2015年6月的大學英語六級考試考的一篇作文是就知識與實踐的關係展開討論。根據題目中的諺語，知識與實踐是相輔相成的關係，互不可分。所以大家把這種關係說清楚，並運用例子說明即可，參考範文如下：
There is a famous saying goes like that “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” This saying shows the relationship between knowledge and practice vividly.
As far as we know, if we don’t have corresponding knowledge of some fields, we cannot do well in the fields. There are innumerable examples to illustrate this point. For instance, a singer can sing well only if he or she possesses musical knowledge; a dancer can dance well only if he or she knows how to dance; a worker can get the job well-done only if he or she is familiar with the basic principles of the job, and so on. But in turn, if we do not apply what we have known to practice, knowledge cannot play its role. For example, if we have learned different methods of cooking vegetables, but we do not cook, then the different methods of cooking vegetables do not produce value for us.
Therefore, if we do not have knowledge, we have nothing to practice, but if we have knowledge without putting it into practice, knowledge is of no avail. So we should acquire as much knowledge and put it into practice.

翻譯：中國傳統的待客之道要求飯菜豐富多樣，客人吃不完，中國宴席上典型的選單包括開席的一套冷盤及其後的熱菜，例如肉類、雞鴨、蔬菜等。大多數宴席上，全魚被認為是必不可少的，除非已經上過各式海鮮。如今，中國人喜歡把西方特色菜與傳統中式菜融於一席。因此牛排上桌也不少見，沙拉也已經流行起來，儘管傳統上中國人一般不吃任何未經烹飪的菜餚。宴席通常至少有一道湯，可以最先完成最後上桌。甜點和水果通常標誌宴席的結束。
參考譯文：In China, variety of foods and dishes is needed in traditional ways of entertaining guests and makes them impossible to finish the dinner. Typical menus of Chinese banquetinclude cold dishes to start and the following hot ones. For example，meat, chicken, duck and vegetables.
In most banquets, a whole fish dish is considered indispensable, unless various kinds of seafood have been served. Nowadays, Chinese people tend to mix Western specials with traditional Chinese cuisine. Thus, steak is not rare. Traditionally，although the Chinese do not eat any of theuncooked dishes，salads have also become popular. The banquet usually has at leasta bowl of soup that can be offered as the first or the final dish. Desserts and fruits usually mean the end of the feast.
