题目分析

你是否同意下述观点:如果你需要和他人讨论令人讨厌的或者有争议的问题,使用电子邮件或发送短信要比通电话和发送语音信息更合适。
指导
题目非常贴近人们的日常生活,因而和题目相关的例子不在少数。题目的前提条件是讨论有争议的问题,所以要围绕这件事情的特点来展开,破题的关键在于将题目拆分成三个小单元“upsetting or controversial problems(令人讨厌的或有争议的问题)”、“e-mail or text messaging(发送电子邮件或发短信)”“telephone or voice messaging(打电话或发送语音信息)”,讨论每个小单元的典型特点,加以联系即可。
1. 一般情况下,人们进行讨论会采取哪些方式,请结合具体事例分别说明?如果是你,你会采用题目中涉及到的一些方式来进行讨论吗,为什么?
回答: 人们讨论可以通过面对面开会,短信或e-mail,打电话或语音。比较重要且一两句话说不清楚的会采用开会的形式讨论,比较随意的交谈会用语音或者电话,儿简短或比较正式的事情会用短信或e-mail交流。如果是我,遇到令人讨厌且比较有争议的话题时,我会用e-mail或短信来交流。
2. 令人讨厌的和有争议的问题有什么特点?请结合实际简述。
回答: 令人讨厌的问题容易引起对方的反感进而产生争吵而发生不愉快,有争议的问题会比较容易产生意见不和从而引发争吵。一般有争议的问题会拿到辩论会上讨论,而辩论会通常非常热烈激情因为人们总是偏向自己那方观点。而日常生活中,当人们遇到有争议的问题时,由于缺少准充分论据的时间,为了说服别人就会以争吵的方式解决。
3. 人们一般讨论上述问题的时候会出现哪些情况?请结合实际简述,如果是你在讨论这种问题,你会选择哪种方式?你会选择上述之外的方式吗,请具体说明?
回答: 比如当和一个朋友讨论到底是住校外好还是住校内好时,会和朋友产生分歧, 如果想要说服朋友一起住校内,把他叫出来直接说不如给他发一封邮件,邮件里委婉阐述住在校内的好处,我会用这种方式,这样会表达得比较清晰。
4. 电子邮件和发短信有哪些特点?我们一般用它来解决什么问题?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 电子邮件和短信基于文字,可以给我们充足的时间思考和组织语言,并反复修改以达到得体委婉的用词表达,同时,这种方式适合解决容易引起争议且令人反感,用语言说不清的话题,这样可以避免用语音交流时的争吵。也适合交流比较正式的问题,包含很多细节的东西,比如向自己的教授申请一个项目,发邮件比直接打电话显得更礼貌得体,且比较容易说清楚自身的条件等等,并且留有让教授充分考虑的时间。
5. 打电话和发语音信息有哪些特点?这种方式用来讨论题目中的问题合适吗?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 打电话和语音信息是实时交互的,要求双方要在交流当时就给与回复,语音交流可以通过语音语调表达出自己的态度,适合比较轻松的交谈。而对于令人反感或有争议的问题,通过电话可能会表述不清进而更容易产生争议。有一次我给一个教授打电话请教一个有争议的问题,不巧的是教授当时正在忙着批改作业比较忙,所以电话里有些不情愿,同时最后也没有把问题说清楚,相反,如果换成邮件,教授会等到有充分时间的时候答复自己,这样不仅不会令教授反感,也能有效的解决问题。

As there are increasing ways communication media nowadays, using what kind of tools to solve particular problems arouse people's concern. In my point of view, for the problem that are upsetting or controversial, it is better to use e-mail and text message than to use telephone or voice-message.Communicate by e-mail and text message are benefit for reseanable expressing and it can provide with decent word that avoid conflicting. Last semester I persuade my friend Lisa who always insist on living outside the campus that we'd better live in campus next term. I choose to send her an e-mail and list all advantages living inside the campus. I try my best to use friendly and comfortable words. Also, in the e-mail I compare both benifits and drawbacks of living in and outside the campus. Finally I successful persuade her to live with me. I believe it is the sincerely and convining word in my letter online that make her change mind. If I take a phone to her talking about this problem, I can not ensure that we won't have an argument.For people that you are unfamiliar with, it is better to use e-mail and text message which are more formal and polite. This kind of tools can offer people more time to considerate and response. Take an academic problem for example, last semester I made a call to my professor to talk about a math problem that I think there are something wrong within the slide. Unfortunately, he was busy in completing his own project, and seems unwilling to help me. Finally, he failed to solve my problem. And I think if I choose to use e-mail or text message, the professor may have enough time to consider my problem and deal with it efficiently. E-mail can not only make me express problem clearly and logically but also present a polite attitude to the professor who maybe doesn't have time concentrating on others.Using telephone or leaving voice message is more easy and convenient to communicate, sometimes, relatives often prefer to use this kind of way because it seems more close to each other when you take a phone and hear your familiar voice of parents or friends. However, I insist that communicating by e-mail and text messagethat for disgusting and conversial problem is much better, for it a formal and polite way to explian this specail problem and it can avoid confliction and unpleasant argue between friends.
