——是否应该拆除旧的建筑
WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Too much money has been spent in looking after and repairing old buildings; therefore, we should knock down old buildings and build modern ones instead.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
考官范文
In contemporary society, old buildings sometimes conflict with economic advancement. Some people suggest they should be knocked down to make way for new ones because people have spent too much money in protecting and maintaining them. Superficially, the above opinion sounds reasonable and constructive. However, I strongly disagree with it and the reasons are presented below.
The main cause for my propensity is that historic buildings are useful for studies. For each period of time, there are its typical architectures. Historic buildings reflect those style and materials that our predecessors used in construction. By studying them, researchers could understand the evolution of not only construction but also society and culture.
A further reason why I oppose the argument is that historic buildings bring advantages of tourism. Actually, when visiting a place, tourists are always attracted by historic places such as museums, palaces, or other famous ancient buildings. They are fascinated by something different from their home country or different from modern daily life. By maintaining and preserving historic buildings, the government can attract many tourists to visit their cities. Consequently, they can benefit much from tourism.
Last but not least, historic buildings are spiritual places. People often go to historic places for ceremony or celebration. They go to these places to thank for what their ancestors did for them, and wish good things for them and their children. Meanwhile, people are usually proud of their well-known historic places. For instance, the French are very proud of their Eiffel Tower, and the Egyptians take great pride in their pyramids.
As we have discussed, old buildings are part of a country’s history and are valuable in many ways. We should plan well and be wise to see their value. But at the same time, we are not advocating indiscriminate treatment to all old buildings, and some do need to be torn down for safety reasons. And we should also do our best to find solutions to make the old buildings and the new ones coexist in harmony.
范文译文
在当代社会,老建筑有时候与经济发展产生冲突。一些人认为由于人们已经花了太多的钱用于保护和维护老建筑,因此应当拆除它们,给新建筑腾地方。表面上看,以上观点很合理,很有建设性。但是,我强烈反对它,原因如下。
我这种倾向的主要原因是历史建筑对研究非常有用。因为每个时期都有其典型的建筑。历史建筑反映了我们的祖先在建筑中使用的风格和材料。通过研究它们,研究人员不仅可以理解建筑的发展史,同时也可以理解社会和文化的演进史。
我反对这个观点更进一步的原因是,历史建筑为旅游业带来了优势。实际上,游客在参观一个地方的时候,总会被诸如博物馆、宫殿等历史遗迹或其他著名的古建筑所吸引。他们会对那些不同于本国的或现代日常生活中的东西着迷。通过维护和保护历史建筑,政府可以吸引很多游客前往他们的城市。因此,他们可以从旅游业中获益。
最后但也同样重要的是,历史建筑属于精神领地。人们经常会去历史遗迹举行仪式或庆祝活动。他们去这些地方,感谢祖先为他们所做的一切,为自己和孩子们祈福。同时,人们通常为他们著名的历史遗迹感到自豪。例如,法国人为他们的埃菲尔铁塔而感到自豪,埃及人因金字塔而感到骄傲。
正如我们所讨论的,老建筑是国家历史的一部分,在许多方面颇有价值。我们应该规划好,明智地看待它们的价值。但与此同时,我们并不是鼓吹不加区别地对待所有的老建筑,有些建筑出于安全原因确实需要被拆除。同时我们也应当尽最大努力找到解决方法,使老建筑和新建筑和谐共存。

——上大学期间离开家是否要比和父母同住更好
WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
It is better for students to live away from home while studying at university than living with parents.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
考官范文
Nowadays, some youngsters continue to live with their parents since their enrollment in a college instead of living in the dormitory if conditions permit. However, in my opinion, living on campus would offer more advantages for their growth in various aspects.
To begin with, living away from home help the youth become more independent. Nowadays, many children are spoilt by their parents and being away from their families enables them to learn how to deal with problems in their life, such as time managing, learning effectively, and budgeting reasonably, etc. Independence is an important factor required for students to succeed in academic research and adapt to the competitive world in the future.
In addition, living in university is an effective way for students to develop their social skills. Some students are self-centred and only care about their own feelings before they attend college. However, when they share a room with other students coming from various backgrounds, they learn how to coexist with other people, how to cooperate and how to solve a dispute. The dormitory is a community where young people become mature very fast.
There is no denying that living at home brings students comfort and convenience, for they can enjoy the care and attention from their parents. They can always turn to their parents for help whenever they are in difficulty. However, relying on parents for a longer time certainly reduces the chances of interacting with peers, which is detrimental to their social skill development. So, young adults should be encouraged to live with people of their own age and experience the world.
In conclusion, I believe that growing-up means not only being an adult but also being an independent, sociable and responsible person. Therefore living away from parents is better for university students to enjoy their life and development in many aspects.
范文译文
现在,在条件允许的情况下,一些年轻人上大学后会继续与父母住在一起,而不是住在宿舍。然而,在我看来,住在校园里会对他们各方面的成长更加有利。
首先,离开家里有助于年轻人变得更加独立。如今,许多孩子都被他们的父母宠坏了,远离家人能使他们学习如何处理生活中的问题,如时间管理、有效地学习和合理地预算等。独立性对于学生在学术研究和将来适应未来世界的竞争方面是一个重要的因素。
此外,住在大学里是学生发展社交技巧的一种有效方式。有些学生在上大学以前以自我为中心,只在乎自己的感受。然而,当他们与其他来自不同背景的学生共用一个房间时,他们学会了如何与他人共处,如何合作以及如何解决争执。宿舍是一个社会,在那里年轻人很快变得成熟了。
无可否认,住在家里既舒适又方便,因为他们可以享受父母的照顾和关怀。无论什么时候他们有困难,他们总能求助于父母。然而,长期依赖父母必然会减少与同龄人交往的机会,这不利于他们社交技能的发展。所以,应该鼓励年轻人与他们的同龄人一起生活,体验世界。
总之,我相信成长不仅意味着长大成人,而且意味着要成为一个独立的、善交际的和负责任的人。因此,远离父母生活更有利于大学生享受他们的生活和各方面的发展。
三、双边讨论写法的结构
如果辩论型题目是给你两种对立的观点,请你讨论这两种观点并表明自己的立场;或要求讨论某件事情的优缺点,即题目的提问方式是:• Discuss both views and give your own opinion. • Do you think it is a positive or negative development? • Do you think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages? 这种题目最适合用双边讨论写法,即双边讨论写法尤其适合辩论型题目中“分析双方观点”和“利弊比较”的文章。这种写法的优点在于两面论述,照顾周全。又因为可以从优点和缺点、积极和消极等正反两方面去写,所以理由比较好找。辩论型题目双边讨论写法的结构是:
(一)模板句型
1. 开头段
(1)开头段介绍背景(同一边倒结构的开头段介绍背景) 。
(2)开头段介绍双方观点。
1)Some people hold the opinion that_____________. But others argue that___________________________.
一些人的观点是________________。但是另一些人认为____________________。
2)Some people hold the opinion that____________. But towards the same issue,
many others argue that_____________________.
一些人的观点是____________________。但对于同样的问题,很多其他的人认为______________________。
3)Some people hold the opinion that_______________. But other people stand on a
very different ground. They argue that________________________.
一些人的观点是___________。但是另一些人的立场完全不同。他们认为_________________。
4)Some people hold the opinion that_____________. But there are also quite a few people
who argue that____________________.
一些人的观点是____________。但是还有相当一部分人认为________________。

一些人的观点是_____________。但是还有相当一部分人完全反对他们的观点。
6)Some people hold the opinion that________. But some other people
strongly despise the above attitude.
一些人的观点是___________________。但是另一些人强烈反对前面的态度。

a sizable percentage of。
② 句型中的hold the opinion和argue还可以用下面的词替换:assert,contend,
argue,hold,insist,maintain,claim,suggest,think,believe,proclaim,
advocate,hold the view,are confident,are of the opinion,have the idea,
point out,take the view。
③ 句型中的but还可以用下面的词替换:while,but,whereas,however,

Nowadays, most people, especially the youngsters, may find themselves at a loss when their cell phones are not with them or when they are stopped from surfing the Internet. Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the merits and demerits of this phenomenon.
Modern technologies, such as mobile phones and the Internet, have many obvious advantages. To begin with, the Internet enlarges our circle of friends, as there are so many social network sites. In the past, we could only socialise with people in the same school or company, but now we can easily communicate with friends thousands of miles away, which has enriched our life and provided us with more access to information. In addition, compared with the old way of going to the post office or visiting people in person, emails and mobile phones enable us to keep in touch with our business partners and friends more conveniently and efficiently. Finally, as the new types of mobile phones and computers become cheaper and more popular, most people prefer to use them to share documents, exchange music files, send voice messages and take photos, etc.
Despite all these benefits, we should not neglect the drawbacks of the new technologies. Firstly, the heavy dependence on the mobile phones and the Internet, may to some extent, result in excessive exposure to radiation and the lack of face-to-face communication, which are harmful to people’s physical and mental health. Besides, some people, particularly teenagers, are addicted to making friends on the Internet, but they are too young to identify false information and fake identities. So they tend to get deceived when chatting with strangers on the Internet. Finally, as far as mobile phones are concerned, they can also become annoying in some circumstances. For instance, we are often bothered by some people who use mobile phones in conference rooms or in classes.
In conclusion, the disadvantages do exist when people are too dependent on these modern ways of communication. However, the original purpose of the mobile phones and the Internet is to provide convenience for people to get in touch with each other and to save time for them to fulfill their daily tasks. In this sense, it is our habits in using them that are to blame rather than the modern technologies, if there are some negative influences. So, I would claim that the advantages of mobile phones and the Internet still carry more weight than their disadvantages.
范文译文
如今,大多数人,尤其是年轻人,如果没带手机或者不让他们上网,他们就会不知所措。在给出我的观点之前,我认为看一看这种现象的优点和缺点是很重要的。
现代技术,如移动电话和互联网,有许多明显的优点。首先,互联网扩大了我们的朋友圈,因为有如此多的社交网站。在过去,我们只能与同一个学校或公司的人交往,但现在我们可以很容易地与数千英里之外的朋友交流,这丰富了我们的生活,为我们提供了更多获取信息的机会。此外,和去邮局(寄信)或亲自拜访别人这些旧的方式相比,电子邮件和移动电话使我们与商业伙伴和朋友的联系更加方便高效。最后,由于新型的移动电话和电脑变得更便宜、更流行,大多数人喜欢利用它们来分享文件、交换音乐、发送语音信息以及拍摄照片,等等。
尽管有这些好处,我们也不应忽视新技术的缺点。首先,过度依赖移动电话和互联网可能会在一定程度上导致受到的辐射太多,并且缺乏面对面的沟通,这对于人们的身体和精神健康是有害的。此外,有些人,尤其是青少年,沉迷于网上交友,但是他们太年轻,无法识别虚假信息和伪造的身份。所以他们在互联网上与陌生人聊天时往往会受骗。最后,就手机而言,它们在某些情况下也会变得令人烦恼。例如,在会议室或教室,由于一些人使用手机,我们经常会受到烦扰。
总之,如果人们过于依赖这些现代通信方式,弊端确实会存在。然而,移动电话和互联网的初衷是方便人们与他人取得联系,使他们在完成日常工作时节约时间。从这个意义上来讲,如果有什么负面影响,那也应该归咎于我们的使用习惯,而不应该归咎于现代技术。所以,我认为手机和互联网的优点仍然比它们的缺点要多。

——城市交通量大的原因和解决办法

There is no doubt that the dramatic development of road traffic has become a huge problem, both in cities and on motorways everywhere. What factors lead to this phenomenon and what we can do to solve the problem have become a concern to many people.
I think various reasons may lead to the high volumes of road traffic. To start with, as a result of the development of the automobile industry, cars have become affordable to ordinary people, whose income has also grown significantly in recent years. On top of this, in many modern cities, a considerable percent of young people need to travel to work on weekdays and spend weekends in the countryside, so cars have become necessities for them. Furthermore, the policy of developing economy should also be responsible for some urban issues including traffic congestion. In order to stimulate domestic consumption, the public are encouraged to own their private cars, but in metropolises with dense population, such policy definitely leads to more vehicles on roads.
To tackle the problem of increasing traffic, every possible solution should be tried. To start with, the government is obliged to improve the choice of pubic transport services available to travellers. For example, if sufficient suburban railway and underground railway were built and effectively maintained, then traffic on the roads would be significantly reduced. The larger capacity of public vehicles compared with private cars can effectively ease the traffic pressure on city roads. Moreover, more scientific researches about traffic management should be conducted, which could then help to create a more orderly and smooth traffic flow. Finally, there are also some other measures that could be implemented to help to solve this problem, such as charging a high parking fee, more expensive petrol or restrictions on driving days.
To sum up, this disturbing problem is attributed to many factors and I believe with the joint efforts from individuals and the government, it can be eventually resolved. That is to say, the improvement of road traffic would depend on the determination and action of the government and it also requires the higher awareness of the public.
范文译文
毫无疑问的是,道路交通量急剧增加已成为一个很大的问题,无论是在城市还是各个地方的高速公路都是如此。什么因素导致了这个现象以及我们如何来解决这个问题已经成为很多人关心的事。
我认为导致道路交通量增加的原因可能有很多。首先,由于汽车工业的发展,汽车已成为普通人都能买得起的东西,人们的收入在最近几年大大增加了。除此之外,在许多现代城市,大部分年轻人平日里要出去上班,周末则要在乡村度过,因此汽车已成为他们的必需品。而且,促进经济发展的政策也要对交通拥堵等城市问题负责。为了刺激国内消费,公众都被鼓励购买自己的私家车,但是在人口密集的大都市,这样的政策必然会导致道路上出现更多车辆。
为了解决日益增长的交通量问题,每一个可能的方案都应该尝试。首先,政府有责任改善公共交通服务,增加人们出行的选择。例如,如果建造并保持足够多的城铁和地铁,那么公路上的交通将大大减少。和私家车相比,大容量的公交车辆能有效缓解城市道路交通的压力。此外,应该进行更多的交通管理方面的研究,这有助于建立一个更加有序、顺畅的交通。最后,还有一些其他的措施可以实施,以帮助解决这一问题,如收取高额的停车费,提高汽油的价格或限制驾驶天数。
总之,这个问题是由很多因素引起的。我认为,通过个人和政府的共同努力,它最终会被解决。也就是说,道路交通的改善取决于政府的决心和行动,同时它也需要公众意识的提高。
