WORDS: 580          TIME: 45min         DATE: 2006-7-13

Camparing nonmainstream areas with mainstream science, in my eyes, I concede that sometimes people  prefer resolving problems with nonmainstream knowledge. However, I strongly disgree with the speaker's evaluation which highly emphasize the benefits from nonmainstream knowledge and even make it play a vital role in human society.

Firstly, I would like to explain why human are depending on which they need nonmainstream fields, such as astrology, fortune-telling, psychic or other paranormal scales to satisfy their requirements for the problems. No matter what knowledge is included in mainstream or nonmainstrain, it acturally plays a vital role in its own area. Consider, for example, fortune-telling, the area of making an illusion toward future life, is acturally to satisfy human who are contious about future containing their descendants' life, the future technology, or even whether human can fly to outworld on Mars or like other univeral lands. In short, human are paying most attention to anything which is unknown and therefore cannot be understood by modern people and the mainstream knowledge. People do know where they have come to the Earth and why their purpose is Earth. Although the theory of evolution, written by Darwin, has changed people's mind to this question, after all it is indeed a theory which cannot be expalined by an exact experiment like the fields of science, or other mainstream areas. Considering this question, people are far more preferring the knoledge of nonmainstream to satisfy their craving for unknown world.

In addition, the use of nonmainstream knowledge is more often than not a addition for the mainstream. From old time to now, human-beings are accustomed to own the hope to explain everthing which they cannot obtain the totally answer. Because of this habit, when people encountered some problems like the question that where is UFO from, where did human come from, what the picture about future life. All these above questions have always stayed with person and the development of mainstream science. People like exploring the unknown areas and hate presenting their ignorance, and people have to rely on the nonmainstream areas due to this cause. In the field of astrology, it answers the question about the origiin of human-beings; the fortune-telling makes people to diminish their worry about their descendants or to save time to enjoy mostly their life now considering with the advent of disaster of Earth; the field of psychic can make people understand the unknown area about the brains which has not been exactly explained by medical science.

In fact, the nonmainstream areas are always accompanying with mainstream science. When people comes to this world, they cannot understand the whole world, and therefore they believe they belong to the few proportion of human and inhabitants. Yet, after the development of mainstream science, such as physics, people can know the Earth is round and they can manufacture a boat from the West to East or from South to North. The question contained in human mind has been resolved and people entered into a new nonmainstream area, for example, the question about the world of further universe. In retrospect with old times, the nonmainstream are is always followed with the progress of mainstream science.

In conclusion, the scarce of knowledge about the world or other untouched one has requested human to take advantage of nonmainstream knowledge, withouth it they cannot satisfy their greed for the totally knoledge owned by them. Not only can the mainstream science satisfy people needs, but the nonmainstream knowledge can do either.

Camparing nonmainstream areas with mainstream science, in my eyes, I concede that sometimes people  prefer resolving problems with nonmainstream knowledge. However, I strongly disgree with the speaker's evaluation which highly emphasize the benefits from nonmainstream knowledge(我觉得题目没有表现出明显的倾向，只是说important role，而你这里说benefit倾向就太明显了） and even make it play a vital role in human society.

Firstly, I would like to explain why human are depending on which（这个不能当宾语吧，一般用what） they need nonmainstream fields, such as astrology, fortune-telling, psychic or other paranormal scales to satisfy their requirements for the problems. No matter what knowledge is included in mainstream or nonmainstrain, it acturally plays a vital role in its own area. Consider, for example, fortune-telling, the area of making an illusion toward future life, is acturally to satisfy human who are contious（conscious？） about future containing their descendants' life, the future technology, or even whether human can fly to outworld on Mars or like other univer（s）al lands. In short, human are paying most attention to anything which is unknown and therefore cannot be understood by modern people and the mainstream knowledge. People do know where they have come to the Earth and why their purpose is Earth（什么意思？没看懂）. Although the theory of evolution, written by Darwin, has changed people's mind to this question, after all it is indeed a theory which cannot be expalined by an exact experiment like the fields of science, or other mainstream areas（不太对吧，现在有很多证据可以在一定程度上证明进化论，虽然还没有完全定论）. Considering this question, people are far more preferring the knoledge of nonmainstream to satisfy their craving for unknown world.（感觉你只说了进化论一个例子来说主流解决不了一些未知的东西，而且例子还存在争议，靠这个恐怕不能有效的说明人们更喜欢迷信吧）

In addition, the use of nonmainstream knowledge is more often than not a addition for the mainstream. From old time to now, human-beings are accustomed to own the hope to explain everthing which they cannot obtain the totally（形容词） answer. Because of this habit, when people encountered some problems like the question that where is UFO from（这个跟迷信也有关？）, where did human come from, what the picture about future life. All these above questions have always stayed with person and the development of mainstream science. People like exploring the unknown areas and hate presenting their ignorance, and people have to rely on the nonmainstream areas due to this cause. In the field of astrology, it answers the question about the origiin of human-beings; the fortune-telling makes people to diminish their worry about their descendants or to save time to enjoy mostly their life now considering with the advent of disaster of Earth; the field of psychic can make people understand the unknown area about the brains which has not been exactly explained by medical science.（感觉主要内容和TS不一致，TS是讲非主流是主流科学的补充，可是后面基本上讲的是非主流给人以安慰）

In fact, the nonmainstream areas are always accompanying with mainstream science. When people comes to this world, they cannot understand the whole world, and therefore they believe they belong to the few proportion of human and inhabitants. Yet, after the development of mainstream science, such as physics, people can know the Earth is round and they can manufacture a boat from the West to East or from South to North. The question contained in human mind has been resolved and people entered into a new nonmainstream area, for example, the question about the world of further universe. In retrospect with old times, the nonmainstream are is always followed with the progress of mainstream science.（感觉主要论证部分只说了一半，就是主流科学解决了人类的疑惑，可是为什么和非主流相伴呢？除了头尾的TS中间根本没有提到）

In conclusion, the scarce of knowledge about the world or other untouched one has requested human to take advantage of nonmainstream knowledge, withouth it they cannot satisfy their greed for the totally（还是形容词问题） knoledge owned by them. Not only can the mainstream science satisfy people needs, but the nonmainstream knowledge can do either.

感觉maya大哥的这篇水平比之前有下降，语法错误和逻辑承接都差些。状态不好吗？加油哦。
