TOPIC: 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."
WORDS: 458         TIME: 上午 00:47:00          DATE: 2007-1-24
观点:承认电视在某些方面是可以获得知识,但是反对和书本学得的一样多.
1.       无可否认,人们可以从电视中学得知识.e.g. be familiar with Hawaii that we have never visited,并且由于电视的特点:及时timely,直观,形象lifelike,生动vivid.我们可以更容易掌握某些知识.e.g. information of Presidential election, 科技发展
2.       电视也有缺点:除了depend on electricity, access to airwaves, potential radiation之外,电视台考虑观众的年龄教育,withhold了部分内容,因此不如书本知识全面
3.       书本有电视无法替代的优点:便携(portable),可以交叉查阅(cross-reference),随时再读(re-read或review)

According to this statement, the speaker claims that people can learn as much as by watching television as they can by reading books, consequently reading books is not as significant as before. I tend to disagree with the speaker that reading books is still the primary means of learning though people can also learn by watching television.

Admittedly, people can learn much by watching television in some respects which are of timely and spatial information. Because television is more advanced in transmitting temporal and spatial information, people can learn easier in some spatial and temporal knowledge. Consider, for example, people can be familiar with Hawaii where he or she has never been to by watching television. And he or she can know the scenery and customs of Hawaii much better by watching vivid and lifelike television program. Moreover, people can learn the latest news and information though watching television. For example, we can learn the latest result of the nationally Presidential Election. Or we can know the latest outcome of high-technological researches such as certain medicine in curing AIDS. Thus, we can learn a lot information and knowledge through watching television.

However, there are several shortcomings of learning by watching television. First, learning by watching television depends on electricity, access to airwaves or cable connections, without which we can not learn effectively and continuously. Second, according to a recent study of long-time watching television by University of Michigan, if we learn several hours per day in front of television, we are more likely to be myopia or some other illness due to the radiation of television. Finally, considering audiences of television are with different ages from kids to the aged and they are with different degrees of education, thus the television station withholds some information of the television programs. Therefore, people can not be access to a complete information or knowledge in some respects.

In addition, reading books as the primary ways of learning in current society has lots of advantages that can never be attained by watching television. First of all, learning through reading books is more systematic and can be access to more complete information than learning by watching television. Second, the books are more portable than the television machine which also depends on electricity and airwaves. Third, books can be re-read and reviewed whenever we want to and they are more convenient for cross-reference. Thus, as the primary ways of learning, learning by reading books can not be replaced by watching television nowadays.

In the final analysis, though learning by watching television is effective in certain respects, reading books is still the most significant means of learning. Thus, in order to learn effectively and conveniently, we should combine learning by reading books and watching television.

就提纲来看，我觉得第2部分，就是“2.       电视也有缺点:除了depend on electricity, access to airwaves, potential radiation之外,电视台考虑观众的年龄教育,withhold了部分内容,因此不如书本知识全面”有些WEAK。
电视台WITHHOLD了内容并不足以支撑书本知识更全面的论点，再怎么说每一本书都是作者的主观成果。但是电视获得的知识和我们通常通过书本学习的知识，特别是学术、理论方面的确实存在很大的不同，比如说深度之类。可以再探讨一下。而且好象扯到RADIATION有点远了吧？

【今天在书店翻了下书，研究了下怎么破题。偶热炒热卖，嘿嘿。自己昨天也写得烂:p 】
【分析：当I的题目一般有几句话时，里面肯定有的话如果要讨论范围很大很空，而总有那么一句话将话题限制在一定的范围内。这句话才是ETS真正想我们甩开膀子写的。拿这道题来说，第一句important是个很抽象的词，不同的人对important的标准很可能不同，要讨论谁是谁非就很困难。这样的句子其实是ETS做的题目的客观背景（事实）介绍，帮助我们理解核心句子。而后面一句一个much马上把范围具体化，我们就可以balabala随便列例子来论证了。所以这道题重点我们重点该讨论后半句，即看电视有没有读书学得多，所以每段展开都应该是对比，比如说视觉效果对比一段，知识全面性对比一段，方便性对比一段】

According to this statement, the speaker claims that people can learn as much as by watching television as they can by reading books, consequently reading books is not as significant as before. I tend to disagree with the speaker that reading books is still the primary means of learning though people can also learn by watching television.

Admittedly, people can learn much by watching television in some respects which are of timely and spatial information. Because television is more advanced in transmitting temporal and spatial information, people can learn easier in some spatial and temporal knowledge. Consider【consider没有这样用的吧，del就行了】, for example, people can be familiar with Hawaii where he or she has never been to by watching television【跟前面一个意群混到一块儿了，很不自然，by…提到people之前吧】. And he or she can know the scenery and customs of Hawaii much better by watching vivid and lifelike television program.

In addition, reading books as the primary ways of learning in current society has lots of advantages that can never be attained by watching television.
