参考分析:
一定程度上,同意这个说法。(In a sense, it is true that…)
阅读并理解(Comprehend)的能力,在信息过度丰富的今天,更加重要。现代人的阅读量要比过去高出许多倍(过去大学生就是很高的学历,现在博士后[postdoctoral]才算是高学历)。需要更多的能力去辨别真伪。
写作的能力更是如此,比如在工作中,写报告是一项重要内容,公司的规模越大,越是如此。没有写作能力,就等于没有升迁机会。
163、同意读和写的能力要比以前更加重要
(1)不能读和写无法找到工作。在现在绝大多数工作都要会读会写
(2)不能读和写无法获得更多的信息。很多信息在报纸上,不能读写无法获得信息 (3)不能读和写无法交朋友。因为人都是受过教育的,不喜欢和不会写和读的人交流
3. Some people think that it is necessary for people to learn to play one type of musical instrument. Others don’t think so. What is your opinion and why? Include details and examples in your explanation. ★ [2006.12.15] 4. What new skill would you like to learn? Explain why this skill would be good for you to have. Include details and examples in your explanation.
I would like to learn how to play soccer. Now I can only play table tennis, so this would be a new challenge for me. It would be a good skill to have because I could have very good exercises and build up my muscles. Also I could join a soccer team and play with my team members. Maybe I could make big fortune when I become a star player. Finally, I might be able to meet some friends of the same interest. That‟s really cool.
I would like to learn how to play the guitar. It would be a good skill to have because I could take my guitar to parties and play music for my friends. My favourite song is yesterday from Beattles. Also, I could join a band and play songs with other musicians. Maybe I could make money that way. And somehow become a superstar! Finally, I might be able to meet some other friends of the same interest. That‟s cool.
