考研英语写作——宫东风推荐20篇背诵作文 Book Knowledge vs. Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books，teachers and practical experience，and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime，just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore，we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way，we won‘t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience，on the other hand，can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing，and I believe that this is true，whether one is successful or not. In fact，I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover，if one wants to make new advances，it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally，one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience，making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However，unless it is applied to real experiences，book knowledge remains theoretical and，in the end，is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
2004年8月6日 The Advantages of Saving Money
Everyone must work to live，but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income？While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire，I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.
By saving money，people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future；perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition，saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away. For example，they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally，he practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.
Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However，if we learn to save our money，we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and，thus，happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.

存钱的好处
每个人都必须工作以求生存，但是有许多人很幸运，能够赚得比他们立即需要的还要多的钱。他们应该如何处理这些额外的收入呢？尽管把钱全花在自己想买的东西上是很诱人的，但我认为最好至少把一部分的额外收入存起来，以备将来之需。
通过存钱，人们能获得更多的安全感。未来是无法预测的，或许有一天我们会失业。碰到像这样的情况，存款可以让我们免去许多痛苦，帮助我们渡过难关。此外，存钱可以使人积累较多的钱，可以用于买更有价值的东西，比马上把钱花掉所能买到的东西更有用。例如，我们可以用存款买房子。最后，存钱能帮助我们培养设定目标及为未来作计划的习惯。如此一来，我们一定会过着更有意义并且更成功的生活。
大部分的人会想要马上享用手边的钱。没有人想等到以后再买想要的东西。然而，如果我们学会存钱，未来可以获得更多的好处。我们将过着更有安全感而且更快乐的生活。我们也能购买我们真正想要但现在无法负担的东西。
2004年8月7日 Never，Never Give Up
We often hear people say，Never give up.These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion，the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore，I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily，we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new，so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides，if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again，the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally，we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals，we develop confidence，and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves，we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short，it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not，we will learn something，and what we learn will help us to become better，more confident people. Furthermore，if we give up，we have non chance of attaining our goals，but if we keep trying，there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

永不放弃
我们常听到人们说：永远不要放弃。这句话可能是要鼓励别人，也可能是表示自己的决心。相信自己的人，不管经历多少次失败，都会不断试着要达到目标。我认为，有成功的决心是每个人都应该有的重要特质。因此，我认为我们应该永不放弃。
其中一个理由是，如果我们太轻易放弃，就几乎无法完成任何事。我们第一次尝试新事物会失败，这是很平常的事，所以我们不应感到气馁，而应该要再试一次。而且，如果我们总是一失败就放弃，就无法培养新技能并且不断地成长。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是，只有再努力一次才能从错误中学习。如果我们不再试一次，那么我们所学到的教训就白白浪费了。最后，我们应该永不放弃，因为当我们努力达到目标的时候，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们不挑战自我，我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。
简言之，当我们努力追求目标时，永不放弃是很重要的。不管最后有没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们所学到的东西，将会使自己成为一个更好、更有自信的人。而且，如果放弃的话，我们就没有机会达到目标。但是如果能不断地尝试，总有一天我们一定会有机会成功的。
2004年8月8日 The Effects of Technology on Learning
The technological advances of the last few years have been amazing. Never before have students had such a wide variety of resources to help them in their studies. Those who can take advantage of these resources have the opportunity to learn about more subjects and to acquire more in-depth knowledge. In my opinion，students can indeed learn more and learn more quickly with the help of modern technology.
The piece of technology most important as a learning tool must be the computer. Paired with the Internet，it allows students to research topics more quickly and thoroughly and to write up their findings more rapidly as well. Furthermore，advances in many fields are being made so fast these days that it is impossible four textbooks to keep up. Technology allows students to keep abreast of the latest developments. Also，it cannot be denied that many students enjoy using such resources in their studies. Because of this，they are more likely to pursue subjects in greater depth.
For all these reasons，I believe that technology is of great benefit to today‘s students. Of course，it is still possible to learn without the aid of such devices，but I believe that those students who are fortunate enough to have access to technological resources should take every advantage of them.

科技对学习的影响
近几年来，科技方面的进步相当惊人。学生从来没有过这么多各种各样的资源来帮助他们学习。能够利用这些资源的人有机会学习更多的课题，并获得更深入的知识。依我之见，有了现代科技的协助，学习确实能够学得更多，而且学得更快。
科技上最重要的学习工具非电脑莫属。电脑搭配互联网的使用，使得学生能够更快速、更彻底地研究他们的课题，也能更迅速地详细写出他们的发现。此外，目前许多领域都进步神速，教科书根本不可能跟得上，而科技让学生能够跟得上最新的发展。并且，不可否认的是，许多学生在学习时也非常喜欢使用这样的资源。这样，他们较有可能更深入地研究各种课题。
基于这些理由，我相信科技对现今的学生有极大的帮助。当然，没有这些设备的协助也是有可能学习的。但我认为，那些有幸能够使用科技资源的学生都应该善于利用这些资源。
2004年8月9日 Saving Land for Endangered Animals
There is only so much land on the earth，and so what we can do with it is limited. Some people believe that human needs for farmland，housing and industry should come first，while others believe that some land should be set aside for endangered animals. I am of the opinion that we should reserve some land for the world‘s animals for the following reasons.
First，mankind‘s need for land is constantly growing. If the demand is not checked in some way，humans will eventually develop all of the earth’s available land. At that time，mankind will have no more room to grow，and all the wild animals will have disappeared，as well as other valuable resources. Second，humans are able to innovate and can use the land that they already pssess in more efficient ways. Animals are unable to do this. Once their land is taken away from them they will die. Third and last，endangered animals are an important part of the biodiversity of our planet. If they disappear，we cannot predict what the effect will be. Therefore，we should treat such animals as a valuable resource to be protected.
To sum up，the world‘s endangered animals are an important resource and we should protect them by setting aside some land for them. Although mankind’s need for land continues to grow，people are intelligent and inventive enough to put the land they have to better use. In this way，we can have enough land for farming，housing and industry，and preserve the biodiversity of the planet at the same time.

保留土地给濒临绝种的动物
地球上的土地就只有这么多，所以我们可以利用土地的方式有限。有些人认为人类对于耕地、居住以及工业的需求应该摆在第一位，但是有人则认为，有些土地应该留给濒临绝种的动物。我的看法是，基于下列的理由，我们应该保留一些土地给地球上的动物。
首先，人类对土地的需求在不断增加。如果这些需求不以某种方式来加以抑制，人类最后将会开发完地球上所有可用的土地。到那时候，人类将没有栽种作物的空间，而且全部的野生动物将会和其他宝贵的资源一样消失殆尽。其次，人类可以创新并且以更有效率的方式来使用已经拥有的土地，动物则无法做到这一点。一旦土地被剥夺，它们就会死亡。第三点，也是最后一点，濒临绝种的动物是我们地球上物种多元性的重要组成部分。如果它们消失了，我们无法预测将会造成什么样有影响。因此，我们应该把这些动物视为需要保护的珍贵资源。
总之，全世界濒临绝种的动物都是一项重要的资源，我们应该加以保护，并且保留一些土地给它们。虽然人类对于土地的需求在持续增加，但人类很聪明，而且具有创造力，能够更充分利用所拥有的土地。如此一来，我们会有足够的土地耕种、居住，并用来发展工业，而且能同时保持地球物种的多元性。
2004年8月10日 An Important Skill
The world today is a very competitive place. Therefore，it is necessary to develop some skills to increase one‘s chances of success. Many skills，for example，leadership，a second language，and technical skills such as computer programming，are very useful today. However，I believe that the most useful skill is the ability to communicate well with others.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of good communication skills. In today‘s society we have to work cooperatively with others. A good communicator finds it easier to put forth his ideas clearly. In this way there will be fewer misunderstandings，which can lead to bad feelings as well as lost time and effort. In addition，a person with good communication skills is a good mediator and negotiator. He or she can play a valuable role in resolving disputes and enhancing cooperation. This means that a good communicator is often a natural leader. Finally，with good communication skills，it is easier to persuade others to accept your point of view. Having your views and plans approved of by others is a vital step on the way to success.
For all the above reasons，it is my belief that strong communication skills are the most important to have. Good communication is important in all situations，so a skillful communicator will always be in high demand.

一项重要的技能
现今的世界竞争十分激烈，因此，必须培养一些技能以增加自己成功的机会。许多技能，如领导能力、第二语言能力，以及技术能力，如电脑程式设计等，现在都非常有用。然而，我认为最有用的技能是擅长和别人沟通的能力。
良好的沟通技巧，其重要性再怎么强调也不为过。在现今的社会中，我们必须与他人合作。擅长沟通的人比较容易能将自己的意见清楚地表达出来。如此一来，便能减少误会，以免造成不良的感觉，甚至浪费时间和力气。此外，具有良好沟通技巧的人会是一个优秀的调停者与协商者，在解决纷争、加强合作时可以扮演重要的角色。这就表示，善于沟通的人常常就是天生的领导者。最后，具有良好的沟通技巧使你比较容易说服别人来接受你的观点，而你的意见和计划能被别人认同是迈向成功很重要的一步。
基于上述理由，我相信，卓越的沟通技巧是最重要的必备技能。良好的沟通在所有的情况中都非常重要。所以，善于沟通的人总是非常受欢迎的。

书本知识与实际经验
获得知识的来源有很多，其中包括书本、老师，以及实际经验，而每一种都有其优点。从书本上及正规教育中所获得的知识使我们知道在日常生活中没有机会亲身去体验的事。通过读书，我们可以研究世界各地的资料，还可以向不曾谋面的人学习。我们也可以培养分析的技巧，并学习如何以不同的方式去观察并理解周围的世界。此外，我们可以通过读书，从历史中获取教训。如此一来，就不会再重复别人的错误，并且能够以他人的成就作为我们行动的基础。
另一方面，实际经验能够给我们更多有用的知识。大家都说从做中学的效果最好，我也认为的确如此，无论一个人成功与否。事实上，我认为犯错是最好的学习方式。此外，如果想要有新的进展，就必须要付诸行动。想要创新，只靠阅读是不够的，必须要去实践。最后，我们可以将通过读书所获得的技巧和见解应用于实际经验中，使得原本有意义的经验变得更有意义。不过，除非我们能将书本知识运用于实际经验中，否则书本知识终究仍只是理论，毫无用处。那就是为什么我会认为从实际经验中获得的知识比从书本中所得到的知识更为重要。
