题目：ISSUE38 - "In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books."

Watching television or reading books, which is the more effective way to get information or learning knowledge? Different perspective leads to different answer. To my own view, I would prefer to choose reading books as the better way.

Admittedly, television is an amazing tool to inform large amount of information and knowledge, and it is vivid with lots of pictures and animations which are more direct perceived by us. Everyday news is broadcasted from morning to midnight, it includes almost all the important and interesting events. When it comes to secret nature, there are many scientific programs such as National Geography, Discovery which is get popular among the whole world. Furthermore, there are more and more video lecture for teaching special disciplines like computer technology, foreign languages, even the rituals and dressing for commercial meeting. With the large scale of television can provide, we can define it without any overstate, as a box conclude everything in the cosmic we known.

Although with so many advances, television has its inner flaws cannot be avoid by us, which can be dealt well by the books. When it comes to its advantage that providing the large amount of information, this is also a defect which can cause our repulsion. That is because of its inefficiency, we all know there are too many advertisement which annoyed us deeply. Yet to the same effect, the information which is useless to us will waste our time enormously, rather than to offer us knowledge. Unlike the books, acquired by our inclinations, serve us better. Even when we get weary, we can skim to read the next part or go straight to the page we want to read. But to television, the only things we can do is turn to other program or shut it down, thus the remained part will be missed. So for better learning on TV, we must wait in front of the television and be settled to catch the every minute.

The second advantage, books can provide is that they can be easily reviewed by your wishes. When it comes to television, in the first time we may not understand the speaker's view, and than we need to wait for the second time for review, though consuming the time, the misunderstanding may still confuse us. Yet books can make it better for us, for the reason we can make the note or write down the viewpoint in our mind rather than forget it as TV does, in this way can make us to comprehend the knowledge thoroughly, and review it after many years can be possible.

In recent years, by the development of technology, a new electronic book which combine the function of TV and books have been invented. It likes a book with the function of provide us pictures and videos. It main part is constructed by letters, and using the picture and video as assistant tool.

In sum, the television is become a indispensable part of our lives, we can get the information from it easily at our lunch time or spare time, but it still can not replace the books especially for our study and learning. We can get promoted by use both two way, but too much watching TV helps little for it waste too much times and hardly can be reviewed, therefore most of our time must be take on the books reading.
提纲：
ISSUE95 - "People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does."

人们在团队中工作比独立工作要更加有效率。团队协作需要的合作能够比个人间的竞争更加激励人们。

1.       In some jobs productivity clearly depends on the ability of coworkers to cooperate as members of a team.

2.       In other types of jobs individual competition, tenacity and ambition are key to productivity.

3.       On balance, however, my view is that cooperation is more crucial for an organization’s long-term productivity than individual competition.

ISSUE235 - "Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty-whether to one's friends, to one's school or place of employment, or to any institution-is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force."

大多数人被告知忠诚是一种美德。但是无论是对朋友、对学校、对单位还是对任何机构，忠诚时常都是弊大于利的。

1.       First consider the ways in which loyalty, if exercised in proper measure and direction, can be a positive force.

2.       On the other hand, if misguided or overextended loyalty can amount to divisive and destructive force.

ISSUE175 - "It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual."

革新的动力往往来自于个人；革新的细节可能来自于团队，但是实质的革新都是个人努力和独特思维的结果。

1.       With respect to business innovation, I agree that it is the vision and commitment of key individuals—such as a firm’s founder or chief executive—from which business burgeon and innovative products, services, and marketing and management strategies emerge.

2.       Nevertheless, teamwork and individual enterprise are not necessarily inconsistent, as the speaker would have us believe.

ISSUE93 - "The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making."

个人责任的概念是一种很必要的虚构。尽管社会必须让个人对他们自己的行为负责，但是人们的行为很大程度上不是自己能够左右的。

1.       The claim that individual responsibility is a necessary fictions has some merit in that a society where individuals are not held accountable for their actions and choices is a lawless one, devoid of any order whatsoever.

2.       A correlative argument for individual responsibility involves the fact that lawless, or anarchist, states give way to despotic rule by strong individuals who seize power.

3.       As for the speaker’s second claim, it flies in the face of our everyday experiences in making choices and decisions.

分论点都很明确而且有一些论据，我感觉和我有同样的问题就是论证深度还不够，我觉得issue真的很难写，不知道怎么办。
