參考分析:
兩個觀點都有些極端。所以,先比較分析,在選擇自己的立場。
聽從他人勸告和建議的優(yōu)缺點:綜合許多人的看法,可能更容易得到正確的答案;但是久而久之(in the course of time; as time passes),可能會變得沒有主見(lose one's own judgment)自己做決定、從自己的經(jīng)驗出發(fā)的優(yōu)缺點:可能不全面,但是能夠培養(yǎng)自己的觀察能力,分析能力。不同的事情,要有不同的選擇。
108、聽家里人和朋友的建議可以學(xué)到更多的人生哲理
(1)家里人和朋友更加有經(jīng)驗,因為很多事情都經(jīng)歷過
(2)家里人和朋友和自己關(guān)系好,不會欺騙自己,他們的意見都是真實的
(3)有些事情必須要從家里人和朋友中獲得,自己是無法體驗的。
Topic 108 The best way of learning
As life is rigorous and challenging for most of people (excluding children who have a silver spoon in their mouths right after they were born), everyone needs to take advices from others or accumulate experiences to face the life. However, people have different ways to learn about life. Some tend to learn by listening to advices of family and friends. Meanwhile, others prefer to learn through personal experiences. In this essay, I will discuss the advantages of these two different ways.
Some people like to understand life by listening to advices of people around them. This offers a good chance to gain knowledge and experiences from others who have already experienced hardships and tasted the bitterness of life. This method is much convenient and faster than the other one because there are a lot of experiences in life that have already been experienced by other people. Other people's opinions and advices simply offer us a shortcut to success.
On the other hand, young people, however, prefer to learn about life through their personal experiences. However, to acquire these experiences, one has to pay a price. One must have to experience a lot of failures before he/she can savior the sweetness of success. It may also take a long time for someone to stand up from his failures. In addition, it requires a lot of time for people to accumulate these valuable experiences.
Comparing and contracting these two approaches, I personally prefer the way that of listening to the advice of family and friends. This is the best and easiest way for young people like me to start a real life.
