三、对立比较

09.1.15 Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet, television). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

此类题目的特点是：两方面在某种层面上属于对立关系，可以分别讨论其利弊，以达到比较的效果。就该题而言，“跟老师学还是从其他资源上获得知识”是个老话题，分别讨论教师的作用和其他来源的好处，进行对比便是应对此题的最好办法，有时双方互为优劣，仅提及好处即可。

2010.2.11 Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both of views and give your opinion.

四、分类说明

09.4.30 Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. Others think the purpose of museums is to educate, not to entertain. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

这类题目常让考生觉得棘手，两个方面似乎都有道理，但处理不好又会“搬起石头砸自己的脚”，前后论述自相矛盾。这个时候，如果能够对题目进行分类说明，便豁然开朗。

该题主要讨论的是“博物馆的功能”是教育还是娱乐，科技、自然博物馆及一些主题博物馆如杜莎夫人蜡像馆都是属于后者，而历史、军事乃至革命博物馆就有前者意义。

A hundred years ago, people think that human race is steadily improving in every area of life. Nowadays, there is no certainty of this case. In which areas do you think we have made important progress nowadays? In which areas do you think we still need to make progress?

针对这四种类型的分析方法，考生可利用历年真题进行分析练习，做到“胸有成竹”，在下笔之前有个清晰明确的脉络，做到“事半功倍”。
