第一套

To truly understand a country, it is necessary to learn one of its major languages. 

老师解析：这道题采用赞成的立场比较容易展开，语言的功能的层面上，语言可以让人们读到那个国家的original version 而不是translated version 的书籍，对于理解underlying 和更profound 的文化特点更有帮助。

举例说明：Mark Twain 的文学作品reflect comprehensively 他的时代特点，也就是那个国家在特定时代的发展历程historical development，为我们理解这个国家奠定基础。

推荐短语:  be the vehicle of 。。。的载体 ；linguistic features 语言特征。

推荐句型：Only through reading the most authentic original version of the book could we gain the insight into the culture of that country

第二套

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should give their children money as a reward for doing well in school. Use details and examples to explain your answer。

老师解析： 这个题目写反对会合乎常理一点，因为就像家长成为breadwinner是他们基本responsibility 一样，学生学习也是自己基本的duty，金钱奖励也许有encouraging effect 但是会误导学生，让学生总是associate report card with money，这样价值观会be distorted。

这里对比法引入reward 的方式很多而且很有用，比如reward children with a trip to a dreaming place，这样孩子可以broaden their scope，甚至可以学习语言acquire language，例如还可以用verbal encouragement  or non-verbal encouragement，like a hug ，对于孩子来说都很有用。

推荐句型：虚拟语气If children were used to being always rewarded with money ，they would form the value of worshiping materialism

第三套

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students should always be allowed to make video recordings of their professor’s lecture。

老师解析： 这个题目常理来看说不能更好，因为首先涉及到professor个人的intellectual property的问题，这个是收到legal protection的，任何人都不可以violate the law

同时也是对professor 的academic achievement的基本尊重，所以是否可以录制应该是be based upon personal permission，而不是一定的

同时这个坏处很明显，很多学生借于可以重新再看recordings 的机会就上课不够attentive，甚至完全absent-minded，所以的话就会形成vicious circle， 学生学习成绩也会下降

推荐句型：强调句  It is the professor‘s personal permission that determiners whether the recordings should be made

第四套

Which do you prefer, the work with high salary but requires you to work in extra time or the work with low salary but you can enjoy your free time after work。

老师解析： 很多同学赞成第一个点因为无论是什么样的工作首先都是可以有休息时间的，所以如果有更多的wage and allowance，or bonus，大家就可以实现很多事项

例如 realize the dream of visiting a faraway destination，purchase a precious present for friends，learn a costly course from a renowned expert，而且工作经验的丰富度可以让个人be more likely to get promotion 和win more recognition

利用对比法答题：虽然有更多时间了，就可能浪费掉时间idle away 时间

推荐句型：让步状语从句 No matter how much time we spend in working ，we always have some time to have a break

第五套

Children should listen to or read news at an early age. Do you agree or disagree with such a statement? Give your specific explanation in your response。

老师解析：个人会倾向于不赞成这个观点的，educators 指出儿童发展中主要task 是发展physical health，要读懂新闻，花费精力在认字和阅读上很多会hinder children from developing their body by using their limited energy

同时的话现在新闻主要是从各种digital device上面获取，上面有很多儿童不适合的信息，这些信息不利于儿童发展良好的mental health

例如会有一些bloody scene，violent behavior等等horrifying pictures

推荐句型：条件状语从句 As long as children are exposed to violent behaviors，they are likely to imitate and be affected adversely
