题型分类:对比题

论证角度:原因挖掘

观点选择:让步

开头:同意人们应该追求高远的目标。(话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡)

Life is an experience of following goals. Some people work hard to pursue ambitious goals while others devote to realistic ones. Then, which type of goal makes more sense for modern people? This question seems to arouse a heated debate in society recently. As far as I am concerned, we should set our goals as high as possible in order to achieve the best result. I am going to elaborate this viewpoint in the following paragraphs. (76 words)

重点语块整理:

1)devote to:致力于

2)make sense:有意义

3)a heated debate:热议的话题

中间段1:对个人而言,目标定得越高远,最后的结果才会越好,(主题句+说理论证+细节例子)

For individuals, the higher the goal is, the better the result will be. It is because there is always a gap between a reality and a dream. Higher goals can galvanize people to push to the limit and achieve more. Instead, aiming at realistic goals, people are more likely to produce results less than they expect. For example, when I was in high school, my father usually encouraged me to set the target score for a test obviously beyond my ability, so that I would force myself to work harder every time to get closer to the mission impossible. Thanks to my father, my test score was always far ahead of others. (112 words)

重点语块整理:

1)push to the limit:突破极限

2)be more likely to:更有可能(做某事)

3)beyond one's ability:超越某人能力

4)get closer to:不断逼近...

5)mission impossible:不可能的任务

6)be far ahead of others:名列前茅

中间段2:对全人类而言,高远的目标让人们敢于挑战未知,突破极限,实现跨越式发展。(主题句+说理论证+细节例子)

For all mankind, ambitious goals allow human beings to boldly go where no one has gone before. Without audacious dreams, the world would not have been what it is today. It is those “unrealistic” dreams that drive human beings to break new ground and make new breakthroughs all the time. Jack Ma, probably the most famous Chinese person, once proposed that he wanted to build an e-commerce platform for all merchants to do business, but at that time he was just considered nothing but a guy talking idiotic nonsense. If Jack Ma had not set such a goal, there would not have been Alibaba, a great company changing the lives of millions. (112 words)

重点语块整理:

1)audacious dreams:无畏的梦想

2)break new ground:打破常规

3)make breakthroughs:取得突破

4)nothing but:只不过,仅仅是

5)talk idiotic nonsense:痴人说梦

让步段:当然,不是说现实的目标就没有价值,因为现实的目标比较容易实现,人们更愿意努力去实现,但是现实目标通常比较短视,人们无法突破自己的极限而实现更大的可能性。(承认漏洞+堵漏)

Admittedly, I am not denying the importance of realistic goals. Compared to ambitious ones, realistic goals are more attainable so that people are willing to make them happen. However, realistic goals may well make people short-sighted, reducing their possibility to think out of the box and get what is out of their reach. In this sense, people with ambitious goals are inclined to have more successful life. (67)

重点语块整理:

1)be willing to:愿意(做某事)

2)make...happen:让...发生

3)think out of the box:跳出常规思维的束缚

结尾:重申观点+归纳理由/升华主题

In summary, it is more meaningful for people to follow ambitious goals rather than realistic ones. I am a big fan of a movie, Turbo, in which a line has left me a deep impression: no dream is too big, and no dreamer is too small. Thus, let’s never be stingy about our dreams. Make them big and make them happen. (61 words)

重点语块整理:

1)a big fan of:喜爱...

2)...leave one a deep impression:给某人留下深刻印象

3)be stingy about:吝啬...

一篇语言质量高的英语作文要具备5个要素:正确、准确、简洁、流畅、地道。正确指“语法正确”、准确指“用词准确”、简洁指“不冗长、不啰嗦”、流畅指“连贯性、衔接性要好”,而这里“地道”最难理解,我给出的定义是,要尽可能多的使用“语块”在你的文章里。那么什么是“语块”,我在上文中给大家总结的这些都是“语块”,如果你还想进步一了解,请点击:
