参考范文 | The lecturer talks about a research which states some negatives photographed in 1920 were not made by Adams. He says that the theory stated in the reading passage was different and somewhat inaccurate. First, the lecturer contradicts the issue that because a pine tree had once been in Adams’ other picture, this negative which also photographed the same pine tree was certainly belonged to Adam. The pine tree is in a park, a very famous tourist attraction, which attracts hundreds of visitors and many photographers have taken pictures of the pine tree before. The issue of the handwriting by Adam’s wife being used as a reason to classify the negative as works by Adam does not please the professor either. He says that there are spelling errors in the handwriting, but Adam’s wife was very familiar with the location and would never make such a mistake. Finally, the passage says that Adam’s studio was once on fire, and some traces on the film prove that they were once burned. However, the lecturer refutes that many studios used the chemical material in those negatives and they can easily cause fire, so a studio on fire during that time was very common. Thus, the evidence of the reading passage cannot be a strong one to show that the negative was belonged to Adam. |
参考范文 | In this highly developed and education-oriented society, a large number of children have been living under a great deal of academic pressure. Some were forced by their parents or schoolteachers to attend various learning programs and tutoring centers; others stayed up all night in order to catch up with and even exceed the top student in class. Pursuing of excellence and persisting in progress is understandable, a balance between structured learning and hobbies, however, in my personal perspective, is the top priority of children’s life. The most convincing reason lies in the fact that unstructured periods of exploration followed by children’s likes and dislikes can lead them to more novel and interesting ideas. Without unconventional associations in children’s life, they just devote their free time only to assignments and academic related activities, making their life dull and boring. Furthermore, their main concentration will only be paid to classes and homework, with the result that rarely will other colorful and splendid areas be into children’s life. For example, reading novels and watching drama tend to make them more reflective. And auditing for a musical or singing in a band may well give young people fresh means of self-expression. In addition, painting and sculpture can improve the emotional well being of students as they offer creative outlets for their energy, stress, tension or even aggressiveness.All these sort of activities will accustom students to flexible and inventive ways of thinking. For another, doing whatever children want serve as an effective way to release academic pressure. Every one has the experience about getting stressed out by classes, homework and compulsory school activities. They, during most of their time, are forced to sit still, shut up and listen while a grown-up scrawls about science in front of a blackboard and delivers monotonous math formula. However, they can definitely relax themselves when they spare some free time in playing a desktop card game with their friends, by which they have a chance to take the edge off anxiety and stress. Myself is a beneficiary of such relaxing. When listening to my favorite song with my cat curling up on my legs, I do not need to recall the involved history affairs into their mind, solve the complicated differential equations, or try to understand a knotty passage. Instead of adding more to memories, I bring something to enjoy. We cannot deny that each student wants to perform excellently in school and all parents desire their children to be successful in the future. To some extent, this may be true. However, they oversimplify the real situation and only by squeezing all children’s time to study and ignoring what they really want is not a feasible method to cultivate them into elites. Numerous examples have proven that a learning machine is not suitable and will never survive in the cruel and competitive society. What we need is an all-round talent who is not only excellent in academic study but also innovative, optimistic and versatile. To conclude, encouraging children to spend more time in what they what is beneficial for them to a more colorful life and less stressful study experience. Thus, a variety of novel and attractive extracurricular activities are supposed to be recommended to all schools. |
