Experts are not single-minded

Doctor: Well, then tell me your symptoms and I will judge your illness. Patient: But I don’t need your diagnosis. Just give me the pills I want.

Doctor: Hey, who do you think is the expert? As a medical expert, I am quite

familiar with almost all the diseases. You’d better follow my order!

Patient: You have to learn about thousands of diseases, but I only have to focus

on fixing what’s wrong with ME! Now which one of us do you think is the expert?

The patient regards herself as an “expert”, taking it for granted that expert only means specialized. Apparently, she is wrong about not only the definition of an expert but also herself. Unfortunately, she jumps into the narrow well and become a frog that is conceited and ignorant. But is the doctor an expert? What on earth is a real expert?

From my own perspective, it is extensive knowledge that an expert should basically have. After all, all the things in the universe are connected and so is knowledge. Just as an old saying goes, you’ll never know where your hometown is unless you go out of it. Being learned is the way to go out of hometown and only that will make a person be clear-headed in his subject and be superior to others as an expert.

Of course, professional knowledge is another necessary quality. For instance, my aunt got ill the other day. She thought she caught a cold so she

drank some hot water to get over it. But that didn’t take any effect and she felt even worse. So she went to the hospital. With the doctor’s treatment, she made a prompt recovery. Her wrong judgment prolongs her pain and that teaches me the significance of professional knowledge.

However, all the theories must be applied to practice. So an expert should also be acquainted with sufficient concrete cases. Experts who don’t have experience can’t help us to solve problems in our daily life so that they are not useful to our society. That’s why most experts aren’t at a very young age. Time is needed for them to accumulate a wealth of experience and be proficient in solving common problems.

Finally, the most indispensable quality of an expert is noble moral. An ordinary person is only concerned about every aspects of himself. But an

expert has to be concerned about a single aspect of other people. That requires the expert to have the equal heart to love and care others and give his shoulder to others’ climbing. So an expert doesn’t simply mean professionalism but also means sacrifice.

In brief, an expert must have extensive and professional knowledge, abundant experience and noble moral. I think Yuan Long ping has all the

qualities. He devotes his entire life to hybrid rice and solves the grain issues of over six billion people. He has an unselfish heart to make sacrifice. His

achievements tell us how to write the word “expert”! As for the doctor in the picture, we can’t judge whether he is an expert or not because there is no safe

evidence of whether he has all of the qualities. Virtually, it is not easy to be an expert. Some self-appointed “experts” should take off their conceited coats and be engrossed in studying and accumulating.

 

第二篇：关于科技创新的英语作文

Dear Mr. President,

I’d like to show my opinions on students’ scientific and technological abilities for innovation and give some suggestions. I don’t think our school is well engaged in improving students’ innovation abilities. In my eyes, students in our school do little innovative jobs other than study. In most of their part time, they listen to music, read books, or play computer games, which needn’t be much creative.

In order to improve abilities for innovation, firstly university leaders can show the importance of innovation by lectures, posters, etc. Then secondly, lessons and atmosphere in class can be improved by teachers, for example, to encourage creative thinking and innovative assignments. Finally, large numbers of creative activities such as scientific inventions also help a lot. By participating in those activities, students can not only be more creative, but also enrich their lives.

In a word, scientific and technological innovation is of great importance. With more excellent and creative students in science and technology, our school will be more powerful, so will our country.
