TOPIC: ISSUE25 - "Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction-in other words, to make things as simple as possible."

Does making things simple requires more effort and courage than making them bigger and complex, as the speaker claims? In a sense, I agree insofar as when dealing with humanities problems. When it comes to scientific research and investigation, we need to dispose it systematically and comprehensively, which may require big and perplexing methods.

First and foremost, there is no denying the fact that making thing simple and easy is an efficient method we use in dealing with humanities problem. While dealing with some big and convoluted problems, it is a crucial method to analysis the problem into small phases and settles them one by one. Furthermore, that people should always create something new and difficult seems to be a propensity inherited in human nature, which, on the other hand, could possibly makes those people famous for their specious originality. Therefore, it is a crucial task for us to change the kind of use and wont and make things as easy as possible.

Despite the merits of the speaker's claim, however, I disagree with the statement that making things bigger and complex does not require real courage. With the rapid expansion and inflation of modernization, each subjects and branches in science and technology have developed into a mode that most of us can only learn a tip of the iceberg. The subject of computer science and technology, for example, can no longer be achieved by a single person. Every single advance in science and technology should and only should be achieved by thousands of, or even millions of, us striving for a lifetime in the era of our time.

Finally, and perhaps the most significantly, big and complex things are all formed by the single and small ones, and thus making our world a different realm of existence. The house we live, for instance, is certainly a complex and time-consuming work of the bricklayers. However, with every brick laid upward, we could reach the empyrean. The same goes for architecture, sculpture and computer program. Moreover, if we look at history, we see a very clear pattern of machine automation slowly replacing human labor, which may explicitly reveal the fact that bigger and complex machines are more useful and expedient than simple ones.

From the analysis made above, I commit to the optimal approach that we need to seek a balance and take an all-sided consideration. Without simple and small methods we may feel fragmented when dealing with convoluted problems. Without complex and difficult approaches we cannot thrive on the road ahead. Therefore, we shall make our decisions according to different conditions and circumstances.

Does making things simple requires more effort and courage than making them bigger and complex, as the speaker claims?
疑问句开头，很抓眼球哦~In a sense, I agree insofar as when dealing with
problems. When it comes to scientific research and investigation, we need to dispose it systematically and comprehensively, which may require big and perplexing methods.
First and foremost, there is no denying the fact that making thing simple and easy is an efficient method we use in dealing with humanities problem. While dealing with some big and convoluted problems, it is a crucial method to analysis the problem into small phases and settles them one by one. Furthermore, that people should always create something new and difficult seems to be a propensity inherited in human nature, which, on the other hand, could possibly makes those people famous for their specious originality. Therefore（这个结论和前句，我看不出有什么逻辑联系~或许是我的理解有偏差~）, it is a crucial task for us to change the kind of use and wont and make things as easy as possible.
Despite the merits of the speaker's claim, however, I disagree with the statement that making things bigger and complex does not require real courage. With the
rapid expansion and inflation of modernization,（好短语，抱走） each subjects and branches in science and technology have developed into a mode that most of us can only learn a tip of the iceberg（冰山一角，抱走）. The subject of computer science and technology, for example, can no longer be achieved by a single person. Every single advance in science and technology should and only should be achieved by thousands of, or even millions of, us striving for a lifetime in the era of our time.（论述不到位，只是说到现在的社会、学科等等越来越复杂多变，而没有例证说明将事物变复杂也需要自信和努力~）
Finally, and perhaps the most significantly, big and complex things are all formed by the single and small ones（这一点很棒~）, and thus making our world a different realm of existence. The house we live, for instance, is certainly a complex and time-consuming work of the bricklayers. However, with every brick laid upward, we could reach the empyrean.
