英语在全国很多大学都是必修课之一。尽管相当多学生认为他们只是为了大学英语考试而被迫选择英语课，但我学习是为了考试之外的目的。我应该承认英语是在大学里令我印象最深的一门课。

我认为英语的实用价值是一个强烈的动力。一方面，英语给我的生活极大地增加了方便和舒适。例如，由于几乎所有互联网上的信息和超过半数世界科技期刊都是英语的，良好掌握英语将方便我的工作。其次，英语良好也意味着更多机会。随着中国外资的不断增加，作为国际商务语言的英语将在个人职业生涯中发挥重要作用。

多年来，正是英语课实用性的前景激励我努力学习。

预测范文

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.

参考译文

有句话说“真正的危险不是电脑将开始像人一样思考，而是人类开始向电脑一样思考”。这句话的目的是告诉我们应该充分重视创新。

首先，创新的态度可以说是科学研究的信条。想想看，只有在进行了无数次的科学实验、实验室检测和活体试验之后，才能发明出新药物和新疫苗。其次，创新也是当今许多企业能够成功的原因。例如，某家公司曾经尝试了四种不同的商业模式，历经四年才取得成功。后来这家企业的老总也当上了最大一家互联网公司的董事长。

总之，在任何领域，一个人似乎只有在重视创新之后，才能获得最后的成功。
