破题的方式之一：细化题目的陈述中的模糊的部分。
题目中的similar和different是模糊概念。于是，在写作中，可以通过把模糊概念细化具体化来让写作的内容充实、现实。
【以body部分的一个段落示范写作如下】：
Two people may never become true friends if they do not have similar educational or economic backgrounds. Having those things in common is critical to the likelihood of a friendship, because those things decide people’s cognitive ability, worldview and values. 接下来，举例论证： A friendship between a Harvard graduate and a graduate from an average university is hardly likely, because the Harvard one may think at a level that is too high for the mediocre one. ← 指名道姓，体的例子】 Nor is it likely that a person who already hasmaterial comfort and therefore has pursuits on spiritual level is on the same page with another who struggles for the sense of security on the material level. ← 没有指名道姓，但是有具体的情况】 In addition, different educational or economic status may result in having different or even divergent values. 措辞技巧：反问句加强语气，“强词夺理”： How could such two people be friends?

破题的方式之二：明确题目给出的人群的特点(通常是年龄段)。
题目中的at an early age是人群的关键特点。于是，在写作中，可以通过从这个年龄段的特点着手，找到最切题的讨论内容。
【以body部分的一个段落示范写作如下】：
It is critical to consider the young age of those children. ← 留出信息空白：consider the young age，回应信息空白 → Children before the age of seven, except for those gifted ones, are unable to learn through the verbal or textual delivery of knowledge. ← 留出信息空白：are unable to，回应信息空白 → Their cognitive capability does not permit them to understand abstract information. In short, formal education does not suit young children’s way of learning. ← 形成对比 → Instead, for those children, the effective learning material is tangible objects, typically toys, and other physical surroundings with which they make contact. When they play, they make the contact through seeing, touching, feeling, smelling, and hearing, and thereby learn. In brief, theyperceive and acquire knowledge to comprehend the world. For example, those young children may be unable to understand the verbal description of the diverse weather conditions, and should go to the outdoors and play in the nature so as to feel the wind and the rain, to taste the snow, and to see the sunlight.
