今 日 考 题Task 1: Pie charts(静态饼图)
Task 2: Some people think that older school children should learn a wide range of subjects and develop knowledge. But other people think that they should only learn a small number of subjects in detail. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (重复2013年4月27日考题)
点评: 今天的考题和我们写作团最近两个月练的下面这个题是非常相似的,属于同一题目的变形,注意事项课堂上都讲过。其实这个题目改成discuss both views还要更简单,不容易出错。
Some people think that it is better for high school students to study a wide range of subjects than to focus on a narrow range of subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
以下为考官范文(只是可能的答案中的一种)
虽然下面这篇是考官范文,但攀哥还是想指出两点:
1. 范文属于比较典型的列举观点,而缺少对观点的论证展开。我个人是不太建议这样写的。还是少一两个观点,多论证展开更利于考试中获得高分。
2.文章最后的的结论没有明显的站一边,而是典型的取决于某些因素(depend on their career requirements and aspirations for the future)。这种写法我在冲刺班专门讲了。虽然这也是一种clear position, 但是我也不太建议,很多时候容易出现逻辑问题,甚至容易偏题。
The debate of whether quantity or quality in education is best suited for pupils has created a split between educators and this issue has continually intrigued curriculum makers. There are valid merits of both methods, nonetheless their practical benefits ought to be assessed based on individual pupil preferences and learning styles.
The primary reason is that the experience of broad study provides students with more opportunities to explore their real interests and talents. This is particularly important for older school students as most of them in this stage are not fully aware of aptitude. Besides, having access to a large variety of course materials will enable students to become well-rounded, allowing them to understand various aspects of life and society. Through being educated in a range of topics, it also provides students with the opportunity to access new ideas and concepts, giving them greater selection regarding career prospects. (讨论观点一)
Nevertheless, students specializing in a particular field brings about the benefit of being able to develop expertise and complete proficiency, which is valuable for certain professions. Moreover, when pupils have an excellent grasp of one or a few subjects, they will be able to make innovative contributions to that field in the future. These innovations are what drive societal and technological advancement, generally resulting from acquiring heaps of knowledge in specific domains and being able to thoroughly comprehend and apply it. (讨论观点二)
In my view, not all students are created equal whereby pupils are individually unique, having various learning capacities and methods that differ from their peers. As a result, educating students from a broad-based approach or focusing on a few areas of study would heavily depend on their career requirements and aspirations for the future. (给出自己的观点)
