独立写作考题:
Do you agree or disagree with the statement:
People in the past were more friendly than people today.
题目解析
在独立写作考试中,出现的时间跨度一般为“现在”和“过去”的比较,特征词为today...in the past (当然这边的In the past可能换为30 or 50 years ago; 或者when your parents or grandparents were children); 当然,偶尔也会出现“现在”和“将来”的比较,但是跟现在与过去的出现的频率比较起来,现在与将来的比较题目出现的概率相对较小。
对于这类时间跨度题目,我们处理的方式其实很简单:采取“领域具体化”的方法来处理。换言之,就是比较一下现在和过去(或者现在和将来)两个不同时间段里,有什么样的领域发生了变化;其中可以涉及到的领域有:科技,经济,环境,教育,人们的意识,健康等等。
针对不同时间段,思考一下,哪些领域发生了变化、有什么不同,以及这种不同对于题目中所涉及到的话题带来什么样的影响。这样的思考,会让学生在很短的时间内,迅速的想到说服性很强的理由,以及相关展开思路。
我们用一个类似的问题进行分析
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Teaching is harder than it was in the past.
这个题目中,涉及到的两个不同时间段为:in the past, today;并且题目中的话题为:teaching的难易程度。针对这个题目我们可以想到的领域有很多,比如:
现在与过去科技发展的不同,
现在与过去人们对于教育的认知的不同,
现在与过去相关政府部门对于教育所给予的帮助的不同,现在与过去人们对于教育所能承受的经济的不同。
等等
通过这些不同,我们可以看出,现在和过去,什么时候的teaching会harder一些。
针对这个题目我的态度是“过去更加harder”;换言之,现在相对easier。给出的相关思路为:
1) 意识
The society is full of competition, we need to catch up with others and even to create advantages to surpass others (English certificate or computer certificate); better educational background equals to more chances to succeed in such a severely competitive society
2)科技
The technology, to a large extent, has contributed a lot to the process of our study. (the computer and the Internet); People used to study with the help of the limited books and
teachers; the development of the Internet renders people today much easier access to acquiring knowledge
3)政府
The government has attached much more importance to the issue of education; various policies concerning education have been carried out like the nine-year compulsory education; More opportunities for people to go abroad to further their education
如果各位将上面讲过的方法理解透彻,并且结合刚才讲过的题目一起理解,在今后的考试中遇到类似的题目,分析和处理起来绝对会变得很简单。
针对10月20日的考题理由展开思路如下
Agree: People in the past were more friendly.
1) 现如今,社会竞争很激烈(学习,工作等等),所以造成了现在高强度的生活节奏,因此,人们忙于自己的学习和工作,精神状态相对紧绷,所以对待身边人或事的关心程度不够,所以无法展现出友好的态度
参考表达:severe competition exists in our work or study, a high-intensity life rhythm, are busy with their own study and work, their mental state is relatively tight,not concerned enough about people or things around them, cannot show a friendly attitude.
2) 现如今,因为相关负面的社会新闻广泛传播,尤其是因为向别人伸出援手反而遭殃的相关新闻,人们得知该信息后,警惕性变强,所以很难态度友好,特别是与陌生相处的时候
参考表达:some relevant negative social news is widely spread, suffer a lot from offering some help to others, the vigilance becomes stronger, it is difficult for them to be friendly, especially when they interact with strangers.
今昔对比类题目还有很多,大家可以参考,比如:
A/D: It is much easier for people today to maintain healthy than those in the past.
A/D: Young people today are less dependent on their parents than young people in the past.
A/D: People now can better protect the environment than they could in the past.
