Which is more important in life, knowledge from the books you read, or personal experience you gain in reality? The answer may vary from person to person. The young, educated may emphasize the former, and the old may stress the later. But in my opinion, they are of the same importance.
Experience is priceless. How to become an efficient secretary? How to prepare for your first child to come into the world? There is so much experience we need in careers, in life and even in academic studies. It helps one deal with the problems with ease and confidence. Especially activities and to accumulate experience of different kinds is more crucial.
Experience, however, is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing, it is impossible for anyone to experience all the important events and meet all the famous people. For another, as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society, experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrow-mindedness and prejudice.
One way to compensate for it is to read books. Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books you can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents, but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure, it’s secondhand experience. But it is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. Few of us can travel around the world, or live long beyond one hundred years, but all of us can live many lives by reading books.
How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic?
Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining about the heavy traffic. It has seriously influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, some pieces of advice are put forward. Some people suggest that more streets and roads should be built. In this way,
the traffic density can be redncedi hence speeding up the flow of buses and cars.But the new roads and streets will be filled with many cars and buses soon.
Some people advise to limit the number of bikes and cars. This can decrease the traffic flow. But on the other haad, this will affect the consumption and make buses more crowded.
In my opinion, the number of private cars should be put under control. And at the same time, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly. ( 151 words)
When I was a child,I always dreamt of finding out the secret of various phenomena in the world.
After entering the university, I pioneered a way to explore the cause of life. At last, I found the way to create life, and after a long time of hard work, I succeeded in creating a being, which was more like a monster than a man.
When he opened his eyes, it seemed that he was very hungry, as he started to search my laboratory and tried to find something to eat.
I was scared to death when he rested his eyes on me. “Oh dear, I’m not his food. Who can save me! ” I thought. But nobody came to help me.
He came up to me directly. I felt as if Death were waving his hands to me. Suddenly I heard a strange sound that was just like a crack of a bone. At the same time he stopped—he fell to the ground.
Exactly it was I myself who saved me. I made a mistake when putting the bones into the big man’s left leg.
Before he could stand up, I raised the gun and killed him without hesitation. I knew very well that if I hadn’t killed him I would have been killed.
It was lucky that my creation was not a perfect one. After all, that was my first creation. Maybe, I should create a gentleman next time.

Though Sunday is set aside as a day for rest, we ought to devise some .good ways of spending it. Firstly, we should review what we have learned during the past week. “One will get something new in looking over one's old studies” Is a very wise saying. If we do not fully understand what we have been taught in the week, how can we expect to understand next week's lessons? Secondly, to increase our knowledge, we should read on Sundays, those books,newspaper and magazines that are not in our regular curriculum. That will do us good. The two ways of spending Sundays will surely do anyone good if he carries them out faithfully and persistently.
From the freeway you will see the beautiful looking buildings set high on the on the green mountain in the suburb of Taipei. The Chinese-style architecture of the Grand Hotel is very colorful; it has been ranked as one of the world’s top ten.

The response to Anvil Knitwear’s new AnvilOrganic line of organic T-Shirts was better than the company expected, which is why they will be developing a line of women’s and children’s clothing in the future. Anvil Knitwear, whose shirts are distributed by Broder Brothers under three divisions, Alpha Short Company, Broder, and NES, uses only organic cotton which is grown without the use of harsh pesticides for this line. Dyes used to colour the shirts are also organic.
“We knew that the time was right for affordable organic tees. Still, the response to our organic T-Shirts has been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve been able to offer quality organic tees, in a variety of sizes and colors, while still maintaining a price point our competitors can’t. We’re confident the expansion to our organic line will flourish in today’s increasingly environmentally responsible market,” said Anvil CEO, Anthony Corsano.
