1. Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.

　　Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.

    　書本知識與實際經驗

　　獲得知識的來源有很多，其中包括書本、老師，以及實際經驗，而每一種都有其優點。從書本上及正規教育中所獲得的知識使我們知道在日常生活中沒有機會親身去體驗的事。通過讀書，我們可以研究世界各地的資料，還可以向不曾謀面的人學習。我們也可以培養分析的技巧，并學習如何以不同的方式去觀察并理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過讀書，從歷史中獲取教訓。如此一來，就不會再重復別人的錯誤，并且能夠以他人的成就作為我們行動的基礎。

　　另一方面，實際經驗能夠給我們更多有用的知識。大家都說從做中學的效果最好，我也認為的確如此，無論一個人成功與否。事實上，我認為犯錯是最好的學習方式。此外，如果想要有新的進展，就必須要付諸行動。想要創新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實踐。最后，我們可以將通過讀書所獲得的技巧和見解應用于實際經驗中，使得原本有意義的經驗變得更有意義。不過，除非我們能將書本知識運用于實際經驗中，否則書本知識終究仍只是理論，毫無用處。那就是為什么我會認為從實際經驗中獲得的知識比從書本中所得到的知識更為重要。

    　2.There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.

　　One obvious effect of the these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.

　　With the every-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.

   　 電視和電影的影響

　　電視和電影無疑會影響人們的行為舉止。此外，人們似乎在花越來越多的時間去觀看一些視覺娛樂節目，無論是電視、錄像帶，或是DVD。因此，視覺每體的影響是不容忽視的。

  　這些每體所造成的最明顯的影響是，人們在觀看之后會被誘使去購買某些產品。現在電視廣告非常普遍，即使是電影院，也允許播放廣告。另外一個電視及電影會影響人們的方式是，它們能使人們對世界有更廣闊的見解或是扭曲的看法，而這取決于人們所觀看的是什么樣的節目。凡是觀看新聞性及教育性節目的人可以學習許多新事物，而主要觀看娛樂節目的觀眾可能就會認為，世界上大多數的人都很有錢，而且長得都很好看，這可能會使他們對自己的生活感到不滿意。最后，兒童可能是最容易受影響的觀眾。他們可能無法分辨真實與虛構，而且可能會試著模仿在電視或電影中所看到的行為。

　　由于視覺娛樂越來越普遍，所以社會大眾必須注意其可能造成的影響。盡管電視及電影兼具娛樂性和知識性，但還是無法取代實際的經驗。
