NO.1. A high school has decided that all students must take a class in which they learn a practical skill. School administrators are trying to decide whether to hold a class in cooking, managing personal finances or auto repair. Which do you think the school should require students to take? Why?
【波波老师点睛】:这道题目是一个三选一的题目,这类题目最简单的思考方式,就是从A,B,C三个选项中,选出其中一项,然后说出这一项的好处,然后说出另外两种的缺陷,就可以了。此题,笔者建议选择managing personal finances,具体思路如下
【全文思路结构】:
理由一:获得理财能力,可以帮助学生形成理性的消费观,避免攀比心理,从而合理分配自己的零用钱。众所周知,形成合理消费的习惯对于学生现在和未来的生活都起到非常重要的作用。(To begin with, Acquiring the ability of managing money can help students form a rational view of spending and avoid competing mind between each other, thus making them allocating money properly. As we know, the formation of distributing one’s financial resources has a great influence on students’ current and future life. )
理由二:学习做饭会存在安全隐患,因为学生缺乏安全意识,很容易引起火灾。而且,会浪费时间,因为学生完全可以去餐厅吃饭,而不需要自己做饭。(Secondly, there are a few advantages of learning cooking. For one thing, potential safety hazards may accompany the process of cooking, because students usually lack the awareness of safety, which may result in the outbreak of fire. For another, cooking by students themselves may waste much precious time which can be saved by eating in canteen.)
理由三:学习修车对学生来说实用性不强,因为学生出行的方式主要是自行车或做公交车。(Thirdly, learning auto repair is not useful for students because most of them usually go to school by riding bike or taking public transportation.)
结尾段:综上所述,我认为学校应该开始的课程是理财课。(Judging from what has been discussed above, it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that schools should require their students to take the course of managing finance. )
NO.2.People should be open to new ideas and change his or her mind to be successful.
【波波老师点睛】:
此题目的意思是为了能够取得成功,人们应该通过接受新的想法来改变自己的看法。此题目想理由大家可能只会想到,不断更新自己的想法才能紧跟时代潮流,从而取得成功。所以此题目,波波老师推荐大家使用拆分举例的方式:将题目中的“people”拆分成:老师和产品设计师。(From my perspective, accepting new ideas and updating their mind constantly are important to become successful for everyone, especially for teachers and product designers.)具体思路如下:
【全文思路结构】:
论点一:First of all, being open to new ideas and modifying their mind are of great importance for teachers to achieve success. (现在知识体系随着社会的进步在不断更新,另外老师在教学中面对的学生也在不断变化,所以老师要顺利开展教学活动,必然需要不断的接受新的观点,改进自己的教学理念。)
论点二:In addition, the above same logic also applies to product designers. (众所周知,要想让产品大卖,生产者需要迎合消费者的需求。作为产品设计者,只有通过听取新的意见,才能不断改进自己的产品,从而获得市场份额最终盈利。)
NO.3 A leader should have strong opinions and not change his or her mind about those opinions.
【波波老师点睛】:
题目大意:领导要有主见,不轻易改变。此题笔者建议选择同意,
【全文框架思路】
具体如下:
1. 段首句:首先,有助于树立自己的权威,让成员更相信自己(First of all, it is of great necessity for a leader to hold strong opinions and not change them easily in order to build up his/her authority and win the trust of the team members.)
展开句:Confucius once commented that the recognition of someone is the precondition of listening to his instruction.
2. 段首句:有助于让团队有明确的共同目标,从而提高团队的效率。(Having strong viewpoint and not easily changing them can make the team share a definite and common goal and thus improve the work efficiency.)
3. 结尾段:不得不承认,领导参考团队成员的建议修正自己的观点,可以提升团队成员的参与热情。但是,这个优点与我方优点相比可以被忽略。(Admittedly, leaders revise their opinions by referring to the suggestions from team members, which can improve the enthusiasm of their participation.However, compared with the huge benefits of our position, this tivial advantage can be neglected.)
NO.4 Some people believe that they can solve important problems by themselves or with the help of family so there is no need for them to seek help from government.
【波波老师点睛】:
此题目意思是个人可以通过个人努力和家人帮助来解决重大问题,所以不需要政府的帮助。此题不管是同意还是反对,想两个理由都较为困难,所以我们可以选择进行对important problems 进行拆分,波波老师建议大家选择不同意,即认为个人需要政府的帮助来解决很多重大问题,比如环境问题和教育问题。
【全文思路如下】:
1.First of all, environmental problems must be solved with the help of the government in many cases. (现在环境问题愈来愈严重,雾霾(haze)以及各种污染问题层出不穷,然而个人的力量总是弱小的,只有通过政府的努力才能解决这些问题。比如雾霾主要是由汽车尾气和工业废气造成的,个人只能改变自己的出行方式,但是这对解决环境问题的作用是微乎其微的,只有政府制定法律法规或关闭工厂这些方式才能从根本上解决空气问题)
2.In addition, the contribution of the government in solving the problems about educational system cannot be overlooked.(众所周知,很多国家存在教育资源不足或分布不均匀的情况,个人无法通过个人的努力来改变国家整体的教育质量,只有通过政府制定相关政策才能使这一问题得到解决。比如,我国偏远地区的孩子无法上学的问题)
NO. 5. should children spend most time playing and studying? Or should they be required to help the family with household chores, like cooking and cleaning?
【波波老师点睛】:
此题目意思是“孩子应该去玩耍和学习还是应该做家务”。此题目思路较多,波波老师建议大家选择做家务,理由如下:
【全文思路】:
理由一: Helping the family with household chores can help childern gain essential life skills and thus foster their ability of fending for themselves.(孩子早晚都要走上社会独立生活,现在做一些家务,比如做饭和洗衣,孩子可以更好地照顾自己。相反,如果只注重学习和玩耍孩子很可能成为高分低能的孩子,加来无法独立生活。)
理由二:Children’s sense of responsibility can be raised during the process of doing houseworks.(家务是家庭共同的义务,在做家务中孩子可以体会到父母的辛劳,从而对家庭负责,同时也可以减轻父母的负担。)
NO.6
If a constructor wants to use the land in your community to build one of the following places, which one will you prefer?
1.Performance arts center
2.hotel
3.shopping mall
【波波老师点睛】:
此题目是三选一,笔者建议选择 shopping mall, 总体的结构:写出shopping mall 的两个好处,然后一段概括performance arts center 和hotel 的缺陷,最后总结即可。
【具体思路如下】:
中间段1:商场的好处之一是方便购物和娱乐。(First and formost, one major benefits of building a shopping mall in our community is that people can purchase anything they need conveniently and relax themselves by using various entertainment facilities.)
中间段2:商场的好处之二是可以提供更多的就业岗位以及创业的机会。(In addition, another main advantage of contructing a shopping center is to provide more job vacancies and more opportunities to start one’s own business. )
结尾段:hotel/ performances art center 两者存在的共同问题就是投入的金钱和获得的收益不成比例。Hotel建设在小区内,很少会有人去住。同样的,arts center的吸引力也不强,因为很少有人对此感兴趣。(the common weakness of building hotel and performance art center is that the investments are not in a positive proportion to the revenues gained from them. Few people will choose to order a room in a hotel built in a community. Similarly, performance arts center is not attractive because the public have no interest in appreciating what is on exhibit. )
NO.7.Some people feel more satisfied living in cities than in villages, some people think the other side, What do you think about it?
【波波老师点睛】:
题目分析后会发现是一道A>B的题目,选择让步转折递进的结构,首先承认:在城市生活是令人满意的,因为设施健全。然后转折:在农村生活也是令人满意的,因为消费水平低。最后:到底生活在城市还是在农村更满足取决于经济状况。
【具体思路】:
让步:在城市生活是令人满意的,因为设施健全和更多的福利措施。
(Living in cities is satisfying , due to the elaborate facilities and sound welfare measures. )
转折:在农村生活也是令人满意的,因为消费水平低和更少的压力
(however, living in countryside is also satisfying due to the lower living cost and less pressure from work )
递进:到底生活在城市还是在农村更满足取决于经济状况。
(In my viewpoint, it depends on the financial situation of people which is a more satisfying place to live, rural or urban areas. )
