185. 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.
---------------------------------------
Scandals are commonly considered to be curious and useless which usually come up from private lives of famous people. 【这里说的更像是隐私】However, the author asserts that scandals can be useful considering that they focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could. In my point of view, this issue can be divided into two sides. On the one hand, scandals【这里确实需要限制,some scandals】are useful and beneficial to some extent, especially on gaining national attention in some important events. On the other hand, most scandals are about dull and meaningless affairs; in this sense, scandals are of no use. Thus, concerned with scandals judging, taking a case-by-case attitude is necessary. 【开头太长了,考场上没有时间写出这么长的开头的。】
At the beginning, let's take a look at the useful and advantaged side of scandals. The first example coming up to my head is one of the most intelligent mathematicians in the history--Galois Evariste who is the founder of Group Theory and Abstract Algebra. But almost every book concerned with introducing mathematicians talks about his scandal that he died at the age of 21 and his death is because of a private fight concerning his love affair with a girl. Galois’ scandal 【这个不算是scandal,要注意scandal的定义】paints the mysterious mathematic world a romantic color. 【你这句正是说明了这个不算是scandal,只能算是一个爱情的悲剧】People who read his story may take a smile from the bottom of their hearts and sigh with emotion that mathematicians are still normal human beings. And because of his scandal, a number of people who are interested in it may step into the mathematic world to find out what mathematicians do, then might become one of them. 【这个结论十分的牵强,我认为你应该重新寻找例子】Furthermore, his scandal also warns people that personal emotion may has great influence on their lives and it is necessary to be careful when dealing with it. 【这个也不能算是你开头的national attention范围的】Another example is in the field of politics -- the Watergate scandal which brought down Richard Nixon. Take a retrospect of this scandal, we can learn a lot from it and its aftermath is worthy of mention. First, people would pay more attentions to politicians and how politics work. 【这个结论同上一个】Second, politicians would be more active in building our society in a good way and take care of themselves more scrupulously. Finally, the level of scrutiny would be increased and reliability administration would be more regarded, then government would be running more efficiently. In a word, some scandals do good to our lives. 【政治领域的例子还算可以,Galois的例子一定要换】
Finally, I have to say, most scandals are standing at the harmful side. As we all know, without considering the meanings and contents they carried, scandals are one of the most noticeable news through every media. 【病句,前后主语不一致,前面的主语是人们,后面的主语变成丑闻了】So nowadays, news papers, televisions and broadcasts all try their best to look for distinct scandals, even make up fake scandals by themselves in all aspects of the world to cater to the readers, viewers or listeners’ curiosity. However, this trend is harmful in several ways. First, on the individual level, whoever gets entangled in a scandal will never live in a normal life. Consider academia as an example; professor, no matter how notable he (she) is and how many achievements he has accomplished, once he is entangled in an academia scandal, even not in purpose, he can hardly explain. 【前面说的都不错,这个can hardly explain 一下子把你的论述弄歪了,你要说的是害处,所以就应该论述对个人名声,地位,生活,隐私等的损害】Second, on a societal level, it distracts people from more important things. For example, in the area of entertainment, actors and actresses always encounter these kinds of things. Love affairs, drug abuse and drinking too much, etc. among famous people are frequently going to be a cover story. These kinds of meaningless news appear on and on, but people have no time to read what the most critical problem for our country is, how many people are still out of work and how many children are still out of school. In this way, no longer can civil consciousness[全民意识?] be promoted. 【从个人和社会两个层次来分析,很好的思路,但是要注意论述的逻辑,论据和论点的支持】
In sum, I agree with the claim that scandals are useful to some extent, but only a few. Most of scandals in modern media are no use at all. Thus, in order to judge whether a scandal is useful in some sense, we should consider it case-by-case.
【从正反两个方面论述,思路还是好的,但是B1第一个例子有问题,B2的第一个分论点论述有问题。还有就是speakers or reformers的问题忽略了。加油!】 |
