2009年12月英語六級作文范文點評(新東方)

　　對立觀點的文章一般一年不會超過一次。但繼09年6月《關于名字---有人覺得重要有人覺得不重要》之后，這次又考對立觀點。看來四、六級委員會對這種文字游戲式的新八股越發青睞了。

　　這種八股可以按照提綱寫三段：支持的理由、反對的理由、我的觀點。但最好在前面加上一個引言段。引言可以是簡單的對全文觀點的總結，也可以是相關爭議的背景介紹。支持送孩子學藝術的理由不外乎成就藝術天才和培養興趣愛好;反對的理由不外乎孩子壓力過大和順其自然等。到結尾段其實已經沒什么好說：該說的在主體兩段都說過了。所以只能總結加建議。

　　對于這樣陳腐的模式作文，很多考生可以對之以模式。但如果不屑，具備實力的考生也還是可以寫出點新意。

　　以下附范文：

　　Should parents send their kids to art classes?

　　A child’s world is supposed to be fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. Unfortunately, this is not the case for some kids, especially for those born and bred in cities --- their joys are dimmed and even lost because a majority of them are forced to attend various art classes.

　　Some claim that it is beneficial for children’s development. They might have their reasons because most parents are convinced that their kids are gifted gifts from the god. They presume that the earlier their children are exposed to arts, the more likely it is to find out the artistic potential hidden in them. Even if their children fail to become another child prodigy like Lang Lang or Li Yundi, the interests in arts, say, in music, cultivated in childhood will be of great value in their whole life.

　　In spite of the possible benefits mentioned, I, like others, am strongly against it. The major harm is that it might deprive children of their pleasure to play after school. Faced with competition and contest for better universities, most children are buried in piles of homework. Forcing them to art classes will leave them less time to enjoy the beauty of the nature or to find their talent in things they are really interested in.

　　To sum up, childhood is a time for children to play as they wish. Rather than cramming knowledge, it is more important to pave the way for their desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.
