作文难题征集帖（更新关于A79的讨论）

这个Argu的疑惑是我们容易不知道结论是什么，我的理解是在第一句话里面，就是那个publisher recommend  的那个结论，所以写起来的话，可以按以下的思路参考下：
publisher提出两个论据：
1.）过去3年以政治为头版的杂志销量很差 2 x* B: M5 ?. s0 n
       （ ==》反驳：销量差未必是由于政治新闻造成的；同期其他杂志的销量是否OK。。。）
2.）调查指出人们更喜欢经济新闻8 |# }9 e8 K( w. m. C
       （==》反驳：调查是否权威，调查范围是否是Newsbeat的销售范围，喜欢经济新闻并不代表不看政治新闻.。。。）

editor提出一个论据：
1.）现在做政治的杂志很少
        （==》反驳：政治相关杂志很少不代表你做了就一定有销量，做政治的少不代表不能做经济。。。）

提出recommendation：
1.）可以做一个更权威更有说服力的survey， 来说明newsbeat的读者更期待经济新闻# i
2.）可以两种新闻一起做，但是以哪个为front cover需要更深入的调查

就是楼上说的这题！！我也一直没明白，这个意思是到底要反驳谁的观点？前面那个人的还是editor的？求问！

The president of Grove College has recommended that the college abandon its century-old tradition of all-female education and begin admitting men. Pointing to other all-female colleges that experienced an increase in applications after adopting coeducation, the president argues that coeducation would lead to a significant increase in applications and enrollment. However, the director of the alumnae association opposes the plan. Arguing that all-female education is essential to the very identity of the college, the director cites annual surveys of incoming students in which these students say that the school's all-female status was the primary reason they selected Grove. The director also points to a survey of Grove alumnae in which a majority of respondents strongly favored keeping the college all female.

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

请问这道题的结论是啥？感觉就是两边在陈数自己的观点

我觉得版主对A79的分析很对呀。是要两个都批驳吧？即publisher和editor提出的理据都不充分。

Claim: The best test of an argument is its ability to convince someone with an opposing viewpoint.
Reason: Only by being forced to defend an idea against the doubts and contrasting views of others does one really discover the value of that idea.

Writea response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
这道题...想不通,看不懂啊...看去年总结的机经..考到好几次了..有没人帮忙解解?

关于这题，我觉得，从两方面来说，有些专业性很强的领域，上面的说法是可靠地，但有些领域，需要普通人的参与，并且普通人的认识有时显得尤为重要，再做一个综合点的，就是现在随着普通人对专业知识的掌握的增多，专业人士和普通人相互补充

17. Formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.
一时之能想到一点： 标准化考试、标准化答案有时确实僵化

51. Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition.
观点：赞成
1. long-term， realistic goals可以给人长久的努力方向
2. 追求immediate fame and recognition会导致急功近利、不择手段的现象
3. 但这二者有时确实不大好分：在追求长期目标的过程中，可能突然就成功了……对一时名声的追求也可能转化为长期的
感觉这样的提纲还是很乱，而且例子不大想得出来……

54. In order to become well-rounded individuals, all college students should be required to take courses in which they read poetry, novels, mythology, and other types of imaginaitve literature.
这题就有点茫然了，是应该侧重想象力的重要性呢？还是文学的重要性？
