Question:
"Practicality is now our great idol, which all powers and talents must serve. Anything that is not obviously practical has little value in today's world."
作者能较灵活准确地使用词汇,也能较准确地使用学术词汇;增加一些从句的使用,文章会更棒;行文稍显不流畅,应增加文中衔接词的使用。
In recent days, more and more people are concerned the problem of practicality of our knowledges. My opinion is the practicability and theoretical are the same as important. My reasons are as follows. First of all, the practicability of our knowledges and skills directly affect our life and salary. A useful technology allows us to get a good wage. For example, the students of computer science or mechanical processing are more likely to find a job than the students of biological chemistry or quantum science. Because computer science or mechanical processing is a practical technology and closely connected with life. And like the subject of biological chemistry or quantum most is a theory, so whether know it is to make no difference. Further more, a theory was found to promote social development and technological progress. For example, the thoery of evolution and the theory of relativity are proposed to allow people to change a way of thinking, so we can not say them has no value. And Like peom and art also has no merit, but it make people`s spiritual satisfaction. In sum, people not only need living skills and also need mental pleasure. So anything that whether the practicality is not the standard of its value in today`s world.
