issue177 The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes.
The speakers(没有s) asserts that the study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world, and the world is the same as before while we are different in approaches to recognize it. I can't agree more with the first prong of the recommendation; however, I take exception with the second one since the world changes too.(表明自己观点,明确)
First of all, the study of an academic discipline alters our way of perceiving the world directly into a more abstract and instinctive way(是不是用one指代更好呢?). The study of mathematics, for example, has changed the methods of studying in many spheres. In astronomy, the discovery of new stars no more solely depends on the telescope, but also can be found (主语是discovery,我觉得用一个表示“执行”的词可能更好,如actualize)by performing mathematic calculation(多次计算是不是用复数更好呢?), which helped us to find Neptune(我觉得用have already helped us 更好些,表示已发生了). In economy(经济学用economics), the discipline(窃以为“应用”用application更好些) of math played an even more important part since it is always a good(effective) way to recognize the main factors which effects(没有s) the markets as well as anticipate the tendency of development. The study of academic discipline gives us different methods which make the recognition more efficient and deep(加er).
Also, we can find many examples in our daily life to support the assertion that academic discipline gives us different eyes to see the world. With the developing knowledge of biology, we see life-form(加s) from the outside size and color, to the cell, then (even)to the genetic level(前面cell等都是范围,在这最好用spectrum). We are never astonished at( are never afraid of ) the scurvy again(any longer) after we study some (much) of the discipline of medicine. In a short word, the academic discipline gives us a newer and deeper access to (insight into) the world.
On the other hand, however, the world is not as stable(不是说不稳定,强调变化,unalternable) as the speaker has proclaimed, it is changing all the time just as we are. Human activities not only add new things(ingredients) into this world, but also change the(its) original appearance. Our ancestors must never had (had never)imaged the innovations of(such as) the computer and web, nor had them ever anticipated the global-warming that (有that必须有is,或干脆不要that,过去分词作后置定语)caused by greenhouse gases. It is because of (强调句,没because of)our developing knowledge and interaction that make the world change day and night.
To sum up, the study of academic discipline gives us a better way to perceive the world which is also changing. (结尾~~简约了点,呵呵)
文章脉路很清楚,结构紧凑,值得学习啊 呵呵
