Some people like doing work by hand. Others prefer using machines. Which do you prefer? Use specific

reasons and examples to support your answer.

『分析』

分情况。有些事情适合用手做，比如：

洗衣服：有些人就喜欢用手洗衣服(wash clothes)，而不用洗衣机(laundry machine)。

写字：不用电脑，而坚持用笔，基本上只有50岁以上的人才干得出来。

很多的事情只能手工去作(举例)；而另外也有很多事情只能用机器去做(举例)。还有一些事情要二者结

合才可以，比如统计工作。搜集数据(collect data)，往往更依赖人工(manual work)；数据处理(data

processing/manipulating)，由计算机完成。

『范文』

Some people like doing work by hand. Others prefer to use machines. I definitely fall into the latter category. I

use a machine for almost all of the work I do. The reasons why I prefer to use machines are that most hand work is

tedious, machines are faster and more efficient, and I am more proficient with most machines.

Two things that I spend a copious amount of time doing are writing and sewing. Both of these endeavors border

on pain if I do not have a computer or a sewing machine, respectively. What was once a fun task becomes very

monotonous, and no longer enjoyable. Using a machine can turn ordinary tasks into exciting ones.

Using machines to do work is also much faster and more efficient than using your hands to do it. For example,

if I wrote this essay by hand, rather than using the computer, it would probably take me at least five times as long.

Hand sewing a shirt would take ten times longer than using a machine to do the same work.

Not only are machines faster and more efficient, I am much more proficient using machines than I am doing

the same work by hand. I find that when I am sewing by hand, all of my seams are very uneven and crooked.

However, when I sew on a machine, my seams are perfect. The machine helps to keep my hand in line, therefore I

can turn out a much better product. It is the same for writing essays. My handwriting is messy at times. If I had

written a paper, I cannot correct it as easily as if I had written it on the computer. My writing blurs together, and

sometimes I cannot even read what I have written down. Machines are definitely a better way for me to work

efficiently, proficiently, and enjoyably.
