关于写作（欢迎指教）

考了两次托福，都是模板的功劳（6和5.5），可是写作还是菜啊，我的Business Writing老是直居7分左右，就是不肯前进，看看成绩单，悬殊实在太大，实在头痛。没有办法，只好勤加苦练了，选几篇文章，写写summary还有个人的statement，欢迎大家多多指教（其实帮忙才是真的），如果写的实在很菜，还请大家不要见笑，这里先谢过了。

No.1 Architects plan estates that can vanquish racism

The world’s leading architects will meet in London on Tuesday to launch plans for Britain’s housing estates of the future – estates that will help to combat racism.

Following the failure of concrete urban complexes, tower blocks and far-flung suburban cul-de-sac developments, internationally acclaimed architects, including Daniel Libeskind, who will rebuild Group Zero in New York, and Britain’s Richard Rogers, Zaha Hadid and Will Alsop are to support a call for a return to old-fashioned terraces and mixed community living.

Alsop Architects is to urge town planners and housing associations to reconsider the shape of the conversional two-up, two-down terraced house. Partners believe that, far from alienating residents, such affordable living can promote a sense of belonging and prove less socially divisive.

“Mistakes were made in the past, but architects generally are a lot more savvy now about what will and will not work,” said James Hulme of Alsop Architects.

Tom Bloxham, chairman of the Urban Splash Group, is working with Alsop Architects on urban renewal work in Manchester and also on a project in Salford where unwanted two-up, two-down terraces are being restored.

“There has been a false divide between social and private housing and it has the effect of social engineering,” he said. “People given the highest number of housing points by the local authority, the people with problems, get put together. So estates become ghettos and neighboring gated ghettos for the rich also develop.”

The conference will focus on radical ways of integrating black and ethnic minority communities. The Housing Corporation which is responsible for investing more than $2 billion in social housing and housing associations, tries to ensure that people want, and can afford, to live in the homes that are available.

“Black and minority ethnic communities have in the main been dealt a poor hand when it comes to social housing,” said Baroness Brenda Dean, chairman of the corporation. “But innovative design should not be the sole domain of the private sector and we are challenging the architectural community to drive a sea change.

The summary I wrote is following:

The new housing estates of the future which will help to reduce racism will be discussed by the world’s leading architects in London who believed to rebuild the old-fashion terraces and mixed community because of the failure concrete urban complexes. The Alsop Architects prompt the modal of two up, two-down terraced house in order to correct the misunderstanding and improve the neighboring communication further more. By mainly solving the racial problems of the black and ethnic minority, much more investment will set up in this project. of course, except this proposal, others actions to remove the racism play more important role.
