托福寫作資料庫之教育篇內(nèi)容如下:
Do you agree or disagree:For successful development of a country, should a government focus its budget more on very young children’s education (5-10歲) or on higher education? 政府應該重視兒童的基礎教育還是高等教育?
文章布局:讓步反駁寫法。
寫作思路:三分讓步;七分反駁:
作家立場:政府應該重視基礎教育。
思路拓展:
政府重視基礎教育的利好:(對于個人,對于家庭,對于國家)
1. 對于個人而言,普及基礎教育可以幫助很多貧困的,來著偏遠地區(qū)的孩子們精神上成長,學術(shù)上精進,因此,可以很大程度上在未來幫助他們改變命運,擺脫貧困。例如,中國政府近年來加大對于基礎教育的扶持力度。
2. 對于家庭而言,國家普及基礎教育可以緩解家庭的財政負擔,尤其是對于很多工薪一族,家庭節(jié)省下預算可以提高生活質(zhì)量,享受娛樂生活,因此,給孩子們提供更加幸福,快樂的成長環(huán)境。
3. 對于國家而言,普及教育可以提高國民的基本素質(zhì),幫助更多的學生為升入大學打下堅實的基礎。基礎教育的成功是高等教育發(fā)展的堅實基礎,因此,基礎教育發(fā)展,國家才能培養(yǎng)優(yōu)秀人才,人才可以為國家的發(fā)展提供注入新鮮活力,提高國家在國際舞臺的競爭力。
政府重視高等教育的利好 + 再加以反駁:
1. 另外,那些不同意支持初級的教育的人有時候會找到理由去支持他們的觀點,即是,優(yōu)秀的社會精英,例如,企業(yè)家,文學家,科學家更多的是由高等教育培養(yǎng)的,他們可以為生產(chǎn)力的發(fā)展提供驅(qū)動力。但是,我想反駁的是,基礎教育使更多人辨別是非,增強守法意識及愛國情懷,培養(yǎng)更多行為規(guī)范的良好公民比培養(yǎng)少量的社會精英的社會意義更大。
