Sample Writing
Reading Selectively or Extensively?
Now, it is generally accepted that reading is very important. But when it comes to how to read, there has sprung up a heated discussion as to whether we should read selectively or extensively.
Those who are in favor of the idea of reading selectively believe that it is not how much one reads but what he reads that really counts. For one thing, living
in an age when much time has to be taken by work and other activities, people are unable to find enough time to read extensively even if they intend to. For an
other, some books are harmful and therefore the choice of books can never be overlooked.
However, those who insist on reading extensively argue that it is through reading extensively that we obtain most of our knowledge. Now branches of knowledge
diverge into each other rather than isolated from each other. Only when one goes
beyond his own field and read widely can he really make remarkable achievements
in his study. In addition, the most valuable gifts bestowed by reading extensively are experience, broad view and wisdom.
In my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively. That is to say
, upon reading, we have to first distinguish good books from indecent ones. But
to the former, there is no such things as too many in reading.
