該題是一篇典型的“三段論”作文。從結(jié)構(gòu)上來說，應(yīng)該這樣行文：在文章的第一段，作者應(yīng)該把重點(diǎn)放在正面的觀點(diǎn)上；而在文章的第二段，就應(yīng)該與第一段構(gòu)成鮮明的對(duì)比，把反面的觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)清楚。在文章的第三段，作者再提出自己的觀點(diǎn)。

這篇文章的重點(diǎn)應(yīng)該放在第一段或者第二段上。這取決于作者的態(tài)度。如果你認(rèn)為在國內(nèi)學(xué)習(xí)比較好，第一段就是本文的重點(diǎn)段落，就應(yīng)該在這一部分多花一些筆墨；如果你認(rèn)為應(yīng)該到美國留學(xué)，第二段就是本文的重心。而在文章結(jié)束的第三段中，作者只需用幾句話表明自己的觀點(diǎn)即可，可以贊成前者，也可以贊成后者，也可以保持中立。在文章的結(jié)尾，用兩句話發(fā)出號(hào)召即可。
