Your school has enough money to purchase either computers for students or books for the library. Which should your school choose to buy—computers or books? Use specific reasons and examples to support your recommendation.
Our school has been given a grant to make necessary improvements to its facilities. We can spend it on new books for the library or on more computers. Our school already has books in its library and it already has computers. Since we have more books than computers, I think that new computers will benefit the student more.
我们学校已经获得了一笔拨款，可以对其设施进行必要的改进。我们可以把它花在图书馆的新书或更多的电脑上。我们学校的图书馆里已经有书了，而且已经有电脑了。由于我们的书比电脑多，我认为新电脑将使学生受益更多。
Computers can access up-to–date information on the Internet. Right now, the reference books in our library are very outdated. Our encyclopedia set is eight years old. But if every student had access to a computer, we all could have the latest facts and figures on everything.
电脑可以在Internet上访问最新的信息。现在，我们图书馆的参考书已经过时了。我们的百科全书有八年历史了。但是，如果每个学生都能使用计算机，我们都可以掌握最新的事实和数据。
Unfortunately, giving every student a computer means we need a lot of computers. Right now, the ratio of computers to students is one to twelve. This means students only get to work on the computers three or four times a week. But if every student had a computer, we could use it whenever we wanted.
不幸的是，给每个学生一台计算机意味着我们需要很多计算机。现在，计算机与学生的比率是1比12。这意味着学生每周只能在电脑上工作三四次。但是，如果每个学生都有一台电脑，我们可以随时使用它。
“Information on demand” should be our slogan. Students today need lots of information right away. Life goes by too quickly to wait. It takes forever to identify a book that you think might have the information you need. Then you have to go to the library and look for the book. Usually it's not even there.
“按需提供信息”应该是我们的口号。现在的学生需要很多信息。生活过得太快，不能等待。识别一本你认为可能有你需要的信息的书要花很长时间。那你就得去图书馆找那本书。通常它甚至不在那里。
With a computer, information searches are instantaneous. If we all had computers, we could access more information and access it faster by computer. We could have all the information we needed for our schoolwork. We could all improve our grades. For these reasons, I feel that purchasing more computers will benefit us more than buying more books.
用计算机，信息搜索是即时的。如果我们都有电脑，我们就可以通过电脑访问更多的信息并更快地访问它。我们可以得到学校作业所需的所有信息。我们都可以提高成绩。基于这些原因，我觉得购买更多的电脑比购买更多的书更有利于我们
