　　托福写作范文一：

　　Agree

　　I love sitting down and reading a good book. Books are big part of my life, and reading is a great way to relax. Interestingly,I have found I often reread books and that, when I do, I enjoy the book much more than I did the first time I read it.

　　It is possible for the reader to develop a further understanding of a book on the second reading. In particular, the second reading of any good book lets the reader learn something new. For example,I first read The Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was in the first grade of middle school. It was just a nice fantasy novel series at that time. However, when U reread it two years later, I realized the author had created a complete new world with numerous interwoven stories which were really intriguing. The second reading of a book definitely allows the reader to enjoy it on a new level.

　　Character development is important in all books but is something people often miss on the first reading. The second reading can open one's eyes to a book's characters' true natures. For instance, Herman Melville's Moby Dick is an adventure novel about a whale hunt. Or at least that is what I thought when I read it the first time. Upon my second reading, I realized it is clearly about Captain had harmed him years ago. Insights gleaned from the second reading can help change the way a person views a book and its characters.

　　Finally, people often miss the important themes of a book the first time they read it but pick on them after rereading it. Larger themes usually come into sharper focus with a second reading. At first glance, William Golding's The Lord of the Files seems to be an adventure novel about a group of British schoolboys stranded on an island during a war. But the second reading shows you that it is a novel about good against evil and the depths to which humans can sink. Themes that remain hidden at first often reveal themselves with a second reading.

　　I truly believe that reading a book a second time is more interesting than the first because people can understand the book better, learn more about the characters, and pick up on the books' themes.

　　Without a second reading, a deeper understanding of most books is virtually impossible.

　　Some of my friends enjoy reading the same book several times.I，however, feel that reading a book a second time is not nearly as interesting as it was when I read it the first time.

　　You can only be surprised by the events in the story the first time you read a book. The plot twists and surprises are what I enjoy most about books, but this element of surprise is lost after the first reading.I love reading detective novels because they make me follow the plot carefully to find the villain. However, if I read the book a second time,I already know who the villain is, so the book loses most of its attraction. The first reading may shock the reader, but the second one will merely bore the reader.

　　Also,I have discovered that reading a book a second time often makes me like it much less than I did before. This often ruins the entire experience of reading the book. When I first read Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness,I loved it as and adventure story about a ournalist's search in Africa for a company man who had disappeared. Upon second reading, many distasteful things came clearly into focus. One of those was the harsh treatment the African workers suffered at the hands of the Europeans. The company man, Kurtz, seems heroic during the first reading, yet the second reading revealed him as obviously insane. The second time you read a book can detract from the things you first enjoyed about it.

　　Finally, there are some kinds of books that are simply not worthy of being read again. Reading these books a second time, rather than being interesting, is only a waste of time. Suppose you are reading a science fiction novel. There are lots of these books on the market. Many are fun to read, but they are all so similar to one another that there is no reason to reread any of them. After I finish one,I just grab another and read a different story on a similar topic. Definitely, not every book deserves reading again nor gets more interesting on a second reading.

　　In conclusion, the second reading is nowhere near as good as the first since there are no surprises, the reader's opinion of the work as a whole can change dramatically, and some books do not deserve a second reading. It is better to enjoy a book once and then savor that memory.
