模板讲解
How to do Z? Whether the traditional methods such as A, B and so on or the modern methods for example C and D have their advantages. Which you prefer depends on your own experience, I prefer C most in my point of view. As I see it, there are mainly advantages of C as follows:
This can trace back to my childhood. Once with curiosity, I (喜欢C的第一个原因)
Yet for another reason is that (喜欢C的第二个原因). I can quote a common example (举一个例子支持第二个原因).
Then why I do not like others? For example, why I do not favor A ? Because I have had a bad experience with it. (举例说明). So even when anyone mentions it, I will catch a feeling of fear.
There are still many other reasons that can account to my fondness for C, but the obvious ones have been presented as above. C is unquestionably my first choice in doing Z, though I might be opposed by others.
