- Deduction: 演繹法!!!
- On the one hand, the influence of foreign cultures may affect young people's attitudes to traditions and customs.For example, many young people in my country try to dress up and look like a Korean pop star because in this way they feel closer to the culture that they admire. However, this only affects minor details but does not seriously threaten national identity.
- Downside=drawback=disadvantage
- Benefit=merit=advantage
- 連線句+反差+優點+延續
- In spite of the disadvantage, there are also significant benefits about this cultural globalization. Firstly, whereas (不像) in the past when we only had access to locally produced television programs or products, we now have become more open-minded and tolerant about cultures that are significantly different from ours. This will help reduce misunderstandings or prejudices and will make it easier for students or employees from our country to fit into the work, academic or social environment of another country.
- In spite of= despite +名詞短語
- Although+句子
- 優點+舉例
- In addition, being able to purchase foreign merchandises besides local brands means that the region is an advanced society. For example, when consumers cannot even find the most prevalent global brand like Starbucks in a region, it means that the area is at least not a quite developed one.
- Conclusion
- 重申自己的觀點，如果可以的話總結一下你的原因
- In conclusion, it seems to me that benefits brought by the cultural globalization are more significant than its downsides.
- Sample
- Some people regard video games as harmless fun, or even as a useful educational tool. Others, however, believe that video games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them.Do the drawback of video games outweigh the benefits?
- Sample
- However, I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks. Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores, new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing. Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game or to get a higher score than their friends. This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to problems at school, when homework is sacrificed for a few more hours on the computer.
- 缺點+解釋+例子+延續
- 寫文章一定要以讀者的感受為主，不要把你的文章變得很難讀很難理解。
- Exercise
- Some students take one year off between finishing high school and going to university, in order to travel or to work. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
- 錯誤示範: These students will find it difficult to return to the academic environment.
- This is important
- 情態動詞“軟化”資訊並幫助說明作者所表現的僅是個人推測而非已確認的事實。
- Some will: 有些將會
- Probably will/probably can: 很可能會
- Be likely to do/may/might/could do: 可能
- Ideas
- Taking a gap year may/is likely to help a student to discover where his interests lie in. For example, when a student choose to work for H&M during the gap year and consequently find himself rather interested in the fashion industry, he probably will decide on this as his academic choice.
- Sample
- In many countries many women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first months after the birth of their baby. Do the advantage outweigh disadvantage?
- The introduction
- Giving birth to a baby is one of the most significant family events. In some countries, new mothers are allowed to take maternity leave from work for a period of time. From my perspective, the advantages surely outweigh the downsides and in this essay I will explain why.
- Main body 1.
- On the one hand, temporarily stepping out from work means that these new mothers’ career prospects might be jammed. Many women have complained that when they returned to work, many of them found that they had lost the good assignments and relationships. However, it is overall less likely today because we are seeing more regulations being implemented to make sure that women return to their previous work without needing to suffer discrimination.
- 缺點+例子+洗白
- 如果用到的例子在現實世界當中已經存在，例子用現在完成時。
- Main body 1.
- Despite the negative mentioned above, one significant benefit about this policy is that new mothers can surely use this period of time to take better care of infants and bond with them. It is commonly known that the affection received in the first months will benefit the new-born baby both physically and mentally in the future.
- 優點+結果
- In addition, women are also given a buffer period to recover from the delivery and to lose the extra pounds gained during pregnancy. This is essential since it helps to build up confidence when they return to the previous work environment.
- 優點+結果
- Positive vs. Negative
- Today’s food travels thousands of miles before it reaches customers. Is this a positive or negative trend?
- Trend=change=development
- 表明自己態度
- 大多數是積極變化：In my opinion, this is largely a beneficial/negative trend and I will explain why.
- Eg: In today's world, foods are delivered across thousands of miles before reaching customers. From my perspective, this is largely a negative change and I will explain why.
- Ideas
- Positive effects: consumers will enjoy more choices of food
- Negative effects: environmental pollution+brings impact on local manufacturers and farms
- Main body 1.
- The most notable benefit is that consumers no longer need to leave the city to enjoy out-of-season or foreign food products that were once difficult to buy in the local market. For example, today consumers in Asia are finding it very convenient to walk into a store and purchase a bag of American chips whereas in the past, this type of food only appeared in movies or travelling magazines.
- 優點+舉例(對比)
- Main body 2.
- However, I still believe it is more of a negative change because firstly, it would be environmentally unfriendly. It is true that transport and the use of fossil fuels is one of the leading causes of global warming and climate change. Given this fact, if we want a cleaner environment, we should be trying to minimize transport and this includes reducing the unnecessary transport of foodstuffs.
- 缺點+解釋+提議
- Main body 3.
- Inaddition, transporting food also brings adverse impacts on local farmers and manufacturers.Farmers and smallholders are unable to compete with the supermarkets that import various products from abroad and these products are often more popular among consumers. Therefore, it is quite possible that local farmers will go out of business and it probably means that some local workers have to be laid off.
- 缺點+解釋+後果
- Conclusion
- In conclusion, transporting food indeed advantages the consumers. However, we should transport reasonably because it is environmentally unfriendly and it also impacts local community.
