(【题型特征】

【应对技巧】

1. 写作方法
(1) 整体对比写作发:即从整体上论述针对某一事物的正、反观点。如论述网络的利弊时,先全面阐述网络
的益处,然后再整体介绍网络的弊端。
(2) 部分对比写作法:即将某一事物的一个正面观点与其相对应的反面观点一起论述。如论述武侠小说对学生
课余生活的影响,正面认为武侠小说丰富了学生的课余生活,反面认为武侠小说使学生沉溺于虚幻的世界中而忽略了学习。
2. 对比性议论文的结构通常是并列式的,所以无论作者采用了哪种写作方法,对立的两者间必须使用适当的过
渡成分,从而使前后衔接。
3. 常用词语(组)和句型
● 开头句:
1. We have had a heated discussion about whether we should ….
2. The topic of … is becoming the most popular one recently.

2. But some people don't agree with them in veral points. First, they believe

● 自己观点:
1. In my opinion, I like …(哪方观点).The reason is that ….
2. In a word, my person al view emphasizes on …(采取对策)in a scientific point.
● 总结过渡词
1. 表转折或对比关系:on one hand …on the other hand…, for one thing… for
<,but , while, yet, on the contrary ,compared with, in spite of , instead.
2. 表递进关系:also, besides, furthermore, moreover, what's more,
in addition ,what's wor, wor still, to make matters\things wor.

A 方观点,60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fee.
A. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themlves becau
charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away.

巩固练习2】读写任务
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Sweet Litter Liars
What if you could submit your kid to a lie detector test of sorts? Would you want to know if your child told the truth? Rearchers at McGill University have been gathering child volunteers aged 3-14 for experiments to study
the role of lying in children‟s development. In one study kids are taken into a room, told to face the w
all and not to turn around, not to peek(偷看)at a toy on the table. But when kids were left alone, time after time the kids would take a look. In fact, 80% of the kids peeked within conds of being alone. Then, when the adult returns to the room and asks if the child turned around, the kids tend to lie. In 74% of kids ranging in age from 4 to 7 lied about it.
“The are not bad children, the are very typical children,” said Victoria Talwar, an assistant professor in developmental psychology. “It‟s natural, normal behavior that children will occasionally tell lies.”
Lying is normal, natural? According to Talwar, lying is a positive developmental milestone. “The fact is that lying isn‟t a good behavior. We don‟t want people to lie,” Talwar continued, “but lying is a good thing in that it‟s a by-product of a positive de velopment in children. So when we e lying in children, it‟s actually a maker of this ability to understand someone el‟s idea.”

Dear Editor,
Recently I read a passage about kids’ lying.According to the experiment mentioned in the passage, it‟s a natural, normal behavior that children will occasionally tell lies and lying is a positive developmental milestone.
In my opinion, kid‟s lying sometimes is unavoidable. After all, they are too young to understand everything in many cas, so they have to choo to lie to others. For example, a child happens to kick a ball against a window
carelessly and the glass I broken. Maybe in front of the angry adult, the child has to tell a lie that the glass is not broken by him to avoid a vere punishment. Of cour, lying is not what we teach children. To tell the truth is what we want. For example, one day your younger brother stole some money from your pur. In this ca, your brother should tell you the truth or he will not be a good boy.
In short, as for kid‟s lying, we should first know what caus them to lie to others. And then we take some proper measures accordingly to prai them or teach them not to.
Yours sincerely,
