Some people prefer to read extensively.

范文：
People's views on reading vary from person to person (引言句). Some people think that it is good to read selectively while others believe that they can benefit more from reading extensively (陈述现象，说明人们有两种观点). Now, let's see why they've got such ideas (过渡句).
People who prefer to read selectively say that books concerning their majors or professions should be read in detail (观点一). In modern society, people who are busy making a living or studying would not get enough time to read extensively. If they want to know something, they can get it from different kinds of mass media, such as TV, radio and Internet (拓展句，解释原因). On the other hand, people who like reading extensively insist that by reading, they can obtain lots of information, and they emphasize that knowledge on different fields are not isolated but intersectant (观点二). Therefore, reading extensively can help people learn knowledge out of their profession. Furthermore, reading extensively brings lots of pleasure and entertainment (拓展句，讲起好处).
In my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively (摆出我的观点，应综合两者的观点). What 1 should do first is to keep balance. In my case, I would choose the books related to my major and those I think would be helpful to my study and research to read in detail, and also, I would read extensively in my spare time, from which I can obtain more information. In this way, I can enjoy reading better.
