【模拟训练参考作文10】By Phone or by Letter

 

Some people like to communicate by telephone. Others like to communicate b

y letter. Both communications by phone and by letter have their advantages. Whet

her I prefer to communicate by phone or letter just depends on what kind of mess

ages I need to pass.

 

Time is money.

时间是金钱。

 

It is much more convenient to communicate with others by telephone when yo

u have something urgent. For instance, when you are short of money at the univer

sity and are anxious to ask your parents for help. You can get through easily an

d talk with them immediately if you dial the right number. But a letter will tak

e several days before it reaches the destination and returns to you. For message

s of urgency, telephone appears favorable. Besides, you save the trouble to spen

d time writing. Whats more, you can hear the voice. Telephone can keep people i

n touch with each other easily. On the other hand, telephone sometimes seems les

s formal, and to some extent it makes people lazy. Most people would rather choo

se to pick up the telephone for communication.

However, letters may do a better job when you have a lot to express to som

eone. Generally, people like to read letters from friends or relatives. For exam

ple, my parents are always looking forward to letters from me. To them, letters

can express more than the message, such as emotions, respect, etc. Secondly, let

ters seem formal. Thirdly, letter writing serves as an effective way to improve

our writing skill though it takes time to organize ones thoughts and express th

em clearly and logically. In addition, we can keep letters and read them again a

nd again.

So, I prefer to use telephone when I have something urgent or less formal;

 I choose to write letters to keep contact with my friends for messages of no ur

gency.

 

Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.

没有知识的热心犹如没有光的火。

My View on Competition

 

It is natural that people try to perform better than each other at everything th

ey do. That is competition. Competition is an important element in social develo

pment. It is found everywhere because it is human inborn nature to long for the

better. On the other hand, some people dislike it because it makes it difficult

for them to survive in fierce competition.

It is true that competition benefits us in many ways. First it makes people crea

tive and urges people to pursue for the excellence. Second, competition makes th

e world develop rapidly. It keeps on bringing us better things like advanced com

municative means. Owing to competition in the last twenty years, great many favo

rable changes have taken place everywhere in China. Peoples living standards ha

ve improved a lot. Many people are fond of competition because it enables them t

o bring their knowledge or skills into full play. If you want to lead a prospero

us life, you have to perform much better than others.

I think competition is equal and fair to everyone. If you want to stay competent

, or if you are not satisfied with your present condition, you have to work hard

 to improve it. Without competition, people would remain idle and have no ambiti

on. Therefore, competition means progress.

 

Time past cannot be called back again. 

光阴一去不复返。
