1、表達觀點的句型：

to my mind…

as far as I can see…

what I think about…is that…(主語從句+表語從句)

my opinion of…is that…

on the one hand, it’s…; but on the other hand, it’s dangerous…

2、表達原因的句型：

this is mainly due to the fact that…

the best explaination I can give is that…

the reason I say this is that…

3、表達舉例的句型：

take…for an example/as an case…

to prove/illustrate my point of view/what I said/mean, I ‘ll give the thing that…as an example.

For one thing…for another thing…

The best example I can give is that…

* 注意積累和CARD有關的例子或小故事，representitive & sensational。

二、正反對比論證法

思路：Pros & Cons

What are the strengths and weaknesses of western culture?

1、 humanitarianism人道主義

2、 right & liberties or freedom

3、 environment & sustainable development

4、 individuality & diversity發展個性的同時保護多樣性

5、 economic independence

people with disabilities

women

三、經典廢話論證結構

This is a tough one/question…

I’m not sure that for me…

But I dare say that some other people do believe…

講義P10：

Examiner: what do you see as the pros and cons of computers as a form of entertainment?

Candidate: Oh, that’s an interesting question…I’m not sure that for me computers have any advantages over books, for example. But I dare say that other people would say they were much more exciting than books. Other than that, I can’t think of any disadvantages, to be honest!
