五段论式写法例题及十四大文套
1． Topic:Some people believe television has more disadvantages. Others think it
is more advantageous. What do you think?
Everything in the world has its own two sides. Without exception, there are
both advantages and disadvantages brought about by television. In my opinion,
everyone should admit that its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
The main reason that can be seen by everyone is that television presents
a vivid world in front of us. It tells us what is happening right now in the world.
Television not only gives us the news in which we are interested but also shows it
in pictures more powerful than words. In particular, important events are often
broadcast live so that the audiences feel as if they were participating.
Another factor we must consider is that television also plays an educational
role in our daily life. We are often attracted by the programs about life in foreign
countries which we want to know about. We can also learn about history by watching
related programs. English programs are popular among the people who are studying
this language. What is more, university TV has been recognized as the most effective
method of part-time education.
On the other hand, there are some complaints about the television. For
example, some children spend hours before the little screen, ignoring their study,
outdoor activities and even their family. Parents say that these kids are indifferent
to nearly everything and premature somehow. Nevertheless, it is not the
television's fault. We should tell our children how to handle these problems
properly.
In short, given the factors I have just outlined, it is safely to draw the
conclusion that television is more advantageous.
2． 对称式写法 Topic: Some People think children should be taken care of at home
by their mothers. Others argue that it would be good for them if they are sent to
kindergartens? What is your opinion.
Everything in the world has its own two sides. Without exception, the
discussion about whether or not children should be taken care of at home by their
mothers is a very controversial one. There are people on both sides of the
argument who have very strong feeling.
Looking after children at home does seem to have a number of advantages.
72
Firstly, mothers may be able to provide a more practical education for their children
than kindergartens can. Secondly, a child's home is likely to provide a more relaxed
atmosphere than what a kindergarten can offer. Mothers can also keep their children
away from negative influences. The last advantage is that mothers are often said
to know what is best for their children.
Many people, however, argue that children should be sent to the kindergarten.
Firstly, children are isolated at home, while in the kindergarten, they are given
opportunities to develop in the social context and become accustomed to
communicating with peers independently. Next, kindergartens can provide
professionally trained teachers and all kinds of educational facilities from which
children can benefit. Finally, mothers can concentrate on their work and develop
their career, which is also helpful to the social development.
In my opinion, I believe that children should be taken care of in
kindergarten instead of being educated at home by their mothers. In this way, both
children and their mothers can get benefits. Mothers are able to advance their
careers and the family need not live on one income. At the same time, children can
get better education. They can learn to be independent and to solve problems by
themselves.
