Dear Editor,
I have been reading your newspaper for many years with great enthusiasm and interest. I'm writing to express my opinion on reading extensively.
Nowadays few of us read extensively after we leave school. This tendency is rather disturbing, as reading extensively is no less necessary to one's spirit than fresh air to one's health. From reading extensively, we can gain more knowledge and information about various subjects other than our field.
Though with the advent of the TV and the Internet, we no longer read as many books as before, nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
尊敬的編輯:
多年來(lái)我一直懷著極大的熱情和興趣閱讀貴報(bào)。我給您寫(xiě)郵件想就廣泛閱讀表達(dá)我的觀點(diǎn)。
現(xiàn)在我們中很少有人離開(kāi)學(xué)校后還廣泛閱讀。這種傾向著實(shí)令人不安,因?yàn)閺V泛閱讀之于人的精神猶如空氣之于人的健康,都是必不可少的。從廣泛閱讀中我們可以獲得更多有關(guān)我們領(lǐng)域之外眾多學(xué)科的知識(shí)和信息。
雖然隨著電視和因特網(wǎng)的出現(xiàn),我們讀的書(shū)沒(méi)有以前那么多了,但什么也不能取代廣泛閱讀在我們生活中起的作用。
您真誠(chéng)的,
李明
