三、對立比較

09.1.15 Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet, television). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

此類題目的特點是：兩方面在某種層面上屬于對立關系，可以分別討論其利弊，以達到比較的效果。就該題而言，“跟老師學還是從其他資源上獲得知識”是個老話題，分別討論教師的作用和其他來源的好處，進行對比便是應對此題的最好辦法，有時雙方互為優劣，僅提及好處即可。

相似考題：

2010.2.11 Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both of views and give your opinion.

四、分類說明

09.4.30 Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. Others think the purpose of museums is to educate, not to entertain. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

這類題目常讓考生覺得棘手，兩個方面似乎都有道理，但處理不好又會“搬起石頭砸自己的腳”，前后論述自相矛盾。這個時候，如果能夠對題目進行分類說明，便豁然開朗。

該題主要討論的是“博物館的功能”是教育還是娛樂，科技、自然博物館及一些主題博物館如杜莎夫人蠟像館都是屬于后者，而歷史、軍事乃至革命博物館就有前者意義。

A hundred years ago, people think that human race is steadily improving in every area of life. Nowadays, there is no certainty of this case. In which areas do you think we have made important progress nowadays? In which areas do you think we still need to make progress?

針對這四種類型的分析方法，考生可利用歷年真題進行分析練習，做到“胸有成竹”，在下筆之前有個清晰明確的脈絡，做到“事半功倍”。
