正文：
Perhaps nothing, in terms of sociology, is more controversial than the debate over whether a public official must hold the highest ethical and moral standards so as to be an effective leader. Frankly, many arguers, like the speaker, hold the view that leaders with noble character and lofty sentiment are necessary to be effective. From my view, however, it is not completely true to say that those standards are indispensable to be an impressing and powerful leader.

The primary reason for my propensity is that maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards is visionary and incapable for an effective leader. For the first thing, it is difficult or even impossible to define accurately what highest standards are(due to lack of widely accepted criteria in regard to the trait).Obviously, without an authentic definition, it is impossible to judge whether
an effective leader meet the standards , not to say reach the highest standards. Furthermore, sometimes to be highest ethical and moral standards leaders and effective leaders appear to contradict. Let’s take an extreme case for example that killing for meat is immoral, in point of some highest ethical and moral standards, then should our officials bring out an act prohibiting us from having meat? Undoubtedly, it is ridiculous and fallacious for public official to do this.

Additionally, different situations call for different characteristics. With highest ethical and moral standards, leaders can be effective in certain situations, but not others. Collecting and reporting information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy or competitor, as we all known, has far-reaching influence upon the results of warfare. We have to admit that an effective leader in the war must be adept in spying. However, this is brutal and unacceptable for a person who maintains those standards, that is say, a noble leader cannot be an striking leader.

Granted，a public official must maintain a high ethical and moral standard to make the public believe that he is just the right one to lead them, or he will fall down from where he rose up. The Watergate Case is an illuminating example here. When President Richard Nixon's dishonesty and improper operations in the reelection was revealed to the public, people in this nation doubted if Nixon was still reliable and had the qualification to be the President. At last, Nixon was impeached and became the first one in American history to resign during his term of President

To sum up, the highest ethical and moral standards are not essential for public officials to be effective leaders. And some other traits are also important to be an effective leaders say intelligence, dominance, adaptability, persistence, integrity, socioeconomic status, and self-confidence just to name a few.

实力有限，有改写成分，求拍。:D

我的习作有很多观点和你相似。
开头很赞，语言相当好，没有什么好说的了。只是感觉不够饱满，主要是缺少例子做支撑。有些地方没有展开。
Nixon的例子用的太多了，可以考虑换换。

1# Andrew_zwi 结构方面，提纲列出的B2观点与整个文章联系不太紧密，但文章中的B2观点还比较紧密；
第二段的例子“killing for meat"我没有看懂；
你在倒数第二段作了让步，我想我们的让步是一一样的，你的是让步是先反驳最高标准，再让步一个较高的标准还是必须的；而我的是先让步最高的标准固然好，然后再说其实最高标准与效率是矛盾的；所以我的让步适合放在前面，而你的让步适合放在后面。（个人观点，欢迎讨论）
结尾部分我觉得应该包含倒数第二段的内容，所以我想加一句是不是可以：To sum up, the highest ethical and moral standards are not essential for public officials to be effective leaders, yet public officials should at least maintain a basic standard of marality and ethic....（我语言功底不太好，我的意思你应该懂了，你可以把这句话再改得好一点）
总的来说你的结构还是很清晰的，语言也挺不错，我可能在语言方面提不出太多的建议，我还处在初级阶段~~共勉！！

就我个人而言，觉得将一个主题全写成反驳形式的易写成argument的形式，应该可以尽量先说他的长处，然后在进行反驳，语言是相当优美，看来已有写作一段时间了，很值得学习啊，有时间在继续研究。。。。。。。
