Question

【题目】在班级活动中，当你的想法与大多数同学不一致时，你是坚持自己的观点并说服别人，还是尊重大多数同学的意见?请你以“When Have a Different Opinion”为题，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文。要求如下：
1).从以上两种做法中选择一种；
2).以具体事例阐述你选择的理由。

Answer 1

【答案】One possible version:

When I Have a Different Opinion

We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have various ways to deal with such a situation. When I have a better idea, I would choose to stick to it. By doing so, I can not only share good ideas with others but also learn to express myself clearly.

Once we were discussing where to go for an outing. Most of my classmates wanted to go to a park while I had an idea of going to a nicer place. I managed to persuade my classmates into accepting my idea. We did have a good time that day. Good opinions are worth sticking to because they can benefit us all.

An alternative version:

When I Have a Different Opinion

We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. When I have a different opinion, I may choose to give it up and respect the opinion of the majority.

The main reason for my choice is that being brought up in a culture emphasizing collectivism, I tend to sacrifice my own interest for the group benefit. Once we were left to decide whether to have a picnic in a park or go to a museum. I would love to go to a museum, but most of my classmates wanted to go for a picnic. Without hesitation, I decided to follow them and we did have lots of fun that day. Sometimes giving up a little can mean getting more.

【解析】本篇书面表达是议论文，为提纲类作文，写作时应注意以下几点：仔细阅读有关提示，弄清试题提供的所有信息，明确从以上两种做法中选择一种是坚持自己的观点并说服别人还是遵从大多数同学的意见。考生要在提纲的范围内进行分析、构思和想象。要依据提示情景或词语，按照一定逻辑关系来写。根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态、语态；就文本而言应该用一般现在时态。但是在以具体事例阐述的时候使用过去时。注意使用高级词汇和句式，以增加文章的亮点。
