摘录内容：（此处为讨论两种意见然后给出自己意见的题型。特别关注红色字体部分的结构样例，斜体字部分为例文）
Topic: The care of old people is a growing problem. Some say the government should care for old people. Others say that it is the family’s responsibility. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
A composition where you discuss a topic (discursive writing) may involve discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions. The structure needs to be very clear.
Here is one way of organising your answer:
1. Introduction
2. Body
Continue in the same way with any other solutions you would like to include
3. Conclusion giving writer’s final opinion based on above arguments
N.B. This topic shows just one kind of discursive writing. Others include proposing solutions and justifying opinions. These require different structures.
Read the writing below and mark on it the following different parts in its structure. Write the appropriate letter beside each part – e.g. 1, 2B.
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children.
Do you agree or disagree?
This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.
I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.
However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the ‘hero’ of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centred and insensitive to others.
Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing nonvirtual experiences is an important part of a child's development that cannot be provided by a computer.
In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.
I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.
