Books and People

Different books are intended for① different people. Children’s books and picture books are usually for babies and children. Stories and novels of love are written mainly for young people. Books with specific purposes, such as gardening and farming, are more welcome to older people.

Different people read different ideas from the books. Children like the pictures and the colours. Youth learn knowledge and experience from them. And the old enjoy the thoughts and feelings in the books. On the other hand②, the female focuses on③ the plot, and the male pay more attention to④ the result.

Instructions and advice are helpful for reading. Sometimes we should scan⑤ the books, skim⑥ the books, and sometimes should chew⑦ them. For important books, we should take notes, and for pastime books, we should enjoy or relaxedly read them. In short⑧, different books should be dealt with with different reading methods.

【點評】

本文是一篇典型的根據段首句展開的議論文。這種題型的作文在曆年的大學英語四級考試中也經常出現。本篇作文題論點鮮明，即要求讨論“Books and People”二者之間的關系，并在比較不同的書與不同的人之間内在聯系的基礎上，針對如何讀書提出一些有益的建議。

本篇作文題具有一定的哲理性。第一段結合段首句寫不同的書是針對不同的閱讀對象而寫的，并展開叙述。第二段針對段首句的提示又從不同年齡階層的人對書的愛好是不盡相同的和性别不一樣對書的理解也不一樣這兩方面入手。第三段着重強調閱讀的幾種方法“Scan”（精讀），“Skim”（略讀），還是記筆記等等。最後一句用“different books should be dealt with with different reading methods”來總結全文，從而照應了書該如何去讀這一主題。這樣，文章前後呼應，給人以較深刻的印象。
