》猫头鹰夜语：
关于看电视对于儿童的影响问题，在托福(或雅思)作文考试中是频率较高的话题。夜猫子转载一篇美国小学生的母语短文，请网友不要小看论说文(双边讨论)的阳春模式。
如果按照托福写作评分标准打分数，光是字数达不到最低要求(300字)的一半，可能就过不了关。其实老美写作老师只建议小学生写120-150字。(样文凡137字，所以合乎特殊标准。)
猫头鹰广播这一篇小八股(仅仅8句话)的用意是希望托福(新手)候选人洞察论说文基础模式之一种写法：越简单越是有效率，不过总是少不了老套的【起承转合】。
按一般常态统计字数，应付托福大作文时最好养成造18个句子的习惯，不多不少。猫头鹰在线实验室认为雅思也一样装配18句，使其跳越250字，以至于稍微超过托福的300字底线。想来，如果字数不足则难以论证。不知资深网友看法如何?
提示：以下短文的模式并不代表谢振礼老师的(18句)范文习惯：起3承6转6合3。

Sample Writing by an American Student (Primary School):
起
TV watching for children is a hot topic. While some people believe that TV is a bad influence encouraging bad habits, others believe that TV provides educational material and models good behavior.
承
On the one hand, TV can provide information that kids need. Programs such as "Discovery Kids" or "Animal Planet" provide news that help children understand the world around them. Additionally, TV promotes and demonstrates good habits such as participating in sport and eating healthily.
转
On the other hand, TV advertisements encourage children to be greedy and thoughtless consumers. Also supporting this view is the idea that children should learn about sport and health issues by actively engaging in these pursuits rather than simply watching them on the screen.
合
In conclusion, although TV can be educational and promote healthy choices, it can also encourage bad habits.
