13、he writing topic and task)观点的表明主要存在于开头段和结尾段。开头段阐明观点，结尾段则是重述观点。开头段的观点一定要鲜明，结尾与开头的观点必须一致。2) 论证充分：(well organized and well developed)进行论证的时候避免假大空，要具体、明确，且对论点有支持作用，不能空洞和泛泛而谈。论述的时候列举的例子越详细，清晰，合适，分数就越高。3) 结构顺畅：(uses specific details and examples to support you view)所写句子之间需要有衔接和过渡，才能使结构顺畅有逻辑，这不仅体现在过渡词，还有过渡

14、句。这绝对不仅仅体现在每一个段落的开始要使用一些类似于first，second, third这样的词汇等等。过渡还体现在句语句之间，甚至句子当中也需要过渡词来体现句子的层次，使得逻辑条理清楚，发展充分。4) 词法句法：(displays language facility by demonstrating syntactic variety, word choice and idiom)词汇语法水平高的文章不一定是高分文章，但是高分文章一定是词汇语法水平高的文章。所以毫无疑问词汇和语法在整个文章中占有着很重要的地位。用词要准确精当，多样化；同时语法句式也要多样化，例如使用定语从句、名词性从句、

Typically, an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Classmates have more

16、influence on a childs success at school than parents do.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Step 1: Analysis（审题） 审题关系到整个思路的确定，可操作的方法是：阅读题目主题，把握题目主旨，抓住核心词，明确写作类型，有没有绝对性的词汇（only、never、all等），有没有题目限定条件，题目有几个层次，涉及到几个方面的内容，迅速进行拆分，转变为自己可以把握的有足够细节和例证的结构。 一般来讲，独立写作分为三个类型：（1）agree or disa

17、gree同意或不同意; （2）preference偏好类；（3）giving an explanation /making an argument描述解释类。本题属于agree or disagree（同意不同意），关键词为：Classmates have more influence on a childs success at school than parents do.题目意思是对于孩子在学校的成功，同学要比家长的影响大。那么审题时就要注意自己同意或者倾向于哪种立场。Step 2：Plan（构思） 在构思过程中，我们不妨先将中文的思路和框架整理出来，然后再转换为英文写作思路。在对题目进

18、行分析之后要给出自己的立场和观点。中文思路为：观点：同意孩子在学校和同学们待的时间更多。有更多共同的兴趣爱好和价值观。通过和同学们的合作或竞争发展自我。观点：不同意家长能够给予孩子更多的精神和经济支持。家长能给予孩子更多有经验的建议和指导。家长对孩子的影响是长期而深远的。英文思路为：Agree opinionDisagree Classmates affect a childs success at school more than parents do.A childs success at school depends more on parents than on classmates.

(表明自己的观点，清晰明了，作者认为同学们对于孩子在学校的成功起了更大的作用，引出下文要阐述的段落和内容)开头段的六句话中，作者先陈述了本主题相关的背景，承认家长在孩子成长过程中的重要性，然后举例说明家长在孩子成长过程中重要性体现在哪些方面，支持前面的观点。接着得出结论，家长在孩子的成长和教育方面参与最多。而后言他方观点“家长对于

24、孩子在学校的成功影响最大”。继而提出自己的观点与此不同，清晰而明确的提出自己的观点“同学们对于孩子在学校的成功起了更大的作用”，引出以下主体段中的论据。表明自己的观点立场常用的表达方式有：（1） As far as I am concerned，+立场观点（2） I firmly believe that +立场观点（3） I support the idea that+同位语从句（立场观点）（4） I agree with./ that +同位语从句（立场观点）（5） I am in favor of the idea of v-ing/ the idea that +同位语从句（立场观点）

25、（6） I object to the notion that +同位语从句（立场观点）（7） I dont think it is+adj. +to do sth/（8） Personally speaking, +立场观点（9） 2） body（主体段）：一般来讲，主体段可分三段进行论述，可以是一个观点或者立场的三个方面，也可以是将正反二方的理由分散在这三段中写。要根据自己所持有的观点选择适合的段落布局方式一边倒式，让步式或者折中式。而主体段中的三个段落采用“论点+论证+论据”，具体说也就是主题句+说理论证+细节例子。段落一边倒式让步式折中式A段观点观点观点B段理由1理由1支持理由C段理由

Generally speaking, they have more topics with their friends. （3）paragraph 4 主体段的第三段采用让步承认的方式，承认他方部分观点有可取之处：家长在孩子的成长过程中给予很多的帮助。However, nobody can deny

34、 the fact that parents can also give children many help. Our parents are much more experienced and considerate than our classmates. If children have problems, parents can give them their experience to help them solve problems. If parents have no similar experiences, they still can give their childre

Our parents are much more experienced and considerate than our classmates. 3） conclusion（结尾段）：在结尾段要重申自己的观点，但不是简单重复

36、开头段自己的观点，需要换种表达方式和角度，做一定的修改，升华自己的主题，或者总结自己的理由。Eg. Paragraph 5Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that although parents may affect a childs success in school, we cannot deny the fact that the effect of their classmates is much more momentous and undeniable. （结尾段重申自己的

37、立场和观点，尽管家长会在一定程度上影响孩子在学校的成功，但是同学们的影响作用更大。）4） 文章布局方式：总的来讲，清晰的全文段落布局方式可以是：立场观点理由一主题句+论证+例子理由二主题句+论证+例子理由三/让步理由结论 范文全文：Undoubtedly, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents.

Consequently, numerous people hold the opinion that it is parents that influence the children most on a childs success in school.

42、. So a child is more sentimentally attracted by his classmates activities and behavior.
