什么样的文章适合写成变量型
?


例：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Life
today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your
grandparents were children.


Structure


Due to the progress of technology, many things in daily life are
much easier and more convenient than in the past.


However, progress does not only make our life easier, and it also
makes surviving harder in many ways.


段落扩展示例



However, progress does not only make our life easier, and it also
makes surviving harder in many cases.


Explanation


Examples and/or details


Explanation: Advanced technology allows people to live longer, so
that an increasing population consumes the limited natural resources on
this planet.


Examples and details: This gives raise to many problems like
starvation, unemployment, and even wars for resources like water and
petroleum. The recent wars in our world had many things to do with such
resources and wars take away people
’
s lives and destroy happiness and
hope. (To be continued)


Examples and details: Unfortunately, since our technology is not
advanced enough to create resources, such conflicts are unlikely to be
finished and they may become more serious in the future. Also, the
increasing population makes our cities much more crowded than in the
past, and graduates from colleges and universities have slimmer changes
to get good jobs as well because there are too many of them but so
limited positions. Such problems are all created by technological
progress and people in the past did not need to face them at all.


真题解析



Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A job with a
high salary but little vacation time is better than a job with a low salary
but much vacation time.


Structure


Most young people and middle-aged people care much more about
how much they earn than about the leisure time.


For aged people, the main purpose to have jobs is no longer to make
money, and they may need more vacation time instead of higher salaries.


Paragraph Developing


Topic sentence: Young people are willing to sacrifice some or even
all of their leisure time for more money because that they all wish to live
a vivid life.


Sub point 1: desire for money


Sub point 2: sacrifice vacation time


Sub point 1: For most young people, money is needed everywhere.
Boys are fascinated with the latest digital products and even
automobiles, and girls are addicted to fashionable clothes and makeups.
Plus, they hang out with friends and have dinners with people at work
frequently. That requires much expense as well. Without money, young
people are unlikely to feel happy and satisfied.


Sub point 2: As for vacation time, young people really do not care
about it very much, for they have many other choices to get relaxed or to
have fun. They can get over and feel energetic again by having a good
sleep at night, and they can watch movies or go shopping or play video
games with friends after work.


Conclusion: That is why what they expect the most from their jobs is
the income but not vacations.

Overexploitation



A species that faces overexploitation is one that may become severely endangered or even
extinct due to the rate in which the species is being used. Unrestricted whaling during the
20th century is an example of overexploitation, and the whaling industry brought many
species of whales to extremely low population sizes. When several whale species were nearly
extinct, a number of nations (including the United States) agreed to abide by an international
moratorium on whaling. Due to this moratorium, some whale species, such as the grey whale,
have made remarkable comebacks, while others remain threatened or endangered.



Due to the trade in animal parts, many species continue to suffer high rates of exploitation.
Even today, there are demands for items such as rhino horns and tiger bones in several areas
of Asia. It is here that there exists a strong market for traditional medicines made from these
animal parts.



More Factors



Disease, pollution, and limited distribution are more factors that threaten various plant and
animal species. If a species does not have the natural genetic protection against particular
pathogens, an introduced disease can have severe effects on that specie. For example, rabies
and canine distemper viruses are presently destroying carnivore populations in East Africa.
Domestic animals often transmit the diseases that affect wild populations, demonstrating
again how human activities lie at the root of most causes of endangerment. Pollution has
seriously affected multiple terrestrial and aquatic species, and limited distributions are
frequently a consequence of other threats; populations confined to few small areas due to of
habitat loss, for example, may be disastrously affected by random factors.


(T44 travel with a companion or travel alone)

Travel Solo or with a Companion



Whether you should travel alone or with a group primarily depends upon your personality.
I
will briefly describe each option,
listing the pros and cons, to help you decide which travel
style is the best for you.



Traveling Solo



Pros:



Meet and interact with more people

Going where you want to go, when you want to go, with whomever you want to go with

Allows you to find your own travel techniques (as opposed to going with a tour group)

Forces you to assert your independence



Cons:



Traveling alone can be
intimidating
(吓人的
,
令人生畏的
)

Must overcome any shyness you may have in order to meet other people

Deciding where you want to go and what to do once you are there requires more effort on
your part than letting someone else make all or most of the decisions

Forces you to assert your independence (this can be either a pro or a con depending on
whether or not you think being independent is: (1) important and (2) possible for your level
of emotional growth)

FYI:
I traveled solo during my three month trip to Europe and I had an excellent time.
I
wouldn't want to travel any other way.
Keep in mind that this advice is coming from
someone who is relatively shy and had never traveled anywhere alone before going to
Europe.



Traveling with a companion or companions



Pros:



You always have someone to talk to/consult with

You can share food, clothing, toiletries, accommodations, etc. (saving room in your pack and
sometimes money)

You will have someone to share your memories with (and take your picture in front of the
EiffelTower)

You may forge a life long friendship/friendships with your travel companion(s)



Cons:



Being with the same person/people 24/7 can be very annoying (you could lose your
friendship over this)

Depending on someone else can be risky--people can flake out on you (take all your
money,
abandon you, etc.)

Memories of your trip may turn out to be nightmares (constant fighting over where to go and
what to see, etc.)

Traveling as group may make it more difficult to meet other people because groups tend to be
prone to exclusivity and can be intimidating to other travelers




(T45 get up early in the morning and start the day's work, or get up later in the day
and work until late at night)

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
(Aristotle)

Early riser
早起的人



Why get up early?



I’d say the main reason is that you’ll have a lot more time to do things that are mor
e
interesting than sleeping.



Again, I’ve gained about 10
-15 hours per week doing this. That extra time is very noticeable.
By 6:30am, I’ve already exercised, showered, had breakfast, and I’m at my desk ready to go
to work. I can put in a lot of hours each day of productive work, and I
’
m usually done with
work by 5:00 pm (and that includes personal “work” like email, paying bills, picking up
daughter from preschool, etc). This gives me 5-6 hours of discretionary time every evening
for family, leisure activities, Toastmasters, reading, journaling, etc. And best of all, I still have
energy during this time. Having time for everything that’s important to me makes me feel
very balanced, relaxed, and optimistic.



Think about what you could do with that extra time. Even an extra 30 minutes per day is
enough to exercise daily, read a book or two each month, maintain a blog, meditate daily,
cook healthy food, learn a musical instrument, etc. A small amount of extra time each day
adds up to significant amounts over the course of a year. 30 minutes a day is 182.5 hours in
a year. That’s more than a month of working full
-time (40 hours per week). Double it if you
save 60 minutes a day, and triple it if you save 90 minutes a day. For me the savings was
about 90 minutes/
day. That’s like getting a free bonus year every decade. I’m using this time
to do things that I previously didn’t have the time and energy to do. It’s wonderful.

开头可以些：
The funny thing is that people overemphasize which qualities a parent should
have and how to define a good parent; at the same time, however, we overlook the issue of
children, including the good qualities that a son or a daughter should have. In this essay, I will
discuss some of the virtues a child must have.

在大公司工作的好处
: (1)working on a large job; (2)enjoying a good opportunity to learn
constantly(Because the company is so large, I have the opportunity to work on several
different types of projects with different equipment requirements
–
I am constantly learning
on the job.) (3) flexible time scheduling, less gossips, free working environment; (4)
diversity.




(T51 taking risks or chances VS careful planning)

Risk: You may worry about the risks of investing, but the real risk is that you will outlive your
money.



Two kinds of financial risks are:

The risk of losing your money if you act

The risk of losing money if you don't act
