观点对立型文章通常将正面论据与反面论据结合起来,并通过鲜明的对比,引导人们对某个话题进行辩证思考。观点对立型文章通常先阐明主题,然后阐述对立的两种观点,再表明自己的立场、态度及理由,从而形成“主题—一方的观点及理由—另一方的观点及理由—自己的看法”的文本结构。阅读观点对立型文章,能培养思维的逻辑性、批判性和创造性。

1. 巧用彩色笔细品文章。借助彩色笔对文章中的不同部分做标注。例如,用红色笔标注观点,用蓝色笔标注理由,用绿色笔标注结论,用黄色笔标注好词好句。写作时,根据彩色笔标注的情况进行仿写。

2. 利用“TCCA原则”搭建文本框架和读写支架。引出话题的Topic,提出正、反面观点的Claim、Counter?claim,作者的观点(Authors opinion),简称 “TCCA” 。“TCCA原则”是观点对立型文章常采用的一种写作视角,但有些文章并未完全包括TCCA的四种要素。在阅读观点对立型文章时,利用“TCCA原则”有助于我们快速地理解文章。在写观点对立型文章时,我们应恰当利用“TCCA原则”,同时考虑如何拓展段落,并运用正确的时态和人称。

Is online learning as good as face?to?face learning?

网络学习和面授学习一样好吗?

Nearly everyone has some experiences of learning in a face?to?face classroom environment. Because of that, were often more comfortable learning in environments that look like classrooms. However, online learning has become more and more popular in recent years. Is online learning as good as face?to?face learning?

Learning online has a lot of advantages. As the learners are attending the class in their own environment, they can control it better. They can adjust lighting, heat and noise levels to ones they are comfortable with. The more comfortable they are, the better they can learn. They also avoid the issue of potentially disruptive classmates.

The work done in class can be much more focused online, too. When group work is held through text or video chats, its easier to concentrate on the topic at hand. It has been suggested that online, a group will put much more effort into the task at hand. Feedback given online can be in?depth and consistent.

However, therere some things that online learning just cant offer. The learner has to be fairly dedicated, as while he is learning online it can be much easier to disengage from the task at hand. Its also harder to check if theyre paying attention to the instructor.

The same goes for group work. Face to face, every participant needs to contribute, as its much more obvious if they dont. Being physically in the same room together creates a much stronger bond between team members, too.

Ultimately, learning is a social activity. While the Internet has made communication easier, its not always as effective as face?to?face meetings. Learners can get to know each other better in a physical space, while online theres always a sense of being disconnec?

ted from their peers.

Looking at these points, its easy to see a case for both online and face?to?face learning. Both are effective in different ways. Online learning is fantastic for those who otherwise cant access education at all due to location or illness. Face?to?face learning is better for bonding, and allowing learners to learn from each other as well as their instructors.

Overall, online learning is as good as face?to?face learning, but it works best in certain situations. In the vast majority of cases, face?to?face learning is the way to go.

(二)精彩表达

1. While the Internet has made communication easier, its not always as effective as face?to?face meetings. 虽然网络使沟通更便捷,但是它不总是和面对面会谈一样有效。

本句中,While引导一个让步状语从句,its not always as effective as face?to?face meetings为主句,句中not always构成了部分否定结构,意为“不总是”。常见的部分否定结构还有not all.../all...not(并非都)、not both.../both...not(并非两个都)和not every...(不是每个都)。

2. Learners can get to know each other better in a physical space, while online theres always a sense of being disconnected from their peers. 学习者可以在现实空间更好地了解彼此,而线上空间总是有一种和同伴脱节的感觉。

本句中,while连接了一个并列句,表示前后句的对比,意为“而;可是”。通过对比体现了网络学习和面对面学习的差异。常见的表示对比的单词和词组还有:instead、however、whereas、on the other hand、on the contrary、as opposed to等。

3. Online learning is fantastic for those who otherwise cant access education at all due to location or illness. 网络学习极其有利于那些因地理位置或疾病无法接受教育的人。

本句中,otherwise意为“以其他方式;用别的方法”,相当于if there is no online learning,引出因为地理位置或疾病而丧失面对面教育机会的一类人的情况。
