GRE写作范文:
“The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of
contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than
written records.”There have been many methods of documenting in the history of
human, from carved ancient pottery to sheepskin documents, of which the video
camera may be the newest form with certain superiorities and inferiorities to
written records. The advantages of video camera certainly make it an important
form of documentation, but not to the extent of being more essential than
written records due to its disadvantages.
To begin with, video can be interpreted as a series of pictures associated
along the time, while written records can be considered as the descriptions of
these pictures.Therefore, it is undoubtedly that video contains much more
information than that of written records. From a video, we can clearly know what
happened with subtle details.Merely with a television set, we can easily watch
the happenings at home, such as the Olympic Games, comfortably sitting on the
sofa, needless to be present on the spot.
And more excitedly, certain close-up enables us to scrutinize our favorable
athletes. If there isn‘t video camera, we may be unable to enjoy such activities
unless we can afford time and expense to be on the spot. While it is true that
we can also be acquainted with the circumstances through newspaper or other
media, however, the written record may be unable to present them as accurate as
video. The imagination from the reports, however detailed, dooms to be
imaginary, by all means different from the real circumstance, which video can
represent. Moreover, the written records may contain some mistakes due to the
carelessness or injustice of its reporters, while the video may be more accurate
and convincing.
Another strongpoint of video is that it can be perceived simply by visual
signals, from which people mainly get information in their daily lives, and
therefore this method is more natural than written records. Everyone, ranging
from a babbling child to an old grandpa, is able to get some information from
the video just as they do during their daily lives, regardless of their literate
ability. While the written record, no matter how easily it is represented,
requires literacy of its readers, and a newspaper or book means nothing to an
illiterate person. In addition, video is much easier to comprehend for people
all over the world. For instance, an American can grasp nothing about a story
written in Chinese unless s/he has learnt such a foreign language. However, s/he
can absolutely understand something about a video recorded in China, although
s/he may be confused with the language spoken in the video.
While video is certainly not superior to written recorders in all aspects,
its limitations determine that the written record will not be replaced at least
at present. The first disadvantage of video is that it is much more inconvenient
and expensive. Video must be recorded on the spot, namely, when an event happens
to you, you cannot record it unless you have a camera at hand. However, even
though you haven’t paper and pencil either, you are still able to recall it to
record based on your remembrance.
Therefore, for those who can’t afford a handy camera or who are unwilling
to bring it anytime anywhere, the written records may be the easiest form
available. Further, another weakness of video is that its cost is too high and
its correspondingly high-quality record may be beyond people‘s requirement. The
cost of making a written report is much less than that of manipulating a video.
Also, every morning we may browse a newspaper to know what happened throughout
the world, and the simple report, which may only consume us a few seconds, meets
our needs of curiosity; we needn’t the accuracy and vividness of video, which
may be more time-consuming.
It is fortunate for us to own video as a supplementary kind of
documentation. With a video camera, we can record important events in our lives,
such as the weeding or birthday party. However, it is impossible to record
everything happening around us, yet we can record them in our diaries. In a
word, both the video camera and the written records are irreplaceable forms of
documentation, and their supplementation serves better than any one of the
documentation method alone.
