【范文賞析】
【首段】 背景介紹 + 爭議焦點 + 作家立場
The contrivance of the television and the Internet has greatly diversified modern people’s cultural life，especially those children or teenagers. People differ greatly in their views as to whether or reading story books exerts a far more beneficial influence on those who are in the formative years compared with watching television or playing on-line games. My stand is that watching television and playing games is superior to reading story books.
【解析】
The contrivance of the television and the Internet has greatly diversified modern people’s cultural life 電視和網絡的發(fā)明極大地豐富了人們的精神生活。
【二段】讓步原題觀點的合理性
Indeed，children can become the beneficiaries of reading story books. This debate reminds me of my little brother Paul. As a keen lover of reading, he is in the habit of reading extensively, he has already punished a number of stories through enthusiastic reading and constant writing practice. After all, first-class books are the summarization of excellent ideas and rich cultural deposits, so, I have to concede that reading excellent story books can stir one’s imagination, stimulate one’s creativity, strengthen one’s literacy and thus deepen one’s insight into life.
【解析】
Reading excellent story books can stir one’s imagination, stimulate one’s creativity, strengthen none’s literacy and thus deepen one’s insight into life. 閱讀優(yōu)秀故事書籍，可以激發(fā)人的想象力和創(chuàng)造力，增強人的讀寫能力及對于生活的洞察。
【三段】反駁原題觀點之不合理性
Notwithstanding all that, we can never undervalue the benefits brought about by playing games or watching television. First, instructive television programs could also enact the role of educator. To illustrate, many prevailing talk show or speech contest programs are full of inspiring information. The anchors of those programs are extremely agile and eloquent, hence, TV viewers’ view of life could be greatly enlarged. Also, properly playing on-line games, by occupying time so constructively, makes teenagers contented, with no time for boredom. Meanwhile, playing computer games help develop the players’ intelligence and teamwork spirit because many challenging team games need strategy and cooperation.
【解析】
1. Anchors of those programs are extremely agile and eloquent. 這些節(jié)目主持人思維敏銳、口才俱佳。
2. Properly playing on-line games, by occupying time so constructively, makes teenagers contented, with no time for boredom. 適度游戲，通過有建設性地利用了時間，使人心滿意足，再也沒有無聊之感。
【尾段】再次亮明觀點
In closing, it is a hasty decision to simply conclude that reading can benefit youngsters more in comparison with playing games or watching television.
