1Some people hold the opinion that A is superior to B in many ways. Others, however, contradict A. Personally, I would prefer because I think A has more advantages.

There are numerous reasons why , and I would in here explain a few of the most important ones. The main reason is that . It can be given a concrete example .

Another reason why I advocate the attitude of A is that . Take the case of a thing that .

One very strong argument for A is that . This demonstrates the undeniable fact that .

Of course, choosing B also has advantages to some extent, .

But if all these factors are contemplated, the advantages of A carry more weight than those of B. From what has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that .A

AAAAB1-2

2As students we always face the circumstances: A or B. There are advantages and disadvantages on both sides. According to my personality and fondness, I would prefer A rather than B.

Although . There is no evidence to suggest that B is always better than A. What is more, if you see that , you can understand it more deeply.

Another reason for me to choose A is that . We can see that .

Furthermore, .

So, as I see it, . such experience will definitely be helpful in ones later life.BAAAA

3In my point of view, A is as important as, if not more important than, B. So why not choose A.

The reasons are quite clear. Above all, . Perhaps the most important example of A is that .

A further reason why I prefer A is that . There is good evidence to show that .

The third and very important reason is that .

Finally, .So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion .AAAA

4No doubt, I choose A, because there are too many benefits that outnumber its disadvantages not to choose it. But B, on the other hand, has advantages no more than its disadvantages.

The most important benefit of A is that . To achieve the same effect, B will .

Another benefit of A, which B almost cannot achieve, is that .

Although B also has its seemingly profound advantages, it can only achieved conditionally because .

After understanding the reasoning above, it is quite safe now to say: to choose A is a wise action.ABAB

5To choose A or B is something of a dilemma to the public because they sometimes are confused by the seemingly good qualities of A, and neglect the genuinely good aspects of B.

For A, people are often driven to believe that , and do not notice its intrinsic harming characteristic that .

Another disastrous fact is that the innate quality of B is unconsciously overlooked. For B, .

In fact, .

Furthermore, .Now, after close examination, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that only choosing B is sensible.

AABBB

6Upon to the question that which is better, A or B, people have different opinion about it. A has its advantages, but at the mean time, it has many disadvantages, too. In my point of view, I would prefer B. There are many instances supporting my view.

First, we could take as examples. . Clearly, .

In addition, . For example, . As it turned out, .

Nowadays, . It is a fact that .

Finally, the point I am trying to make is that .BBBB

7Some peoples believe A. These people point out the fact that . However, other people believe B. They point out that . They say that .As far as I am concerned, my preference is for A.

The main reason why I prefer A is that . We can see that .

A more personal reason why I like A is that . As I remember, .

A is superior in another way, that is because that .

As a matter of fact, there are also some disadvantages in A, such as . But these can be compensated by its advantages. So, in comparison with B, A is surely a clever choice.ABAAAA

8In a modern society, people have the freedom to choose A or B. Although they are normally coexist peacefully, they deserve some close examination. If three criteria were taken into account, in comparing these two, I would prefer A.

First of all, .

Another reason is that .

The third reason, however, goes this way: .

In conclusion, it must be explained that these three reasons sometimes intertwine to form an organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any one of them. Then any thinking person must agree that .AAAA

9I can present many examples that are very common in our lives. . I can say that if you have no experience like these, your life is an inadequate one. In my point of view, I like A much more than B.

The first reason can been seen by every person. . To illustrate this, there is an examples that is very persuasive: .

The second reason for my propensity for A is that . I now still remember that .

Furthermore, .

B is somewhat important as well. . Nonetheless, I still prefer A, for .

AAAAB

10Considering the social atmosphere today, it is not a time to CHOOSE A. It is high time to CHOOSE B. The fact that is what I wish to emphasize.

Those who object to this idea forget a universal truth .As I remember .

In addition, . An instance that accompanies this reason is that .On the other hand, .

Finally, .

So if we take a careful consideration, it is not difficult to get the conclusion: .B

BBBB

11It is often difficult for people to decide whether to CHOOSE A or CHOOSE B. But for us students, the advantages of A always outweigh the disadvantages.

Those who object A claim that .

Although at first glance these arguments sound reasonable and appealing, they are not borne out by a careful consideration. .

In addition, . As a result, .

Finally, the incomparable advantages of A is that.

From the above, I think A has a lot of advantages comparing with B. So .AAAAA

12Normally, A and B are the two basic ways in which people DO C. Some people like them both. Others enjoy A and still others prefer B. As far as I am concerned, I vote for the latter. There are no less than three advantages in B as rendered below:

First, we can observe easily that in modern society, .

There is another obvious advantage for B, that is .

The third, not the last is that .

Only these three reasons can make a person draw the conclusion that , not to mention there are more.BBB

13One of the difficult questions that many people are today facing across the world is whether to CHOOSE A or CHOOSE B. More and more, B is seem as the main method in DOING C. Yet there are some people who cast serious doubts on B, and who are prepared to argue with B. But I would have to say that, if I were faced with the decision, I would probably follow the contemporary trend and choose B.

On one hand, they offer new ways that can serves substitutes to the traditional, basic method of DOING C. It is claimed that . For example, .

On the other hand, . Now, .

Another reason that I prefer B is that . An good example of this is last month .
