英語在全國很多大學都是必修課之一。盡管相當多學生認為他們只是為了大學英語考試而被迫選擇英語課，但我學習是為了考試之外的目的。我應該承認英語是在大學里令我印象最深的一門課。

我認為英語的實用價值是一個強烈的動力。一方面，英語給我的生活極大地增加了方便和舒適。例如，由于幾乎所有互聯網上的信息和超過半數世界科技期刊都是英語的，良好掌握英語將方便我的工作。其次，英語良好也意味著更多機會。隨著中國外資的不斷增加，作為國際商務語言的英語將在個人職業生涯中發揮重要作用。

多年來，正是英語課實用性的前景激勵我努力學習。

預測范文

There is a saying that “The real danger is not that the computer will begin to think like man, but that man will begin to think like the computer.”The purpose of the saying is to show us that utmost importance should be attached toinnovation and creativity.

To begin with, an attitude ofinnovationcould be said to be the watchword, or motto of science.Think of all the innumerable timesa scientific experiment must be carried out, all the laboratory tests, all the live trials, before a new medicine or vaccine is discovered.In addition,innovationis also responsible for many of today’s business successes. For instance, it was only afterfour years and four different tries of varying business modelsthat an entrepreneur finally found success, and went to become the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies.

To sum up, in any field of endeavor, it seems necessary to first put great emphasis oninnovationbefore one can finally reach success.

參考譯文

有句話說“真正的危險不是電腦將開始像人一樣思考，而是人類開始向電腦一樣思考”。這句話的目的是告訴我們應該充分重視創新。

首先，創新的態度可以說是科學研究的信條。想想看，只有在進行了無數次的科學實驗、實驗室檢測和活體試驗之后，才能發明出新藥物和新疫苗。其次，創新也是當今許多企業能夠成功的原因。例如，某家公司曾經嘗試了四種不同的商業模式，歷經四年才取得成功。后來這家企業的老總也當上了最大一家互聯網公司的董事長。

總之，在任何領域，一個人似乎只有在重視創新之后，才能獲得最后的成功。
