剑9T3 考官范文精析(开头段)
审题:这道题更适合选择某一方观点来作为自己的观点,因为题干中的两个观点互斥,且出现了the best way这样的绝对词,因此在考场上论述第二个观点更加容易,即改善公众健康的最好方法并不是 增加体育设施,而需要其他措施加以补充。
范文赏析:
A problem of modern societies is thedeclining level of health in the general population, with conflicting views onhow to tackle this worrying trend.
依然是大作文的典型开头,描述general context(公众健康的恶化),接下来通过with介词短语引出双方观点。当然,作者这里并没有在首段提出自己的观点,而是放在了最后,这是个人偏好问题,同学们可以借鉴。
⭕️Conflicting views 互相冲突的观点
这是开头段的常用词汇,我们也可以替换为divergent perspectives,
contrasting stances等表达,比如《经济学人》中有关【收入差距】话题的一个例句:
🌰The debate on income inequality continues to rage, with conflicting views on whether governments should intervene to address the issue orlet market forces take their course.
关于收入不平等的辩论仍在激烈进行,对于政府是应该干预解决这一问题,还是让市场力量自行发挥作用,各方观点相互矛盾。
(大家有没有观察到,我们可以在描述现象后,利用with conflicting views … 来带出双方对立的观点,这个句型很漂亮)
再来看一个剑4-T1阅读文章里的一个句子,也用到了conflicting views这个短语
🌰One encouragement is that the results of similar studies about other environmental issues suggest that older children seem to acquire the ability to appreciate value and evaluate conflicting views.
令人鼓舞的是,关于其他环境问题的类似研究结果表明,年龄较大的孩子似乎获得了欣赏价值和评估冲突观点的能力。
⭕️ Tackle 解决
这是个非常高频使用的词语,可以替换我们同学经常使用的deal with, solve等词汇。比如谈到【人口老龄化】问题,我们可以说:
🌰Governments should take a wide variety of measures to tackle aging populations, ranging from accepting immigrants to raising the retirement age.
政府应该采取各种各样的措施来解决人口老龄化问题,从接受移民到提高退休年龄。
给大家推荐一些其他替换deal with的地道表达
Cope with sth
Grapple with sth
Wrestle with sth
Address sth
Contend with sth
最近在《经济学人》一篇关于中国与世界经济的文章又碰到了wrestle with sth这个短语:
🌰They have wrestled simultaneously with high inflation, which demands steep interestrates, and fears of a recession, which would normally call for policy easing.
他们既要与高通胀搏斗,又要抵抗衰退的风险,前者需要大幅加息,后者却通常要求宽松政策。
Wrestle, grapple 本来指的是搏斗,扭打的意思,与某个困难搏斗,也就是[努力设法解决]某个困难或者问题。比如:
🌰The government is dealing with youth unemployment -> The government is grapplingwith youth unemployment.
我们可以联系ChatGPT造个句子:Educators are grappling with the challenges posed by ChatGPT.
⭕️ Worrying trend令人担忧的趋势
比如外刊中使用了这个短语描述【环境污染】:
🌰There is a worrying trend of increased pollution in major cities around the world.
大家可以把there is a worrying trend作为一个句型来记下来,用来引出一个现象或者趋势,例如在描述【社交媒体】对人们的影响这个话题时,我们可以说:
🌰There is a worrying trend of people relying too heavily on social media for validation and self-worth.
当然,原文里用的时tackle this worrying trend,在这里也可以替换成reverse,表示扭转。
