独立写作题目:
Do you agree or disagree with the followin statement?
Students are more influenced by their teachers than by .
高分范文:
In my opinion, students are more influenced by their friends rather than their teachers. Therefore, I disagree with the statement "Students are more influenced by their teachers than by their friends."
I do not disagree with the fact that students get influenced by their teachers, I believe that this "influence" is mostly within the field of academics. In most cases, the only time that students communicate with the teacher is in the school building, in the classroom. Most of the discussions are about topics related to studies. However, students often tend to discuss a variety of topics, such as studies, friends, relationships, and families. Therefore, students are generally influenced more broadly by their friends, while the only influence made by the teachers are mostly academical.
The amount of time spent with the teacher or friend, also effect on how much influence has been made to a person. As mentioned previously, the time that students communicate with the teachers is restricted to school hours. However, students spend or communicate with their friends not only in school but even outside the school campus and school hours. Especially with the emerging technology, and the development of mobile phones and the internet, students are now able to communicate with their friends at any time where ever they are. Since the amount of time spent communicating with their friends are much larger than the time spent with the teachers, there are more chance of the students being influenced by their friends rather than their teachers.
Also, it is normal that the students feel psychologically more attached to the people in their age group, especially with their friends. The teachers are usually from different generations from the students and this may cause the students to feel that there is a distance between how they think/feel and how the teachers think/feel. Since the students are more emotionally and psychologically attached to their friends, they feel more comfortable to discuss their issues with them and accept their responses more openly and easily. This fact relates directly to how much they are influenced by their friends.
For these reasons, I believe that students are more influenced by their friends than by their teachers.

官方评语:
“This essay earns a high score. It does an excellent job in terms of topic development and organization.” 这篇文章得了高分,它在文段展开和结构方面做的非常优秀。
具体分析:
这道题是一个包含对比的现象题型。文章是典型的5段式,开头段+主体段*3+结尾段。作者找了3个对比点,从“影响的领域”“在一起的时间” 和“心理倾向”,在每一段就进行了"老师"和"朋友"的对比。 每个主体段都用到了不同的逻辑展开的方式。
一. 开头段:
In my opinion, students are more influenced by their friends rather than their teachers. Therefore, I disagree with the statement 'Students are more influenced by their teachers than by their friends'.
很简单,很直接地陈述作者自己的观点。并不影响得分。为写开头段苦恼的同学,完全可以模仿这种写法。
二. 主体段①:让步反段
I do not disagree with the fact that students get influenced by their teachers, however, I believe that this "influence" is mostly within the field of academics.

先承认学生确实会被老师影响。但主要是在”academics“ 学术领域。简单展开后和朋友对比。在此之外学生们更愿意跟朋友谈论更多样的话题。 |
