To what extent do you agree or disagree?   高分范文及解析 01 Language acquisition, especially the second language acquisition, is never a pure cognitive process. So, the abilities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are considered to have the same weight. I do not agree with this view. 解析 Ø 一般题目当中若有绝对意义的表达就不作为我们的立场选择。该题中的equally有绝对化表述的倾向； Ø weight：权重  02 The core function of language lies in communication, which inevitably leads to the procedures of processing and response to the input (listening and reading) and output (speaking and writing) of information respectively. Therefore, many language learners are convinced that people need to give the same level of attention to these four skills in order to achieve proficiency in the language they are learning. However, despite its rationality, this opinion cannot be discussed metaphysically. 解析 Ø 稍作让步（尽管语言重在交流，因此听说读写的权重要等同），然后立马驳斥（这种观点脱离了实际）； Ø proficiency：熟练，精通 Ø rationality：合理性 Ø metaphysically：形而上学地  03 Realistically, it is generally only language majors and those people working in the language industry that devote a significant amount of time to language learning. A much larger number of people may only study languages for specific working purposes. It would be an overkill to give the same weight to these four competencies. For example, in a foreign company whose main business is mechanical engineering, many professionals do not have to speak English fluently, as the public might think, but rather, being able to read designs and reply emails well is enough to get the job done. So, spending time to improve listening or speaking may just be the icing on the cake but not materially help to advance their work; instead, they need to put more efforts on reading and writing. By the same token, listening and speaking are more important to a qualified international tour guide than reading and writing, because these two language skills are relatively more interactive and better suited to the realities of the job. 解析 Ø 开始正式反驳：大多数人的语言学习是为特定的目的而服务，而非单纯的语言能力水平的提升； Ø overkill：矫枉过正 Ø competency：能力 Ø icing on the cake: 锦上添花 Ø materially：实质上  04 In general, listening, reading, writing and speaking are four skills that can are crucial to language acquisition, but they must also be considered in accordance with the effectiveness of the learning process in certain situation. 解析 Ø 语言的学习要考虑到对现实的效用。  出国留学第一步， 雅思考试 不能输！ 【新航道3分钟学雅思】粉丝福利 雅思备考资料（电子版） 免费领取！ 扫码免费领取 ·雅思高分范文推荐· |
