真正开始尝试写issue，发现很难做到的一点就是替换一些词汇。比如这一篇是写scandal的，我发现写作过程中会不停提到scandal， 但是提多了会不会显得文章很烦人，通根词替换也只想到了一个scandalous，不知道各位有没有什么想法可以指点一下。非常感谢！！！

文章：Due to the fact that no speaker or reformer could focus our attention on scandals makes us to believe that scandals are useful. But is that the only reason for the scandals' usefulness? For the speakers and reformers, scandals can have a great impact on one's reputation so it may be an intractable thing for them. But as ordinary citizens, we tend to search for the public figure's scandals and take them as our talking materials. In addition to the receiver of the scandals, the transmitter of the scandals plays an important part in leading or misleading the public into believing the right or wrong messages. Thus, scandals' usefulness is depended on its source, receiver and the promulgator.

Scandals are bad news or something public figures do not want others to know. Once they are exposed to the public, their reputation and prestige can be greatly influenced, a consequence nobody would like to see. Judging from this way, scandals may be useless for a famous people in that they may affect or even destroy his or her future life. However, giving a second thought, would not that the possibility of exposing their scandals to the pulic that restrained the public figures' behaviours and thoughts? There is always an eye keeping on them, keeping them from doing something bad or wrong. The Watergate Scandal is a good proof for this. If the the scandal had not been exposed, there would have been a bad influence on American Politic and culture, preventing the development of democracy.

Talking about the scandalous lives of public elite or famous people is a kind of entertainment for us ordinary citizens. At least from this point of view, scandal is useful for ordinary people. In the political area, scandals are the best way for us to see through the problems of the legal system and supervise the government to be fair and open. The concealment of the Chinese government about the serious situation of SARS in China and finally led to a tremendous loss has proved the importance of keeping the public informed of the current state. In the economic area, scandals are generally considered as corruption. It is a stimulus for the social stability if certain scandals about corruption are exposed to the public in that both the official and the government are likely to pay attention to their behaviours.

Mass media is always a bridge, connecting the public, government and people from different kinds of work and position. It is the major way for finding, making and spreading scandals. Mass media takes a great responsibility for searching scandals for public. Actually, to some extent, mass media depends our viewpoint and form our value about certain events. Scandals are useful for media because those scandalous story may be the warrants for the sale of a newspaper, click rate of a website or rating of a television program. In order to get these things, some media would make up stories and lead to a bad effect. Although it is useful for mass media to undercover scandals, it is also important to make sure of its reality.

Few speakers or reformers could focus our attention on problems is not the only reason for the importance of scandal. It is a complicated question for different people as public figures, ordinary citizens and mass media. Some people may argue that the scandals will destroy one's whole life and thus should be prohibited. But just because of the possiblity of destroying one's reputation or even one's life should all the famous people to maintain moral principles and set a good example for others.

引導詞我一直很糾結，因為引導詞給人一種模版化的感覺，to sum up,without ruling out,first and foremost,last but not least,所以我的所有作文幾乎不怎麼用引導詞。。。。
