题目分析 ① contend=argue=claim=insist=assert 认为 ② 这道题目是典型的Argumentation的文章。显然广告的好处比坏处多,所以全文采用四段折中式,第一段写背景,第二段写广告的好处三点,第三段写让步段广告的坏处两点,结尾段总结。
开头段四句
Advertising are playing increasingly important roles in the contemporary society and vast billboards, TV commercials and flyers are all exerting profound impact on modern life. In the meantime, whether advertising is a blessing or a curse has sparked spirited debate. Some people argue that advertising has fundamentally beneficial influence on our lives while many others contend that it has detrimental effect as well. Personally, I am in favor of the former view.

第二段1+6句,写自己倾向的观点(广告的好处)
Convincing arguments can be made that advertising brings numerous benefits to our lives. To start with, advertisements inform us about the latest products on the market. Therefore, with the help of ads, customers can make their shopping experience more economical and less time-consuming. Moreover elaborate advertisements can be a genuine art form. Specifically, instead of wasting our time, creative ads can afford us diverse amusements, thereby brightening up our lives. Lastly, some advertising in the media can motivate people to contribute to charities. In other words, I would be hard-pressed to imagine how charities can get enough funds without the help of non-profit ads.

第三段1+4句,让步段(写广告的坏处)
Admittedly, advertising may carry potential drawbacks. The reason for this is that today a large proportion of advertisements is misleading. Obviously, the huge profits generated by the sheer power of advertising have prompted many companies to present incorrect information about their products. Even so, it is worth nothing that most governments have been taking stringent steps to combat misinformation in advertising. For instance, in China this year, over 350 false advertisements were identified and exposed and their sponsor

companies were punished accordingly on March 15th, the International Consumer Rights Day.

结尾段3句
In summary, I would concede that the proliferation of the advertising industry is not without its adverse effects. Despite that, the benefits created by advertising far outweigh the disadvantages. Overall, I am convinced that we should further promote the development of advertising and meanwhile the government should introduce measures to regulate this industry more effectively.

Some people think children who grow up in poor families can deal with problems more effectively in their adult years than children who are raised in rich families. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
题目分析
这篇文章用四段折中式,对模板做了些替换。因为原题里只有一种观点,所以开头段的最后一句没有用former/latter的那个模板,而是选择了开头段最后一句模板的三种情况里的第三种,提出自己不太赞成这种观点。
In present-day society, it is generally recognised that family backgrounds play a key role in our lives. But at the same time, controversy has arisen about whether children who are raised in impoverished families are better able to solve problems when they become adults. Some people assert that they can generally tackle problems more effectively. Speaking for myself, I believe their view is somewhat overly simplistic.
It is evident that in terms of the children’s physical and psychological development, growing up in rich families may create numerous benefits. For one thing, wealthy parents can afford their children more entertainment and pleasure. For instance, going to concerts, singing karaoke and even traveling in foreign countries help rich kids to relax their minds and bodies, which decreases the rate of children’s psychological illnesses. Furthermore,
Task2—Argumentation
generally speaking, kids in rich families are healthier than their poor counterparts. Obviously, they can enjoy better food and healthcare while the impoverished kids have to live on a very tight budget. Above all, wealthy parents have the financial resources to offer their offspring better education. Specifically, wealthy kids can take piano, painting or foreign language lessons after school, which greatly broadens their horizons.
On the other hand, I admit that growing up in a poor family may help cultivate some crucial abilities as well. An argument that can be made in favor of this is that many children who grow up in impoverished families have to do part-time jobs to help their parents financially. Clearly, that forces those adolescents to adapt to their environment more quickly than rich kids. Even so, it is worth nothing that the shortage of cash and other resources often makes such children live a stressful life. As a result, some of them may end up being overly sensitive or having low self-worth.
To conclude, I would say that poor children may have some advantages in dealing with problems when they grow up. Still, I firmly believe that being rich helps children to avoid many physical and psychological conditions, and gives them better opportunities to learn knowledge. Therefore, parents should try their best to keep their family financially safe and stable.

Some people think the media should stop reporting details of crimes to the public while others think such reports also have their advantages. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
题目分析
本文选择四段折中式倾向前者的观点,即报道犯罪会有好处但是过多的细节会带来更多的问题。本文也对模板进行了替换。
Nowadays, it is universally accepted that the issue of crimes is increasingly serious. But at the same time, controversy has arisen over whether the media should report the details of crimes. Some people assert that the media coverage of crime details should be banned while others claim that such reports have their own advantages. As far as I am concerned, I would side with the former group.
On the one hand, we should acknowledge that reports of criminal details may carry great risks. In the first place, they render many citizens afraid of crimes and worried about their own safety. Obviously, a lot of city residents will fear that the same crimes will happen to them, which can even lead to serious
Task2—Argumentation
psychological problems. Furthermore, media reports of criminal details are unfair for the victims of crimes. The victims who have suffered greatly from these crimes would feel they were forced to experience a nightmare again. Above all, potential criminals can learn from such reported details to avoid mistakes, which may add to the difficulty the police have in capturing criminals. It is arguable that detailed media reports of crimes are a serious threat to societal safety and there is a definite link between the widespread reports of crimes and the rise of the crime rate.
On the other hand, media reports of criminal details may carry certain benefits. The fundamental reason for this is that such reports keep the public alert to crimes. Should all these reports disappear from the media, it would be very hard for the public to know about the crimes occurring in society. Even so, it can be noted that the news of crimes spread by the media is often exaggerated. Therefore, the public may have a hard time deciding how dependable an alarming crime report would be.
To conclude, although detailed reports of crimes may have their own advantages, I firmly believe that they bring us great risks. Therefore, we should encourage the media to inform the public about the criminal acts, but not in great detail.
