do in spite of the color of our skin. These choices, which we often overlooked, are always exist.这段论证不错

Then why we often hear some people argue that they have no choice to do something? The fact is that they only make the final choice after judging the merits of all the choices and claim that they have to do what seems best to them. Take education as an example. In China, lots of people claim they have to go to school to get education even they hate to waste time in those useless lessons, like Principles of Marxist Philosophy and computer science.  However, the success of Han, who has been nominated as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine, convinced us that we always have the chance to leave school. Those who claim they do have to choice to leave school and educate themselves is because they throw such choice away themselves. They do not have enough courage to choose the way to create their business, like Bill Gates when other contemporaries choose to go to university. The only way for them to appease themselves is claim they did not get the chance to do so.这段论证也不错，但是第二句话，就是回答第一句那个问题的这句话，最好再改一下，因为看不懂在说什么…
To sum up, the choices are around us in every second and every place. Even some factors are fixed in our life time, it can never determine the final choice in most cases. Those who claim they have to do something are crows who do not dare to scrutinize carefully or choose other choices. The absence of choice is extremely rare in our life time.

The Human being live in society, facing with numerous choices. In our whole life, no action is not decided by choices, so the absence of choice is actually a circumstance that is very, very rare. Life do offer us a lot of choice, and to gain what we determine to get, what we should do is to make it clear what we want and make the correct choice.

I was born in China, and like every other one, I cannot choose my parents, birthplace and family. Every living thing is given the life by the power of nature, which leave no choice. It seems that the only one thing we cannot choose is to live. After we have grown-up, we can even choose to die, but if we were caught some deadly disease, the opinion(option?)- to live- will be gone. Thus, everything has been decided merely before our birth, and after that we have the right to decide how to live other than to live.

Since there are several or many option in almost every situation, why (did) some people considered(consider) they have no choice after they do the wrong things? The answer is buried in human being's lure.

Ancient philosopher, Aristotle, has said, ' The origin of action is choice, and that of choice is desire and reasoning view to the end.' What we have done in every second is from the choice we have made. If the German musician, Handel had not chosen to learn music other than law, which his father enforced him to learn, there would not be the beautiful <Hallelujah> and a lot of renowned cantatas. Provided that Van Gogh had not suicide at that time, he must lead a happy and rich life in the rest of his life. The actions of these people reflected their choices and give them the deserved results.

However, lots of people not only pay no attention on the choice, but also complain society or God have not offered them the chance to select.
(consider revising: lots of people complain society and God have not offered them the chance to select, ignoring the choices available for them)
As mentioned in the second paragraph, under the circumstance that nature had made the worst choice, the people who owned disabled body yet have a strong heart. Great female American writer Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing, but she decided to learn and desire to be a normal people. She did it and made her life immortal. In fact, there always have been a lot of options around our life, and how we decide depends on the desire from our hearts. It (there)was no need for Van Gogh to die because his friend had arrived his home to save him. But his heart had already died, hiding itself from other options-like leading a new life in another place- and choose to elude. Therefore, human, do not hide always, ask what you really want and think about whether there is other choices for me to make at this situation.

As a result of that, the absence of choice is such a situation that is very, very rare. Accepting what we have and offered, not hiding other options from your heart and making the best way to our goals is what everyone is supposed to do.
