Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
应对上面这个题目,学生在正文写了如下一句话: For example, a student who study abroad should use a foreign language in a lot of aspects as he or she is involved in a specific environment. He or she need to use the foreign language to write papers, discuss professional questions with tutors or classmates, take part in social activities and so on. 我们首先会关注到以下这些问题: * 举例冗长,足足花了约60个单词,结果就是,段落重心偏移至这个“小故事”上,而不是例子前的分论点,例子就失去了它作为论证证据的作用; * 措辞口语化,选词随意; * 表述模糊,包括a lot of aspects, a specific environment等。 教师修改后如下: New language sets up children for their future academic study. Acquiring English, a global language, for example, enables them to continue tertiary education as it has become the major language of monographs and academic forum. 解析: * 信息浓缩,丰富语义,让例子核心信息成为句子的主干:acquiring English enables them to continue tertiary education,这样语义丰富的一个长句子印证前面的观点; * 信息浓缩,“写论文、和导师讨论专业问题、参加社会活动”等一系列流水账式的内容,改写为“English has become the major language of monograph and academic forum”; * 选词,词汇的选取要避免口语化,词义要; * set up for 为…作准备 * acquire习得 * enable 使能够 * tertiary education 大学教育 * monograph 专著 * academic forum 学术讲座
