49) Claim: We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from those whose views contradict our own.
Reason: Disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.


The statement advocates that higher learning efficiency lies in situations when people's views are alike, claiming that we can learn more from people in the same pool than those who contradict us. I concede that the reason is understandable in regarding undue discord as a deterrence for learning. However, aside from the foregoing scenario, assorted voices, abounded in any learning environment, can be of high value thus be worth noticing by us.

advocate和claim前面的主语通常是人 可以说 the author of the statement …

higher learning efficiency lies-> learning efficiency is higher

in the same pool (?)

assorted voices (?)

thus be worth 语法


Hardly could we expect an one-hundred-percent agreement from everyone on a specific issue. 不论如何，在一个自由民主的学习和讨论的氛围中，异议是一定存在的。压制不同的声音或者勉强趋同是不利于学习的。

你这个句子没有概述全段的主要意思


Learning from those affluently assorted ideas is always helpful. Different opinions would yield more fresh ideas and right decisions compared to similar viewpoints. 在承认异议存在的必然性之后，进一步说明异议存在的必要性。通过不同意见的表达，同学们得以从不同的领域验证一项理论；发现project中存在的问题予 以改进；完善自己的成果等等。通过辩论和头脑风暴等途径，更加强化自己对所学知识的理解。


affluently assorted ？

more fresh ideas and right decisions 这是两个不同的点 你需要解释为什么意见不同会产生新的想法及更有可能make right decision
这两个点是可以成立的 但是你后面的汉语解释并没有解释清楚

you may talk about how people who disagree usually come from different background and look at an issue from different perspectives; as a result, it is possible to find some hybrid solution or interdisciplinary approach which are often more creative

also when people disagree, they will try to defend their own opinions and challenge the people from the other sides; through these debates, they can all examine the issue more thoroughly by reviewing all the evidence; ultimately, they may be more likely to reach a more rational decision





Granted that cooperating with those who are in accord with our view can largely promote efficiency and create a more harmonious atmosphere. Nevertheless, the art of impugning can challange the advocation of abandoning disagreements.反对的艺术：首先要提出自己的出发点是好的并肯定对方；对事不对人；加入客观的证据和数据论证自己的异议；不加个人情感。

或许你可以在这一段重点讲reach more rational decision

请抄原题
lear - learn
你的ts3在TS里没有看到
这道题的结构是 claim+reason 如果你按分领域讨论的话 需要指出在不同的领域 reason是否成立及claim是否成立 而你的ts里没有回应reason
你似乎在ts3里回应了reason 这样做会将claim和reason分割开来 不利于形成一个整合的观点和论证
