e unable to do this. Once their land is taken away from them they will die. Third and last, endangered animals are an important part of the biodiversity of our planet. If they disappear, we cannot predict what the effect will be. Therefore, we should treat such animals as a valuable resource to be protected.
To sum up, the world’s endangered animals are an important resource and we should protect them by setting aside some land for them. Although mankind’s need for land continues to grow, people are intelligent and inventive enough to put the land they have to better use. In this way, we can have enough land for farming, housing and industry, and preserve the biodiversity of the planet at the same time.

保留土地给濒临绝种的动物
地球上的土地就只有这么多，所以我们可以利用土地的方式有限。有些人认为人类对于耕地、居住以及工业的需求应该摆在第一位，但是有人则认为，有些土地应该留给濒临绝种的动物。我的看法是，基于下列的理由，我们应该保留一些土地给地球上的动物。
首先，人类对土地的需求在不断增加。如果这些需求不以某种方式来加以抑制，人类最后将会开发完地球上所有可用的土地。到那时候，人类将没有栽种作物的空间，而且全部的野生动物将会和其他宝贵的资源一样消失殆尽。其次，人类可以创新并且以更有效率的方式来使用已经拥有的土地，动物则无法做到这一点。一旦土地被剥夺，它们就会死亡。第三点，也是最后一点，濒临绝种的动物是我们地球上物种多元性的重要组成部分。如果它们消失了，我们无法预测将会造成什么样有影响。因此，我们应该把这些动物视为需要保护的珍贵资源。
总之，全世界濒临绝种的动物都是一项重要的资源，我们应该加以保护，并且保留一些土地给它们。虽然人类对于土地的需求在持续增加，但人类很聪明，而且具有创造力，能够更充分利用所拥有的土地。如此一来，我们会有足够的土地耕种、居住，并用来发展工业，而且能同时保持地球物种的多元性。

An Important Skill
The world today is a very competitive place. Therefore, it is necessary to develop some skills to increase one’s chances of success. Many skills, for example, leadership, a second language, and technical skills such as computer programming, are very useful today. However, I believe that the most useful skill is the ability to communicate well with others.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of good communication skills. In today’s society we have to work cooperatively with others. A good communicator finds it easier to put forth his ideas clearly. In this way there will be fewer misunderstandings, which can lead to bad feelings as well as lost time and effort. In addition, a person with good communication skills is a good mediator and negotiator. He or she can play a valuable role in resolving disputes and enhancing cooperation. This means that a good communicator is often a natural leader. Finally, with good communication skills, it is easier to persuade others to accept your point of view. Having your views and plans approved of by others is a vital step on the way to success.
For all the above reasons, it is my belief that strong communication skills are the most important to have. Good communication is important in all situations, so a skillful communicator will always be in high demand. "

一项重要的技能
现今的世界竞争十分激烈，因此，必须培养一些技能以增加自己成功的机会。许多技能，如领导能力、第二语言能力，以及技术能力，如电脑程式设计等，现在都非常有用。然而，我认为最有用的技能是擅长和别人沟通的能力。
良好的沟通技巧，其重要性再怎么强调也不为过。在现今的社会中，我们必须与他人合作。擅长沟通的人比较容易能将自己的意见清楚地表达出来。如此一来，便能减少误会，以免造成不良的感觉，甚至浪费时间和力气。此外，具有良好沟通技巧的人会是一个优秀的调停者与协商者，在解决纷争、加强合作时可以扮演重要的角色。这就表示，善于沟通的人常常就是天生的领导者。最后，具有良好的沟通技巧使你比较容易说服别人来接受你的观点，而你的意见和计划能被别人认同是迈向成功很重要的一步。
基于上述理由，我相信，卓越的沟通技巧是最重要的必备技能。良好的沟通在所有的情况中都非常重要。所以，善于沟通的人总是非常受欢迎的。 << 上一页 [11] |
