有时候, 当你不知道自己做的某个决定是否是正确的时候, 你会感到无比的茫然. 没有太多的考虑和顾忌, 你只是随着你的感觉缓缓前行. 前方有太多的歧路和方向, 而你只会选择其中的一条. 当你在路途中遇到无数困难险阻时, 你或许会一遍遍地怀疑自己当初选择的正确性. 很多人在这个时候会禁受不住自我怀疑式的挑战而选择退缩或者放弃, 于是, 他们只能走回原路, 和梦想道别. 而有些人却可以挺住一切困难, 以更大的热情迎难而上, 最后走出一条属于自己的康庄大道. 很多时候, 成功与失败不在于你的选择正确与否, 而在于你是否有那个勇气和魄力在面临重重困难时仍然可以坚定地走下去.
很多时候, 自我怀疑是成功的大敌. 经常自我怀疑的人往往是那些心猿意马, 做事不够坚决果断之人. 这类人缺乏主见,从而过分地相信别人的建议, 仿佛一缕轻烟, 哪边有风就飘哪边, 对于事情的做与不做, 要做到什么样的程度都缺乏自己独立的判断, 反而希望被别人引着走, 最后只能被命运困住, 挣扎无果. 当然, 他可能想法很多, 不过也只是过分停留在口头上, 没有什么执行力, 因为他缺乏冒险和进取精神. 自我怀疑则体现在一旦遇到困难, 他就会立即怀疑自己当初决策的正确性, 甚至想也没多想就立即改变初衷, 想尽量减少已经造成的损失. 他永远也不会立即想到如何去解决困难, 继续前进. 他只会盯着已经发生的损失而懊恼不已.
所以, 不管怀疑什么, 千万不要怀疑自己的能力.

Some people think rote learning is not useful for schools today. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
九分范文:
For years, educators have been complaining about the adverse effects that the traditional technique of rote memorization has exerted on schooling.
Over-emphasis on rote memorization, doubtless, inhibits the learning process. Once young students acquire the data they need, they tend to stop there if they are not encouraged to analyze this data. Essentially, education that over-emphasizes rote learning makes students worship the taught “facts”, just as the European clergy did with their holy scriptures in Medieval times and as the test-takers in China did with the Confucian orthodoxy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Even so, I believe rote learning still holds certain unique advantages, which mainly have to do with practicability. Daycare and kindergarten children and lower-elementary students are far better at remembering than at comprehending concepts and theories. So as a learning process, merely committing information on memory through repetition would be more realistic and more efficient for children in this age group than understanding abstractions at such a young age.
Even for upper-elementary, secondary school students and university undergraduates whose main task is to develop a more independent mind, rote learning also carries certain benefits. For instance, the grammatical points in language learning, historical and geographic facts as well as physical and chemical equations all require certain amounts of rote memorization before they can be actively applied by the students.
Thus, I would argue that rote learning can be beneficial when it is not regarded as an end in itself, but as the process of laying the groundwork for the subsequent acquisition of conceptual knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills. |
