[简答题]类别 教育类 题目 In some countries, the parents expect children to spend long time in studying both in and after school and have less free time. Do you think it has positive or negative effects on children and the society that they live in 题目翻译 在一些国家，家长希望小孩花很长时间在课内和课外学习，几乎不让他们有休闲时间。你认为这对小孩和社会有消极还是积极的影响？ 写作指导 1. 注意时态，不要出现过去时（除非举过去的例子） 2. 思路： A. 改写话题，引出文章题眼：学生在课内外将更多时间用于学习，而拥有更少自由支配时间，并表明个人观点：a negative development! B. 负面影响1: 主旨句：更多时间用于学习将有害于青少年身心健康。分类论证：身-剥夺青少年课后放松和从事体育锻炼的时间，举例篮球和棒球，从而使青少年身体状况退化，大幅提高青少年患流感，肥胖症，心脏病的几率，最终有损于他们的学习。心-不管青少年的学习意愿而大量增加学习时间，青少年产生负面甚至仇恨情绪，如果没有适当处理，可能会导致青少年犯罪率上升。 C. 负面影响2: 主旨句：强迫青少年更长时间学习与现代教育观念相违背。论证：现代教育注重专业理论和实践能力的结合，举例，学生在课后自行设计实验来验证在物理或化学课堂上学习到的知识。如果家长只要求学生延长学习时间，会剥夺青少年实践的机会，没有机会去设计实验，去艺术馆欣赏课堂上学习的画作或音乐，去阅读语言课上所设计的文学作品。这是不平衡的学习，与现代教育理念违背。 D. 先引出反向观点再反驳。反向观点：一些人认为增加学习时间可以提高学习表现从而获得更多教育资源。反驳：盲目增加时间，不顾青少年学习能力和学习意愿，会破坏学习热情，降低效率，使学生厌恶学习，最终影响其学习表现。 E. 总结全文。点明学习时间的设置应考虑青少年的学习意愿和学习能力，盲目增加学习时间有负面影响。 重点表达 Exert negative impact on, be detrimental to, play

[简答题]类别 媒体类 题目 Some people spend more time reading books, while others prefer to watch TV. People of the former group are more likely to develop creative imaginations and have a much better grasp of language skills. Do you agree or disagree 题目翻译 有些人花更多的时间读书，而另一些人则更喜欢看电视。花更多时间读书的人比看电视的人，想象力更丰富，语言技能掌握的更好。你同意与否？ 写作指导 1. 注意此题中的比较是有限定的，针对于对培养想象力和语言技能上的好处，绝对不可以宽泛地讨论其中一方的好处，而不顾这两个限制，否则被判做偏题失分。 2. 因为是比较类考题，所以更建议倾向一边的答案，即实际挑出一个更好的，如book, 之后进行对比分析。 3. 可以采用让步的模式开展这篇文章，因为双方都存在一定的优势，如此一来可以增加字数并且使文章更有说服力。 4. 理由：承认电视中的声音及视频为语言的学习和掌握提供了很好的模仿素材，但是更多的故事情节和演员等会令人分心，而不是专心于语言的学习和想象力的培养。 相反的，看书就必须要读者的想象力才能与作者有所交流，真正理解并且印象深刻；而且书本中的文字与表达也方便读者学习和模仿，从基础的语法学起，扎实地掌握一门语言等。 重点表达 While watching TV, people are more possibly to be distracted by the exciting scenes or beautiful actress, rather than concentrate fully on the language skills like pronunciations and grammars. 题目评价 难度一般 推荐练习 TV is an essential part of leisure activities in most families. However, some parents decide not to have a TV set in t
