最近一直在写提纲,全文的写作才刚刚开始.昨天就136写了一下,居然只用了25分钟就写了第一篇.:confused:不过感觉太糟糕了,又重改了一下.结果虽然是全盘推翻,还是感觉不对,就是说不出是哪里的问题.还望大家多多指教呀!:handshake
136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
"How do I go to school?" "Where should I go shopping?" Every day, we encounter a variety of situations which are waiting for us to make choices. The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare to individuals. However, when it comes to nations, the possibility is a little bit higher.
For individuals, the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. Although it is true that we can not choose our parents and other relatives, we could choose our soul mates, our career freely. Making choices especially in circumstances that are vital to us all our lives is especially important because it is ourselves, rather than anyone else that decide our destinies. Even sometimes people are not easily to make their choices freely, they are struggling for such kind of rights. For example, in the past, women were despised and often deprived of the right of education, vote, even the right to choose a husband. Therefore, they were struggling for their rights all the time and reached final success. Nowadays, women are treated equal to men in many situation and they are free to make choices by themselves.
For nations, especially democratic ones which represent the interest of the majority of its people, the chance of absence of choice could be higher. It is the accounts of its people that make the difference. In many cases, the nation has no choice when considering the interest of most people. When invaded by foreigners, the nation could do nothing but resist. When civil strife arises, the nation has no choice but quench it. Because only through such kind of procedures could the nation keep its dignity and secure its people. Meanwhile, the nation could have various choices in other circumstances like choosing the president, choosing partners for trades, etc.
In sum, the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare to individuals. However, when it comes to nations especially democratic ones, the possibility is a little bit higher.
Issue 136改后稿:
136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
"Where should I go shopping?" "What should I have for lunch?" Every day, we encounter a lot of situations like these which are waiting for us to make choices. Meanwhile, we are always hearing people complaining that they have no choice in doing something. As far as I am concerned, the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare.
Admittedly, the circumstances in which we are absent of choice do exist. We could not choose our parents and other relatives, nor could we choose the place where we were born. However, in most cases, when people complain that they have no choice but do something, it is actually that they have no better choice rather than no choice. When a graduate finally chooses a small company with low wage, he complains that he has no choice after taking thousands of interviews and with only one offer. In fact, it is the high expectation to the future that make him neglects other possible choices like staying at home or going on job-hunting which are too disappointing that he even does not regard them as choices. When an executive in a business company brings a great loss to the company by using a risky strategy, he asserts that he has no choice but to resign. Otherwise, he could also be fired by the company. Again, instead of having no choice, the executive choose to resign which seems better than to stay. Therefore, the absence of choice in a circumstance is very rare and we should not mistake no better choice for no choice.
The development of science and technology together with the improvement of our society and the whole world is changing the situation of no choices or few choices and providing us with more and more choices. When traveling from one place to another, we could choose to by air, car, train or ship rather than on foot which might be the only choices in the past. In a democratic country, women are free to make choices in many situations like choosing their work and study places or choosing the president of the nation. While in the past, women were despised and even deprived the right of choosing their husbands. With the development of foreign trade today, people have much more choices in the goods. While in the past, the domestic trade market was not even formed which caused a shortage of goods. In the future, it seems that we could only have too many choices instead of no choices.
In sum, absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. The development of our society is providing us with more and more choices and makes it a better world.
