The author asserts that the mostsignificant matters and trends in history were made by groups of people but notby the celebrated few. I agree with author's opinion basically.(开头似乎略显单薄,可以给出自己不同意作者的地方,再简要介绍一下各段观点,条理更清楚)
To begin with, we should not fail to takeaccount into the fact that our society does pay too much attention on fewfamous individuals. We can find a few celebrated person appear in every where,such as history textbooks, advertisements, movies, that engage every people tolearn from them. However, probably this measure cannot obtain achievement aspeople expected. As for students, they will become fantastic about the superiorauthority and fortune which absolutely do harm to their study. For adults, themajority of them possibly lose self-confidence due to the fact that they cannotget achievement like those famous one in lifetime. So, our society should notemphasis too much on individuals and totally ignores groups of people whoseidentities have been forgotten for a long period. (这段的论据似乎是建立在假设上的,如果能提供点真实的事例说明人们的确只记住了名人,论点会更有说服力)
Groups of people, who are not attractingpopulace than famous ones, are the truly mainstream energy that made the mostimportant events and trend in history. A simple example can illustrate thisassertion profoundly. As we know, Bill Gates, who own the largest fortune inthe worldwide, is well-known in respect of creating the largest company,Microsoft Empire, change the whole society into digital times. Though he is themost contributes one to society, we should not ignore importance of groupsbehind him. It these groups, who invent so many superior operating system like"vista", create mythology of Microsoft and exert position effect ondigital technology. (这段论证比较合理,但还是显得不充分,group people起的左右只点了一句话——他们发明了vista,还可以说点其他作用,比如没有这些人怎样,某个部门又起了什么至关重要的作用而并非他一人能为,等等。还有每段结尾都可以总结一下这段如何支持论点,文章显得更加有力)
Furthermore, in the past years, it was alsogroups of people contribute to society and made the tendency of history. Thoseexcellent politicians, such as Chair Mao, Washington, Martin Luther King, wereprovided by groups of people to help these leader take measures, establishpolicy and even fight for civil rights. Set Martin Luther King as an example.Martin, who is the first black leader in history, was celebrated as fighting forright of black race in the racialism times. Finally, he obtained successbecause of effort of himself and the most important factor is that there werethousand of millions black people, who forget dangerous of life, to supporthim. Thus, we shouldn't merely emphasis the importance of few famous ones.
(这段也和上段差不多,就是真正起到支持论点作用的论证只有一句——有很多人支持他,前面叙述可以尽量简洁,再多分析一下人们如何支持的,离开他们会怎样,这样更充分)
To draw a conclusion, when comes to themost significant events and trend in history, we should conceive a balanceopinion about the celebrated individuals and groups who maybe have beenforgotten
我主要是从结构和逻辑上修改,一些语病和语言就请楼主自己检查。第一次限时这样已经很不错了,结构基本合理,只是论述还欠充分,也可能是写的速度太慢,正常的,多练就好,还有楼主贴子老是会把词连在一起,比如最后一个词beenforgotten,不是太方便阅读,希望注意。另外感谢楼主对我文章的细心修改,使我受益匪浅哈!
