　　《综合写作》

　　【话题分类】科技类

　　【考题回忆】总论点：是否要使用CFLs的灯

　　【阅读部分】

　　不要使用

　　分论点一： 贵

　　分论点二：污染环境

　　分论点三：light比较narrow

　　【听力部分】

　　要使用

　　分论点一：寿命是普通灯泡的8-15倍

　　分论点二：普通灯泡更污染环境因为有化石燃料

　　分论点三：新一代的CFLs已经解决了

　　【解题思路】

　　传统四段式写作，每一段阅读内容+听力内容，注意细节和同义替换

　　【参考范文】　　Both the reading and the lecture are talking about CFLs. The author of the reading claims that CFLs should not be used to replace incandescence lamps. However, the lecturer challenges this perspective by providing three reasons.

　　The reading first claims that CFLs are quite expensive. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that CFLs are more durable and it can last for 8-15 times longer than incandescence lamps, and so using CFLs, in fact, can save a lot of money.　Secondly, the reading passage conceives that CFLs can release mercury, causing pollution and bring damage to the environment. The listening, by contrast, says that despite this, CFLs are much better than common incandescence lamps, because using incandescence lamps needs more electricity to be generated by using more fossil fuels. The more electricity to be used, the more pollution can be caused.

In the final analysis, the writer in the reading asserts that due to narrow range, CFLs can make people’s eyes not so comfortable. The professor in the lecture points out that by providing the same color range as the incandescence lamps, the newest CFLs have already solved this problem.

　　《独立写作》

　　【话题分类】抽象类

　　【考题回忆】　　Traditions are defined as customary or established ways of doing things in a family, community, or culture. Some people believe that it is important to follow traditions even when those traditions conflict with or are quite different from their own individual preferences. Other people believe that individual preferences are more important than traditions. Which view do you agree with, and why?

　　【解题思路】同意第二个观点，原因：

　　1.每个人的情况不一样，相比存在很长时间在某些群体或者文化中的传统，结合自己的偏好来做事，更能提升做事效率和实际效果

　　2.时代在发展，很多传统的方式已经不大符合现状，在传统之上结合自己喜好找到一个平衡和折中，可能更能顺应时代

　　【对于第一个观点】

　　让步：

　　传统的做事方式因为存在的时间久，在很多的文化中都被证明是对的或者合理的，不会有太大风险同时可能更加保险，而结合个人喜好可能与大众主流的想法不同，产生冲突，同时可靠性还未知，在一些地方或者文化例不容易得到大众的认可

　　反驳：

　　1.在过去时间里合理不代表在现在合理

　　2.风险与机遇并存，结合个人喜好的做事方式可能会带来新的机会

　　3.就算不顾个人喜好按照传统做事，可能有违自己内心，做事会不开心甚至产生抵触心理

　　【参考范文】　　Having existed for a long time, traditions, which consist of a set of beliefs and customs, are usually considered as normal and standard practices among many cultures. Therefore, it is argued by some people that despite potential conflicts with people’s own personal preferences, following traditions is more important way of doing things. However, I personally agree with the view that individual preferences are more important than traditions.　　There are two main reasons. For one thing, it is acknowledged that every person has his or her own distinct features. With different family, social, cultural or educational backgrounds, people all have formed their own ways of doing things with their preferences. Following traditions, by contrast, always means that people should adopt the same methods to deal with various situations. However, these traditions, in some cases, could turn out to be quite rigid and do not suit every person. If people can apply their own preferable ways, they can be more motivated and so are more likely to complete tasks with higher efficiency and bring better outcomes. For another, times have changed, and some traditions are no longer appropriate for the current society. In this case, people have to make compromise and individual preferences can help to accelerate this process in the hope of finding better ways to cope with some unexpected even more complicated situations.　Admittedly, there are some reasons why some people believe traditions are more important than personal preferences. Since traditions have existed for a long time, they have always proven to be the right way or the most reasonable method of doing things without having too much potential to take risks. Individual preferences, however, probably are quite different from the popular opinions and sometimes even cause some conflicts. Most importantly, due to the uncertainty, personal preferences cannot easily be accepted by the general public as well. Nevertheless, what I want to refute is that traditions cannot always be sensible in today’s era, and since opportunities and risks can coexist, doing things with one’s own preferences can also bring numerous new opportunities. Also, if people choose to only follow the traditions and ignore their own individual needs, it is difficult for them to handle things with joy and perhaps they may even get depressed in the end.　Therefore, it is not reasonable to only follow the traditions even when those traditions have conflicts with or are quite different from personal preferences. I firmly believe that individual preferences are more important than traditional ways. Faced with opportunities and risks, people should try to figure out the most appropriate ways to treat traditions. 详情咨询老师即可~
