考试日期:2016.08.13
类别:社会类-食品
题目
People can eat a wide variety of food that can be grown in other areas. As a result, people eat more food produced in other regions than local food. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.
题目翻译
人们可以吃到各种各样的在其他地方生长的食物。因此,比起本地食物,人们会更偏向于吃外地食物,讨论其利弊。
写作指导
1. 注意时态,不要出现过去时(除非举过去的例子)
2. 必须双边讨论,文章篇幅可以五五开(绝对中立),也可以三七开(利大于弊,或弊大于利)
推荐立场:利大于弊
推荐思路:四段式:开头-Body 1 disadvantages-Body 2 advantages-结尾
Introduction: 背景介绍,引入话题,表达观点
Body 1:
Topic Sentence: 饮食偏好的转移也许会对当地居民的健康造成一定风险
论证:外地食物运输➔食物不新鲜➔防腐剂的使用➔有害物质➔健康风险
Body 2:
Topic Sentence: 但是,总体而言,这样的趋势给个人和社会都带来了更多好处。
论证:
(1)消费者有了更多选择世界各地的食物都可以获得&有些大热的并且对消费者有好处的食物当地没有➔提高生活满意度。
(2)对环境更有益处外地集中规模化生产比当代小规模生产更高效➔高生产率➔降低能源浪费&减少温室气体排放(与生产等量当地食物比),e.g.: 研究表明,即使加上运输过程的环境损耗,规模化生产释放的温室气体更少。
Conclusion: 重申立场,总结观点,做适当展望
