收起Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
People generally prefer originality to imitation, which is often considered inferior and second-rate. However, we have learned most of what we know by imitating others. Mastering any skill or gaining any knowledge means that we must learn from those who have gone before us. In fact, it is not until we have imitated others and learned from them what is there to know that we can strike out on our own and maybe create something new.
Is it necessary for others to imitate others before they can become original and creative?
Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience or observations.

收起1. 题目翻译:
人们总是喜欢原创胜过模仿。人们总认为模仿是二流的。然而,我们所知的大部分都是通过模仿他人得来的。熟练掌握某种技能或是获取某些知识意味着我们必须从前人获取经验。实际上,我们只有模仿他们并从中获取知识,才能拥有自己的想法,或是创造新的东西。
题目:人们在能够原创之前模仿他人是必要的吗?
2. 审题关键词:imitate, original
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:

反:But imitation is insufficient. Merely imitating others does not result in originality.
补:Nothing in this world is completely original. They are all somehow product of imitation.
