觀點對立型文章通常將正面論據(jù)與反面論據(jù)結(jié)合起來,并通過鮮明的對比,引導(dǎo)人們對某個話題進(jìn)行辯證思考。觀點對立型文章通常先闡明主題,然后闡述對立的兩種觀點,再表明自己的立場、態(tài)度及理由,從而形成“主題—一方的觀點及理由—另一方的觀點及理由—自己的看法”的文本結(jié)構(gòu)。閱讀觀點對立型文章,能培養(yǎng)思維的邏輯性、批判性和創(chuàng)造性。
1.巧用彩色筆細(xì)品文章。借助彩色筆對文章中的不同部分做標(biāo)注。例如,用紅色筆標(biāo)注觀點,用藍(lán)色筆標(biāo)注理由,用綠色筆標(biāo)注結(jié)論,用黃色筆標(biāo)注好詞好句。寫作時,根據(jù)彩色筆標(biāo)注的情況進(jìn)行仿寫。
2.利用“TCCA原則”搭建文本框架和讀寫支架。引出話題的Topic,提出正、反面觀點的Claim、Counter-claim,作者的觀點(Author's opinion),簡稱“TCCA”。“TCCA原則”是觀點對立型文章常采用的一種寫作視角,但有些文章并未完全包括TCCA 的四種要素。在閱讀觀點對立型文章時,利用“TCCA原則”有助于我們快速地理解文章。在寫觀點對立型文章時,我們應(yīng)恰當(dāng)利用“TCCA原則”,同時考慮如何拓展段落,并運用正確的時態(tài)和人稱。
Is online learning as good as face-to-face learning?
網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)和面授學(xué)習(xí)一樣好嗎?
Nearly everyone has some experiences of learning in a face-to-face classroom environment.Because of that,we're often more comfortable learning in environments that look like classrooms.However,online learning has become more and more popular in recent years.Is online learning as good as face-to-face learning?
Learning online has a lot of advantages.As the learners are attending the class in their own environment,they can control it better.They can adjust lighting,heat and noise levels to ones they are comfortable with.The more comfortable they are,the better they can learn.They also avoid the issue of potentially disruptive classmates.
The work done in class can be much more focused online,too.When group work is held through text or video chats,it's easier to concentrate on the topic at hand.It has been suggested that online,a group will put much more effort into the task at hand.Feedback given online can be in-depth and consistent.
However,there're some things that online learning just can't offer.The learner has to be fairly dedicated,as while he is learning online it can be much easier to disengage from the task at hand.It's also harder to check if they're paying attention to the instructor.
The same goes for group work.Face to face,every participant needs to contribute,as it's much more obvious if they don't.Being physically in the same room together creates a much stronger bond between team members,too.
Ultimately,learning is a social activity.While the Internet has made communication easier,it's not always as effective as face-to-face meetings.Learners can get to know each other better in a physical space,while online there's always a sense of being disconnected from their peers.
Looking at these points,it's easy to see a case for both online and face-to-face learning.Both are effective in different ways.Online learning is fantastic for those who otherwise can't access education at all due to location or illness.Face-to-face learning is better for bonding,and allowing learners to learn from each other as well as their instructors.
Overall,online learning is as good as face-to-face learning,but it works best in certain situations.In the vast majority of cases,face-to-face learning is the way to go.
Ⅰ.閱讀自測
Ⅱ.語言汲取
(一)觀點類的核心表達(dá)
1.利弊表達(dá)
Learning online has a lot of advantages.網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)有很多優(yōu)勢。
The more comfortable they are,the better they can learn.他們越是舒適自在,他們就能學(xué)得越好。
When group work is held through text or video chats,it's easier to concentrate on the topic at hand.當(dāng)小組活動是通過文字或視頻聊天(的方式)進(jìn)行時,人們更能專注于手邊的話題。
However,there're some things that online learning just can't offer.然而,有些東西是網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)無法提供的。
The same goes for group work.這個情況也同樣適用于小組工作。
Looking at these points,it's easy to see a case for both online and face-to-face learning.看了這些觀點后,顯而易見,網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)和面授學(xué)習(xí)各有其理由。
2.網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)與面對面學(xué)習(xí)
online learning 網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)
face-to-face learning 面授學(xué)習(xí)
attend the class in one's own environment 在自己的環(huán)境中上課
adjust lighting,heat and noise levels 調(diào)整光線、溫度和噪聲水平
text or video chats 文字或者視頻聊天
concentrate on the topic at hand 專注于手邊的話題
put much more effort into the task at hand 投入更多的精力在手頭的任務(wù)上
feedback given online 網(wǎng)上給予的反饋
disengage from the task 從任務(wù)中脫離
pay attention to the instructor 關(guān)注老師
make communication easier 使溝通更便捷
create a much stronger bond between team members 在團(tuán)隊成員間建立更緊密的聯(lián)系

3.其他
in-depth 深入的
consistent 一致的
fairly dedicated 相當(dāng)專注的
a social activity 一個社交活動
the way to go 可行的發(fā)展方向
(二)精彩表達(dá)
1.While the Internet has made communication easier,it's not always as effective as face-to-face meetings.雖然網(wǎng)絡(luò)使溝通更便捷,但是它不總是和面對面會談一樣有效。
本句中,While 引導(dǎo)一個讓步狀語從句,it's not always as effective as face-to-face meetings為主句,句中not always構(gòu)成了部分否定結(jié)構(gòu),意為“不總是”。常見的部分否定結(jié)構(gòu)還有not all.../all...not(并非都)、not both.../both...not(并非兩個都)和not every...(不是每個都)。
2.Learners can get to know each other better in a physical space,while online there's always a sense of being disconnected from their peers.學(xué)習(xí)者可以在現(xiàn)實空間更好地了解彼此,而線上空間總是有一種和同伴脫節(jié)的感覺。
本句中,while 連接了一個并列句,表示前后句的對比,意為“而;可是”。通過對比體現(xiàn)了網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)和面對面學(xué)習(xí)的差異。常見的表示對比的單詞和詞組還有:instead、however、whereas、on the other hand、on the contrary、as opposed to等。
3.Online learning is fantastic for those who otherwise can't access education at all due to location or illness.網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)極其有利于那些因地理位置或疾病無法接受教育的人。
本句中,otherwise 意為“以其他方式;用別的方法”,相當(dāng)于if there is no online learning,引出因為地理位置或疾病而喪失面對面教育機(jī)會的一類人的情況。
Ⅲ.語料拓展

__________________,it does not always mean you are committed to the class.
2.這就是唯一的那點小缺陷,否則將是圓滿的成功。
This is the one downside. __________________success.
3.面對面學(xué)習(xí)通常會有統(tǒng)一的進(jìn)度,而網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)可以讓你根據(jù)自己的節(jié)奏和能力學(xué)習(xí)。
