How to Read A Book
范例一:In this article, Joseph Brodsky first states that people‘s life is generally much shorter than books and that it is important for people to select good books to read. Yet, the author argues that selecting good books from the ocean of literary works is not an easy job, even book reviewers can’t help much. In the end, the author suggests that reading poetry is the way to develop good tastes in literature, because it is the supreme form of human locution, the most concise way of conveying the human experience, and offer the possible standards for any linguistic operation.
From my point of view, I do agree with the author. To select a good book is very difficult. Nowadays, many authors and publishers write a publish books just for profits. We rarely find a great work as good as which were created decades ago. What’s more, poetry is the most beautiful form in literature. Reading poetry can improve our taste and literature level. We should read poetry from every age as much as we can.
范例二:“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” Francis Bacon warned readers several hundred years ago. However, what are the criteria for those books to be “chewed and digested?” How to tell good literature from bad literature? On these issues, people don’t seem to have reached an agreement.
In the article, Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky first states that people’s life is generally much shorter than books, and that it is important for people to select good books to read. Yet, the author further argues that selecting good books from the ocean of literary works is no easy job; even book reviewers can’t help much. In the end, the author suggests that reading poetry is the way to develop good taste in literature, because it is the supreme form of human locution, the most concise way of conveying the human experience, and offers the highest possible standards for any linguistic operation.
范例三:In this passage, Joseph talks about how to read a book. He develops this article in three parts, the difficulty in finding good books, the significance of poetry and the suggestion to read poetry. The author speaks highly of reading various books. Especially , the poetry. And he believes that the truth is literature started with poetry. Reading books is time-consuming. In order to save our time and energy, we really need to find good and suitable books.
As we know, books have become necessary parts in our daily life. various worlds showed in these books,such as, the charm of Tibet, the friendship between two girls etc. But how to chose books? Taking this problem into consideration ,in my view, a right direction , biograph or traveling is important. Of course, you can read those types in your leisure time, but not all the time. our own special fields also could not be ignored. About poetry,the author showed us lots of the hows and whys. But to be the truth,I don’t like poetry. Most of the time,the meaning of the poetry is too obscure to understand. But I’m in favor of the author’s viewpoint. If we have interests in poetry,it maybe a wise advice.
Recession-proofing your career
范例一:In this article, the author, Barbara Moses, explains why it is necessary for recession-proofing our career at the very beginning. The author demonstrates that in order to recession-proofing our career, we need to become a career activist. In the following, the author gives us eight specific strategies: guarantee your employability, have a plan B when you lose your present job, develop your core skills, get ready for the next area you might work in, market yourself to the human resource market, find a balance between the ambitious Type A and more relaxed Type B, keep up with the current culture.
From my point of view, in order to recession-proofing our career, we should not only prepare it mentally, but also physically. Only in this way can we have energy to become a career activist and ensure our employability. What impressed me is that we must market ourselves. It is important for you to get the next opportunity of work assignment and position promoting. Marketing is really an art that we should learn. After reading this article, we would have a better idea of choosing what to do and how to recession-proofing our career.
范例二:In the text, Dr. Barbara Moses describes a new career development paradigm for today’s employees, that is, guaranteed jobs have already become history and it’s high time to engage in a lifelong, self-monitored process which can help to promote and prepare oneself for a change, esp. during periods of recession. She then suggests some skills which are indispensable when responding to new work trends. She recommends discovering both your overt and covert talents, making sure a wide range of positions are available to you, and never committing to any “hot job” which exceeds either your interest or talent. Moreover, being skilled or qualified is not the only criteria. You must be able to “market” yourself, to convince the employer that you are the most suitable candidate for the job, for which purpose you have to establish a social network that can help you make your career decisions “both inside and outside of your professions.” Always follow work trends. Finally, psychological elements are also important, so never let yourself down and find a balance between the ambitious Type A and more relaxed Type B. In a word, don't be under the misconception that your job is always secure and if you work hard you’ll surely get a good job. You must be fully responsible for the future prospects of your chosen career.
范例三:To keep a threat awareness in mind and acting for your career are the primary idea of this article. The author develops this text into 2 parts: the necessity for recession-proofing your career and strategies for protecting your career.
First, know yourself,including the key skills and the areas of competence. This is the first and a necessary part before embarking on entirely your career. Then, marketing yourself. No one willing to refuse a Mr.right in the career,so do you .Finding right platforms ,you can realize your value. The author also throws out a problem:if you lost main source of income tomorrow ,could you fine an alternate source to replace it? In addition to pursue learning and development opportunities, we also can create a fallback position and stay culturally current to ensure your employability in the future. Moreover,as all we know, we could not hold one career without any obstacle. Rather than being defeated by failure,we must learn from those setbacks and use them to your advantages in the future.
Finally ,act type A,think type B, that is thinking and recognizing yourself once again and again. It seems a cycle from knowing yourself to recognize once again in the whole career life.
Nowadays, with the fast-shifting of the economic, we
