练习一
The Importance of Economy
第一段：提出观点段
Economy is a Chinese traditional virtue , which is very important to the healthy development of the whole society . Indeed , whether in the past or at present , economy is praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society .
第二段：论证观点段
There are many reasons supporting this argument . As we know , it was just the virtue of economy that helped our country to get through the difficult periods in the days of founding of the new China . In modern society , though our economic level has been improved greatly , our rapid development to a great extent is at the cost of the overdue consumption of material resources . Besides , our country has a large population base , and our per-capita average of natural resources is low . Therefore , economy is still a necessity to our country .
第三段：总结观点段
We , as coege students , should take our responsibility and lern to be economical in our daily life . Indeed , in terms of our clothing , food , sheltering , and transport , much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power , water , coal , gas . What's more , we should put paper and second-hand texbooks into wise use . In sum , our daily life should be permeated with the sense of economy . Only in this way can we create a conservation-oriented society as soon as possible .
练习二
Internet or Newspapers ?
第一段：提出观点段
When it comes to what is the better way to get the daily news , there is no complete agreement among people . Some people take it for granted that internet has become their main source of daily news . However , others maintain that newspapers should be regarded as a better source .
第二段：对比论证段
Those people who hold the first opinion believe internet nwes can vividly bring dramatic events of singular importance before our eyes . In addition , they can actively search for the information they want . However , still others do not agree this . In their opinions , newspapers have incomparable advantages in terms of convenience . Besides , they argue that the news on newspaper has stronger authority than on the internet .
第三段：总结观点段
Weighing pu these two arguments , I prefer to the latter one , For one thing , newspapers can be read at any time in any place . For another , newspaper is so cheap that nearly everyone can afford it . Taking above-mentioned factors into consideration , I may reasonably conclude that newspapers are the better source to know daily news .
