【答案解析】[参考范文]
In the last few decades, there has been a craze of plastic surgery. An increasing number of people, not just celebrities, are taking this kind of surgeries. Regarding this issue, opinions vary from person to person.
Taking the following factors into account, I am opposed to plastic surgery. In the first place, the operation is definitely harmful to one"s health to various degrees. Sometimes, it may cause physical damages and even deaths, which has been often reported. In the second, the cost of plastic surgery is high for most people and such investment may not be worth it. Some people even undertake heavy financial burdens due to the high operation fees. In the third, improvements in the appearance are not equal to improvements in personalities or capabilities. They would be not more likely to succeed than others even if they had better faces.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that there is no need for healthy people take plastic surgery. We had better leave our faces or other parts unchanged, because they are gifts from our parents. What matters most is not what we have outside but what we have inside.
[解析] 1.主题与类型:提纲式作文,题目已经给出主题是关于整容,提纲提示为英语,要求分别介绍、明确立场并给出原因、得出结论。这是一篇典型的立场选择型文章,不能利弊两方面都分析。文章可写三段。
2.结构与构思:
第一段:首句介绍整容现象的背景,笼统指出越来越多的人整容。段尾使用观点因人而异的功能句“...opinions vary from person to person”。
第二段:段首句用表明立场的功能句“...I am opposed to...”或“I am in favor of...”,接下来用两三个原因来解释,反对的原因就是整容的弊端,支持的原因就是整容的好处。
第三段:首句使用立场分析结论功能句“...we may safely draw the conclusion that...”,重申一下主题,不能重复前面的句式和用语。
