TravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourney,they

usuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]

Therearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosing解析：本文是“现象-

原因分析-自己的看法”类作文。对于大学生自助游的原因分析是本作文

的难点。范文给出厂三个方面的原因：自助游省钱；更有趣；更自由。

对于每一个原因，范文也都户以扩展，都是“主题+扩展”的结构。读者在

自己写作时，重点也是要训练自己分析问题的能力。大学生选择自助游，

还有别的原因吗?如何用英语表达出来?比如：自助游更有挑战性；通过

自助游，可以培养学生自己的策划能力；可以拥有个性化的旅游线路，

得到其他游客没有过的经历；等等。说到“我的看法”，可以表示支持，

也町以表示部分支持，甚至可以表示反对。无论是什么态度和看法，都

应该给出理由——即使是对第二段提到的理由总结一下也可以。

［1］介绍现象，以outline第1点为依据。

［2］用以引出原因的常用句型。

［3］［5］［7］onereason...anotherreason...thethirdreason…层次分明。

［4］对［3］加以扩展，⑹对［5］加以扩展。［4］和⑹使用不同的句子结构,

使句式富于变化。

［7］同样是prefer,本句用prefer...ratherthan,与［1］的prefer...to有同有

异。

［8］提出自助游是goodchoice的看法。

［91对⑻给予支持，也是前面一段话的小结。

th解析：本文是一篇六级考试中常见的议论文，要求考生就“强化训练

课程是否有用”这个话题展开论述。根据题目要求，考生应首先描述大学

校园存在很多的强化训练课程广告。然后提出支持或反对强化训练的原

因.最后阐明自己的观点，做出总结。

一、大学校园有很多强化训练班的广告(advertisements,intensivetraining,

attracttheeyeballs)

二、支持者支持的原因

1.可以系统学习(learnsystematically)

2.跟风，担心落后于他人(followthetrends,fallbehind)

反对者反对的原因学习需要积累，参加培训班只是浪费钱财(lasting

learning,money-consuming)

三、作者观点学习需要积累，培训班不是捷径只是增补(accumulated

learning,complement)

(l)attracttheeyeballs“抓人眼球,吸弓I人注意”。

(2)followthetrends"随大流"。

(3)fallbehind“落后”。

(4)yield”产生收益”,此处yieldlittle意为“产生很少的成果”。

(5)money-consuming“费钱的”。注意这种组词结构的使用。

(6)counton”指望，依靠”。

(7)serveascomplements"作为增补
