Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Playing sports can teach people lessons about the life.

这道考题整体来说，难度不大。对于各位考生而言，题目意思理解简单，文章思路比较好找、展开内容相对容易——因为“playing sports”对各位考生来说，都是再熟悉不过的事情了；从“playing sports”的过程中，除了让自己更加健康、强壮之外，也应该学到了很多lessons about our life.

破题方案

对于本题，要特别说明的是我们之前在讲座中多次提到的处理方法——复数拆分法，即针对题目中某核心复数词进行拆分，然后从不同角度展开各个理由段。针对该方法，我们可以通过一个简单的题目进行回顾：

Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good?

对于这一题目，有些同学说，复数名词是pets，所以会对这个词进行拆分；但是，细想之后可以发现，宠物这个词不管怎样拆分、怎么具体，都没有多大意义。其实，本题中还有一个复数名词值得我们注意，那就是people，虽然没有“s”，但是people本身就是一个复数名词，所以我们可以对其拆分为：小孩，青年夫妇，老年人。

首先，小孩通过养宠物可以培养自己的责任感（sense of responsibility）；然后，对于青年夫妇，现在相对生活压力比较大、经济负担较重，所以很难抚养一个小孩，但是可以先通过养宠物来代替小孩，从而可以促进家庭和谐；最后，我相信大家对老年人养宠物的好处应该是再熟悉不过了，就是消除孤独感（eliminate loneliness）。

通过上面的题目，我相信各位应该已经了解“拆分法”在托福独立写作审题以及文章内容展开中应该如何运用了。注意，该方法其实对于很多的托福独立写作考题都是适用的，比如2018年1月6日的考试就可以说明这一点，分析如下：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? 

Nowadays it is not very important for families to regularly eat their meals together.

我们可以针对families进行拆分具体分析，比如长辈之间的聚餐，比如家长和孩子们之间的聚餐等等，理由如下：

On the one hand, for parents, having regular meals with children can promote parental relationship. Due to people’s busy daily schedules, parents and children tend to have less conversation nowadays. Children spend most of their time learning in school and playing with peers; adults are occupied with their work and socializing with colleagues. The importance of having family meals is ignored. People forget that time spend at the table can be meaningful.

On the other, for young people, it is of great significance to have regular meals with our aging parents. Young people today are busy with their own work and personal life and they often neglect the feelings of the elders. Some may give money regularly to the elder instead of going home to accompany them because they think financial means is a good way to show their love and care. However, as for the elder, it is the most ideal way for the elder to feel happiness to be accompanied by their family members, especially their sons and daughters.  

回到2018年4月15日的考题---Playing sports can teach people lessons about the life. 大家只要掌握了“拆分法”，对于这个题目的审题分析和内容展开，应该很容易处理，即为拆分“lessons”。 理由如下：

On the one hand, playing sports can teach us how to deal with failure and frustration.

On the other, the importance of teamwork can also be learnt from playing sports.

节选自：Playing Sports Teaches People Lessons About the Life---http://www.studymode.com

Nowadays, a large group of people are crazy about doing sports with other zealous fellows. They always keep themselves occupied with all kinds of sports instead of lying in sofa, watching soap operas. I am a loyal advocator to this passionate life style. While possessing a good health, beneficial classes of life are extra gains of doing sports.

Doing sports constantly can steel people’s willpower and teach them the lesson of persevering in everyday life no matter how tough the situations are. For instance, Lionel Messi, my favorite football player, no one could believe that he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency and we almost miss a superstar! However, his persistence and intense love for football kept him going on without hesitation and nothing could stop him from becoming an excellent player. Ultimately, the sporting director of Barcelona had been made aware of his talent and led him to a superiorly shining life. Now he has received FIFA World Player of the Year nomination in 2009 at the age of 21. This incident gives me a full understanding of the fact that how unbelievable results sports may bring to people.

In addition, sports guide people to respect rivals regardless of the results. Also, no matter how strong you are and maybe your opponent has no chance to win at all, respecting opponents still remains its essential place. In 2010 Africa FIFA World Cup, when North Korea which at the bottom of the ranking list encountered Brazil, which ranks No.1 in the world. Brazil showed the characteristic of a world-class team. They tried hard as their competitors were equally strong as them and spoke highly of North Korea’s presentation after the game. In sum, sports really enable people to own the quality of respecting opponents, which makes it unique compared to other things.
