练习一
The Importance of Economy
第一段:提出观点段(https://www.daowen.com)
The saying“The love of economy is the root of all virtue.”shows the importance of economy.The truth of it is deep and profound.Indeed,whether in the past or at present,economy is praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.
第二段:论证观点段
There are many reasons supporting this argument.As we know,it was just the virtue of economy that helped our country to get through the difficult periods in the days of founding of the new China.In modern society,though our economic level has been improved greatly,our rapid development to a great extent is at the cost of the overdue consumption of material resources.Besides,our country has a large population base,and our per-capita average of natural resources is low.Therefore,economy is still a necessity to our country.
第三段:总结观点段
We,as college students,should take our responsibility and learn to be economical in our daily life.Indeed,in terms of our clothing,food,sheltering,and transport,much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power,water,coal,gas.What’s more,we should put paper and second-hand textbooks into wise use.In sum,our daily life should be permeated with the sense of economy.Only in this way can we create a conservation-oriented society as soon as possible. 练习二
Internet or Newspapers?
第一段:提出观点段
When it comes to what is the better way to get the daily news,there is no complete agreement among people.Some people take it for granted that internet has become their main source of daily news.However,others maintain that newspapers should be regarded as a better source.
第二段:对比论证段
Those people who hold the first opinion believe internet news can vividly bring dramatic events of singular importance before our eyes.In addition,they can actively search for the information they want.However,still others do not agree this.In their opinions,newspapers have incomparable advantages in terms of convenience.Besides,they argue that the news on newspaper has stronger authority than on the internet.
第三段:总结观点段
Weighing up these two arguments,I prefer to the latter one.For one thing, newspapers can be read at any time in any place.For another,newspaper is so cheap that nearly everyone can afford it.Taking above-mentioned factors into consideration,I may reasonably conclude that newspapers are the better source to know daily news.
