Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.
提纲:
1。部分同意
2。丑闻的确可以吸引注意力并使我们知道更多的问题
3。丑闻有时候过分吸引注意力,反而使得人们忽略了更重要的问题;并且丑闻使得人们对社会的信任下降
4。鉴于丑闻的两面性,对于丑闻的利用要慎重
5。总结
Scandals are usually linked with such ugly words as "bribe", "corruption" and even "sex-batter". This strong impression would probably be altered to some extent since scandals are now claimed useful by some voices. In terms of my point of view, I do partly agree with this justification that scandals function in calling for the public's attention in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could. Besides the realization of their active impact, it could not be ignored either that they may make a sense even worse in some cases.
Primarily, scandals do serve to appeal (appeal 作动词使好像没有吸引的意思吧,是否应该改成appeal to 呢?) the mass, by doing which they succeed in focusing people's attention on problems whether in politics, academic, or other areas. On the one hand, concerning that people always have a psychology (curiosity)(to be interest) in everything happening (taken place) around the famous(public figures), scandals, as closet(这个词用得不对吧) affairs revealing not only the luminaries' underground characteristics but also the inside stories of significant matters, are a potent instrument to catch(吸引要好些吧)people's eyes. So it is easy to explain why the Whitehouse web site received more than 1,000,000 clicks after the public procurator had publicized his report of the Zippergate Sandal involving the pro-president Bill Clinton. On the other hand, scandals are significant social events which may be relative to the people' own profits, because of which(due to which), people are more likely to eye(??) the scandals voluntarily. Compared with a speaker or reformer, who would only face to limited numbers of audiences even with the help of modern tools, such as TV and radio programs, and could appeals only those taking his/her side, scandals are so distinctive that they can reach the point to cause people to be motivated by their own desire. As an illustration, the Canadian Blood Bank Scandal, (which was) revealed in 2002, render(ed) thousands of Canadians contracted (infected) (AIDS)(具体说是HIV而不是AIDS) by blood transfusion. Heath is the most valuable asset one owns so can he/she keep such a scandal out of his/her sight(这句什么意思?)? Furthermore, due to the fact that scandals usually discover the insides unknown to the public before, they are more eligible to inform the public some real situations which are recklessly(hasty) neglected by or intentionally concealed to the public, and then arise up a wide-extent attention to the matter reflected in them. In brief, scandals do make a sense in invoking people to care for the problems.
However, the adverse effect of scandals should not slip out of one’s mind, that they may sometimes detract people from more profound and important problems (affairs), especially those happening all but concurrently and scandals may also lead a pessimistic attitude of people and a latent panic to the society. Firstly, the inborn feature of scandals to catch people’s attention would ensure them a central point in people’s consideration, which might cause (lead to) a severe result that rare(这个词用得不对吧?) interest is shown in some other meaningful events. That is somewhat like that when a player had entangled in excitant scandal, nobody would care how the other 21 players acted on the soccer court(什么意思?). What is more, scandals are vehicles (media)and embodiments of lies and lusts, which are both aspects of mean humanity. So what the information people received from them is nothing but a deep disappointment and a bad impression of the “foul” world full of scandals. Gloomy mood are spread by the influence of increasing number of scandals, as a result people would perhaps less believe in the society and even not any longer. Scandals but offers a description of the situation, however, they fail to help people surmount the trouble.
Consequently, scandals should be treated as not only useful but also harmful (两个形容词后应该加个宾语吧?). Those advocating the goodness scandals bring about should not evade the shortcomings(弊端) of scandals. It also should be taken into a well-round consideration to utilize scandals in helping focus people’s attention on the problems of society or other realms, especially in combating with the political adversaries, as is a much more abased way that could make sense even worse. However, scandals should be sought by the media to some extent, not on the purpose to meet the mass’s curiosity, but to arouse a public awakening(awareness) of some critical problems and pay back people the rights of knowing the facts(这句读起来挺别扭,最好再想一下).
In sum, surely scandals sometimes dwarf a speaker or reformer in calling for public attention and making people focus on the problems involved in the sandals, but they do have some fallacies which are prone to(这几个词用在这儿没必要把) cause severe results. So it would be inevitably impartial to merely emphasize the scandals’ active effect and likewise, their fallacies should not be overestimated either.(759words)
很佩服搂主的词语运用能力,想起自己的作文,觉得词语都用得很简单,缺少变化,而且GRE词汇用得很少.
在这儿想问一下,ETS对于词汇的要求到底有多高呢?
用简单的词汇不会得很低的分数? |
