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:
People usually discuss things by talking directly, sending e-mail or text messaging, and using telephone or voice-messaging. When it come to me, I prefer to communicate with others by sending e-mail or text messaging, because e-mail and text message are more accurate and professional than voice.
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:
Upsetting and controversial problems are easily affected by emotions. People are more easily to argue with others about upsetting and controversial problems when they feel bad. It is bad for people to solve the upsetting and controversial problems. In our family, we always discuss upsetting and controversial problems,such as my school performance, in our dining time because we usually have a good time and can discuss these problem peacefully.
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:
When people try to solve these problems, they may change their mind quickly because they are stimulated by environments, And if they make a decision too quick, they might regret later. So communicating with others by sending email or text message has more advantages. When I and my wife prepared our wedding, we usually argue with each other about wedding details. Because wedding is important for us, it is difficult for us to compromise. In order to solve these problems, we usually send email to the other. By email, we could point our reasons and compare plans peacefully.
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:
email and text message are formal, accurate. We usually use them to make a plan with group members.
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:
telephone and voice message shows emotion more directly. We usually use them to communicate with our friends and families. It is not suitable to discuss these problems mentioned above. Once, I quarreled with my collage when we discuss a problem we met in our tasks. We had different plans to solve the problem. We both wanted to persuade the other. Then our voice became louder and louder, and finally we quarreled instead of solving the problems. Then, our supervisor told us we should communicate these problems by email which can give us more time to calm ourselves and consider plans.
