下面的材料旨在豐富學(xué)生在是非問(wèn)題寫作方面的思想和語(yǔ)言，考生在復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)可以先分類閱讀這些篇章，然后嘗試寫相關(guān)方面的作文題。
對(duì)于素材中用黑體字的部分，特別建議你熟讀，背誦，因?yàn)樗鼈冊(cè)谡Z(yǔ)言和觀點(diǎn)上都值得吸收。學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言的人應(yīng)該明白，表達(dá)能力和思想深度都靠日積月累，潛移默化。從某種意義上說(shuō)，提高英語(yǔ)寫作能力無(wú)捷徑可走，你必須大段背誦英語(yǔ)文章才能逐漸形成語(yǔ)感和用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行表達(dá)的能力。這一關(guān)，沒(méi)有任何人能代替你過(guò)。
因此，建議你下點(diǎn)苦功夫，把背單詞的精神拿出來(lái)背誦文章。何況，并不是要求你背了之后永遠(yuǎn)牢記在心：你可以這個(gè)星期背，下個(gè)星期忘。這沒(méi)有關(guān)系，相信你的大腦具有神奇的能力。背了工具箱里的文章后，你會(huì)驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)：I can think in English now！
