<p>Topic:Are bad choices equally likely to have negative consequences?</p>
<p>My essay:
For a variety of reasons, people often make choices that have negative results. Later they regret these choices, finding out too late that bad choices can be costly. What looks like a wonderful idea at one time later seem like the worst decision that could have been made. Good choices, too, can be costly.
A wonderful ideal at one time can latter seem like the worst decision that could have been made. My English teacher, Lin Hui, realized the shortcomings of Chinese English education which is more like a education of English grammer than that of real English. So after his entering of middle school, he tried his best to escape such Chinese style English's brainwashing and convinced his teacher that he would achieve an excellent English score through his own way of learning. He listened to English radios and read English magazines and newspapers. Later he became the best students of English in his school and own a good accent like that of an ABC(American Born Chinese).
All the above sounds rather good, right? But he told me that a lack of grammar really made him suffered much: when encounter with the grammar section of the TOEFL(old version), he was totally at sea. That defeat forced him to pick up his grammar book and learned it from the beginning. Such a process really cost him a lot of time.
So a wonder ideal at one time can latter seem like the worst decision that could have been made, and sometimes, as every coin is two-sided, good choice can also be costly. Chistopher Columbus's discovery of Americas, which led directly to opening of the west hemisphere to the European colonization and large-scale of exchanges between the two world, can proved his good decision of sailing west. However, on a darker note, his discover also resulted in millions of death of Native Americans, which sounds like a bad and costly choice.
As all illustrated above, bad choice and good choice equally likely to have
negative consequences.</p>
