第三次课
例：70. Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life. Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
a)汽车使市场上商品数量增多了。过去：limited range
The range of people has been continually extended make more goods available in the local markets.
b)从上面的分析可以得出：商品价格下降了。
Now people have lowered price of the goods in the markets. Competition arises and will bring lower price.
c)对妇女地位独立有很大贡献。
Cars may have a great contribution to current status of Chinese women.
写作中的立场选择：
1.最好不同意的：绝对立场(绝对立场很难捍卫)
题目：
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
37. Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
53. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important aspect of a job is the money a person earns. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
最容易的方法是直接反对，以37题为例：
It is true that progress is usually good.分析：书写文字的发展(从结绳记事到笔的发明，从软笔到硬笔);交通工具、沟通工具的发展(短信业务对聋哑人的意义)
However, it is hardly true that progress is always good.举例：汽车、武器、手机
In fact progress in itself is neither good nor bad. 真正有好有坏的是人。
例：54. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
以貌取人往往是错的
We often get wrong when we judge a person by his appearance.
然而透过外表可以得到很多有用的信息。
When you are talking to a man, 他的眼睛……
甚至有一些情况下，不得不根据外表判断。比如，导演选择演员。
2 最好同意的
题目：
27. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
这个statement里面的限定词是sometimes。应该同意这个观点。[63]可以作为[27]的理由之一，因为，Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future。这道题甚至可以作为[43]的答案。Most successful people have one thing in common: they are capable of doing things that they virtually do not enjoy doing.
63. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future. Use reasons and specific examples to support our answer.
参考分析：
表明立场，基本同意这个观点。因为这个观点没有使用绝对词。(Basically/Fundamentally, it is true that…)
举一些例子支持题目中的观点。
然而也确实有些痛苦经历对将来毫无帮助。比如对大多数不喜欢化学的人来讲，中学时期在元素周期表(periodic table [system] of elements)中苦苦挣扎的经验对以后的人生并没有什么帮助。
有些父母、教师用这个说法作为虐待孩子的借口，说是为了孩子的将来着想，就很没有道理了。
注意：使用绝对词时要小心，可用下面这些词
Usually, often, sometimes, hardly
3 只能反对的
题目：
8. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
一方面人们看电视的时间越来越多;另外一方面人与人之间的关系越来越冷漠。但是这两个现象并不是完全、直接的因果关系。造成人们关系冷漠的原因很多，比如，来自方方面面的压力：工作、生活。
88. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Telephones and email have made communication between people less personal. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
119. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes influence the way people behave? Use specific examples to support your answer.
确实，有些时候人们在穿着不同的情况下会有不同的行为。(举例)
然而，决定行为因素还有很多，服装仅仅是其中的一个因素。(罗列几个其他的因素)
120. Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful thought. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The decisions that people make quickly are always wrong. Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
确实，有些时候快速做出的决定可能是错的。(举例)
然而，决定是否正确还有很多其他影响因素，并且，快不等于not careful。极端的例子是战场上的指挥官，必须要快速做出正确决定。罗列几个影响“决定正确与否”的其他因素。
有用句型：
How come they have such an opinion?
A 不见得是B的理由：A is not necessarily the reason of B.
A不见得是B唯一的理由：A is not necessarily the only reason of B.
A不见得是B最重要的理由：A is not necessarily the most important reason of B.
It is true that A……
It is also true that B……
However, it is hardly true that……
4 不能同意也不能反对：
题目：20. It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay.
分析：It depends.
不同的阶段有不同的选择：
a)家庭内部环境：3～5岁
b)小学生在乡下更好
c)初中、高中就可能在大城市更好一点：图书馆、教学质量
注意：立场鲜明不等于立场绝对
32. Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
是花钱及时享乐好呢还是把钱存起来好，要看钱的数目是多少。如果一个月赚
2000块，只有一个选择，花掉。
20000块，就可以花掉一些，存起来一些。
200000块，就多花一些，也可以多存一些。
