3、参考答案

 

模板套话Well, one of my favourite subjects is literature, which is the foundation and basis for almost every other subject.

内容Basically speaking, literature covers a wide range of fields, including history, poetry, philosophy, novels, short stories, drama, language and so on.

时间Speaking of when I learned the subject, I must say that I have been studying literature ever since primary school, and strictly speaking, the time I spend studying literature is not confined to any certain period, but every little drop of my life.

原因I am partial towards literature for a number of reasons.

观点1 As mentioned above, literature is an important aspect of a variety of educational programs.

客观So, how could one read and write or communicate with others without being literate?

主观Moreover, literature can help us be more educated and informed, and at the same time, can help pave the way for opportunities in study and work.

 

观点2 Besides, I feel that literature can motivate a person to think critically/creatively/innovatively/independently/logically/systematically.

客观Through studying history, religion, tradition and culture, one may develop a strong sense of logics, morality, etiquette ( 礼仪), principle and so on.

主观And that’s really crucial for a person to function appropriately and effectively in society.

 

观点3 More importantly, I always believe that literature contains the historical background of the time in which it was written,

客观simply because literature is the record of the past, it is necessary for inheriting and passing on knowledge to the next generation.

主观So, for me, I am quite interested in all aspects of the humanities, and literature helps me understand them more insightfully and thoroughly.

14 Which one is more important, salary or job satisfaction?

起Personally, I consider job satisfaction to be more important,

承和反simply because if people don’t like what they do, it will be a torture for them, and I don’t believe that they would be persistent and productive under such a situation. So how can they become excellent and improve themselves?

转Yet I do admit that salary is almost everyone’s concern when they get a job, because people need to meet their expenses on a daily basis.

合In conclusion, if I could only choose one out of the two aspects, I’d rather select job satisfaction.

6、经典例题

 

15 What are the most popular jobs for young people in your country?

Well, it depends.

For boys, I feel that they are more likely to be concerned about which industry they are working in, or areas where they believe they will be successful sooner or later, such as banking, IT,engineering, construction and a mining company.

Yet for girls, I guess they tend to focus on job satisfaction and job content. Quite a number of girls dream of working in areas that are related to fashion or modern lifestyles, including fashion design, textiles, media specialist, hospitality sector and even show business.

For both, I think that being in business is pretty attractive, since young people nowadays long for financial freedom so that they can choose their favourite lifestyle and do whatever they want.
