ARGUMENT 181
181. From aletter to the editor of a city newspaper.
"Onerecent research study has indicated that many adolescents need more sleep thanthey are getting, and another study has shown that many high school students inour city are actually dissatisfied with their own academic performance. As away of combating these problems, the high schools in our city should beginclasses at 8:30 A.M.instead of 7:30 A.M.,and end the school day an hour later. This arrangement will give students anextra hour of sleep in the morning, thereby making them more alert and moreproductive. Consequently, the students will perform better on tests and otherassignments, and their academic skills will improve significantly."
The authorof the letter cites one research indicated that adolescents need more hours tosleep, and one study in high school of our city which showed that the studentsare not satisfied with their own academic performance. Hence the editorsuggested delaying one hour to start school and one hour to end. With this newarrangement, the editor claimed that the student will have an extra hour ofsleep, thereby are more productive during their study time. Therefore, the authorasserted the students will performance better on tests and significantlyimproves their academic skills. Carefully examination the supporting evidence,however, reveals that it tends little credible support to the author.
Firstly, accordingto the study, the students are not satisfied with their performance at school,but the author overlooks to provide us information of the students, who thoughtthey could perform better. For example whether they have sufficient hours ofsleep or not, or whether they complain about hours of sleep they have now andwant to have more time for sleeping. Moreover it is also entirely possible thatthey are strict with themselves and eager to make progress everyday. Withoutproviding the sleep information about the students who are not satisfied withthemselves and rolling out other possible reasons why they are not content withtheir performance, the author is hard to convince us.
Secondly, theauthor has confidence that the high school students will have one more hour tosleep by postponing one hour later to get to school. However, one hour’s delayto go to school can not make sure of one hour more sleep to students. Due to thedelay of end time of the school, the time for sleep, perhaps, is postponed aswell. For example, they spend the same time on finishing their assignments andthen go to bed, so they still can not obtain an extra hour of sleep. If theirwaking up time in the morning is significantly influenced by their biologicalclocks, which will be even worse, their sleeping time will be shorted by thenew arrangement. Hence, it is hard for us to accept that with the newarrangement, the students will have an extra hour of sleeping in the morning.
Finally, theauthor could not say that the student will dramatically increase their academicskills, although we conceded that students, with more hours of sleep, are morealert and more productive than before. It is widely known that the academicskills including how to find problems, using what kind of method to analyze andfinally solve the problems. Only more alert and productive is not enough to ensurestudents will improve their academic skills. Without providing that studentswill improve their capacity of finding, analyzing and solving the problems, itcan not convince us that more alert and productive will improve their abilityof academic skills.
In sum, theconclusion reached in this letter is invalid and misleading. To make itlogically acceptable, the author should provide us the evidence that thearrangement ensures one hour more sleeping time indeed. Moreover, the authorshould provide numerical result of the students' performance of academic skillscompared with old time arrangement. In addition, it, in this letter, shouldcontain sleeping information of students who are not pleased with their ownperformance, and the real reason of their discontent. |

The author of the letter cites one research indicated that adolescents need more hours to sleep, and one study in high school of our city which showed that the students are not satisfied with their own academic performance.[建议表达方式改变一下] Hence the editor suggested delaying one hour to start school and one hour to end. With this new arrangement, the editor claimed that the student will have an extra hour of sleep, thereby are more productive during their study time. Therefore, the author asserted the students will performance better on tests and significantly improves their academic skills. Carefully examination the supporting evidence, however, reveals that it tends little credible support to the author.
开头写得很普通,基本是对题目的复述。给你推荐一个个人认为不错的开头方式,仅供参考。

Firstly, according to the study, the students are not satisfied with their performance at school, but the author overlooks to provide us information of the students, who thought they could perform better. For example whether they have sufficient hour’s of sleep or not, or whether they complain about hours of sleep[这是要表达什么?] they have now and want to have more time for sleeping[这里最好是用sleep, for sleeping多是形容一个物体的,比如Only use your bed for sleeping.]. Moreover it is also entirely possible that they are strict with themselves and eager to make progress everyday. Without providing the sleep information about the students who are not satisfied with themselves and rolling out other possible reasons why they are not content with their performance, the author is hard to convince us.
[你看我蓝色标出的两个关于information的内容,这其实是两码事,要一致。
这段来看,你是要表达学生对成绩不满意或许与睡眠不足无关。论述说实话不是太有力,比如两句and前后表达的意思基本一样,这是写作为不是做填空,两边最好突出并列的关系。对于alternative explains的阐述还可以再深入些。
这里其实还有一个重要的前提,作者就认为学生成绩确实不好,而且与睡眠不足有关。你的文章中提到可能是学生对自己要求高,这也就是说未必真的成绩不好。这个点不该忽略。
语言方面还待提高,这是个慢功夫,要先避免中式英语。]
Secondly, the author has confidence that the high school students will have one more hour to sleep by postponing one hour later to get to school. However, one hour’s delay to go to school can not[避免太绝对化的语言] make sure of one hour more sleep to students. Due to the delay of end time of the school, the time for sleep, perhaps, is postponed as well. [这里表达不清楚啊]For example, they spend the same time on finishing their assignments and then go to bed, so they still can not obtain an extra hour of sleep. If their waking up time in the morning is significantly influenced by their biological clocks, which will be even worse, their sleeping time will be shorted by the new arrangement.[表达不清楚] Hence, it is hard for us to accept that with the new arrangement, the students will have an extra hour of sleeping in the morning.
[这段是要说,改变上学的时间未必能延长睡眠。这个攻击点本是没有问题的,但是,论述有些问题。首先是逻辑连词的用的不好,一层层的关系没有体现出来;还有就是表达不清楚,让人不知所云;再者,论据要充实,这种题目的alternative explains要丰富,你想想不能延长睡眠难道只能有做作业这一个原因么?其实,这个原因也不好。这只能说是符合中国基本国情,美国的青少年没这么痛苦吧?你可以考虑下诸如,晚到学校未必晚起床啊,或许起来多玩一会儿,那么上课更累了,从而影响学习。我只是简单举个例子,你还可以多想想。]
Finally, the author could not say that the student will dramatically increase their academic skills, although we conceded that students, with more hours of sleep, are more alert and more productive than before. It is widely known that the academic skills including how to find problems, using what kind of method to analyze and finally solve the problems. Only more alert and productive is not enough to ensure students will improve their academic skills. Without providing that students will improve their capacity of finding, analyzing and solving the problems, it can not convince us that more alert and productive will improve their ability of academic skills.
[这里似乎有些跑题,这个题目的关键还是睡眠对其它方面的影响。你这里单是谈alert and more productive而抛开睡眠是不合适的,有些钻牛角尖的意味。抓住核心问题!]
In sum, the conclusion reached in this letter is invalid and misleading. To make illogically acceptable, the author should provide us the evidence that the arrangement ensures one hour more sleeping time indeed. Moreover, the author should provide numerical result of the students' performance of academic skills compared with old time arrangement. In addition, it, in this letter, should contain sleeping information of students who are not pleased with their own performance, and the real reason of their discontent.
[结尾就不看了哦]
LZ对题目的分析把握还是比较到位的。此题是由两个study结果的结合来产生出作者的猜想,从而引出解决方案。那么你的入手点应该是先把作者认为的两个study的必然联系解除,这点你在第二段做到了,但是要更加有说服力!这样它的前提是攻破了。接着就说它的应对方案的问题,你在这里的论述还要加强!然后就其方案的预期结果来说,它的预期结果是,睡的多了will perform better on tests and other assignments, and their academic skills will improve significantly,那你就说它睡得多也未必能达到这样的效果。
整体看作为新手写得还是蛮不错的,在语言方面要加强,多看看范文,看人家是如何展开论述的。加油! |
