英文寫作精講精練：如何找到下筆思路

　Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.

　我認為跟著老師學習會更好，因為有了老師的幫助，我們可以學得更快、更有趣。

　I would argue in this essay that learning from teachers is more advisable in that with the help of our teachers, we can learn faster and learn in a more enjoyable manner.

　首先，跟著老師學會比自己學更快捷。我們都知道，老師是受過專業訓練的，在某一門特定的科目上肯定比我們了解得多得多，而且，老師有豐富的教學經驗可以保證我們不走彎路，讓我們很快弄明白我們應該明白的一切，這一點是我們自學所做不到的，畢竟我們的知識有限，解決問題的能力有限，否則，我們就根本不需要老師了。

　First of all, leaning from teachers can make sure that we learn more quickly. As we all know, teachers have received professional trainings which means that they are supposed to know much more than we do on a certain subject. Besides, they have rich experience which can help ensure that we learn more effectively and that we can quickly understand what we should understand. This will be hard to achieve if we learn by ourselves, for, after all, both our knowledge and ability to solve problems are limited; otherwise, we would not need teachers at all.

　其次，跟著老師學會更有趣。學習是一個漫長的過程，沒有耐心和毅力是難以堅持到底的。這就對我們提出了挑戰：如何才能夠堅持到底呢？要培養興趣。俗話說：興趣是最好的老師。有了興趣，我們就會感到原本枯燥乏味的學習突然間變得有趣了，我們願意去學習了。而做到這一點絕非易事，因為學習的全過程可能充滿了艱辛和苦惱。但是，老師有辦法使自己的課堂生動有趣，這就在很大程度上激發了我們的學習熱情，從而使我們能夠從學習中發現樂趣，堅持到底。

　Second, it is more fun to learn from teachers. As we know, learning is a long process which requires a lot of patience and endurance to be carried on. This naturally poses a great challenge to us all: how can we make it? The answer is simple: to develop interest. As the saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” With interest, we would feel that learning, which used to be so boring, suddenly becomes so much fun and thus we are happy and self-motivated to learn. To do this is nothing easy because the entire process of learning is full of hardships and despairs. However, our teachers are capable of making their classroom teaching lively and interesting which in turn, can greatly arouse our passion and enthusiasm for learning and finally enable us to find fun in it, thus carrying it on and on.

　當然，我們不能否認，自學也是必要的。如果期望一切都靠老師來教授，那是不現實的。再想想：老師跟我們在一起的時間畢竟是有限的，很多時候也就僅僅限於在課堂上的那些時間，課後老師無論如何也沒有隨時隨地跟我們在一起了，這就需要我們具備自主學習的能力和習慣。

　Of course, we can not deny the fact that self-learning is also indispensable. It is simply unrealistic to totally rely on our teachers for leaning everything. Just think: how much time can our teachers spend with us every day? Very limited, right? In most cases, they can only be together with us as long as their lectures last and have no way to be with us any longer. So, what are we supposed to do with this reality? To develop the ability and habit for self-study, namely, study by ourselves.

　綜上所述，在老師的指導下學習可以使學習本身成為一件輕鬆快樂的事情，但是我們也不能完全依賴老師，我們還需要投入很多時間和精力進行自學，只有這樣的結合，才能保證我們能夠學到知識、掌握知識。

　Based on the above discussion, we see that leaning under the guidance of teachers can make the learning process itself easier and more enjoyable. However, we should never depend entirely on our teachers. We also need to invest a lot of time and effort into self-study and only by doing so can we be sure to really learn and gain knowledge.
