1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Visiting museums is the best way to learn about a country.
解析：題目中包含明顯的絕對(duì)詞，即“best”。這樣的題目推薦大家使用【讓步-轉(zhuǎn)折-遞進(jìn)】式寫(xiě)法，先讓步承認(rèn)“參觀博物館”確實(shí)是“好”的了解國(guó)家的方式，再轉(zhuǎn)折提出“另外一種方式”也是不錯(cuò)的。進(jìn)而反駁“參觀博物館”是“好”的方式。
思路歸納：
讓步段：誠(chéng)然，參觀博物館確實(shí)是一個(gè)了解國(guó)家的有效方式，尤其是了解這個(gè)國(guó)家的歷史。(Admittedly, visiting museum is indeed an effective way for people to know about a country, especially the history of the nation.)
轉(zhuǎn)折段：但不管怎樣，在一個(gè)國(guó)家旅游也是一個(gè)了解它的可得方式，因?yàn)槿藗兛梢杂H身經(jīng)歷這個(gè)國(guó)家的當(dāng)?shù)匚幕?Nevertheless, traveling in a country is also an available way for people to obtain some information about a country, since people can experience the local culture in that nation in person.)
遞進(jìn)：因此，我很難同意參觀博物館是了解一個(gè)國(guó)家好的方式。世界上，上文所提及的方法只是眾多可以了解一個(gè)國(guó)家的多種方式中的其中兩種而已。具體而言，交當(dāng)?shù)氐呐笥?、讀相關(guān)的報(bào)紙以及看在那個(gè)國(guó)家拍攝的電影都是有效地方式，可以讓人們從不同方面獲得有關(guān)于這個(gè)國(guó)家的信息。(Judging from the evidence offered above, I can hardly agree that visiting museum is the best way of learning about a country. Virtually, the aforementioned methods are merely two of the various ways for people to know about a nation. To be specific, making new friends in that country, reading newspapers related to the country and watching movies shot in that nation are also effective methods that people can choose to acquire information about the country in different facets.)
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Getting advice from friends who are older than you is more valuable than getting advice from friends of your own age.
解析：題目中包含明顯兩個(gè)方面，即“年長(zhǎng)的朋友”和“同齡人”。這樣的題目推薦大家使用【讓步-轉(zhuǎn)折-遞進(jìn)】式寫(xiě)法，這樣每個(gè)方面只需要提出1-2個(gè)理由就可以有效闡述題目。
思路歸納：
讓步段：誠(chéng)然，從年長(zhǎng)的朋友那里獲取幫助確實(shí)是明智的，因?yàn)樗麄儯诖蟛糠智闆r下，在某些領(lǐng)域更有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。(Admittedly, it is sensible for us to get advice from older friends, since they, on most occasions, are more experienced than us in some certain realms.)
轉(zhuǎn)折段：但不管怎樣，向同齡人尋求幫助也是可取的，因?yàn)樗麄?，在很大程度上?lái)說(shuō)，能夠在我們遇到的問(wèn)題上面感同身受。(Nevertheless, it is also advisable for us to ask our peers for help, since they can, to a large degree, share the same feelings with us towards the problems that we encounter.)
遞進(jìn)：因此，我很難同意從年長(zhǎng)的朋友那里獲取幫助比同同齡人那里獲取幫助更有價(jià)值。在我看來(lái)，這取決于我們所遇到的問(wèn)題的類(lèi)型。(Judging from the evidence offered above, I can hardly agree that gaining advice from older friends is more valuable than from the friends of our own age. From my perspective, whether it is wiser for us to follow the advice from the friends who are older than us or from the ones of our own age depends on the type of problem that we meet.)
3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should give school-age children money as a reward for getting a high mark (grade) in school.
解析：此題的中沒(méi)有絕對(duì)詞，筆者建議大家用直戳了當(dāng)?shù)摹究偡挚偂渴綄?xiě)法，之后鋪展2-3個(gè)支持或反駁的理由即可。以下所給出的是支持方的觀點(diǎn)。
思路歸納：
理由一：首先，當(dāng)孩子們有好成績(jī)時(shí)給他們錢(qián)作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)可以激發(fā)孩子們的學(xué)習(xí)熱情。(Giving school-age children money as a reward when they achieve outstanding academic performance can stimulate their enthusiasm of learning.)
理由二：此外，當(dāng)孩子們因?yàn)榭荚嚦煽?jī)好而得到金錢(qián)的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)時(shí)他們能夠培養(yǎng)出對(duì)于金錢(qián)的管理能力。(Moreover, children can develop money-management skills when they get some money as a form of reward after getting high grade.)
總結(jié)：在后的討論當(dāng)中，盡管有些人斷言學(xué)生們可能會(huì)在考試的時(shí)候作弊，如果他們因?yàn)楹贸煽?jī)而拿錢(qián)的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)的話，但他們的觀點(diǎn)在和我們以上所提到的理由和證據(jù)相比的時(shí)候會(huì)黯然失色。所以我主張的依舊是可以在孩子們獲得高分的時(shí)候給與適量的金錢(qián)鼓勵(lì)。(In the final analysis, although some people assert that students might cheat in the exam if their parents give them some money as a reward when they get high mark, their notion seems to become lackluster when compared with the reasons and evidence offered above. Consequently, I still advocate that it is beneficial for parents reward their children with a suitable amount of money if they can perform well at school in order to stimulate their interest in studying and cultivate their money-management skills.)
4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents do not understand their children as well as parents did 50 years ago.
解析：此題的思路有兩種。第一，采用【讓步-轉(zhuǎn)折-遞進(jìn)】式寫(xiě)法，讓步段闡明“過(guò)去的家長(zhǎng)比較容易理解孩子”，轉(zhuǎn)折段闡明“但是現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)也能夠很好地理解孩子”，后遞進(jìn)闡明“其實(shí)現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)更理解孩子了”。但是大家會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果按照這樣的方式行文，文章中已經(jīng)有兩個(gè)段是在闡述“現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)理解孩子”了。與其這樣，我們還不如直接用第二種行文方式，即直戳了當(dāng)?shù)摹究偡挚偂渴綄?xiě)法來(lái)行文，更加清晰明了。筆者認(rèn)為題目寫(xiě)反駁更容易，所以大家直接對(duì)于題目持否定態(tài)度，之后鋪展2-3個(gè)反駁理由即可。下文的思路歸納采用的是第二種寫(xiě)法。
思路歸納：
理由一：首先，當(dāng)代的家長(zhǎng)比過(guò)去的家長(zhǎng)更了解孩子了，由于多種多樣的網(wǎng)上溝通工具。(Primarily, parents in this day and age can genuinely know their children better owning to the various online communication tools.)
理由二：此外，當(dāng)代家長(zhǎng)更能了解孩子們了，因?yàn)樗麄儸F(xiàn)在可以接觸到多種多樣的關(guān)于如何教育好孩子的書(shū)籍。(Moreover, parents nowadays can virtually understand their children better, since they can get access to different kinds of books about how to educate children well.)
總結(jié)：在后的討論當(dāng)中，有些人斷言家長(zhǎng)們其實(shí)不如過(guò)去了解孩子們了，由于現(xiàn)在先進(jìn)的科技進(jìn)一步加深了家長(zhǎng)和孩子之間的代溝。但是這樣的觀點(diǎn)和我們以上所提出的理由相比會(huì)變得黯淡無(wú)光。于是我還是依舊堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)比過(guò)去更了解他們的孩子了。(In the final analysis, some people assert that parents in these days no not understand their children well than they did in the past, since the rapid development in science and technology deepen the generation gap between parents and their children. However, this notion seems to become lackluster when compared with the reasons and evidence offered above. Consequently, I reiterate my standpoint that parents in this day and age actually understand their children better than they did in the past decades.)
5. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The environmental issue is too complex to be handled by the individual.
解析：題目中包含明顯的絕對(duì)詞，即“too”。這樣的題目推薦大家使用【讓步-轉(zhuǎn)折-遞進(jìn)】式寫(xiě)法，先讓步承認(rèn)“有些環(huán)境問(wèn)題確實(shí)很復(fù)雜，需要政府或其他機(jī)構(gòu)來(lái)解決”，再轉(zhuǎn)折提出“但是個(gè)人對(duì)于解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題所作出的努力也是不容忽視的”。進(jìn)而反駁題目中出現(xiàn)的“too complex”這樣的說(shuō)法。
思路歸納：
讓步段：誠(chéng)然，通過(guò)頒布法律法規(guī)的方式，各國(guó)政府確實(shí)成為了解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題的中堅(jiān)力量。(Admittedly, though promulgating laws and regulations, each government in different nations has become an instrumental force in solving numerous environmental problems.)
轉(zhuǎn)折段：但不管怎樣，不可否認(rèn)的是個(gè)人也確實(shí)在環(huán)境保護(hù)上發(fā)揮了推動(dòng)性的作用，尤其是在節(jié)約使用非可再生資源以及緩解空氣污染這兩方面。(Nevertheless, it is incontestable that individuals indeed play a pushing role in environmental protection, especially in preserving nonrenewable resource and alleviating air pollution)
遞進(jìn)：因此，我很難同意環(huán)境問(wèn)題過(guò)于復(fù)雜以至于個(gè)人無(wú)法解決。在我看來(lái)，個(gè)人和政府在解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題上面應(yīng)該結(jié)合在一起。只有這樣環(huán)境問(wèn)題才能被高效并徹底地解決。(In the final analysis, judging from the evidence offered above, I can hardly agree that environmental issue is too complex to be handled by the individual. From my perspective, both individuals and each government in the world can make great efforts in solving this issue. Admittedly, the governments’ actions do play a crucial role in this issue, such as enacting some related laws and acts. However, the efforts made by individuals can definitely not be separated from governments’. In fact, only when every residents in every country together with every government endeavor to address the environmental issue, can it be handled more thoroughly with higher efficiency.)
