1．Our English Teacher

Our English teacher, Ms Huang, came to our school in 1970. She has been an English teacher for more than 30 years. She works hard and has been a model teacher for many years.

She is kind and friendly to us after class, but She is rather strict with us in class. She always encourages us to speak and read more English. She often says, "Practice makes perfect."

She is good at teaching and tries her best to make every lesson lively and interesting. She often gives us slide shows, teaches us English songs and helps us to put on short English plays.

She is not only our teacher but also our friend. We all respect and love her.

Tomorrow she is going to attend an important meeting, at which she will be given a medal for her advanced deeds.

2．My English Teacher

Our English teacher, Mr. Wang, is a strongly built thirty-year-old man, who is often simply dressed. He has been teaching us English ever since he graduated from the English Department, Beijing Normal University in 1993. He devotes all his time and energy to teaching, often working late into the night preparing his lessons. He is capable of making his lessons lively and interesting, and all of us like his lessons. He is very strict with us but he shows us great concern. He offers us help whenever we need it. We all consider him not only as our good teacher but also as our close friend. We all respect and love him.

3． Our school

Our school is located at the centre of Beijing, It is one of the largest schools in the city with over 2,000 students and about 200 teachers. Our school subjects include politics, Chinese, English, maths, history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology and so on. Most of us pay great attention to the study of English, Chinese and maths because they are very important subjects in the university entrance exam. We take special interest in English. We have spent much time on it, but we still find it difficult to learn the language well. In the afternoon when class is over, we enjoy staying at school for about one hour for some physical exercises before leaving for home.

4． My Home Village

My home village is a small one. Its in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is, its very beautiful.

There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring, we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high. In summer, the trees are green and the grass is green, too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild applesare nice to eat. In autumn, the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter, when it snows, all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue, the air is clean, the water is sweet and the people are very friendly. I love my hometown!

5．Changes in Our Life

Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example. My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past. But now we call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. But now we get the news by watching TV. Another big change is in my living conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with furniture. But now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. In short, our life has become comfortable and convenient.

Dear editor,

I?m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people?s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua

Dear Jane, Glad to hear from you and you’re welcome to China in July. The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey. Yours sincerely, Li Hua

议论文素材：文明

(1)引言

文明是社会发展和进步的标志。一个社会的文明程度的高低，反映了这个社会全体成员综合素质的水平。

文明体现在每个人的行为举止上，要养成整个社会讲文明的风气，就要从每个人做起，从自己做起，在日常生活中培养自己文明行为。

周恩来的风采

世人除了敬佩周恩来的高尚情操、献身精神、精明智慧和学识渊博外，还十分仰慕他的迷人风采。他仪表整洁，举止文明，态度优雅。他身为国家总理，但总是谦恭有礼，服务员给他端茶，他常常起身双手接过去，并微笑点头表示感谢;外出视察，每到一处，他总要和服务员、厨师、警卫员一一握手，亲切地道谢;在公共场所他总是模范地遵守一切公共秩序，遇见人民群众，他都要微笔着向大家招手致意;他每天工作18小时，每次接见外宾，总是提前到达，站在门口和大家一一握手，态度和蔼诚恳，会见结束，他总把客人送到大门外，直到汽车开动离开。外国记者赞美他：“大凡见到他的人，都认为他具有一种魅力，精明智慧，人品非凡而且令人神往。”

总理道歉

霍克任澳大利亚总理时，有一次在一家商场内与一位老人就养老金问题发生争执。霍克一时冲动，骂那位老人：“愚蠢的老家伙。”老人因此把他告到法院。霍克举行记者招待会，就自己不文明的语言，公开向这位老者道歉。他说：“那天我非常困恼，但这不能成为我使用那种措辞的理由。如果我确实伤害了他的话，我愿意就此向这位先生道歉，诚请宽容我的不逊。”

65) Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.

66) However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.

67) Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.

68) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

69) Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.

70) Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects. They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities. Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.

71) But is it really the case? The information Ive collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think. In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.

72) Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents. Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.

73) Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.

74) From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in peoples life and economic growth.

75) Those urban planners who are blind to this point will pay a heavy price, which they cannot afford it.

76) There is a growing tendency these days for many people who live in rural areas to come into and work in city. This problem has caused wide public concern in most cities all over the world.

77) An investigation shows that many emigrants think that working at city provide them with not only a higher salary but also the opportunity of learning new skills.

78) It must be noted that improvement in agriculture seems to not be able to catch up with the increase in population of rural areas and there are millions of peasants who still live a miserable life and have to face the dangers of exposure and starvation.

79) Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.

80) Many sociologists point out that rural emigrants are putting pressure on population control and social order; that they are threatening to take already scarce city jobs; and that they have worsened traffic and public health problems.

81) Now people in growing numbers are beginning to believe that learning new skills and knowledge contributes directly to enhancing their job opportunities or promotion opportunities.

82) An investigation shows that many older people express a strong desire to continue studying in university or college.

83) For the majority of people, reading or learning a new skill has become the focus of their lives and the source of their happiness and contentment after their retirement.

84) For people who want to adopt a healthy and meaningful life style, it is important to find time to learn certain new knowledge. Just as an old saying goes: it is never too late to learn.

85) There is a general debate on the campus today over the phenomenon of college or high school students doing a part-time job.

86) By taking a major-related part-job, students can not only improve their academic studies, but gain much experience, experience they will never be able to get from the textbooks.

87) Although peoples lives have been dramatically changed over the last decades, it must be admitted that, shortage of funds is still the one of the biggest questions that students nowadays have to face because that tuition fees and prices of books are soaring by the day

88) Consequently, the extra money obtained from part-time job will strongly support students to continue to their study life.

89) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that part-time job can produce a far-reaching impact on students and they should be encouraged to take part-time job, which will benefit students and their family, even the society as a whole.

90) These days, people in growing numbers are beginning to complain that work is more stressful and less leisurely than in past. Many experts point out that, along with the development of modern society, it is an inevitable result and there is no way to avoid it.

近来不时地听到人们议论读书的价值，主要有两个声音：一是读书能够提高人的素养;另一种自然就是读书无用论了。

对于读书无用论，我是相当的不以为然。我不否认有些人不读书也能靠自我的潜力混得很好，但请注意，这样的人只占极少数。我看到某些论坛上有人说本科生不如专科生，言辞之激实在令人叹服，文笔也不错。但是，这样的观点显然是很容易驳斥的。类似的，也有人在议论研究生不如本科生、大学生不如中专生云云，都是些站不住脚的谬论。

就拿那篇说本科生不如专科生的帖子来说吧，作者只看到了少部分优秀的专科生和少部分在大学里混日子的本科生，犯了以偏盖全的错误，直接导致他总结出“读书多没有用”的谬论。如果从总体上来说，毕业后谁更能在社会上站得住脚?谁能更有成就?答案就很明显了，必然是本科生。为什么?整个理论修养和人文修养都比你高一筹，你能不服吗?如果按照“读书无用论”的逻辑，那么优秀的人非连斗大的“一”字也不认得的文盲莫属!

无独有偶，某些人只看了就业率，就说研究生不如本科生，这也是有失偏颇的。书读得越多，学习得就越深入，就业面也就相对变狭窄了。因此，研究生一时找不到适宜的工作也是正常的。但是，无论从洞察问题的眼光还是解决问题的潜力上看，研究生总体来说都要比本科生强，尤其是技术含量比较高的项目上，这是毋庸置疑的。

综上所述，读书自有它的价值所在，而且它的价值是不容任何人否认的。

但是这并不是说读书读的级别越高越好，更不是鼓励每个人都去考研究生博士生博士后。什么样的工作都得有人去做，因此，根据自我的潜力兴趣确定了自我的职业方向之后，根据需要去学习，够用就好。

“读书无用论”者都有一个通病，就是过分强调潜力的重要性。有些人是很聪明，什么事情都是看一下就能上手。但是，如果他们读书多点书，提高理论素养，那么他们的潜力肯定会有一个质的飞跃。同样智力水平的人，读过大学的跟没读过大学的人一比，差距立刻就出来了——整个人的气质都不一样。我们学的课本上的知识，受到很多人的指责，说学了之后出来工作用不上。我承认有些科目确实是很垃圾，但是，我们没有办法否认，我们在学习大部分某些人认为是无用的东西的时候，就算以后用不上，我们的思维方法和思维潜力都在不知不觉中被这些“无用的科目”潜移默化。举个很简单的例子，你看一下，同样都是学那些“无用的科目”，文科生的思维跟理科生在同一个问题上的反应能够相差十万八千里!学过数学的人跟没学过数学的人一比较，思考的逻辑的严密也有很大的差距。

否认读书的重要性，是浮躁的表现，是严重的错误。期望那些读书无用论者能早日醒悟吧。

高考英语作文热门话题——运动会

高中阶段，小编最喜欢的除了放假就是学校开运动会了，因为可以我们可以玩三天！而且还是高质量的玩法。那假如让我写一篇关于体育运动或者运动会的文章呢？呃，这个……让我看看……

Last month we had a sports meeting. Though the weather wasnt very fine that day, the students were all very excited and the whole school was alive.This time, I was even more excited.

上个月，我们学校开了运动会。虽然那天天气并不是非常好，但是同学们都非常兴奋，整个学校一片欢乐的气氛，我更是激动的要命。

Because I went in for the sports meeting and my item was high jump. I didnt want to get any place, I only wanted to enjoy the game because I knew I wasnt good at sports. Joozone.com.

因为我参加了运动会，并且我的项目是跳高。因为我并不擅长于运动，所以我没有想过要取得名次，只想好好的享受比赛。

When I got to the field with my friend. I was both excited and nervous. When I saw the first height, my heart could hardly heat.

当我和朋友们走进赛区时。我又激动又紧张。当我看到第一个高度时，我的心都快跳爆了。

How high it was! It was higher than our desks. I couldnt believe my eyes. This was too high for me to jump over. I wasnt nervous at that time, while I was a bit afraid. But I had gone there, I must have a try.

好高啊! 比我们课桌都高一大截。我简直不能相信我的眼睛。这让我跳过去，简直太高了。我那时已经不是紧张不安了，取而代之的是害怕。但是我都到这里了，我必须得尝试一下。

Not long after, the game began. The first person was great. He jumped over easily. I was too surprised to say a word. The second was good, too. The third nearly jumped over, but he wasnt bad…

不一会儿，比赛开始了。第一个运动员做的非常好，很容易就跳过去了。我简直惊呆了。第二个也一样顺利完成。第三个刚好越过，但是他不是最差的一个……

It was my turn. I had a deep breath and then ran towards. In front of the pole, I began to 洛基英语是中国英语培训市场上的一朵奇葩，是全球已被验证的东方人英语学习的最佳模式。洛基英

jump. Oh, no! My right foot hit the pole. “I failed.” I thought. And then, another unlucky thing happened.

轮到我了。我深呼一口气跑过去。在杆子前面，我开始跃起。噢，不!我的右脚碰到了杆子。我觉得“我失败了”。但是接下来，更糟糕的事发生了。

I didnt stand firm and I tumbled. I hurt my back badly. At that moment I felt my back was broken. It was too painful. It seemed that the people around field all didnt know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture.

我没有站稳，摔倒了。我的背狠狠的摔了一下。那时我感觉我的背摔坏了。太疼了。我周围的人似乎都不知道发生了什么，他们只是一个劲的笑我愚蠢的姿态。

After a very short rest, I stood up.

休息了一会后，我站了起来。

I push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face. My friend hurried to come to me. He asked me if this was terrible. I was too pained with my back to answer his questions. I only shook my head. I was sad. Not only I had hurt my back but also I couldnt go on in the game. I had to see the others jump and wish them to get a 洛基英语是中国英语培训市场上的一朵奇葩，是全球已被验证的东方人英语学习的最佳模式。洛基英

good place.

我揉揉我疼痛的背红着脸走出了比赛区域。我的朋友跑过来。他问我是否严重。我强忍背部疼痛回答了他的问题。我只摇头。我很沮丧。不仅仅是摔坏了背，更主要的是我不能再继续参加比赛了。我只能观看其他人的比赛，并祝福他们得到一个好名次。

Though I didnt have the whole game. I was still very happy. Because a lot of my

classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places. They were all best in my eyes. I was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.

虽然我没有能完成比赛。但我依旧很高兴。因为我的同学们都尽其所能的完成比赛，并且都取得了很好的成绩。他们在我眼里是最棒的。我很感谢他们能为班级做出这么大的贡献。

现在工作了，运动的时间也越来越少了。但是小编还是建议大家每天都要想办法运动一下哦！啥？不知道怎么运动？我们的免费英语站上有方法哦！

假设你叫李华，你将作为高三毕业生代表，根据以下要点在毕业晚会上用英文作一简短的告别演讲：

1、对三年高中生活的怀念;

2、对老师的感谢;

3、对母校的祝福。

My teachers and fellow students,

In a couple of weeks, we’ll say goodbye to our mother school. How time flies! Now It’s really hard for me to put my feelings into words. The past three years has been really a wonderful journey with you guys, full of laughter and tears.

To make the journey safe and fruitful, our great teachers contributed their time, energy, love and the whole heart. Here, we are extremely grateful for all that you, dear teachers, have done for us.

It’ll soon be the time for us to depart, though unwillingly. But it is not the end. It just means that we’re going to begin a new journey.

Finally, on behalf of all the graduates present here, let me extend our sincere wishes for our mother school and respectable teachers. Thank you!

[高考英语满分作文：毕业告别

有人说，不需要远，不需要高，只要会飞就是鸟。

有人说，不需要快，不需要深，只要能游就是鱼。

我却疑惑不解。如若为鸟，何不做1只搏击长空的苍鹰?如若为鱼，何不做1尾遨游深海的猛鲨?

为什么我们要宽容1幕蹩脚的戏，原谅1幅拙劣的画，谅解1首差劲的诗?诚然，生命的不完美需要1颗理解的心，但绝非是1些浅薄的自我安慰，绝非是对平庸的迁就，因为迁就平庸就是毁灭成功!

如果1只鸟仅仅安于平稳地飞行，那么它永远只是1只平凡的鸟而已，如果1尾鱼仅仅安于浅水的游弋，那么它永远看不到深海醉人的湛蓝。

人，生来便是1个独特的生命体，正因为个性与棱角而与众不同。当生活的溪流冲刷着我们的时候，棱角被磨成圆滑，我们就会成为众多沉默平凡鹅卵石的1员。

因为平庸，鹅卵石失去了石头的天性，而那种天性本是1股能生出1个齐天大圣、能惊天亦能动地的力量。

生于平庸，死于平庸，是人生最大的悲哀。我们需要对平庸说1声“不”。成功的桂冠，从来就只钟情于那些不安于平庸、冲破桎梏的勇者。

我终于明白古人创造夸父逐日道渴而死的神话的意义了。从未有人想过去摘取那天空中可望而不可即、光热无限的太阳，而夸父正是不安于平庸的1个。虽然他倒在追日的途中，但谁又能说，它不是成功者呢?他临死抛出的手杖，化为邓林，为后来的追日者庇荫，成就了1个伟大的神话。

如若为土，为什么不能是山冈?

如若为水，为什么不能是海洋?

如若为树，为什么不能是白杨?

如若为风景，为什么不能黯淡所有风光?

迁就平庸，可能会离艰难的急流远1点，但同时，惰性就多1点，冲劲就少1点，成功的希望就渺茫1点。

世界是不完美的，正因为这样，才有无数为追求完美、逃离平庸的先人。

每个人脚下都有1方土，但并非每个人都有1条路。

不再迁就，走向成功，从拒绝平庸开始!

自从以前开始，我们因为不能去学校，所以就有了钉钉。钉钉是一种很像微信的东西，不能去学校就在钉钉上直播学习，下面是我在钉钉看直播的学习生活，早晨7：10被我妈妈叫起来做了一些杂事之后开始读书，完成背诵任务。八点眼妈妈带着口罩去厂里干活，手机留在家里方便我写作业。练字和练字并不错过直播，当作业写完了我就可以干，我就可以玩一些休闲类的游戏，等待老师的批改评语，然后时间可然后的`时间可以用来散步，浇花，上厕所玩等下模式。光散步回来时，如果直播还没开始就眯一会儿，直到钉钉响了才看一下情况，在这样的局面下没有完成一项，如果老师让你回答的问题正是没有写完的那一项，你不会的话了，那么老师就会猜疑你那项作业完成的。不好或者是没有完成就会批评你。

看完直播后，我就去帮忙帮忙妈妈把草除抽水，到了晚上，我正在给妈妈捶背，叮叮一声响，我一看老师给我的作业批改了。我就快速的去改作业。改完作业之后，我继续给妈妈捶背并看电视。

就是我的线上学习生活。每天都要干这些事。

We all live on the earth. The earth is our home. We have only one earth. We must take care of it. It gives us the best environment. If we harm it, it will be angry. And then we will have a terrible end. There are three problems in our earth, they are pollution, disaster and illness.

It’s our duty to protect our environment. So we must plant more trees, protect the flowers and the trees, save energy, reduce the pollution. We should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

Protecting the nature is very important. It’s our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.

If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.

【参考译文】

让我们做些事情来拯救我们的环境

我们都生活在地球上。地球是我们的家。我们只有一个地球。我们必须照顾它。它给了我们最好的环境。如果我们伤害它，它会生气。然后我们将有一个可怕的结局。我们的地球有三个问题：污染、灾难和疾病。

保护环境是我们的职责。因此，我们必须种植更多的树木，保护花草树木，节约能源，减少污染。我们应该要求政府控制工厂的污染。

保护自然是非常重要的。保持我们的环境干净整洁是我们的责任。

如果每个人都为保护环境做出贡献，地球将变得更加美丽。

麻雀因为与雄鹰语言不通，无法了解到在高空中接受风雨电击磨砺的豪情;小草因为与大树语言不通，无从得知屹立苍穹，傲视群雄的壮志;小溪因为读不懂大海的阔远，只能在原野上汩汩细流。由于语言沟通的问题，造成了冯妇葬身火海的悲剧。所以，我们要跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通桥梁，到达成功彼岸。

跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通的桥梁，是人要取得成就的前提。人要想在人生航途上胜利扬帆，就少不了语沟通这一船桨。人从呱呱落地起，就学说话，牙牙学语，由于语言沟通，孩童了解到父母之爱，了解朋友之情。由于语言的沟通，少年读到了壮志豪情，读到了理想的追求。古猿从高山走向平坦的大地过程，实际上就是跨越语言障碍的过程。跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通的桥梁，未必能使你一路平坦踏上成功大道，却一定是你人生征途必不可少的行。

跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通的桥梁，是一个民族要生存在世界民族之林的基石。翻开那长长的历史卷轴，你会清楚地看见，凯末尔改革第一步就是改革语言，凯末尔深知，只有跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通桥梁，才能使埃及这个贫困的国家再次跃起，恢复昔日古罗马的辉煌。再看唐朝的玄奘，他不是在灯下孜孜不倦地翻译成天竺的经文么?他知道，只有把天竺梵文翻译成汉语，天竺的佛法才能在中原弘扬。跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通的桥梁，可以使民族间的经济文化相互交流，各取所长，为振兴民族之用。

由于语言沟通的问题，小布什无视伊拉克人民那一双恐惧无助的眼睛，利用自己手中的炮弹，制造出那一个充满硝烟的世界，尸横遍野，哭声连天，生灵涂炭。所以，我们必须跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通的桥梁，为我们人类营造一个和平的的生存环境。

跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通桥梁，是我们自身发展的前提，是民族振兴的基石，是人类营造和平的生存环境所必不可少的基石。

【点评】

文章以一组文采飞扬的排比句开篇，简洁有力地引出本文观点：跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通桥梁，到达成功彼岸。接下来第二、三段从个人和民族两个方面逐层深入地阐述了语言和沟通的关系，论证了跨越语言障碍，筑起沟通桥梁的重要作用。选材既能联系现实，又有人们所熟知的历史人物、历史事件，角度丰富，大大增强了文章的说服力。结尾收束全文，重申题旨，言简意赅。总的来说，文章内容充实，中心突出，结构严谨，条理清晰，表达流畅，是今年众多考场作文中能让阅卷老师眼前一亮的一篇佳作。

当然，这篇文章也不是毫无瑕疵，如第四段，作者的本意大概是想从反面论证观点，但是，把美伊战争的原因归结为语言沟通的问题未免有点牵强，转换一下叙述的角度会更切题，例可以这样说：要营造和平的环境离不开沟通，而沟通就需要跨越语言障碍。

in some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. what is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. we may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. the whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. we have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. the sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. no solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

the truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. they are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. if half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. in a welldirected effort, it would not be impossible to fulfil the ideals of a stable social programme. the benefits that can be derived from contructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. genuine and lasting solutions are always, possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. and to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information, ‘talk, talk talk,’ the advocates of violence say, ‘all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.’ it’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. after listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. ‘possibly, my lord’ the barrister replied, ‘none the wiser, but surely far better informed.’ knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
