Answer 1

【答案】Some people in support of the reform argue that students are supposed to learn traditional Chinese culture, which is beneficial to their development. What’s more, the wisdom of classic Chinese poetry and writings helps students cope with the challenges they are faced with in life, shaping their views of life.

For opponents of the reform, writings in classic Chinese are no longer used in daily life. Additionally, students in primary and junior high schools are too young to understand them. Therefore, they are afraid that students will totally lose interest in Chinese.

From my perspective, it is important to learn the classic Chinese poetry and writings, for they are an important part of Chinese culture. We should treasure our cultural heritage. Yet I don’t think it is necessary to include a lot of classic poetry and writings in textbooks. After all, the purpose of learning the classics is to appreciate them rather than prepare for exams.

【解析】英语议论文的写作，大多有具体要点（即论点或论据）的限定。不需要过多展开，但必须逻辑严密,结构清晰，语言精练，必须论有中心,言而有据。

议论文的写作住往从正反两方面来论述，以下的议论模式一般从“主题句一正面论述，反面论述一结论”四大块去营造文章的基本结构（四块论）。

本文针对中小学生语文教材的改革”这一话题，人们提出了不同的意见。首先支持者在文章第一块（段）亮出自己的观点：要本段中运用复杂句“Some people in support of the reform argue that students are supposed to learn traditional Chinese culture, which is beneficial to their development.”这个复杂句中有一个定语从句中含有一个由which引导的定语从句。再用连词“What’s more”引出第二个论据，在这个论据中运用一个省略that的定语从句 they are faced with in life, shaping their views of life.

在第二段中提出反对者的论点。本段中运用连词“Additionally”连词两个单句列出两点反对古诗文的两个观点，从面用“Therefore”得出结果。

最后一段中运用一个固定短语“From my perspective,”在我看来，用一个并列句提出自己的观点，古诗文作为中国传统文化，学习它是非常重要的。然后用一个宾语从句“t I don’t think it is necessary to include...”及一个非谓语作表语（to appreciate them rather than prepare for exams.）总结了自己的观点。
