Sample answer:
The writer and the speaker have a debate on feeding bird during the winter. The writer believes it has negative influences on birds, which is opposed by the following lecture.
First, the writer claims that birds gather easily, thus spreading diseases. While the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle, according to him/her, the diseases that spread in Hinch are always group-by-group. It has nothing to do with humans.
Secondly, the passage states that bad weather results in shortage of food supply. However, the speaker casts doubt on this opinion by saying that if humans feed birds, extra nutrition will make them stronger and healthier, enhancing the speed of reproduction. The number of new-born birds will be larger than the number of dead birds.
Last, the writer argues that it will influence birds’ migration pattern. By contrast, in accordance with the speaker, this claim does not hold water. It will not disturb the pattern of natural migration, because birds will depend on shortened sunlight to decide the migration time.

写作思路:
这道题是比较典型的事实类题目。可以采取拆分的方法比较好解题。 可以拆不同的sports或者lessons都可以。我们可以说篮球教会我们团队合作精神,长跑教会我们坚持不懈的毅力以及蹦极教会我们勇气。当然还有很多其他方面,比如运动教会我们乐观的心态,教会我们竞争意识,领导能力等等。想到思路之后还要注意细节的展开,充分论证。
写作指导:
Agree:
单边:(任选三点即可)
做运动可以叫我们如何与他人合作。(cooperate with/ unity/teamwork spirit)很多运动需要我们组队完成,比如篮球比赛,需要六个人协调配合,如果一个人只关注自己,和不懂得如何和他人进行搭配,那么肯定会输。
教会了我们做事情要坚持(never give up)。比如马拉松Marathon,需要长时间和强嫩的毅力(persistence、perseverance)很多体育活动都是比较累,比较辛苦的,如果要想在体育上有所建树的话,必须付出很多艰辛的努力。我们生活也是一样的,很多时候,生活并不是这么如意和一帆风顺,需要我们有一颗坚强的心。
运动教会我们学则合适的东西。选择自己合适的运动就好比选择好的动作一样,短跑需要运动员有较强的爆发力(explosive power)。有些疾病的人需要选一些稍微温和项目(light sports / walking swimming)。
竞争意识。体育活动,如果你要取胜的话那么就必须要有竞争意识。生活中很多方面,如果想胜人一筹,也得有竞争意识。
运动可以提高一个能的领导能力,一个人曾经领导一个团队进行比赛。他可能需要引导队员,可能会鼓励队员们去的胜利
运动还可以教会人们在激烈的比赛中如何保持乐观(optimistic)的心态。不管成功和失败,大家都能很好的对待。每场比赛都是特别紧张
