2．压力大也来源于自我欲望的膨胀：电视媒体给我们开阔了视野，让我们想要得到更多（电视话题可以套入使用）

young people now can not enjoy life better than the old generation.

Our life are not better than our grandparents. Our present lives are not easier and comfortable.

（如果可以也可以写一个辩证段落：享受生活与时代的关系不大，这与一个人的性格有很大关系，如果一个人积极，外向，乐观，则更容易享受生活，那么无论在什么时代，无论什么样的生活状态，他都可以很好的享受。）

2．然后说明这么多事情让我们无法喘息，怎么可能有时间去关心毫不相关的事情。

3．要知道我们现在压力大也来源于自我欲望的膨胀：电视媒体给我们开阔了视野，让我们想要得到更多（这仍然是老年人年轻人话题里的），所以能不去看那些虚无缥缈的东西就不去

18 学习态度类

2007.02.24 (2007.12.15)*

Do you agree or disagree with the statement: it is more important

for students to understand ideas and concepts than to learn facts? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

1. the importance of learning the facts.

Facts are better related with the real world which students are trying to study. 我们学习facts能让学生们更好的了解世界的真实面貌，对事实研究的好，能够更好的与生活接轨。 比如我们告诉学生社交礼仪的原则是微笑，热情，大方，就不如实实在在的交给他们怎样在一个晚宴上选择适合的座位，点恰当的菜品，穿着什么样的晚礼服。我们告诉学生去美国以后要不卑不亢，艰苦奋斗，为国争光，就不如实实在在的告诉他们去了美国怎样和美国人打招呼，握手，怎样坐公交，怎样买票，怎样租房子。

（类似这样的具体的例子是非常讨喜的写作方式，具体，易操作而且容易被理解和接受） 1．

The importance of understanding the ideas and concepts.

Ideas and concepts是一种高度一些的理论，这些理论往往都是通过无数的细节和事实总结出来的具有指导性质的理论。很多理论精辟，指导性强。比如，你告诉一个学生现在就应该关掉计算机了，就不如告诉他，只要电脑发烫或者运转失灵的情况下，就应该关掉计算机，那么他们往往可以在以后的日子里都能够更准确的判断操作。 3．所以要学的facts or ideas 要根据具体的情况定，不能说只学一

个而不学另外一个，idea来源是facts, 而facts 又能够很好的实现idea的操作性.
