1. An 800-word essay on the topic of reading paper books
When reading paper books, whether to choose paper books or e-books, this kind of debate can easily go to extremes and deviate actual.
In fact, seemingly cheap e-books have their own financial consequences, and seemingly expensive paper books also have their own ways to generate income again. A blog post from a senior US editor makes us look at the issue again.
The full text is as follows: In a recent post, Joanna vented her dissatisfaction with traditional publishers, saying that she was tired of their "profit-seeking" attitude. She wrote: "If you read any article about the impact of e-books on traditional books, you will find that there are some people who extremely advocate paper books.
These people are very reluctant Acknowledge the rise of e-books, but insist that 'real' book lovers will definitely prefer paper books, or think that paper is 'better' and can bring a 'better reading experience', or in a certain I'm really starting to get tired of these people! Not to mention the obvious point - 'traditional books and e-books can coexist, there's no need to think of either/or. I'm starting to feel disgusted with some of the economically motivated aspects of these debates.
I think most people who think of paper as a priority fail to take into account that. That is, even in today's modern era, having a large paper library is still a luxury in economic terms." Joanna's views are actually representative of a generation.
She is the same age as my children. Most of them have just started their careers or have been working hard in the workplace for a few years. My views are diametrically opposed to theirs.
I learned how to organize my spending decades ago when I was Joanna's age. At her age, I didn't make a lot of money and had to struggle with spending a few dollars to see a movie, buy a book, or not spend it at all.
At that time, I lived in a one-room apartment, and the monthly rent cost more than half of my net income. Even in those difficult days, I still had to buy books. Unlike watching a movie, I never considered books to be buyable or not - reading was (and is) my main means of learning.
I don’t think that my children’s generation does not face financial difficulties and practical problems, but everything must be treated correctly. For example, I remember when my parents were only making $15 a week and still had to pay a $30 monthly mortgage.
At that time, gas was less than 25 cents a gallon, a copy of the New York Times was 5 cents, a bottle of Coke was only 5 cents, and so on - and the take-home pay at the time (less taxes wages) also reflect the cost of living. I don't know who else has to pay $30 a month in mortgage or rent these days! Of course, at that time so-called e-books existed only in the imagination of science fiction writers, personal computers had not yet existed, and the Internet as we know it today did not yet exist.
Even buying a hardcover book was a big investment at that time. Hardcover books were then a luxury purchase in proportion to wages, but are now a bargain, leaving paperbacks as the "poor man's" version of literature.
In the past few decades, everything has changed so fast. E-books will be the next innovation in personal libraries.
In the future - but not now - paper books will become a true luxury item and an antique. Some people can recall them, but can't come up with an actual example.
For today's readers, e-books have many advantages, but not financial ones. Sure, they can help you collect books, especially if you're too financially strapped to have a traditional study room in your home, but this problem has been around for 25, 50, or even a century—and some people's homes are spacious enough. , can collect a large number of books, but some people live in cramped small apartments, some of which are less than 10 square meters, and except for sleeping, everything else is shared with others.
But they still read and buy books diligently. They also fell in love with paper books, especially paperbacks, because they could read more books at a cheaper price.
I admit that I prefer reading e-books to paper books. If I could, I planned to buy the e-books of all the non-fiction books I've ever bought in hardcover, so that all my hardcover books could sit on my bookshelf and I would only have to read the e-books.
But paper books have 7 characteristics that current e-books do not have: 1. When I buy a paper book, I completely own it; but if I buy an e-book , I just rented it. 2. Paper books can be sold in the second-hand market, and their value can increase when they become rare editions; e-books are never out of stock, and there is no corresponding second-hand market that allows me to recover some costs.
3. A paper version of a non-fiction book will be cheaper than an electronic version, and it can also be sold in legal second-hand markets where non-fiction books are significantly less available, including regular bargain book markets.
4. I can legally co-purchase traditional books with others, further reducing the amount everyone pays (my son and I have purchased several books over the years, and we split the bill when purchasing) ).
5. My paper books can be lent to others without restriction; if I am lucky, an e-book can only be lent to another person for 2 weeks (once borrowed once, the e-book cannot be Lend it to others again). 6. As long as I buy a paper book, it is always mine; unlike e-books, no one can remotely delete, replace, or do anything to interfere with my ownership of the book.
7. As my collection of hardcover books grows, I also face space constraints. At that point, I can reorganize my paper books and get rid of some of them: either sell them on the second-hand market (see #3), but I'm more likely to donate them to the local library.
Those libraries still operate in a traditional way and are happy to accept book donations. They will also provide me with a tax deduction for charitable donations at a fair market price. The tax reduction is already equivalent to the average price in the second-hand book market.
However, I cannot resell or donate the e-books I no longer need to anyone, I can only keep them for myself. When e-books have a universal format and DRM measures like DVDs, some of the above-mentioned advantages of traditional books may disappear.
But at least from pure economics. 2. Write an essay of no less than 800 words on the theme of "Books as Companions"
Speaking of books, there is a lot to talk about. Even though I am only in the fourth grade, I really like reading books: I have read "Red Rock", "Robinson Crusoe", etc...
Books are like the meals eaten by emperors—— The book is like the tofu mixed with spring onions made by my mother - it is pure and clear; the book is like the window of the soul, allowing me to look out at the colorful world outside the window; the book is like a sailing boat traveling far away, allowing me to enjoy the knowledge in the world. I sail happily in the ocean; books are like strong wings, allowing me to fly freely in the endless sky...
So, I have a good teacher and friend in my life!
When I encounter difficulties in life, I can turn to it for help. It will never deceive me. Books are my best intimate friends! When I am ignored by my family, the book will take me to the family of "Little Mouse Stuart" and tell me how to use my own advantages to win the love of my family; when I am lonely, the book will take me to visit China famous places of interest: the Nine Dragon Wall in Beihai, the lions in Marco Polo Bridge, the bamboo forest in Hongluo Temple, the red leaves in Xiangshan... When I am tired from studying, the book will tell me some jokes and some very interesting stories... It makes me Experience the joy of learning and life!
My life is accompanied by books! It can make my life rich and colorful, and it can allow me to learn a lot of knowledge that I can’t learn in class...
I often fantasize about being a writer when I grow up, and I also write my own stories Write it as a book and publish it. Therefore, I must study hard now and read more books.
With the company of books, every step of my growth becomes so happy and full of fun! In the book, I saw a sentence that Gorky once said: "Love books, it will make your life easier; it will lovingly help you understand complicated thoughts, emotions and events; it will teach you to respect others and Myself! ”
In order to realize my ideal, I will grow up happily with books as my companions. 3. Write an 800-word essay on the topic of “With books as your companions”. It must be original and do not plagiarize.
I revised my article (I have written about this topic before, but I couldn’t find it, so I picked an article about reading)
I thought it was too long and I could delete a paragraph< /p>
Taking books as companions - On reading
I once remembered that there was such a sentence in Yang Zi's "Eighteen Years Old and Others". "I remember that in the small study room facing the patio in the backyard of my hometown, my great-grandmother once hung a banner with the words "Reading is the most enjoyable"." Yes, reading should be happy! Of course, in works like Jiang Shiquan's "Illustrated Notes of the Mingji Night Class", we can also read about the pain of studying in the past, but we can also definitely feel the joy of reading that overflows in the text. I stayed up all night, and when I noticed the whiteness outside the window, I closed my book and got up unsatisfied.
It is necessary when reading. But if it is limited to text knowledge, wouldn’t it seem too rigid? Thoughts form human greatness. Man is but a reed, the most fragile thing in nature; but he is a thinking reed. Reading is a broad road to thinking. Marx wrote in "The Choice of Youth in Choosing a Career": Only from silence can great and magnificent careers arise. Silence is the only soil where mature fruits grow. Reading can cultivate people's quiet atmosphere and improve their moral cultivation.
The importance of reading is graded. There are some idle books that are useless to read too much. If you indulge in it and can't extricate yourself for a while, it will become the same as playing with a toy and becoming despondent. There is a saying in "The Way to Education" that applies quite appropriately here - there are different paths to be taken in order to obtain true education.
One of the most important ways is to study world literature, which is to gradually become familiar with the works of writers and thinkers from various countries, and the huge wealth of ideas, experiences, symbols, illusions and ideals they left us in their works. World literature is rich and colorful. While reading excellent works, you can also understand the customs and habits of various places, humanistic concepts and the history of a certain period. From the author's words, you can even read his views on life and the world, that is, The so-called outlook on life, values, and world view. This will be of great benefit to our future lives.
Reading is to express one's own wishes under the guise of other people's ideas. A teacher is the one who preaches the truth, receives karma and resolves doubts. The coverage of the book is extremely broad, and it is difficult for ordinary teachers to answer them one by one. The twists and turns of the story can't help but arouse many people's deep thoughts. A good literary work is new every time you read it, and every reading will bring us a different understanding.
For us, reading has long become the most important part of our lives. Maybe you think it's an exaggeration and think it's more appropriate to add the words "1 or 2" after part. But without books, there is no carrier for the spread of civilization. What is lost is not only the precious experience that our predecessors may have gained at the cost of their lives, but also the essential reason why life is brilliant and long-term. Reading is not just about seeking the essence of life from books, but a kind of communication between people's souls. If Mr. Zhu Xi had insisted on checking one thing today and one thing tomorrow, I am afraid that the infinite universe would have been exhausted by generations of us.
A few numbers, unknowingly describing my feelings about the book in various arguments. The mountains look up and the scenery stops. It is said that everyone in the world admires sages. There are only a few sages in ancient and modern times. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. This is true for saints and so is books. Even a book, no matter how good it is, has flaws. It is better to keep books as your companions and let them be your best friends, always by your side. 4. Write an essay on the topic of entering the reading room 800
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye we have entered the third grade of junior high school. At this time, we are no longer the ones who are curious about junior high school life. We are no longer the first-year junior high school students who complain about too much homework all day long and always want to "squeeze" some time to play. We are already the third-year junior high school students who are always ready to meet challenges and prepare for the first big exam in life. Graduates.
When we enter the third grade of junior high school, "we can't have both the fish and the bear's paws." We must "give up the fish and get the bear's paws." I would like to say this to the nine net kings in Youth Academy Goodbye, say goodbye to the classic English songs of the Backstreet Boys, and say goodbye to the computer. In the past, the time spent watching anime on weekends became endorsements, and listening to songs became listening to English tapes, let alone meeting the computer. At that time I was playing "paper games" with homework on language, mathematics, foreign language, objects, and transformation.
When I couldn't resist the temptation of the novel, I was about to go sailing with Gulliver when I suddenly saw something on the desk. I just posted the English phrases. Thinking that I am already a third-year junior high school student and will take the high school entrance examination in June next year, I picked it up again and shook my head, walking into the world of ABC.
When homework secretly started During the errand, the voices of mom and dad floated in my ears again: "My child, you are now in the third grade of junior high school. You can no longer play. You have to work hard and pass the first grade." If your brother becomes an alumnus of Zhonghe, you will have a better chance of getting admitted to No.1 Middle School and entering a key university." Then he hurriedly took back his heart and entered the sea of ??questions again.
Entering the third grade of junior high school, every morning When I came to school, I could hear the sound of the students in the third grade of junior high school reading. Influenced by their "infection", I couldn't help but take out the textbook from my school bag and start a new day of study. As if I was in the third grade of junior high school, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's so fast!" Hey, I don’t know where I will be today next year. Now I finally understand that "there is a road to the mountain of books, and hard work is the path to the mountain of learning, and there is no limit to the sea of ??learning and the boat is a boat."
The third year of junior high school is for us. A very important year. The third grade of junior high school is a poem in youth. It depicts a beautiful life and is a brilliant chapter. Entering the third grade of junior high school, we have indeed lost a lot. We cannot swim in animations and cannot often listen to Beautiful music, enter the ocean of music with the Backstreet Boys. But the fulfillment, silence and hard work we choose are also a poem, a poem that can guide us to success! 5. Look, this reading fanatic essay 800 words
Look at this reading fanatic, she is lively and active, has a pair of big eyes, a mole under the corner of her left eye, and wears a pair of glasses. He looks very knowledgeable.
She loves reading books the most, and her classmates always recommend her when they choose "Reading Star". In the second grade, the school had a special library corner, and she would go there "on time" to "buy" books after class.
After picking up a book, she sat on the ground and read it with gusto. Someone was jumping rubber bands or kicking shuttlecocks next to her, but she didn't care. She was so absorbed in reading, so selfless, that she forgot everything around her. It was so noisy that I even forgot myself and completely merged into the story. Often when the school bell rang, she would slowly walk and read, put the books back to their original places, and then quickly run towards the classroom from a distance.
When I was in the third or fourth grade, I recognized a lot of words. After reading the books at school, I started reading at home and in the library. The amount of reading has increased, the scope of reading has become wider, and the level of reading has become deeper.
She would finish reading this book and read that one every time. After finishing reading, she would read again. It could be said that she would read whenever she had free time. She would forget to eat and sleep while reading. Her mother-in-law would often call her several times at noon. Even when she went to eat, she couldn't put down the book in her hand, and she was scolded frequently for this. When her parents scolded her, she looked like she was bowing her head and admitting her mistake. After the scolding, she became lively again and still went her own way, just like a "two-faced person".
I forgot to tell you, she is me, an out-and-out little book fan - Meteor & Tears. While reading, I fully realized that a room without books is like a room without windows.
Look at this book lover. 6. An 800-word essay on the topic of reading
Me and reading
Absorbing knowledge and strength from books is a necessity in life. Since birth, everyone has been learning all kinds of knowledge in order to gain a better foothold in society in the future.
I think reading is like a scientist reading contemporary literary works, or a poet reading the records of an archaeologist. Reading is because you like it, and reading is out of interest. There is a saying that goes well: "Reading cannot change the length of life, but it can change the width of life." It is this kind of interest in reading that makes my life rich and colorful.
Reading has become a habit for me. My favorite thing to do in elementary school was to read all kinds of "idle books", from the children's magazines subscribed by my parents to some literary classics. All orders are accepted. Even after I entered middle school, I still loved reading and wanted to give my mind some rest during my busy schedule. Picking up a favorite book is like opening a window and admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window. The scenery may be rough and bold, or delicate and euphemistic, or majestic, or touching. It makes me completely forget about the troubles and unhappiness of studying, as if I am wandering among the green mountains and green waters, breathing the fresh air and waving my thoughts. Wings, feel the beauty of life.
Books are indispensable good friends in my life. I roam in the ocean of books and get great happiness from them, which also broadens my knowledge. In life, The book also helped me a lot.
I remember one Sunday, I was doing homework at home, and the neighbor’s children came to my house to play. Before I finished my homework, I let him play by himself. After playing for a while, he actually picked up my ink bottle. He was so small, and it would be terrible if he knocked over the bottle. I quickly waved my hand: "Don't play with ink..." Before I could finish speaking, The little hand had already knocked over the ink bottle placed on the corner of the table, and the ink spilled all over the child's light-colored shirt. He screamed, was frightened, and then burst into tears. I was so anxious that I was at a loss for words: What should I do? the fat is in the fire! I hurriedly ran to the faucet to wash it, but I couldn't rub the ink stains away no matter how hard I tried. When I was so anxious that I had no idea, my eyes accidentally fell on the book "Knowledge Magazine" placed on the table. I slapped my forehead, didn’t I just watch it? As mentioned above, if there are ink stains on clothes, you can first apply rice grains on the ink stains and rub them vigorously, then soak them in soapy water and wash them, then rinse them with clean water and wash them off. Why don’t I practice it! So, I grabbed the shirt stained by ink, ran to the kitchen, took a spoonful of rice, poured it on the stained area, and then rubbed it hard. After a while, the ink stain really faded away. After rubbing it hard for a while, the ink stain was only a faint copper stain. I rinsed it with soapy water and clean water and wring it dry, then handed it to a neighbor's kid and said, "If you go back and dry it, you won't see any traces anymore. You can wear it now." He asked me with surprised eyes: "What are you doing?" "How do you know that rice can wash away ink stains?" I said proudly: "The book told me!"
Reading helps me increase my knowledge. It is because of books that I know about Zhuge Liang's ingenuity. , the bold and brave Wu Song... It is because of books that I discovered that there are so many stories and so many people in the world. I like the content in the book, humorous, sad, poignant...
I love reading, reading makes my life fulfilling and calm, leisurely and comfortable, quiet and rich, reading Make me happy.
Reading
The light, the light is still on and cannot be turned off. A few bugs surround the light. For those little bugs, anything that emits dazzling light is their ideal paradise and their god. Simple worship, to the point of working hard regardless of one's own safety. If I could, I would like to be a little flying insect, flying to the light source that attracts me most every night. Play there, pray there, run to another world there.
Returning from a distant dream to reality, I still have mountains of information and numerous exercises before me. If you survive tonight, you can escape from the book and return to the world. Wandering in the sea of ??books, reaching the point of disillusionment, can you take your thoughts out of the book and let your sluggish brain rest for a while.
Me, I don’t understand. In this day and age, how can we still say that as long as we read well, we will get rich. This thought makes me feel so stupid. Is it true that as long as you study well, you will definitely make a fortune? Then people all over the world will study, I believe.
My father who loves me and my mother who loves me do not know if you are really good to me. I have said so much, do you all understand? I don't want to resist anything, I just want you to see where I am dissatisfied.
Don't just think about yourself. Is everything you think right? Is everything you think of the best? Stop quarreling with each other. It seems to be the same as during the Cultural Revolution. Anyone who has no scheming will be bullied. Don't you feel tired? I feel so tired, so tired...
I read, I can read, and I can read good books, but I am not forced to do so. It would make me feel sick and want to cry. I'm afraid, afraid of what, afraid of always being endorsed, afraid of others saying I'm a good ***. You, you, will only say, "You want to be number one. Even if you don't have number one, you still want to be among the top ten in the workplace. Make a plan, arrange the script, and I will become the protagonist in it. I want to tell you, I am about to lose my temper." Crazy.
Not everyone can read, and if you are not good at reading, you will not necessarily lose. I don’t want to say that I don’t care if I can read. I just hope you can understand that I am not your doll, please. Don’t weave your own life for me. 7. Senior high school students tear up books and use the materials to write an essay of 800 words
Thoughts on the behavior of candidates from all over the country tearing up books after the college entrance examination. As someone who has passed the college entrance examination, objectively speaking, I have This behavior expresses disapproval! First: The first and most important point is that as a student, love books and cherish books! Books are the source of knowledge, and books themselves are the ladder of human progress! To obtain knowledge from books, of course we must also show respect for books. In fact, this is also a respect for the teacher's knowledge. The behavior of "tearing up books" more or less expresses the abandonment of knowledge! : This is an extremely wasteful and environmentally polluting behavior. Although it is a book that has been learned, it can also be left to younger brothers and sisters for use by the next generation of students. It is a pity to tear it up like this. It is very heartbreaking. Is it? And it’s just the college entrance examination, so you don’t need to study anymore. These books can be used as tutoring materials for you in college! Isn’t every book made by cutting down trees to make paper? This kind of behavior will only create more "white pollution"! Third: From the side, it reflects the students' psychological immaturity and insufficient understanding. The college entrance examination is not an end but a starting point. Competition, but the real competition is the struggle to get out of society! Fourth: This kind of behavior has a negative guiding effect on those young people who are in middle school or even elementary school! 8. An essay of more than 800 words on the topic of reading

The time is fixed on yesterday. I have almost cut off all contact with the downtown area. There has been no signal on my PHS phone and no video games. The battery was almost out. In front of me, there was only a vast expanse of white water. The ferryman was swinging his oars rhythmically, and the ripples were gone, as if no ship had ever passed there before.
The boat was small; The surroundings were covered by thick fog, and the air was filled with the fresh earthy smell of the morning. Apart from the gentle movement of the oars on the water, I could not hear any sound. The ferryman was a short old man with dark skin and a strong body. , pushing and retracting, he carefully and skillfully avoided the oncoming prodigal. I think he must have done this action thousands of times.
I turned my head back to the boat. The board was wet and slippery.
Looking away, there are very few tourists. Most of them are squatting by the edge of the boat with expressionless faces. I don't know if I should call them "tourists", but at least I am not here with the mood of watching. Occasionally, the baby of the aunt next to me would cry for a while, but it seems to be much quieter now. I have never felt so peaceful, just like I couldn't see the ferryman's face hidden under the big bamboo hat.
The mountains on the shore are looming. The boat shuttled through the fog, and the gauze-like fog drifted onto my face, feeling light and leisurely. I'm not used to this feeling, and I don't seem to like it very much. He kept his hands tightly and looked at the scenery slowly moving backwards, suddenly thinking that this was not the first time he had come here. As a result, my heart was like water knocked open by an oar, unable to calm down for a long time. Maybe I was also afraid of loneliness...
I was seasick and couldn't stop vomiting. Feeling dizzy, I lay on the edge of the boat, stuffing the mist into my mouth in big mouthfuls, which was suffocating. Maybe I really shouldn’t take the boat alone. With the corner of my eye, I glanced at the tourists with harmonious faces. They squatted on the board and closed their eyes to rest. They looked very tired
Keywords: Dudu The appearance of crossing
. I spat and wiped the corners of my mouth with paper. The ferryman shouted and asked me if I wanted water. I smiled tiredly at him, and then waved my hand. Most likely it was the kind of mineral water that cost five yuan a bottle. Who should buy that kind of water if they have problems?
Close, close... A black shadow like a wall is getting closer and closer to the ship. Is it a boat? It doesn’t seem like... it’s a bridge! I stood up slowly. The boat began to slow down, and the ferryman took advantage of the pause to throw me a thermos. He smiled honestly: "This is sour plum soup, which is very good for seasickness. You can drink some of it." I stared at the thermos in my hand hesitantly. , and then heard the ferryman’s unnecessary explanation: “Oh… I brought this from home, free of charge.” I was stunned for a moment, and the ferryman had already slowly driven the boat across the bridge.
I used the lid of the thermos bottle to catch some sour plum juice, and then drank it shyly. Before I took the ferry, I knew about some reports about defrauding ferry passengers into buying high-priced items. I had been deceived too many times. When I faced the kindness of the ferry people, I unknowingly brought the previous experiences into my mind. . Suddenly I had an inexplicable feeling, but I had to admit that I did doubt the price.
The corners of my mouth slowly rose, those were just the things that happened to me on my first boat ride. I remember that was a year ago, I was only eleven years old. I am indeed smart and know how to politely push away, but now, it is different from last time.
It’s still early morning, it’s still foggy, it’s still me, I’m still riding the boat alone. However, I seemed to be in a small boat that could overturn at any time, floating in a turbulent river. As a result, those old things were forgotten by the memory, and there was endless water in front of me.
The second time? There must be no regrets, yes, no! ......
The ship gently docked
