Some people like to live in a community as long as possible, while others like to move frequently for various reasons. Which is better ?
For many people, moving house is one of the vicissitudes of their lives and it happens for various reasons: lower rent, a better job, brighter prospect, family misfortune, and so on. However, there are some people in the world who prefer to stick to their old houses and stay in one community for the entire course of their lives. To my way of thinking, these two opposite modes of life have their own merits and demerits.
The most obvious advantage to moving house is that people can live in a new social and natural environment, which is often safer, cleaner, more friendly and exciting than that of their old neighborhood. Living in a new community canal so be a new starting point in life for the migrants, who may find better job sand brighter prospects there, the very reason that appeals to them in the first place. Also, by making new acquaintances and building up new social and business contacts, their horizons are vastly expanded and the result is that they often find new meanings of life and achieve greater success than they could possibly imagine in their hometown. However, there are also inevitable disadvantages, such as the parting with relatives and old friends,the isolation from the local society and even the hostility of new neighbors,who may regard them as unwelcome outsiders or intruders.
Similarly,there are many benefits attached to sticking to one locale forever. Because a person’s old neighborhood is usually the place where he was born and grew up, there must be a lot of old schoolmates, bosom friends and supportive family members who have close relationships with him and who are certain to give him assistance, encouragement and confidence in his hard times. Moreover,by dwelling in one community from the cradle to the grave, people can enjoy a stable and tranquil life and avoid the hidden dangers and hectic struggles of venturing into unfamiliar surroundings. Nevertheless, a major drawback that often associates with never changing one’s domicile and social environment is that life may become colorless and monotonous after many years of routine living. More often than not, people will be engulfed in such undesirable qualities as bigotry, prejudice and provincialism.
In conclusion, pros and cons coexist in these two different lifestyles. Thus,when it comes to making decisions about moving and staying, it is not important which one people opt for. The only important thing is that they know how to live in an adaptive way and make judicious use of the resources in their new or old communities.
这是一篇典型的“二选一”类型的文章。这里题目有典型的字眼:some...,while others...。当我们拿到题目时,不要急着下笔,一定要牢记正确的顺序:思考-列提纲-答题。
需要思考什么呢?首先,这个话题从何而来;其次,这两个选项是否可以同时客观存在?
如果两个选项是同时客观存在的,比如题目中两种人,那我们可以立刻确定使用4段式,两个段分别描述两个选项。
开头段:考生使用的是较为保守的“改写题目” “观点”的方法,即不做过多的联想,只对于题目进行词汇或者短语的替换,但是大意不变,后给出自己的看法。这种方法对于得分而言是可取的,但是缺少新意。考生使用了若干个高级词汇:vicissitudes/misfortune/course/merits and demerits,一定程度上弥补了不足。and so on 可以改为etc.
第二段:论述了“经常搬家”的好处。在这一段中,考生体现体现了语法多样化。多次使用表语从句/非限定定语从句/非谓语动词/对比结构/副词修饰,更为重要的是,在本段结尾处,考生也提到了“频繁搬家“的弊端。
第三段:运用了同样的结构讨论了”不搬家“的好处和坏处。考生很聪明,避免在每段开头使用first/secondly...等生硬词汇,而使用了similarly,大家可以借鉴。并且,考生没有使用”you“来举例子,而使用了a person,很显然是下了功夫的。这段中的问题在于一个词:forever,好改为for the whole life time。在英美文化中forever是不现实的,所以不应该说I will love you forever,应该是I will love you till the end of my life.
结尾段:除了再次陈述立场,考生还巧妙地对于话题进行了升华,将话题延申到了有效利用身边资源。请注意,此处并没有跑题,依然和”住“紧密相关。
综合评分:结构清晰,句型多样,无重大语法错误,无跑题,词汇使用恰当
