1.We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.

The speaker asserts that since disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning, we usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own. I agree insofar as undue discord can impede learning. At some point, however, listening to different ideas and discussing with those dissenters will certainly improve our knowledge and broaden the spectrum of our perspective.

Admittedly, people have a nature inclination to learn from those whose views we share in common, whereas they feel reluctant to think over different opinions or even do not listen to them at all. On one hand, when we share the same views with others, we usually not only feel satisfied and encouraged but also are willing to listen to them carefully. On the other hand, disagreement always arouses stress and even enmity. Consider, for example, during an experiment, when two people want to accomplish certain project, those who are ready to share the same views will definitely attain the results more efficiently than those who insist on their opinions and believe the other’s is totally wrong. The end result is that learning is impeded.

Aside from the abovementioned fact, I fundamentally disagree with the speaker’s claim in two respects. Firstly, though the contradicting views might have certain amount of detrimental effects towards the learning, they give us a chance to focus our attention to some alternative perspectives that we have never thought before. Since the sphere of knowledge of the people who have the same views with us is confined to the same level of cognition with us, such kind of knowledge is quite limited. For example, only by opening their mind to assimilate different views from the subordinates can the leaders in any firm execute new policy more effectively and efficiently. Sticking on their own views always produces counterproductive results.

Additionally, we can see the flaws of our own views by listening to contradicting views, thus enable us to improve our understanding of these views. While we only accept the views in accord  with our own, too much self-confidence will lead us blind to see nothing about our own deficiency, which consequently tampers progress rather than helps us. For example, the teenagers will feel a little bitter to comply with their parents’ rational and reasonable but seemingly oppressive rules, then in fact they can find themselves that it is these rules that help them to behave in a gentler way afterwards. Moreover, if we start comparing our solutions with different ones to the same issue, we can get more effective solutions by means of assimilating other’s merits and eliminating our drawbacks, which makes ourselves more stronger in competition.

In sum, while it is more satisfying to accept the similar views, listening to contradicting views not only broaden our ken and enrich our knowledge, but also help us get closer to the truth and better  judgement. In the final analysis, the optimal approach is to communicate with people whose views contradict our own rather than only with those whose views we share.


刚开始写，要不要限时呢？感觉限时肯定写不完，字打的太慢！

感觉象ARGUE,
层次挺清楚的

第二段的例子不能支持TS，因为TS说的是incline的问题，你下面论证的也是为何incline 的问题，但是例子却是比较了agree and disagree的结果

开始限时可能不现实吧，多写吧，写的多了就可以了

谢谢你的指点。
别人也说我写的issue像argument，能不能明示？如何改进？

mack1983UID: 183345

可以试试将重点放在对你自己的观点的分析上,，而不是对作者观点的批驳上。
比如说,想证明作者观点错误。argument的风格是什么什么错了，为什么错。然后又是什么什么错了，又是为什么错。。。。。
issue可以这样写，我不同意作者的观点。。。。
然后，我的观点是。。。。
为什么我的观点是这个呢？
一
二
三 等等
