However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.
Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.

参考作文
Some people prefer reading electronic books because it is cheap and convenient. An ordinary computer or e-book reader can hold hundreds or thousands of books. One may read them whenever and wherever he is, without a heavy load.
There are also some other people who still enjoy reading paper books. For them, turning the paper pages and reading the printed lines are the most comfortable way of reading. One of their reasons is that E-books make their eyes go tired easily.
If I were given the choice, I would very likely choose e-books, because the computer software is so advanced now that more work could be done while reading, such as taking long notes or copying beautiful sentences in seconds. These functions could not be fulfilled so efficiently with paper and pens.
