※ 引述《november22 (小马儿要美梦成真^Q^)》之铭言:
: ※ 引述《mcshady (Feather)》之铭言:
: : 4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
: : Telephones and email have made communication between
: : people less personal. Use specific reasons and examples
: : to support your opinion.
: : In 20th century, the telephone and the Internet were invented
: : by humanity. The effects brought by the telephone and the
: : email deeply change our lifestyles, and thus impact our way
: : of communication. Nowadays, some people still prefer to use
: : the traditional methods, like handwritten letters, to
: : communicate with their families or friends for the reason that
: : the original mode is more personal; however, I don't agree
: : with that statement. My reasons for this point of view are
: : listed below.
: : First of all, my main reason to disagree with the statement
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: : is that the telephone and the email can save our time for
: ^^^^^^^^^^ 这一段或可删掉,直接写that後面的topic sentences即可,较为精简。
: : communication and increase the frequency to communicate
: : with our family or friends. It can be given a concrete
: : example that we can call our family or email to one of
: : our friends immediately when we desire to do that.
: : Due to the conveniences brought by the telephone and
: : the email, we can communicate with our family or
: : friends more frequent than using the traditional way.
: ^^^^^^^^ frequently 副词修饰动次
: : Second, perhaps one drawback to disagree the statement is
: : that the telephone and the email can't express our real
: : emotions and reveal the reality. For instance, to
: : communicate with other people by letter papers can
: : show your handwriting and present your mood in
: : writing the letter. Therefore, there are few people who
: : insist to send the Christmas cards in writing.
: : Third, even though there may be one or two disadvantages to
: : disagree the statement, the advantages far outweigh them.
: : Another principle reason for my inclination to
: : disagree with the statement is that the email also can
: : achieve the same result as the letter does. Furthermore,
: : contacting other people via the telephone, we can easier
: ^^^^^^^^ can + 原V (少了动词)
: : to communicate our feelings to the others though our
: : voices. For example, when you are arguing with
: : someone, it's more difficult to bottle your angry in
: : communication via telephone than via the letter.
: : That's why the experienced negotiators will avoid
: : communicating with the counterparty via telephone in
: : some unpleasant cases.
: : For all of the above reasons, in spite of the fact that there
: : may have one or two disadvantages to disagree with the
: : statement, I still consider that the advantages are more obvious.
: : To communicate with other people via the telephone or the email
: : may save our time for communication and increase the frequency to
: : communicate with our family or friends. In addition, the email
: : also can achieve the same result as the letter does, and the
: : telephone can easier to communicate our feelings to the others.
: ^^^^^^^^^^^缺少动词
: : Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the
: : conclusion that telephones and emails won't make
: : communication between people less personal.
: 您好:
: 您的架构非常清楚,以下有些小小建议与疑问。
: 1.您的句子通常都以 A1 + that A2 的方式呈现。然而有些句子如上面所述,是可以删除
: 让句子更精简的。(不过听说制式的ETS电脑写作批改软体,如果多写一些transitional
: word或that子句,可以把分数拉高,不知道是不是真的 Q_Q)
: 2. 感觉您的论点并没有特别强调「为何没有less personal」
: First:增加与家人和朋友的沟通频率(+) --> 便利性?
: Second:无法表达情绪及真实感(-)-->理解,确实有perosnal emotion的成分在
: Third: 提出对second的质疑(+)
: 其实我自己在写这个题目的时候,也对於「less peronal」是什麽意思感到困惑
: 一开始很难下笔。
: 想请教大家这类的文章是否需要先定义所谓「personal」是指什麽呢?
: 如我自己在写时会倾向将less personal 引导至 less privacy(电话跟email比较容易
: 遭到窃听或未经本人同意被转寄),然後举例。
: 我的写作老师说这样的逻辑推演是OK的
: 感觉写作最难的部分还是「逻辑」通不通 Q_Q
: 谢谢 ~*
您好:
非常感谢您的宝贵意见,漏字的部分可能是我从wordpad复制贴上时遗漏掉了...
针对你第一个问题,that子句的使用方式可能是我的坏习惯,刚开始我也没注意到
(感谢您的细心提醒),而且,这篇文章我是用之前在网路上看到的模版,
经我修改後(我是依Henry Liu大大的作文架构进行修改 注1),
第一次拿来套用的,可能还是会有许多缺陷跟瑕疵。
此外,多用替换字在我之前的学习经验跟工作经验上,是有其必要的,也常被写作老师(
也是美国律师)以及事务所的律师所要求。而that子句的使用的确较不符合我之前工作
的要求,因为在撰拟法律文件,特别是写Warning Letter时,
我们最重要的要求除符合逻辑外,就是要精简(这两个字经常会被律师一直Repeat),
所以在写TOEFL文章时,为了要增加句子的长度或是增加字数,
我就不会去将句子特别缩短或精简了,不过这样做是否可以增加作文分数,
可能要等我这礼拜天考完TOEFL,并等成绩公布後,才能得知了。
有关第二个问题,我写的三个理由,其中第一个理由是跟TOEFL电脑作文185篇(注2)中
的范文理由近似,主要是阐述传统的通讯方式(主要是指书信)无法即时传达,
甚至耗时许久,因此电话与EMAIL的方便性增进人们彼此间沟通的频率。
在查阅前述书籍後,他将"less personal"解释为「比较没有人情味」,
我刚开始也是对这个term有些疑问,最初也以为是跟privacy有关,但在思考过後,
我是认为题目的目的应该是要比较传统与新兴的沟通模式,如果仅是着重privacy,
那其实书信跟电话或EMAIL相较,都是有被窃取、窃听或未得同意而公开的可能,
因此,我舍弃有关privacy的论点。综上,我认为沟通频率的增加,以及立即的沟通,
可以增进两人间的感情(人情味),以情侣交往为例,每天数次通话(夺命连环扣除外)
会较每个礼拜的通信更能维系彼此的感情。
以上,如有错误,还请不吝指教,谢谢。
