Society benefits more from works of great artists than from political leaders. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? 对比政治领袖,艺术家的工作可以使社会更加受益,是否认同? (2013年9月28日北美)

【头脑风暴导言】

在美国历史上,林肯为最伟大的总统之一,他领导了对南方奴隶制度的战争,颁布了《解放黑奴宣言》,维护了联邦统一,为美国在19世纪后期跃居世界头号工业强国开辟了道路,使美国进入了经济发展的黄金时代,被称为“伟大的解放者”。其在逆境中不屈不挠,带领着民族向恢复国家统一和黑奴解放的伟大目标前进,因此,优秀政治领袖的贡献,是文体精英,艺术家无法比拟的。

让步段:

但是,我不得不承认的是:艺术家的辛苦努力,对于社会也是有价值的。其努力有助于各类艺术的健康发展和繁荣。艺术可以成为一个民族的信仰,增强民族凝集力和自豪感。另外,艺术家的成功带来大量的艺术馆以及美术馆的建设,这些使人们的休闲生活更加多元化,给人们的生活增添更多的情趣。

  托福写作语料库:个人衣装是否可以反映其个性

【观点类】个人衣装是否可以反映其个性

Do you agree or disagree with the way a person dressed is a good indication of his/her personality or character? 一个人衣装可以反映其个性,是否认同?(2013年6月15日)

【头脑风暴】

杨澜说:“作为女人,你必须精致。这是女人的尊严。” 是的,没有人有义务必须透过连你自己都毫不在意的邋遢外表去发现你优秀的内在,可见服饰对个人的意义。你,能够给他人留下第一印象的机会只有一次,第一印象永远在那里。然而,成大事不拘小节。“静水流深”说的是“人不可以貌相。”一个人的美丽外表固然重要,但其内在才华、气质和品格不是可以一眼洞察的,要日久见人心。

【作家立场】

不能简单认为一个人的服装可以完全反映其个性。第一印象有时是有误导性的, 经过长期的观察去判断一个人才是值得推荐的。

【思路拓展】

① 激情性格的人喜欢穿时尚艳丽的服装,然而,安静性格的人喜欢穿朴素浅色的服装。人们通常认为衣装整洁者是值得尊敬和彬彬有礼的。

②人不可以貌相,很多穿着职业装的人却有截然不同的个性。贫困者可能消费不起高档服饰,但是,这不会影响他是一个善良的人。

③大部分的影星在公众眼中可能看起来都是激情四射和热情洋溢的,但是,他们中很多人却是性格内敛,喜欢安静的生活。

【文章布局】

首段:背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场

二段:让步原题观点的合理性

三段:第一次反驳原题观点 + 细节展开

四段:第二次反驳原题观点 + 细节展开

尾段:再次亮明观点 + (总结理由)

【范文赏析】

【首段】争议焦点+ 争议焦点 + 作家立场

Fine feather makes fine birds,which means that a well-dressed people never fails to leave the fondest impression on people around him or her. Some people assert that a person’s personality can be indicated by how he or she dresses. Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate as to whether or not a person’s character could be perfectly reflected by his or her appearance. As I see it, even though what one wears can convey some information about his or her character, a man must not be judged by his appearance.

【解析】

1. Fine feather makes fine birds. 人靠衣装,美靠靓装。

2. Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate as to whether or not …… 也许没有什么像 …… 一样引起人们无休止的争议

3. As I see it, even though what one wears can convey some information about his or her character, a man must not be judged by his appearance. 我认为,即使人的衣装可以传递一些关于其个性的信息,但是,人不可以貌相。

【二段】让步段:衣装确实可以在一定程度上反映人的个性

Indeed, I have to concede that a neat appearance is an embodiment of a person’s qualities and personalities. For example, a passionate person tends to wear trendy and bright-colored clothes. Conversely, a quiet person likes to wear simple and light-colored clothes. Another positive aspect is that a well-dressed person is, in most cases, a respectable and well-mannered person,then,it will make people around him feel at ease, therefore, he is,in most people’s eyes,easy to associate and communicate with.

【解析】

1. Indeed, I have to concede that …… 的确,我不能不承认的是……

2. A passionate person tends to wear trendy and bright-colored clothes 激情性格的人喜欢穿时尚艳丽的服装。

3. A quiet person likes to wear simple and light-colored clothes. 安静性格的人喜欢穿朴素浅色的服装。

4. A well-dressed person is, in most cases, a respectable and well-mannered person 人们通常认为衣装整洁者是值得尊敬和彬彬有礼的。

5. is easy to associate and communicate with v 很容易和其交流和交往

【三段】反驳段:为何衣装不能反映人的个性

Notwithstanding all that, we have to remember the old saying that we can never judge a book by its cover, so does the person. Some people have to dress the uniform when they embark on work, in this case, it seems that they look like conservative individuals, whereas they have distinct personalities, some are extraverted while others are introverted. Moreover, a person who is impoverished may fail to afford up-market clothes with his limited money, but it doesn’t mean that he is not a benevolent person. More precisely, he may be more humane and tender-hearted than a gentleman who looks graceful.

【解析】

1. We can never judge a book by its cover. 人不可以貌相

2. Whereas they have distinct personalities. 然而,他们拥有截然不同的个性。

3. up-market clothes n高档的服装

4. A person who is impoverished may fail to afford up-market clothes with his limited money, but it doesn’t mean that he is not a benevolent person. 贫困者可能消费不起高档服饰,但是,这不会影响他是一个善良的人。

5. He may be more humane and tender-hearted than a gentleman who looks graceful. 他也许比看起来优雅的绅士更加仁慈和善良。

【四段】反驳段:为何衣着不能反映人的个性

Another convincing argument could also be easily explored. Most superstars seem to be very passionate and enthusiastic when they are presenting a performance in public, virtually, they are not all that kind of people. Some of them actually are quiet people who love to be in a silent atmosphere and live a simple life. So, appearance of a person cannot always indicate his or her personality.

【解析】

1. Most superstars seem to be very passionate and enthusiastic. 大部分的影星看起来都是激情四射和热情洋溢的。

2. The appearance of a person cannot always indicate his or her personality. 个人的外表并非总能反映其性格。

【尾段】总结立场

In the final analysis, my stand is that a person’s personality cannot be merely judged by his or her outlooks. The initial impression sometimes might be misleading, it is highly recommended to judge a person after long period of observation.

【解析】

1. The initial impression sometimes might be misleading. 第一印象有时候是有误导性的。

2. It is highly recommended to judge a person after long period of observation. 经过长期的观察去判断一个人才是值得推荐的。

  托福写作语料库:领导力为天生还是后天培养

【观点类】

Talented people’s leadership is born naturally and can’t be learned by people. 领导力为天生,不可后天培养,是否认同? (2012年2月11日)

【关键词汇解读】领导力的内涵可以指前瞻性,危机处理能力,自我决策能力,良好的口才,以身作则等等。

【作家立场】领导力非天生,而是可以被培养的。

【头脑风暴导言】

要在战斗中学会战斗。企业家要在实际经营企业的过程中学习和积累领导力。竞技体育的魅力在于团队和合作,而非个人的强大,所以团队领袖理应以身作则,激励队友,起到标杆的作用。而团队的成败,更多情况下,在于领导者的个人魅力和能力。

【例证拓展】

以文体明星为例,小皇帝勒布朗,在初入NBA的时候,表现出惊人的篮球天赋,但是依赖其个人力量,无法带领团队走向胜利,所以他在成长中不断学习做领袖,其领导力是在和队友的磨合中逐渐地积累和体现的。在总决赛中,主力队员受伤退赛,其个人力量无法带来团队走向胜利,他必须要以身作则,激励和信任队友,在队友史密斯多次远投不中的情况下,依然对媒体宣称,史密斯可以投篮100次,这极大地激励了队友的信心,鼓励史密斯在后面的比赛中,表现突出,这就是领导力的体现——激励队友,信任队友,依赖团队的力量。

【例证拓展】

以企业经营为例:生活的中的例证很多,很多成功的企业家在大学校园期间都有做社团领袖的经历,这些做队长的经历帮助他们训练了危机处理,人际沟通,自我决策的能力,为后来的创业和拓展事业打下了坚实的基础。这个争议使我想起了长春新东方的校长刘畅,他在26岁的时候竞聘成为校长,创造长春新东方业绩的辉煌,其在大学时代做社团领袖的经历对其事业的成功是有不可替代的影响的。

【新东方网薛鹏思路拓展】

领导力为何非天生:

1. 教育应该基于一种理念,任何人无论其天赋如何,都可以经过后天的努力以及优秀的指导学习到各种技能,当然,这种技能也包括了领导能力。

2. 毛主席说:要在战斗中学会战斗。因此,实践对于人的能力的培养起到关键作用,生活的例证很多,例如,很多企业精英都有在校园期间做社团领袖的经历。

领导力为何不可后天培养:

天才不可教,因为人的基因不同,天赋是有差异的,后天的发展也有差异。所谓:三岁看老,很多人从小就表现出天生的非凡领导能力,这种天赋在成长被不断开发,最终,他们成为具有超强的领导力的人。相反,很多没有领导天赋的人,无论后天多么努力,也无法做卓越领袖。

8. From our real life, it is easy to find plenty of evidence to support the view that many successful business leaders climbed the promotional and financial ladder from the bottom by constantly learning how to be good leaders. 生活中可以找到很多的例证,许多的成功的企业领袖,不断学习如何做领袖, 从底层奋斗,攀升事业和财富的阶梯。
