A.是否给出了明确的观点standpoint
B.是否进行了直接的解释 explanation
C.是否能够用自己的生活经历给出一定的支持 concrete examples
D.是否能够从反证角度给予阐述 disproof
E.是否能够想到间题的另一面. contrary aspect
针对考官的每一个考察点，我们也能相应地组织和发展自己的思路:
问答“高分公式”
真題剖析

真題剖析
例 1: Is your family important to you?
完整版:
Definitely yes, my family means everything to me,
simply because they gave me life, raised me up and have supported almost every decision that I have ever made.
For example, I am about to study overseas and my family would give me sufficient financial support, so I wouldn’t need to worry about my living expenses and tuition.
Without my family, I don’t believe I could survive for more than three days. (反证,夸张,虚拟语气等都是考官给分的重点)
So without any doubt, my family is the most important thing in my life.
实用版:
起、承、接、反、转 、合就好像六张 牌。第一张 ，回答问题 、给出立场牌为必打，其他的句以根据具体问题和答题习惯选择 性出牌。考试时 考生可以按不同顺序搭配使用，形成不同的效果，但是要注意逻辑关系，比如说,举例子要放在解释之后。搭配方式多种多样大家只要记好关键词和逻辑顺序，完全可以自由组 合。
直接反证 :
Yes, computer is extremely necessary in my daily life, just like eating and sleeping.
反：
Without a computer, I wouldn’t be able to get access to my online social net works, like Weibo/ Renren/QQ/email, and then I would lose connection with most of my friends and classmates. Without computers, it would be inconvenient for me to finish my assignment, prepare my class presentation and do research online. Without computers, my life would be boring and monotonous, simply because I am used to amusing myself by listening to music, watching movies, playing computer games on computers every day.
考生甚至可以反问考官:
Can you imagine life without your computer? Can you imagine birds flying without wings?
Can you imagine people living without air and water? So…
So, you tell me how important computer is!!
起 Normally speaking, I am keener on eating at restaurants,
承simply because I can try a wider range/selection of food at restaurants.
接For example, I can enjoy Japanese food, like sushi，sashimi and udon noodle.
反But if I eat at home, I probably could only have Chinese food, since my mum has no idea of how to cook Japanese food.
转However, I do know that food safety is becoming increasingly alarming these days in China. So, somehow eating at home will be more hygienic and guaranteed.
技术分析:
回答问题的最难点在于如何以最快的速度找准思路，并且还要清 晰明了。其实思路很明显，那就是提到这个问题时，大多数人都会想到的观点。比如说 :
在家吃
money-saving/hygienic/ better family atmosphere /
sharing moment/homemade…
在外吃
time-saving/labour-saving/ wider range of selection
/more appropriate for business banquet
Personally speaking, I would rather swim in a swimming pool than swim in the ocean,
simply because swimming in a pool is much safer than swimming in the ocean.
For example, If I swim in the ocean, I would face great danger, say, coming across a shark.
So I’d rather swim in a peaceful swimming pool.
Mostly, 1 have a fancy for watching movies at home,
mainly because it is money-saving, and besides, I could rewind and pause at any time.
But I do know that watching movies in cinemas could offer us better atmosphere and better audio-visual effects.
So it depends on the situation. For some highly recommendable blockbusters, I would choose to watch the movie in a cinema.
在电影院看的其他理由:
The thrill of watching movies on a bigger screen
荧幕更大,更加震撼
Atmosphere is more exciting 更加紧张刺激
More deeply involved in the movie 更加投入
Only place to watch a premiere 酉以看到首映
在家看的其他理由:
More cosy /homey/comfy 更舒服
Switch it off or switch channels when you feel uninterested 不感兴趣可以关掉或者换台
Share opinions and discuss with friends while watching 边看边聊
