| 纯正英语写作进阶班：第一期ElementsofWriting之Argument | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
学写作是个积累和循序渐进的过程，本节目由浅入深，涉及的技巧也适用于各位的dissertation 和CV，虽然全是英文，大家也挑战下自己的英语水平吧。近两期要学习如何build your own argument，加油啦。 1.1 Argument (论点) Task 1: Please study the organization of the following paragraph by yourself. Currently, roads are often congested, which is expensive in terms of delays. It is claimed that building more roads or widening existing ones, world ease the congestion. But not only is the cost of such work high, but the construction process adds to the congestion, while the resulting extra road space may encourage extra traffic. Therefore construction extra roads is unlikely to solve the problem, and other remedies, such as road pricing of greater use of public transport, should be examined.
Task 2: Please fill in the blanks to see how the same ideas could be presented to arrive at a different conclusion Currently, roads are often congested, which is expensive in terms of delays. It is claimed that building more roads is costly, increases congestion and will encourage extra traffic. This may be partly true, but the alternatives are equally problematic. Road pricing has many practical difficulties, while people are reluctant to use public transport. There is little alternative to a road building programme except increasing road chaos.
