英文范文寫作筆記

1、Issue 文章的開頭就是分析issue的觀點，一分為二，支持與不支持。并提出自己的觀點，1 直接支持所述觀點開頭：Introduce In today's complex and rapidly changing society,闡述現(xiàn)代社會的背景，或者該問題的歷史發(fā)展過程。然后就即將展開論證的各要素進行事先的提示，說明本人將在哪一些方面進行舉例支持該論點。（例子很重要，要有足夠的例子來說明）正文：Body， First of all, Secondly， Admittedly(讓步說明，但是目的還是要支持論點)結尾：Conclusion 重寫Introduction,形成首尾呼應。

2、范文：事實上，一篇好的Issue文章，不僅要擺出自己的論點及支持的論據(jù)，同時也要指出自己的漏洞所在，學會讓步。因此我們常常必然會將這種說法進行變化，變成兩個優(yōu)點和一個缺點，很多人擔心這么做會weaken論證的說服力，但事實上這種擔心是完全沒有必要的。相反，這種寫法更能加強說服力。ETS也認可這種寫法，因此我們沒有任何理由拒絕這種寫作方法，在這個寫法中我們務必注意一點就是很多參考書包括孫老師的范文，把Admittedly放在第二段，事實上，這極不符合美國人的邏輯思維，因此David強烈建議大家寫作的時候按照David給的模板操作：In the first place /To begin with

3、In the second place /Furthermore/In additionAdmittedly / However, it should be admitted (confessed) that / However, there is no denying that舉舉例子說說吧，順便也講講寫作思路的展開。issue41.“Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in societ

4、y by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science.”研究界的一些非主流領域，比如星象學、占卜學和意念及超自然探索，在社會中起到了很重要的作用，因為他們滿足了人們無法從主流科學獲得的需求。題目告訴我們：非主流文化在社會中起到很重要的作用。好，我們嘗試用比較雙方觀點的方式開頭：The author asserts that the nonmainstream areas of inquiry play a considerable part 這個結構記下來，它和題目中的play a vital role

5、 in一起將來在大家的寫作中必然要用的for its satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. 復述主題Critics of this idea argue that mainstream science could not be weighted.反面的觀點，個人認為可以不要As for me, however, I will contend that 你的觀點nonmainstream areas of inquiry are beneficial to the society to some

11、內(nèi)容/inquiring nonmainstream should prevent people from actively struggle against fate or making effort for better future.提出一點弱點，但要記住你提出這樣一個觀點，后面一定要展開，有些考生不注重或者說沒有足夠的時間來寫這一段，如果實戰(zhàn)中沒有時間展開，不妨刪掉這一段。如果寫了，就要展開，這個是ETS的要求。其實，展開很簡單，舉個身邊的小例子一句話帶過就可以。第五段：寫總結。In conclusion, I hope it has been shown that.這個文章的作者是一

12、位實戰(zhàn)中至少得了4分的作文，拿出來講的目的就是增加一下大家的信心，連這樣爛的文章也能得4？但這是事實，以后我們講連續(xù)分析兩篇6分ETS給的范文，我們好好體會6分的魅力所在：感受范文結構特點和論證方式，同時介紹怎樣收集好詞靚句。這里先不過多解釋。"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."There are some who would say that the media reflect

13、s the values of society. I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society. The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace. I offer two examples that serve well to illustrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral

14、fibers in our society. The first medium that comes to mind is music. Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, and express new attitudes. Music is widely available to almost everyone in our society. To see how music has changed the values of our society, one needs only to lo

15、ok to the urban sprawl. Rap and gangster styles of music reach millions of city teens and young adults. It's message is quite simple- violence, drugs, and sex . Young people are constantly bombarded with the message that if you want something all you have to do is to take it. The values of human

16、 life, respect for elders and children have been lost. We have gangs and random killings in the streets of most cities in our country. Are these my values? They are most certainly not. This music does not reflect the values of this society. This music is the very core of this degradation of our valu

17、es. How many tricked out gang cars to you see that don't have the annoying bass rumble of Rap music vibrating out of them? This music is part of the persona of a whole generation of people. It is just as much a part of their ego as the guns, drugs, and abuse of women. Another medium that is shap

18、ing the values of our society is advertising. Advertising is everywhere, on T.V., billboards, radio, even at the ballpark. Through advertising some vendors can create "values". To illuminate my point I will use tobacco companies as an example. Joe Camel has convinced millions of young

19、 people that it is cool to smoke. The Marlboro man has done the same. The audience is always the same. These ads are targeting young people. They have created the "value" among children that it is ok for kids to smoke. Again the values of society have been changed by a powerful media. I

20、9;m sure there are not too many parents out there who would want their children to start smoking. Another advertising media that will surely change the values of ours society is the Internet. The internet is really just the world's largest commercial launched under the veil of access of use

21、ful information. It will be interesting to see just how this new network that has brought the world together will affect our values. These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illustrate that the media can in fact change our values. As for me, I&

22、#39;ll be out back smoking a Don Lino, on a beautiful trout stream while sipping a cold beer, waiting for the trout to rise and hoping a couple of those girls from the Coors commercial show up.2 反對所述觀點（基本同支持的方法）開頭：Introduce Though I fundamentally agree that most of the faculty in the universities sh

23、ould have the experience to participate the employment or real works outside the academic world, it is unwarranted to expend this broad assertion to embrace the all faculty in the college. Therefore, my contention toward this opinion is that正文：Body 就Opinion的觀點展開，所以該Opinion最好不要太單一，反對的最好方式還是詳細分類，一類人適合

24、該論點，并舉出合適的原因與例子。而另外一類不合適，并稍微展開。結尾：Conclusion 重寫Introduction,形成首尾呼應。范文：The study of history is only valuable if it is relevant to our daily lives To state that the study of history is only valuable if it is relevant to our daily lives is to ignore the value that history has beyond the day-to-day acti

25、vities of human beings. It would seem to be a rather shallow statement that implies that humans only live just to survive rather than planning for the futures of their children and the environment.First of all, to study history is to look at a road map of human behavior that has led us to where we a

26、re today in the world. For example, the lessons learned during all of the past wars can make for more effective wartime leadership by avoiding mistakes made by past commanders. From the ancient Chinese author Sun Tzu's book "The Art of War", today's military commanders and even bus

27、iness leaders gather valuable information that allows them to operate more efficiently and effectively. The study of this type of history has a value beyond the daily lives of people. It can lead to a military victory or the success of a business that directly affects what happens in the future, inc

28、luding the futures of those that are possibly not even born yet. Another example is that by studying history, parents can help to improve the lives of their children in the future. Lessons learned by generations of their ancestors before them could help show them the way to properly raise a child. W

29、hat worked for others can give guidance to the parents of today and tomorrow to make sure that children are prepared for their own futures beyond their daily lives. Additionally, the study of medical advances made throughout history can be the foundation to build upon to make the medical advances of

30、 today and tomorrow to make people live longer and healthier lives. A researcher's daily life may not be enhanced by the study of the history of the AIDS pathogen, but it could certainly bring about a profound effect on the lives of others in the future if ways to control and cure the disease ar

31、e found. The study of previous research over history has led to many amazing medical discoveries. To study history only to enrich one's daily life would here again seem to be incongruous with the truth.A further example of the value of the study of history beyond its effect on daily life is the

32、treatment of the environment and the earth as a whole. Looking back to the past to see the various effects of various human behaviors on the environment can show valuable lessons on what can happen if proper precautions are not taken. The nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl have bee

33、n studied to ensure that they do not happen again. Certainly the study of the effects of nuclear materials on humans and the environment provides value beyond that of the day-to-day life of people. The study of oil spills and their effects on the environment gives similar guidance on how to avoid or

34、 at least minimize the damage of an oil spill on the environment. The study of the disintegration of the ozone layer over the poles of the earth has given birth to new laws and regulations on certain chemicals that help to preserve this valuable part of our atmosphere. All of these examples of study

35、ing history provide value far beyond its impact on the daily lives of people.To be certain, there are people out there that believe that only what affects them right here and right now is important. For them, the study of history might seem to be a waste of time if it does not affect their day-to-da

36、y lives. But for countless other individuals and groups, the study of history leads to improvements in activities that have an effect reaching far into the future, beyond their daily lives. The futures of mankind and the environment depend on these types of people who have enough foresight to study

37、history to make for a better future for everyone.(690 words)"Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."I disagree with the argument that "Both the development of tec

38、hnological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."" Arguments can be made for this thesis, but they depend largely upon what I believe to be a poor definition of "loneliness". If one defines

39、 loneliness as the absence of as much physical, face-to-face contact with other people, then this argument is probably true. The invention of modern telecommunications devices such as telephones, fax machines, and computers has definitely cut down on the amount of physical contact with other people.

40、 This is especially true in recent times due to the extremely rapid expansion of the Internet. E-mail and tele-conferencing are direct substitutes for physical contact, especially in the business world. However, I believe that loneliness can be better measured by intellectual contact with other

41、 individuals. Unarguably, modern technology makes this faster and easier, with better communication with a larger number of people. Some employers have argued that productivity is lessened since they have had computers linked to the Internet, as the employees spend much of their time "chatting&

42、quot; with friends, acquaintances, or business contacts across the country. This is probably not a good thing for the employers, but it demonstrates the increased degree of communication due to modern technology. Of course, some technologies have increased loneliness by any standards, such as t

43、he automobile or other transportation mechanisms. These encourage substantially longer commutes between home and work. Automobiles have made possible the pattern of suburbanization that has been in place in the United States since immediately after World War Two. Time spent commuting is generally un

44、productive and spent alone, unless the individual in question is car-pooling or using mass transit. The contribution of the commuting culture to loneliness may actually be changing now due to new technology that is being invented and used by the general public. Popular new devices, such as the cellu

45、lar phone, the laptop computer, and the combination thereof may actually convert commuting time to a period of increased communications between people, to "pass the time". This will be especially true as use of mass transit grows, which will probably happen, due to problems with gas shorta

46、ges, air pollution, and the creation of further mass transit by federal and local governments. The motivation for the declaration that loneliness is increasing may be due to the fact that many people, especially blue-collar workers, are unable to afford or use these new devices. However, since

47、the advent of the personal computer, the price per computing power has continually lowered rapidly, and this trend shows no sign of changing. Several companies, such as Sun Microsystems and Oracle have announced that they are attempting to develop terminals with little computing power, but a full ca

48、pability to access the Internet. These devices will be in approximately the $500 price range, which is much more reasonable than the price of the current top of the line PC. In addition, to cater to a larger mass of the public, software companies have been carefully making their products easier to u

49、se by non-"computer nerds". This trend is not likely to cease. In conclusion, although early development of modern transportation may have increased loneliness, I believe that more recent technologies are actually doing the opposite, stimulating interpersonal contact and encouraging i

50、ntellectual expansion. The perception that the opposite is true derives from what I believe is poor definition of loneliness and the difficulty that the working class has in acquiring and using modern telecommunications devices.3 平衡所有觀點 開頭：Introduction1> With the development of human society / in

Each person can only hold enough knowledge to add one small rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon." （下面是總結上面的引用）This illustrates the point that our societies level of knowledge and technology is at a stage in which there simply must be specialists in order for our society to take advantage of the information available t
