关于大学英语写作，从来都不是难事，也不会是易事，今天小编挑选了10篇美文跟大家一起分享。
1、家长和孩子Parents and Kids
Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off TV and spending more time with the family are still worded that without TV they would constantly be on call as entertainers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different,less resourceful, there's nothing to do,these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do besides turning on TV.
One father, for example, says,"When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do. We certainly never complain in an annoying way to our parents: 'have nothing to do! ' "He compares this with his own children today:"They're simply lazy. If someone doesn't entertain them, they' II happily sit there watching TV all day."
There is one word for this father's disappointment: unfair. He deplores his children' s lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species.
Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new re-sources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people.
许多家长表示对关掉电视花更多时间陪家人表示赞同，这样他们可以花更多时间陪孩子而不是看电视。当他们还是孩子的时候他们会想到更多事情去做，但是自己的孩子似乎不同，有时候更少的足智多谋。当没有什么可做的时候，家长们遗憾的是，他们的孩子除了打开电视想不到任何的其他事情。
例如，一位父亲说:“当我还是个孩子的时候，我们总是思考事情要做。我们不会抱怨父母:“没什么可做”比起他们自己的孩子：“他们只是懒惰。如果有人不招待他们，他们将开心得一整天坐着看电视。”
有一个词可以形容这个父亲的失望，不公平。他谴责他的孩子缺乏创造力，好像能力是天生的，他的孩子们玩失踪。事实上，玩耍是人类特有的倾向。
然而这种失望，不仅是不公平的，也是破坏性的。感受到父母的失望，孩子们开始相信，实际上，缺乏一些东西，而这让他们更值得钦佩和尊重。给孩子们机会开发新资源，扩大眼界，发现自己做事情的乐趣，另一方面，帮助孩子开发一个自信的自我感觉有能力和有趣的人。
2、知识和经验哪个更重要?Knowledge and experience which is more important?
In general, knowledge gained from books has a wider range than that gained from experience. We now live in a world that typophile is no longer exorbitant, and that printed matters are readily available. In libraries, we can learn nearly everything only if we have already acquired basic reading skills, philosophy, history, literature, physics, mathematics, chemicals, biology, geography, anthropology, and the list will go on. Unlike the experience of an individual that is limited by the range of that individual, books seem to have almost no limitation. Sitting in the local library, we virtually can travel everywhere through an interesting geographic encyclopedia, and certainly, with nearly no expense at all. On the other hand, it can be argued that sometimes knowledge gained from experience is much deeper and more comprehensive than that gained from books. It is quite true that not every thing is contained in books. How to deal with personal finance, how to cope with current social trends, even how to most effectively organize our own mind, and numerous other things can seldom be found thoroughly and comprehensively discussed in books, we have to gain the knowledge by our own experience. And the sad news is that even some knowledge that is contained in books usually needs further comprehension, mainly through experience. As to which source is more important, the answers vary. Some knowledge can be acquired only through books. It's hard to imagine we can have a good understanding of history without reading books. On the other hand, some knowledge can be obtained only through experience. When we try to learn to swim, merely a detailed manual of swimming skills, even abundantly filled with illustrations, is at most useless. We have to jump into the water and then gain the knowledge with experience. We have to use books and experience as source simultaneously to get what we want to know. Take learning physics for example, both books and experiences are equally important sources, and examples as such are numerous. Therefore, I think whether one source is more important than the other depends on circumstances.
在一般情况下，从书中获得的知识，有一个更广泛的范围比从经验中获得的。我们现在生活在一个世界印刷不再昂贵的时代，和印刷品都是现成的。在图书馆，我们可以学到几乎所有的东西，只有当我们已经获得了基本的阅读技能，哲学，历史，文学，物理，数学，化学，生物学，地理，人类学，和名单将继续下去。不同于个人的经验，个人的经验是有限的，书籍似乎有几乎没有限制。坐在当地图书馆，我们几乎可以通过一个有趣的地理百科全书到处旅行，当然，几乎没有费用。另一方面，它可以说，有时从经验中获得的知识是更深入和更全面的比从书中获得的。这是真的，不是每一件事都包含在书中。如何处理个人理财，如何应对当前的社会趋势，甚至如何最有效地组织我们自己的思想，以及无数其他的事情，很少能被发现，深入和全面地讨论，我们必须通过我们自己的经验来获得知识。而令人悲哀的是，即使是一些包含在书中的知识，也需要进一步理解，主要是通过经验。对于哪个来源更重要，答案不同。有些知识只能通过书本获得。很难想象，我们能有一个良好的历史，而不读书的理解。另一方面，一些知识只能通过经验获得。当我们试着去学游泳时，仅仅是一个详细的游泳技巧，甚至是丰富的插图，是最无用的。我们必须跳到水里，然后用经验来获得知识。我们必须使用书籍和经验作为来源同时得到我们想要知道的。以物理为例，书本和经验都是同样重要的来源，而例子如多。因此，我认为一个来源比另一个更重要的取决于情况。
