Issue48 0806G加速度小组第三次作业 TOPIC: ISSUE48 - "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."WORDS: 602 TIME: 01:04:19 DATE: 2008/1/19 16:46:04When I was still a young boy, my mother often told the stories about Chair Mao(毛主席应该是Chairman Mao) and Abraham Lincoln, who in her mind are heroes that changed the way the stream of history flows by themselves and I was taught to (be) a man like them. In the statement, however, it claims that it is the groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten that made the most significant events and trends in history instead of the famous few, which I take the leave to doubt, in(大写) my viewpoint, in some cases it is the famous few who did that while in others cases the groups of people are the main force.(这段感觉怪怪的。。。前面说从小就受到这样的教育,现在看到statement里面的说法,然后就突然变成两面派的观点了~。~!觉得前后的逻辑有点突然。。。还有就是我不知道在哪本书上看见一个tips,说最好不要写自己的经历)On the one hand, it is the famous individuals who changed the world in the way which they think are right. Take Albert Einstein, the man who is widely consider(considered) the most valuable in the 20th century as an example. At his time(In his time吧?), physics(要大写) had come to a point that (这里少了个主语) anxiously needs a significant change from the basic in order to explain some phenomenon that could not be solved by Newton's theory. With the famous "general and special theory of relativity", Einstein not only solved the difficulties but also made the modern civilization possible in aspects such as the widely use of nuclear energy and space flying. Is there a group of people behind him when he came up with the glorious theories? No,(No就已经是一个句子了,所以要用句号)maybe(大写)you may think it is too absolute; I have to admit that some people really did give him some help at that time, but it has nothing to do with his work and it explains why the Nobel Price was given to him alone fairly well. On the other hand, some groups of people behind the heroes actually plays a more important role in the significant events in some cases in history. Sometimes it is the hero who makes the decision of an event, but whether the order could be well accomplished depends on the men who actually do it. As we all know that (这里句法错了,As we all know, ….或者It is known to all that…)the battles in China were the most fierce ones in the Second World War then, with the orders of unite all kinds of political parties to resist the Japanese, Chair Mao really did make a difference, and when we talked about that periods in history, we remembered Chair Mao as the one who defeated the Japanese, however, what we fails to see is that millions of Chinese soldiers died in the battles against the Japanese, they sacrificed their lives in order to save the country they loved deeply with no haste. Although their identities are forgotten, what we have to keep in mind is that without them, nothing could really be done under the notion that "beat the Japanese" at that time, they are also the heroes. In the United States, it is the president who makes the final decision when the country is faced with difficulties and dangers, we really appreciate them for their intelligence and determination while we naturally ignores those who give him the suggestions and information that help him greatly before the final decision is made. It seems that it has become a "law" for us to forget the people who really make through the events in history and only remember the one who is actually the "represent" of them.In sum, next time when your mother(我觉得前后不是非常对照,第一是my mother tells me,这一段怎么变成when your mother了。。。) tell you the stories about the famous people, try to ask her whether there are the ones behind him which are ignored by us and keep in mind that history sometimes is written by some heroes and sometimes not. |
