Books are the carrier of countless ingenuity of human beings over hundreds of years. They record the knowledge and lessons learned by human beings for decades. Below is a collection of argumentative essays about reading that I have collected for you. Welcome to refer to them.
Article 1 Talking about reading
Books are the carrier of countless ingenuity of human beings over hundreds of years. They record the knowledge and lessons that human beings have memorized for decades. With the development of society, there are more and more books of all kinds in society. When I face the "mountain of books and sea of ??books" that comes to me like an overwhelming amount of books, I can't help but think about why we study.
Gorky said: Books are the ladder of human progress. ?In order to survive and study hard, some people even say that books are the stepping stone to livelihood. If you have a career, you don’t need books. I disagree with this view. As Bacon said, "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, physics makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic makes people eloquent." ?In my opinion, the purpose of studying is not to study for the exam, but to study. If you read only for the exam, it becomes a rote study. I believe that the real purpose of reading should be the following four points:
First, reading allows people to gain knowledge. This is the most obvious effect.
The purpose of the textbooks we have read since childhood is also greater than this. It allows access to a wealth of knowledge, access to profound knowledge, and it also allows people to get degrees and jobs, which are insignificant "by-products". Reading at this level is just for life and knowledge. It is undeniable that the acquisition of knowledge is also very important. After all, if you have read three hundred Tang poems by heart, will you still be able to compose poems if you don’t know how to compose them?
Secondly, reading can improve one’s self-cultivation.
Reading a good book is just like talking to a knowledgeable scholar. His words all sparkle with wisdom, conveying noble accomplishments, and the accomplishments learned from a book. , the improved character is far more profound and thorough than what is experienced in the tempering of life. As Lin Yutang said, if a reader gets the "flavor" of the book, he will express this flavor in his conversation. If his conversation has flavor, he will inevitably show the flavor in his writing. Isn't it the quality of reading that is experienced through the subtle "taste" here?
Thirdly, reading makes people broaden their horizons.
The scope of human life is limited, limited to the chain of space and time. When he can only talk to those around him, his understanding is superficial and his knowledge is rudimentary. But when he opens a book, time and space are no longer limited to him. He can sit at home and see all over the world, taste the ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. He can experience the speed of the horse on the ancient battlefield, and the bow is as startling as a thunderbolt. With its grandeur, one can feel the vitality of the cattle and sheep on the prairie, where the wind blows on the meadows; one can feel the sorrow of the old trees, withered vines and crows, and the small bridges and flowing water at dusk; one can feel that singing in the daytime requires excessive drinking, and the youth is full of joy. The joy of returning home with good friends. In the book, people can soar in the sky of wisdom, and their vision will not only exist in one province, one city, one county, one country, but in the entire universe and entire space. Maybe it’s the fun that comes from reading.
Fourth, reading makes people understand things.
Han Yu once said: People are not born with knowledge, how can they be without knowledge? I think the biggest doubt is that they are ignorant.
Celebrities in reading may just be able to To find the answer, you can learn many methods from watching the world's famous people's behavior, which should be very important for understanding things.
Taste the broad spirit of knowledge in books. Cultivate the elegance and decency of self-cultivation in books, broaden your horizons to see the world through books, and learn methods and principles of doing things in books. This may be the real purpose of reading.
Chapter 2: Happy Reading
Books are human teachers and friends that you can see whenever you want. If reading is a kind of enjoyment, then being able to read is a kind of fun. Enjoying this kind of fun is happiness.
Shakespeare once said: Books are the nutrition of the world. Life without books is like no sunshine; wisdom without books is like a bird without wings. This obviously shows the importance of reading; when life loses sunshine and when birds lose wings, the universe will be eclipsed and the world will no longer be wonderful? Gorky also once said: "Books are the ladder of human progress." I love reading, and I can't even put it down. I love reading so much, but why haven't I made any progress? This question has always troubled me. My mother found the reason for me: swallowing the jujube wholeheartedly. Reading is like climbing a mountain. You have to take one step at a time and climb the peak with solid steps. Books, you must acquire new knowledge that you don't know before you can count as reading a new book. Reading is not just about casually reading the words in the book, but about deeply understanding the meaning of each word in the book and the life it represents, and integrating yourself into the plot of the story, as if you are immersed in it through the words. I saw the story. Reading not only requires thinking, experiencing and imagining, but also integrating the author's essence into one's own mind, which can be used at any time when writing articles; one must read a book over and over again without getting tired, and only after each reading will one discover something new. Only by reading the content can you continuously acquire new knowledge and improve your writing skills.
Only by reading effectively can you increase your knowledge and feel happy. So I got rid of the bad habit of chewing jujube.
I like Zhu Ziqing's "Back View" very much. The reason why I have a special liking for this article is because I was deeply moved by the great fatherly love in the article, and I read the article with mixed feelings. The figure of my father in the article comes to mind again and again. Although he is short and fat, he is tall in my heart. The father's love for his son was so meticulous. He gave everything to his son. Although he was obese, he climbed onto the platform to buy oranges for his son at a densely populated station? I couldn't help but feel immersed in the sincere affection? This Although this article does not have gorgeous words, the author's profound description of his father's back in the article is still fresh in my memory.
Reading helps me know what is sour, what is sweet, what is bitter, and what is spicy. Reading helps me know how to behave with others. The biggest experience that reading gives me is knowledge. ?Read good books, read well, read well? Knowledge is endless. It not only enriches my brain, but also increases my knowledge.
If reading is a happy river, then I would like to be a boat, floating to the unknown distance?
Three refutations? Reading is useless?
Recently, I have heard people discussing the value of reading from time to time. There are two main voices: one is that reading can improve people's quality; the other is that reading is useless.
I quite disagree with the theory that reading is useless. I don't deny that some people can do well on their own without studying, but please note that such people are only a handful. I saw some people on some forums saying that undergraduate students are not as good as junior college students. The passion of their words is really impressive, and their writing style is also good. However, such a view is obviously easy to refute. Similarly, some people are talking about graduate students being inferior to undergraduate students, and college students being inferior to technical secondary school students, etc. These are all untenable fallacies. Take for example the post that said undergraduates are not as good as junior college students. The author only saw a small number of excellent junior college students and a small number of undergraduates who were dawdling in college. He made the mistake of covering up everything with one partiality, which directly led to his Summarize the fallacy that "there is no use reading too much". If we look at it as a whole, who will be more able to stand in society after graduation? Who can be more successful? The answer is obvious, it must be undergraduates. Why? The whole theoretical accomplishment and humanistic accomplishment are superior to you, can you not accept it? If we follow the logic of "the theory of useless reading", then the best person is the illiterate who can't even recognize a word. !
Coincidentally, some people only look at the employment rate and say that graduate students are not as good as undergraduates. This is also biased. The more books you read, the more in-depth your studies will be, and your employment opportunities will become relatively narrower. Therefore, it is normal for graduate students to not be able to find a suitable job for a while. However, whether it is from the perspective of insight into problems or the ability to solve problems, graduate students are generally better than undergraduates, especially in projects with relatively high technical content. This is beyond doubt.
To sum up, reading has its own value, and its value cannot be denied by anyone.
However, this does not mean that the higher the level of study, the better, nor does it encourage everyone to take the postgraduate and doctoral examinations. Every job has to be done by someone. Therefore, after determining your career direction based on your abilities and interests, you can study as needed, as long as it is enough. Those who argue that reading is useless have a common problem, which is to overemphasize the importance of ability. Some people are very smart and can master anything just by looking at it. However, if they read more books and improve their theoretical literacy, their abilities will definitely make a qualitative leap. Comparing people with the same intelligence level, those who have gone to college and those who have not gone to college, will the gap immediately appear? The temperament of the whole person is different. The knowledge we learned in textbooks was criticized by many people, saying that they would not be able to use it when working after learning it. I admit that some subjects are really rubbish, but we have no way to deny that when we learn most of the things that some people think are useless, even if we don’t use them in the future, our thinking methods and thinking abilities are unknowingly improving. Being influenced by these "useless subjects" is subtle. To give a very simple example, look at it, they are all learning those "useless subjects". The thinking of liberal arts students and the reaction of science students on the same problem can be very different! People who have studied mathematics and When compared with people who have never studied mathematics, there is a big gap in the logical rigor of thinking.
Denying the importance of reading is a sign of impetuousness and a serious mistake. I hope those who argue that reading is useless can wake up soon.
Chapter 4 Reading can nourish the heart
People often ask me about my hobbies, but in fact, my hobbies sound easy, but they are an art. Reading is what I like to do most. Reading can make me feel calm and at ease. If I were asked to tell you the benefits of reading, I would tell you: reading can nourish the heart.
I remember that from the first day I entered school, the most common thing I heard was "Read more, read good books". No matter how time passes, this sentence will always be true. Reading has become an indispensable part of my life since I read books with Chinese pinyin in elementary school.
In junior high school, teachers require everyone to take reading notes. Now as a high school student, I read at least one book every month and complete a book report. I think the importance of reading to us can be seen through the consistent requests of teachers for more than ten years. Reading nourishes the heart of each of us.
Reading can increase knowledge and give us a richer knowledge reserve. From ancient times to the present, which great man does not love reading? Sun Yat-sen loved reading and enriched his knowledge with books. Mao Zedong loved reading. When his eyesight was bad in his old age, he still insisted on reading books with large prints. Books accompany them in their lives. Reading nourishes their hearts.
Reading is a science. When reading, you cannot scan through ten lines at a glance. What you need to do is to calm down and patiently hold a book to understand its meaning. For some books, depending on the time, place, and state of mind, the truth you understand will be different. Sometimes, the problems you encounter in life may be solved by reading. Whenever I feel down and helpless, I usually choose reading. Books made me no longer confused. When I read, I found the power contained in the lines. It was that force that told me to strengthen my faith and go on bravely. Reading nourishes my heart.
There is a famous saying that you must have heard? Books are the ladder of human progress. Yes, the height of life is accumulated from books. When you read more books, your personal cultivation will improve unconsciously. You can taste "Beijing dialect" and learn the culture of old Beijing in Lao She's works; you can feel the trick of fate in Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm"; you can travel around the world in famous books? This kind of reading is truly valuable of reading.
A person can live without material wealth, but he must not live without spiritual wealth. And spiritual wealth is exactly what reading can bring. Let reading nourish the heart!
? Reading can nourish the heart? This title reveals the relationship between reading and the soul, and the whole text is laid out around this point of view. Without "I" in the composition, there would be no real life and no real feelings. To express your personality in your composition, you must express yourself confidently. The author of this article fully expresses my personal understanding of reading. The author sorts out the different ways of reading over the past ten years, and writes in a real and concrete way about the understanding of the role of reading and the methods of reading.
Chapter 5 Reading and Walking with Life
Still remember in "Eugenie Grandet", the old Grandet greedily grabbed the metal cross before he died. It is this The last raised hand cost him his life. Such a tragedy made me think, if in the end he had not greedily grabbed the cross, but had asked Eugenie to read him a few pages of poetry, I wonder if his death would have been so hideous. It was also the last moment. A few hours before his death, Chairman Mao got up and read more than 20 pages of "Chu Ci" with the help of a nurse. Comparing the two, I can't help but say: Reading should go with life.
Reading for young people is intended to make them grow and encourage them to make progress. When we were young, our thirst for knowledge was like seedlings asking for water in a severe drought. Books were like rain, which greatly satisfied the needs of teenagers. At the same time, books also open up a vast world for young people. The French Revolution in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", Tsarist Russia in "The Man in the Trap", the War of Liberation and the """ period in "Alive", the early days of rural reform and opening up in "The Ordinary World", even though you You have not experienced these periods, but books can take you to travel through the past and present, and in all directions. Someone once said: Either travel or study, body and soul, one must be on the road. ?Young people, please set out quickly to find your own way!
Reading in middle age is intended to make it calm. When people reach middle age, they have much more experience than young people, and they are much more energetic than older people. This creates a consequence? palpitations, or restlessness. Middle-aged people often have the energy to do something, but due to limited experience, they cannot do it, but their hearts are constantly restless. At this time, you need the fragrance of books to calm your mind. As the saying goes: Young people don't read "Water Margin", old people don't read "Three Kingdoms". However, there are no restrictions on reading for middle-aged people, which may mean that too many books are suitable for middle-aged people to read. A book, a cup of tea, and some afternoon sunshine can calm and calm the restless hearts of middle-aged people. Nothing can go far without tranquility.
Reading in old age means experiencing happiness. A gray-haired old man, whose children and grandchildren have not yet completed their careers and studies. The old man is alone, and a feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously. At this time, a book and a cup of tea accompany the old man to spend a day of leisure time, allowing the old man to appreciate the happiness of the people in the book. Before you know it, it's almost dusk, shopping for food and cooking, waiting for the reunion of the children and grandchildren, having dinner, and experiencing the happiness of the family. ?Ding dong When happiness knocks on the door and children and grandchildren return, a sense of happiness will naturally come.
Gorky said: Books are the ladder of human progress. ?It is true that the process from birth to death is a process of continuous learning and continuous progress.
Read, let books go with life!
