Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it。” You can give one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words。
寫作思路解析
1、本題首段應該通過理論知識與實踐技能之間的關係引出主題;
2、第二段可以進行舉例論證，列舉自己參加兼職打工、志願者活動等親身經驗證明實踐技能的重要性;
3、尾段可以進行歸納結論或提出建議措施：一方面我們應該努力積累理論知識，另一方面我們應該積極培養自己的實踐技能。
參考範文：
Would you want a doctor to operate on you who has only learned about operations from a textbook? The answer to this is obviously a resounding “No!” Knowledge gained from books must always be complemented by knowledge gained from actual experience, to be of real value。
For me actually practicing a particular action or experiment myself and experiencing the result, leaves a much deeper and lasting impression than what I get from simply reading or listening. If I read about how to write an essay or listened to someone talk about writing an essay, I still wouldn’t feel that I knew how to write an essay until I wrote one for myself. It is the case, however, that writing the essay would be based on the methods I learned intellectually. The same can be said for other skills, like sports, for example. A person can know all the rules of a game, associated skills and strategies, but until that person gets on a court with a ball in motion, the theory remains flat, useless。
To sum up, as to theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the latter is certainly more important. Just as British churchman Thomas Fuller put it, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it。”
參考譯文
一個大夫只學過課本上的手術知識，叫他給你主刀你是否願意?顯然，這個問題的答案是一聲響亮的“不”。書本知識要有實際價值，就必須同實踐經驗相結合。
對我來說，實踐某件事，或者說親自去嘗試某項活動並感受最後的結果，要比讀書聽課給我留下的.印象更深刻，更持久。如果只是讀到如何寫作，或是聽別人講解寫作方法，我覺得自己還是不會寫，非得親自寫一篇才行。當然，實際寫作中也會用到以前學過的寫作方法。掌握其他技能也是一個道理。以體育爲例，一個人可以通曉所有的比賽規則和相關戰術技巧，但除非這個人上場打球，否則那堆理論就是呆板無用的。
總之，對於理論知識和實踐技能，相比之下，實踐經驗當然更重要。正如英國教士托馬斯 富勒所說：“知識是一種財富，但實踐是打開財富的鑰匙。”
