答案：

Reasons for Attending College

  People think differently about the reasons for going to college due to their different experience and attitudes toward life. Some people go to college mainly for getting rid of poverty, while others just for making more friends. As for me, college is a place where many excellent students gather together to realize their dreams.

  First, I go to college for obtaining knowledge. College is the best place for young people to learn knowledge. In college, I choose my major, determine my research area, and prepare for my future career. Second, the four years in college is the best time to develop our critical thinking as well. We have more chances to think independently and develop our creative abilities. College education encourages students to face challenges and develop original ideas. Last but not least, I can gain some social skills in college, which will play an important role in my future life.

  All in all, entering college is a wise decision for us to make. The knowledge and skills we acquire there will lay a solid foundation for our wonderful life in future.

Directions: For this part, you will write a short passage entitled Books Are More Important than Experience. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
 

1.提出对于书本和经验哪个更重要的观点

2.给出进一步的解释和分析

3.总结观点

答案：

Books Are More Important than Experience

  With regard to the question of books or experience, as I am concerned, I would have to say that books are more important than experience.

  To begin with, you will often find that new books contain new theories that are not common practice yet. For us college students, we have less or even no opportunity to do such experiments that can prove certain theories; therefore, we can just read the books and get valuable knowledge from experts. Second, books contain various kinds of knowledge that is easier to get. Books are easily obtainable in libraries, bookshops and, of course, online. It is far easier to obtain knowledge through books than to gain personal experience. We need to be reminded that books contain other people's experiences and thoughts and that we cannot possibly go through their experience in order to learn something.

  In summary, books can provide us with new knowledge that has not yet penetrated into everybody's life and books are the record of other people's experiences which we cannot hope to emulate ourselves in a single lifetime.
