小编:Eileen 645转瞬间,2016年已然接近尾声了。全年的48场考试也即将完美收官。在整个11月各种老题重现的背景下,12月03号的考试仍然是故技重施。当天考题其实在2014年07月10号的考试中出现过。但是,此类题目并不算常见。相比之前11月的各个老题,本题的难度略有提升。下面这篇范文出自环球颜王团名师杨亮老师之手,希望对同学们的写作思路有所帮助。
真题如下:
Some countries build specialized facilities only for the training of top athletes, instead of providing facilities that everyone can use. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? 20161203
从提问方式来讲,是一个“积极或是消极”的论证。此类题目尽管每年都会如约而至,但是数量较为有限。通常而言,一年也不会超过五次。事实上,此类文章的写法与“同意与否”的题目大同小异而已。
审题之后,相信很多考生都会认为这件事情势必是一个消极的决定。本文笔者故意反其道而行之,故而立场和论证方式都是较为少见的写法。如果和各位读者之间的观点相佐,请不要介意。此类题目,考官根本不会在意考生的最终立场是否正确,因为立场就难分正确与否。
Countries, sometimes, like to invest fairly much money in training a few top sportsmen and sportswomen in order to win some gold medals in some international sports events, whereas few investment in those countries is being used for setting up sports facilities for the public. Critics assert that what those governments do is extremely irrational.
开头段第一句详述了这件事情的背景信息。随后,直抒立场。用很直接的方式表达出批评者们是没有道理的。
The initial standpoint held by those objectors is that building sports facilities for everyone in the country will definitely be beneficial for enhancing the fitness level of the general public, subsequently improving the public health. Eventually, what they ignore is that what can push people doing sports is not how many sports facilities there are around them but how much enthusiasm they have for sports. Generally, this enthusiasm can be generated by people’s watching some famous athletes winning gold medals on TV. Famous athletes, thought to be national heroes, are extraordinarily influential to promote a sport and concept of keeping healthy.
本段,本质上说是个让步段。既是,先表明了反对者的观点,随后再反驳其观点。进而证明这么做其实是积极的。
On top of this, what objectors like to argue is that the only outcome of governments’ investment on training those rare athletes is raising the national flag and playing the national anthem as some of those top athletes win the gold medals. Notwithstanding, what those objectors neglect is how many people all over the world are watching this in front of their TV sets. Some of those televiwers are who are looking for international trade and business cooperation, or who are thinking about foreign destinations for their family holidays. Media exposure like this helps countries build up positive international images, which might bring the country tremendous benefits in all areas.
本段与上段手法一样,还是一个让步段。从一个反对者消极的观点入手,最后论证出这么做的各种好处。
In a word, it is unfair for people to judge whether this issue is positive or not with only focusing on its apparent adverse impacts. Instead, favorable influences behind those negative ones are what the public really need to pay attention to.
结尾段强化了笔者立场。
读罢本文之后,读者难免会觉得这个笔者写东西太绕了。这从句套的魂牵梦绕一般。在此,笔者强调一下,真实考试中如此应用从句并不推荐。尤其对于语法知识匮乏的考生,切记不可轻易尝试。笔者执笔之时恰巧北京雾霾锁城,难见天日。故而,这绕来绕去的从句就应时应景般地出现在脑海之中。
