作文題目：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Movies are worth watching only when they teach something about real life.

題型類別:
事實類

寫作思路：
這是一道老題，重復2011年8月的寫作題。
題目不難，非常典型的絕對詞題目，建議大家選擇disagree。
解題方式：承合駁絕（承認合理性，駁斥絕對性）。
考生們如果覺得有難度，主要問題在于例子上面。針對此題，同學們不好自己編造例子，最好是建立在實實在在的電影的基礎上的。很多同學在考場上發現不會寫電影名稱、演員或者劇中人物的名字。導致想用的例子卻用不了，所以提醒各位考生一句，寫作要好，平時的積累一定要足，同時要勤練筆，將寫作融入到自己的生活中，這樣方能扎扎實實地提高～

寫作指導：
Main point: Disagree

Reason1. 承認現實電影的可看性，有好處，但是并不是唯一值得看的電影。

Undeniably, it is beneficial for a movie when it focuses on realism. (承認合理性)That kind of movie usually reflects our actual life or exposes the hardship and misfortune some people are going through. (適當解釋合理性)For example, the documentary movie “Tears in Africa” presents cruel life situations occurring in Africa which can move all of us to give aid to Africans. (舉例說明)However, if we simply pay attention to this type of movie, it may create so much stress in our lives that we ordinary people could not bear it very long.(駁斥)

Reason2. 很多人因為喜愛電影里面的元素而看電影，比如喜歡的明星，高超的特技效果等。

例如，我非常喜歡高科技元素，我就會去看X-MEN, TRANSFORMERS, IRON MAN, Harry Port等;比如我非常喜歡小李子(Leonardo)，他的電影我就一定要去看。無論是高科技元素還是演員精湛的演技都會讓我們從中受益。

Reason3. 只看反映現實類的電影讓人stressed out。以Aftershock(唐山大地震)為例，看完之后整個人情緒非常低落。
