參考范文
As is depicted in the picture, reading books containing other people’s wisdom and knowledge helps us shape our thinking. It shows how valuable reading is. 1
It is widely acknowledged that books present the precious accumulation of wisdom and knowledge beyond the limitation of space and time, just as the old Chinese saying goes, “To open a book is always beneficial.” 2
First of all 3 , reading can enrich our mind and shape our thoughts. When we read, we are stimulated to use our brain to explore knowledge in the book. We learn to look beyond our surroundings to some places out of our experience in the world. When we read, we reflect on the wisdom in the book and learn to do critical thinking, knowing what is right and what is wrong, which has a deep influence on the formation of correct outlook on life, value and world. Secondly 3 , we should learn how to read. Francis Bacon said, some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. In this way, we can better enrich our mind and shape our thinking.
如圖中描繪的那樣，閱讀蘊(yùn)含別人的智慧和知識(shí)的圖書(shū)可以幫助我們塑造自己的思想。這表明了閱讀的價(jià)值。
人們普遍認(rèn)為，書(shū)籍使寶貴的、超越時(shí)空的智慧和知識(shí)積累得以呈現(xiàn)，好比中國(guó)一句古話所說(shuō)的，“開(kāi)卷有益”。
首先，閱讀可以豐富我們的心靈，塑造我們的思想。當(dāng)我們閱讀時(shí)，我們的大腦被刺激去探索書(shū)中的知識(shí)。我們學(xué)著不只是看到我們身邊的風(fēng)景，而是看到世界上我們生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)之外的其他地方。當(dāng)我們閱讀時(shí)，我們可以仔細(xì)思考書(shū)中的智慧并且學(xué)習(xí)批判性思考，能區(qū)分是非，這對(duì)我們形成正確的人生觀、價(jià)值觀和世界觀有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響。其次，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)如何閱讀。弗朗西斯?培根說(shuō)，有的書(shū)只需淺嘗，有的只需粗知，只有少數(shù)需要深入鉆研、仔細(xì)揣摩。這樣，我們就可以更好地豐富我們的心靈，塑造我們的思想。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 開(kāi)篇簡(jiǎn)要描述圖片的內(nèi)容，同時(shí)結(jié)合圖片中的文字準(zhǔn)確傳達(dá)出這幅漫畫(huà)的寓意。
2. 第二段承上啟下，論述閱讀的普遍意義，緊扣作文話題。
3. 第三段分兩個(gè)層次闡釋了如何通過(guò)閱讀豐富和塑造我們的思想。
要點(diǎn)用法
acknowledge v. 承認(rèn)
accumulation n. 積累
beneficial adj. 有益的，有利的
stimulate v. 刺激；激勵(lì)
reflect on 仔細(xì)思考
formation n. 形成
outlook n. 觀點(diǎn)；展望
句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. When we read, we reflect on the wisdom in the book and learn to do critical thinking, knowing what is right and what is wrong, which has a deep influence on the formation of correct outlook on life, value and world.
此句是一個(gè)復(fù)雜句，包含了時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句、非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，同時(shí)還運(yùn)用了現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)，句式結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜多樣。
2. In this way, we can better enrich our mind and shape our thinking.
better作副詞，表示“更好地”，后面直接跟動(dòng)詞，比如本句中的better enrich。
