Holding different opinions even towards a simple topic is quite common; yet it’s quite embarrassing to think differently from most of your classmates. Feeling alone, left-out or even helpless, one can easily give up his idea and join the mainstream. However, I won’t “give in” if I believe I am right to some degree.
A few weeks ago, our class were talking about the plan of the graduate-trip. Most students were in preference to organize the trip by our own, believing that with teachers’ company the trip would be less interesting. Brave and determined, I threw out my view that safety was much more important than mere fun. After showing them some terrible accidents of traveling without supervising, they agreed with me in the end.
So when you find out you have a different idea, please don’t lose heart. Instead, stick to it, and prove it right.
点评:
本文最显著的特点是词汇以及非谓语动词形式的灵活运用。文中出现了三个非谓语动词的形式:(1)Feeling alone, left-out or even helpless… (2) believing that with teachers’ company… (3)Brave and determined,…非谓语动词形式的有效运用丰富了文章句式。文章运用了不少高级词汇,如:mainstream, to some degree, supervising, left-out等。当然,文中也有一个词组in preference to使用错误,本文中应该改成have a preference for,但这个错误是为了尽量使用较高级词汇所致。全文中高级词汇的高频使用体现了作者扎实的语言功底。此外,文章论述有据、说理有力,值得学习。
