　　Thesis 总论点

　　Refute the three  explanations mentioned in reading passage.

　　Sub-point 1 分论点1

　　Fires frequently happen in their habitats, thus causing  a lot of trees and grass cleaned out. As a result, the tortoises do not have enough  grass to eat.

　　Sub-point2 分论点2

　　This way can bring terrible consequences. The gopher  tortoises might suffer certain disease that can only be treated in the research  center, and also cause negative effect to wild tortoises.

　　Sub-point3 分论点3

　　Tortoises have  homing instinct that leads them to return to their original habitats. In other cases, gopher tortoises will return if they cannot get the places  chosen for them.

　　In their way back, they may come across dangers like busy  roads and even be killed.

　　Sample answer:

　　The reading and listening discuss aboutstrategies to stop the vanishing of gopher

　　tortoises. The reading passage mentionsthree ways to stop the disappearing of gopher

　　tortoises. Whereas, the professortotally refutes the three points presented in the

　　passage.

　　Firstly, the professor rebuts the reading’s idea that bypreserving habitats of palm

　　forests, gopher tortoises can have more food supplies.The professor claims that fires

　　frequently happen in their habitats, thus causinga lot of trees and grass cleaned out.

　　As a result, the tortoises do not have enoughgrass to eat.

　　Secondly, the professor contradicts reading’s secondmethod of raising the gopher

　　tortoises in research center and then releasingthem. The professor mentions that this

　　way can bring terrible consequences. Thegopher tortoises might suffer certain disease

　　that can only be treated in theresearch center, and also cause negative effect to wild

　　tortoises.

　　At last, the passage states that people can protectthem by migrating gopher

　　tortoises to areas suitable but without othertortoises. However, the professor explains

　　that tortoises havehoming instinct that leads them to return to original habitats. In

　　other cases,gopher tortoises will return if they cannot get the places chosen for them.

　　Intheir way back, they may come across dangers like busy roads and even bekilled.

　　独立写作

　　Do you agree or disagree  with the following statement?

　　Getting advice from friends  who are older than you is more valuable than getting that

　　from your peers.

　　事实类&比较对比类

　　写作思路：

　　这是一道老题，重复2014年11月的写作题。

　　题目不难，非常典型的事实类题目，无论是选择agree还是disagree都有理由可以讲。

　　解题方法两种。

　　方式一、找原因

　　若选择agree的同学，需要在文中列出年长的朋友相比同龄朋友的好处：有阅历，有

　　经验，自己经历过所以可以给出更加合理的建议。

　　若选择disagree的同学，就要说明同龄朋友独到的好处了。（详见写作指导）

　　方法二、拆分

　　同学们可以将advice分成生活中的、学习中的、工作中的，从具体的例子中体现。

　　写作指导：

　　Main point: Disagree

　　Reason1. Improper  comparison. 到底是否valuable是因人而异，因情况而定了。直接

　　说getting  advice from older is more valuable than getting from peers 是unrealistic.

　　Reason2. Based on the fact,  来自同龄人的advice    其实会让我们收获更多。Peers跟

　　我们有similar age and  similar experience,来自他们的建议会让我们觉得acceptable

　　and feasible。

　　例 子：学习为例。老师或者家长（注意也是friends）给的建议常常会被我们忽略，觉得他们跟我们的经历不同，他们的经验未必适用于我们。但是如果我们的 同龄朋友最近学习突飞猛进，她给的学习上的advice会让我们觉得如获至宝。所以，来自older  friends的advice因为不常会被我们接受，因此也就没有那么valuable了。

　　Reason3. 让步。很多人会觉得older friends 因为经验丰富，他们经历过，所以他们的advice比较precious,可以帮助我们避免一些不必要的麻烦。但是我们不要忘了，如今的时代真的变化太快 了，择偶标准、求学、找工作、职场规则，每一个领域过一段时间就会有一些变化，所以older friends的建议如果放在他／她的时代是适用的，但是未必一直有用，所以还是同龄人的比较有用。
