Some people spend more time reading books, while others prefer to

watch TV. The former group are more likely to develop creative

imaginations and have a much better grasp of language skills. Do you

agree or disagree?

Reading books and watching TV are two main channels to cultivate

imagination and develop language skills during people’s whole lives.

Nowadays, a controversial issue about whether individuals reading

books for enjoyment are more capable of practicing their vision and

taking a command of languages has been into fierce discussion. In my

opinion, reading can better people’s imagination and language abilities.

To begin with, from books, readers are able to grasp the author’s

concepts and ideas, This can be illustrated by Harry Porte which

plays a pivotal role in capturing readers’ imagination. Another merit of

reading is that people can hone their language abilities, especially in

expanding vocabulary and improving writing skills. For

instance,********The master piece reflects the author’s

Admittedly, watching television programs helps to practice viewers’

imagination as well as speaking and listening capabilities, which can be

illustrated by the authenticity and the vividness of such TV shows,

intensifying people’s appreciation abilities and encouraging the

audience’s imitation. Accordingly, individuals’ vision can be inspired and

their spoken language can be furthered. However, TV programs, mostly

TV episodes, are mainly originated from books and tend to just represent

the ideas of the directors. Consequently, watching such shows may stifle

televiewers’ creativity and imagination.

To sum up, although watching TV may have certain positive

impacts on viewers’ imagination and language skills, reading books are

able to develop individuals’ such capacities better, I believe, due to the

diversity and detailedness of books. The point is that people are supposed to read more, not regarding studying as a burden, but reading for pleasure,

which is the most important factor readers should consider.

It is said that work is the most important thing of people's life. Without

the success of career, life will become meaningless. To what extent do

you agree or disagree with the opinion?

Many of people in modern society devote a lot of time to working, since

they regard career success as the most significant part in life. However,

has it come to a point that it has taken over our life? This is the question

that requires a close examination.

No one can deny the importance of work to a person.

Obviously ,employment not only supports us and our families

economically, but also helps us establish our self-esteem and pride

when we see our job as an opportunity to make a contribution to our

community. In other words, we fulfill our social value through a job.

However, the belief that occupational endeavor makes our life

meaningful and rewarding does not necessarily lead to the assumption

that without a satisfying career, life is meaningless. Life is not only about

work. Instead, there are many other factors that influence our well-being.

Family life, personal hobbies, religious pursuit, friendship and even rest

and recreation also contribute to our happiness. If these aspects are not in

balance with working life, there can be little chance to embrace a

successful career. Those who overly focus on career tend to suffer from

some problems, such as health issues, fear of failure, bad interpersonal

relationship, materialism and so forth.(也可例举拓展)

All in all, while work is an important part of life, it is not the only

thing we have to do in our life. There are other things we can enjoy. The

key is the balance between working and personal life which helps us take

the most advantage of our mundane life.
