傳統(tǒng)紙媒與社交媒體

Today we are going to talk about different sources for acquiring news. In today's discussion, I would like to hear your opinions on which form of news resources is better? Social media or traditional media?

Andrew

Social media is the future because it is convenient and more up to date.

Claire

A lot of people still prefer to rely on television or newspapers because the content from traditional media is more well-produced.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

本場(chǎng)考試的學(xué)術(shù)寫作去年9月21日考過的一個(gè)題目，考察獲取信息來源究竟是傳統(tǒng)媒體還是社交媒體。整體難度不高。支持社交媒體的，我們可以從速度以及自由度來討論，支持傳統(tǒng)紙媒的，我們可以從專業(yè)性以及真實(shí)性角度考慮。下面我們來看一下因?qū)W老師限時(shí)完成的兩方的范文：

支持Claire：

I agree with Claire. First, it's wrong for Andrew to only boast about the merits of social media in interaction. In fact, due to the lack of professionalism and training, streamers or influencers can't offer valuable insights but some personal or radical comments. If you are looking for some objective and reliable content, then surely the user-generated content, like the posts on YouTube, is your last choice. Furthermore, social media doesn't boost your efficiency of obtaining information. Actually, it's highly likely that you have to struggle in the sea of such chaos of information for a long time before you realize that you can gain nothing meaningful but personal feelings and guesstimations, and in some extreme situations, bias and fraud. Still, the traditional media, such as newspapers with their well-trained staff, could guarantee the truthfulness of their news sources. Compared with social media, traditional media channels are still a much safer choice.

支持Andrew：

I prefer social media forms to traditional media. First, the user-generated content could be totally free of back-stage manipulation and corruption as such content is unpredictable. When there are no prepared scenarios or role plays, the content on the spot is certainly more reliable, or at least genuine. Compared with social media, the traditional media is often criticized for their deliberate bias and discrimination. For example, you can hardly imagine that the BBC will report positively about China's foreign polices in East Asia and Europe. Second, social media ushers in a variety of different voices, which makes it possible for users to avoid being swayed by the so-called mainstream media. In fact, overdosed exposure to just one source of media will only lead to brainwash or indifference while a wide range of choices brings more sophisticated and rational insights. Therefore, I believe social media forms prevail over traditional media.

第二套

綜合寫作
主題：prescribed burning是否值得實(shí)施

 閱讀部分：

1. 對(duì)相關(guān)區(qū)域的野生動(dòng)物造成威脅，尤其是筑巢動(dòng)物。

2. 燃燒所釋放的煙霧會(huì)污染空氣。

3. 人工起火燒過的地方仍然有山火發(fā)生。

聽力部分：

1.選好時(shí)機(jī)，找野生動(dòng)物不生育后代的時(shí)期，成熟的動(dòng)物的話可以通過控制火速讓它們輕松避開。

2.森林是吸收二氧化碳的，所以讓火小一點(diǎn)就可以保證沒有空氣污染。

3. 人工起火能把易燃危險(xiǎn)物燒完，因此雖然山火仍會(huì)發(fā)生，但嚴(yán)重程度會(huì)降低。

購物參考渠道討論

Let's continue talking about consumer behavior. We have been discussing different ways people go about choosing what products to buy, and there are many potential sources of information and advice for consumers. In your opinion, which is the better strategy for making purchasing decisions relying on advice from friends and family, or depending on information from online sources? Why?

Claire

An internet search would be much more efficient.

Paul

My friends could have advised me better because they know my preferences and the kind of features that I am interested in. Consumers should get advice from the people around them to find the most suitable products.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

同意Claire：

1. For one thing, the online information is more diverse and therefore more trustworthy. 線上信息更加多樣化。

2. For another, online information performs far better in protecting one’s privacy and secrets. 保護(hù)隱私，如果送人禮物會(huì)更加有驚喜。

同意Paul：

1. Although the best strategy for making purchasing decisions depends on the individual's preferences and needs, I tend to follow the recommendations of friends and family members. The main reason is that purchase advice from loved ones can carry a higher level of credibility.  可性度高。

2. More importantly, if my friends and family members have purchased the product before, their recommendations can be based on first-hand experiences, which surely makes my purchasing decision much wiser and more practical. 家人朋友有一手經(jīng)驗(yàn)，可以給到更加實(shí)際的建議。

主題：Several factors to destroy Roman towns

閱讀部分：

1. Wild birds damage works of art contained within the towns' structures. 鳥類會(huì)破壞古城中藝術(shù)作品。

2. A second problem is damage caused by human tourists. 游客也會(huì)造成破壞。

3. The buildings of Pompeii and Herculaneum have experienced structural failures. 原先古城建筑就經(jīng)歷了結(jié)構(gòu)的問題。

聽力部分：

1. People can train hawks and introduce them to the Pompeii and Herculaneum cities and then pigeons would be afraid of them and fly away. 訓(xùn)練老鷹來嚇走鴿子。

2. There is an affordable way, which means history enthusiasts could be hired to do much volunteer work. 招募?xì)v史愛好者來做保護(hù)。

3. Today’s engineering work can replace low-quality cement support with safer cement support containing new chemical composition. 用新的化學(xué)物質(zhì)代替原先低質(zhì)量的材料。

學(xué)術(shù)討論

是否需要取消短途航班？

We've been discussing environmental policies, and one issue that has gained attention is whether short-haul flights should be banned. Many countries have good train systems that can replace short flights. What do you think? Should short flights be banned when there are other options like trains? Why or why not?

Claire

Short-haul flights should be banned if trains are a good alternative. Train stations are in city centers, so they are often more convenient and better for the environment.

Paul

Banning short-haul flights isn't the best solution. These flights help manage air traffic by connecting passengers to bigger airports.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

同意Claire：應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)其他短途交通方式

I agree with Kelly that it is reasonable to ban short-haul flights. On the environmental front, banning short-haul flights could indeed reduce carbon emissions. Air travel is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and short-haul flights, which are often less efficient than long-haul flights, can have a higher carbon footprint per passenger mile. If trains can provide a comparable service with a lower environmental impact, then from an ecological standpoint, the case for banning these flights is strong. As for Paul's concerns about short-haul flights connecting passengers to larger airports, this function of flights could also be replaced by alternative greener transportation means such as interurban railways or regional buses, which prove to be effective in many major cities such as New York City, London, and Shanghai.

同意Paul：一刀切的禁止不是好主意

On the environmental front, banning short-haul flights could indeed reduce carbon emissions; however, I agree with Paul on that a complete ban on short-haul flights might not be the most practical or effective solution. For one thing, many regions may lack the railway infrastructure to support all short trips. The effectiveness of train systems as a replacement for flights depends on their capacity, frequency, and coverage. In many areas, train services may not be as frequent or convenient as air travel, which could discourage travelers from switching to trains. Moreover, while trains can be a more environmentally friendly option, they may not always be the cheaper alternative. This could also deter airline customers from making the switch. In light of these considerations, a more balanced approach which involves providing incentives for travelers to choose trains and encouraging the development of more fuel-efficient aircraft will be more reasonable than simply banning short-haul flights. 

2.Speaking

第一套

Task 1

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is disrespectful for tourists to take photos of strangers without their permission.

Use details and examples to support your opinion.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

這道題是關(guān)于日常生活當(dāng)中的一個(gè)具體場(chǎng)景，注意要把題目規(guī)定的每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都考慮進(jìn)去。

范文：

Personally, I think it's absolutely disrespectful to photograph strangers without asking. Here's why: First, privacy matters, and photographing someone without consent violates their right to control their own image. Imagine someone snapping a photo of us in a vulnerable moment—like when we're upset or working—and posting it online without consent. It can be very invasive. Second, with social media, images can circulate globally without our knowledge. This could harm others' reputation or safety. We never know who is looking at these pictures and what dangerous things may occur if they are in the wrong hands. Therefore, while taking pictures connects people, it is important for us to ask for permission first.

Task 2
Student Concerts Online

Task 3
Misinformation Effect

Task 4
Nocturnal anthesis

第二套

Task 1
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching sports programs on television is not a good use of time.

Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

這道題討論的是體育和休閑方式，可以從自身出發(fā)選擇。

范文：

I don't agree with this argument because to me, watching sports on TV brings me happiness and enriches my life. Most importantly, these games connect me to others. Many large sports events, like the FIFA World Cup or the Olympics, are a common interest of a large number of groups. Families and friends often gather to watch games, creating shared memories and strengthening relationships. Also, sports serve as a stress-reliever. Cheering for a team can boost mood and provide a sense of belonging. It's true that it will be more enjoyable if everyone can watch live games, but that's just not possible. In this case, watching TV sports games serves as a convenient and accessible way for people to enjoy the charm of professional sports.

Task 2
Company-Site Visits

Task 3
Vegetative Propagation

Task 4
How the design of tall buildings has changed over time

第三套

Task 1
Some students choose to enter university immediately after finishing high school. Others prefer to take time off before beginning their university classes. Which option do you think is better? Explain why.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評(píng)

這道題是在口語寫作中都很喜歡被考官拿出來討論的gap year的問題，這個(gè)選擇可以因人而異，根據(jù)自己的喜好選擇即可。

范文：

Personally, I will choose to take a year off before embarking on university if conditions allow. First, a gap year will allow me to explore interests or careers before committing to a major. For instance, I'm interested in computer science, but I'm not sure  computer programmer is the right career for me. I could use the year interning at a tech startup to figure out if coding or other responsibilities for that job is something I really enjoy. And also, I can try out several other interns and part-time jobs to compare. I think after a year of exploration, I will be able to have a more focused university experience.
