第1 题

本题探讨的是的“间隔年”问题，那么中学毕业生到底是否应该“taking a year off”呢?

参考范文( 一)：( 观点侧重支持“taking a gap year”)

It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically independent for a period of time.

The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world. By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or travelling to other places, have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life.

However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.

My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons. That is the best way for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off may be the best way to gain this.

让我们一起来分析这篇范文的逻辑结构!

参考范文( 一) 倾向支持观点“taking a gap year”。

段，用简洁的语言直接引出讨论：学生无论贫富，很多人都会选择“taking a gap year”。这里重点提醒大家的是：开头段写作简洁为要!此处堆砌“华丽”的套句很容易给人一种套用模板的感觉，从而直接导致低分。所以，在这个“反模板”的时代，切记简洁才是最美!

第二段，文章立论段，通过对比直接论证选择“taking a gap year”的学生更具优势。本段是议论文写作中提出支持文章中心观点的分论点、并对其进行有效支持和扩展的部分，属于主要得分段落。

第三段，本文驳论段，先让步——选择“taking a gap year”的学生可能会面临某些负面影响，但又随即说明这种潜在的负面影响在当今比较容易避免，从而更进一步论证了自己的观点。这里需要提醒大家的是：一名合格(更包括)的考生除了能够使用恰当的论据支持自己的观点之外，还必须能对与自己相反的观点进行有效的评价。所以，注意驳论段和立论段共同构成主体段落!

第四段，表明文章的中心观点，即倾向支持学生“taking a gap year”，并再一次强调其重要性。
