225 "People often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms; we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else”
好难写，乱七八糟的，大家讨论讨论这个题目吧

The statement claims that it is unhelpful or even harmful for people tend to look for similarities franticly between studied objects, and we should treat them avoiding compare. In my view, I partly agree the statement in that it is not reasonable to excessively seek for similarities, however, the claimer goes too far by completely and arbitrarily overlooking the importance of compare.  

To understand a thing or to prompt the development of a thing, simply and blindly drawing relationship of similarity or analogy is essentially harmful. The explanation for this lies in the fact that we are often led by such radical behaviors to be partial, prejudicial, shortsighted, and overweening. For example, the only character of evil is attributed to all the crimes, don’t thinking of their regret and probable goodness, most of us are more likely to abase them and treat them unfairly just during the time we play great emphasis on human rights. Now it comes to our basic education system, which oppressively impose the common principles on the children, with no respect to the individualized model to exert their own potential. At the high level, consider the economic development of a country, having no research on native concrete situations such as geography, climate, population, etc. but just transcribing foreign developing models and experiences can only bring about cool winter for the national economic.

Now the appealing point deserving our great attention is that denying false and reluctant similarities or analogies can not induce the falsehood that comparing should be cancelled. The following two reasons support my opinion. At the first place, we can not deny the reasonable and necessary similarities to be looked for. Actually, finding the sense of identification of origin, for instance, to great extent, is a process of mining various characters that identify with our ancestors. Personal value is also implemented in balancing whether or not what one has done has gone in direction same with societal one and self’s one.  Secondly, to make a progress, compare with others aims at more than finding similarities existing within them. The essential difference concluded from the compare equally seems to be of vital significance. This is substantiated by the fact that frequently, differences in thoughts and theory follow great innovation. What is more, they are even marked as the signals of genius, although a little absolute, it at least indicates that we should not follow the so-called similarities in the cost of our own thoughts. Insofar this statement, the right attitude hold by us should be that it is reasonable and necessary too to look for the similarities, if impossible, our consideration should not be confined to internal terms, that is, compare is indispensable.

In conclusion, I agree that finding false similarities and drawing false analogies can be harmful. We can’t, however, isolate anything from the outside if we want to have a research on it or make a progress on it, or even just to recognize it. Being afraid of making out false similarities can not be excuse for abandoning comparing, which clears probably not only similarities but also differences within a series of things. Both of them are equally essential.

语言还不错的
For example, the only character of evil is attributed to all the crimes, don’t thinking of their （是regardless of 吧？）个别地方要注意。
但是，你第二段的论点好像很奇怪，例子也不像是在做支持，没有搞懂
sorry

但是，..

以下省略...... [/B]

对，谢谢，我现在也觉得 regardless of很合适，我的词汇很窄啊
意思是：我们把邪恶当成所有罪犯的共性，而不考虑其他比如善于悔改和一些善良的方面，以至于在这个呼吁人权的社会里对他们不公平的对待。
第二段的意思是就是在看待某些问题的时候过于追求共性的一面而忽略个性的一面容易导致偏见、偏侠、目光短浅和一些危害

第二段写的确实很乱，不好意思，还有20天就考了，好多作文都没过目，惨～～

你的作文的大致的方向还是没错，我想这篇文章的开头你做得很好。这种类型的题目，你确实需要对STATEMENT发表一下议论，其实不是你的词汇狭窄，我想文章的语言应该是平时易懂的（这是议论文的最基础要求）。但让人感觉你有些句子有些晦涩，我个人认为不要太看中你是用了哪个级别的词汇。关键是要让别人一下就看懂。

08 people have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas , individuals and groups.

In the title statement , the author claims that people are more tend to find similarities which should not be encouraged . I strongly disagree with the author , people should and do compare the different things to find the similarities and difference as well in order to achieve progress.

Firstly, looking for similarities between different things by comparison is a basic way human can truly learn anything can communicate with each other. It is human nature to understand and remember new things we encounter similar to what we are already familiar.. For example, a child associate of blue with sky’ color . When he see a ball of blue, the child can recognize as blue by way of similar to blue sky . Simply put , as human beings , we can learn new things by comparison to find similarities.

Secondly, looking for difference by comparison ,in a personal level people constantly perfect themselves. By comparison one things to anther , people appreciate it more clearly and comprehensive, estimate the merits and the deficiencies of ir more accurately and subjectively, and ultimately use it more properly. For example, self-acknowledge is best achieved by comparing one self with others. Besides , we often learn from ourselves when we compare what we are between what we were to find the progress and decline we have go through and ultimately correct the flaws and retain the merits so as to perfect ourselves more and more. Simply put, without comparision to find difference , without the progress of us.


Lastly, looking for difference by comparison , in a social level , is also inalienable in social advancement and prosperity .Through ceaseless comparison . people constantly eradicate their imperfection and import the advantages of other things . Through this way, we have acquired horrendous advancements in many aspect of society. By comparision with the difference between the wave theory and the quantive theory , we find the ---theory. By comparsion, we become aware of the enormous advantages that computers have over our minds in ability of computing and processing data. Thus computers take precedence over manual calculation . And we get ahead into the renewed digital age. In addition , a given society also benefit a lot through comparision with its contemporary counterparts. Simply put , without comparison , without the advancement of our society.
In sum, whether we find similarities or difference, we can achieve progress .
