My own feeling is that I write all about too commonplace issues, no striking examples or any higher-level extension. But how about the choice of position? Feel free to make any comment you like, please!

Issue234 Most people prefer restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice, although they would probably deny such a preference.

There is no absolute freedom of choice. To have freedom to choose always means to have restrictions and regulations to follow. It is no even an issue of preference.

Firstly, as an individual living in society, one’s freedom can be expanded only to the scale of not invading others’ freedom. You can choose to enjoy yourself with loud music until late into the night, but you cannot deprive your neighbors of the right to have a quiet sleeping night. You can choose to blow up a house in a rage, but you cannot damage others’ property or injure others’ body. As a result, one’s freedom of choice always has to be in accordance with the laws and regulations, which appears to be restrictions yet actually protect every individual to enjoy reasonable freedom.

Secondly, to have freedom of choice in some cases inevitably requires obeying some relative restrictions. For example, to enjoy the freedom brought by a privately owned car, the owner has to keep proper maintenance to the car and to follow the traffic rules when driving it. To enjoy the boundless benefit of electricity, one must follow the safely handling directions to keep the electricity from leaking. Without obeying the restrictions, the freedom could be hazardous.

Thirdly, very often, to have freedom of choice in some aspects also means to give up freedom in some other aspects. In order to gain the freedom to buy whatever one likes, one has to spend his or her time in working, instead of doing other more interesting but non-profitable things, to earn money. In order to procure the freedom of words and sentences’ choice to express one’s ideas clearly in an essay, one has to sacrifice his or her other interests such as painting, singing and sports while spending hours and hours in writing practice. In another word, some freedom of choice can only be earned at the price of some other freedom, which is also a part of restriction.

Lastly and most essentially, although we have undoubtedly gained a lot more freedom of choice than before through the ever developing scientific technologies, there are still so many objective factors that restrain us from having absolute freedom of choice. We can enjoy those delicious vegetables originally belong to a certain season at any time of the year, but we can not change the cycling of the seasons. We can predict many natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, but we cannot diminish them at any rate. We are free to watch TV and surf the internet as much as we like, but we only have a limited lifetime to do so.

All in all, there is never absolute freedom of choice no matter you prefer it or not. Freedom always goes hand in hand with restrictions and regulations. We have to decide which freedom we desire most, then follow certain restrictions and regulations, and even give up the a lot of other freedom of choice  to lead a life as meaningful as we prefer.

我觉得这个题目中的“prefer”需要考虑一下。是不是要有这样一个论点：

正是因为有了这些限制，人们才知道自己该做些什么。如果没有限制，人们将不知道该何去何从

xiaohe JJ 的文章功底好，条理清晰，学习。。。
但俺有个问题，这种只部分回应题目问题，只提到restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice，而对prefer 和deny 等关键动词一带而过，有避重就轻之嫌的做法是不是会认为没有完全回应原题目呢，算跑题吗？
新人问题，希望赐教啊！

Thank you, guys. Here I am again, after a long holiday and a long break from the internet.
It is always flourishing on this board. I have to scoop up this one from deep.

The outline is almost the first sentence of each paragraph. I can't write Chinese now. It makes me so umcomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable with my expression at any point, just feel free to say it. It's bound to be my awkard way of expression. Anyway, I hope I can be almost, if not perfectly, understood.

Ha, 不怕开水烫的猪, Nice to see you again. No new essay from you, eh?

In fact, I myself am not satisfied with this one. I have the feeling that I even don't know what to say and what not to say about a given topic. Always afraid of digressing. Hope I can improve a little bit each time I write about a new topic.

Oh, forgot to say,
Happy New Year and Good Luck to all G-friends on the board.

好像没有回答我的问题:(

Sorry, I thought I answered you question. I just didn't mention your name. It's so looooong. (kidding, :D)

" I have the feeling that I even don't know what to say and what not to say about a given topic. Always afraid of digressing."
I am really not sure what an appropriate response should be. I guess mine position might be acceptable, but maybe is not the most appropriate.

Really painful.

thank you!
不过通过近期的学习，我理解issue的response真的是比较vague。
只是模糊的觉得像learning，competition的体型比较好掌握，而这种比较抽象的概念就不清楚怎样具体化了，还有就是艺术类，晕:(
