31、思路。 第一种思路，把重点放在“不同的看法”上，然后略写自己的观点(支持其中一个观点，或者当“和事佬”，说具体问题具体分析)。这时，要重点考虑：支持请家教的观点有什么?(激发学生学习兴趣、培养学生交际能力、提高成绩、充分利用时间，等等。)反对请家教，有什么理由?(没有必要，课堂上学好的话，不必请家教；作用不大，如果学生自己没有主动性，请厂家教也没有用；占用过多学生自主学习、游玩的时间，不利于学生的健康发展；等等。) 第二种思路是把写作重点放在“我”的看法上。就如范文那样，先简要介绍存在的不同看法，然后着重论述自己的观点。当然，自己的观点可以是支持，也可以是反对，但总的说来，要言之成理，要有逻辑
32、性，沿言要衔接、连贯、自然。 Analysis 1 对应 outline的第 1条，简要说明现象 2 对应outline的第 2条，说明存在两种不同的看法。 3 对应 outline的第 3条，提出自己的看法。文章剩余部分就用来论证自己的看法。 4 6 是3 的支持句。用 first， second 关联。 5 7 分别对两个分论点予以展开； 8 用 in one word总结自己的观点。二、BPart Reading (总题数：1，分数：70.00)B Wal-Mart/BWal-Mart is more than just the worlds largest retailer.
