Sample Composition
Reading Selectively or Extensively?
Some people think reading should be selectively. First, they think that one’s life is so limited that reading extensively is out of the question, one should only focus on the books closely connected with their majors, or which can bring them immediate benefits. Second, they think man is incompetent in the world of knowledge explosion, they believe reading without selecting is simply a waste of time, energy and money. Finally, those who select books to read think that not all books are worth reading.
However, there are many people who prefer reading extensively. First of all, they firmly believe that the more books one reads, the more knowledge one acquires. Another reason for those who like reading extensively is that the world is changing very rapidly, only by reading extensively that one can keep abreast of what is going on in other parts of the world.
In my opinion, people should read both selectively and extensively. On one hand, we should read selectively for special knowledge, which needs our concentration and careful study. On the other hand, we should read extensively for the information or entertainment, which leads to a colorful life. Therefore, Reading should be, according to my own understanding, both selectively and extensively.
