资源描述
找分论点的方法:
绝大多数大作文话题都可以通过以下几个方面进行扩展(简称论据扩展十二大法则),现列举如下:经济(economy)、就业(employment)、时间(time)、空间(space)、心理(psychology)、生理(physiology)、环境(environment)、教育(education)、文化(culture)、科技(technology)、情感(emotion)和个人权利(human right)。
我将通过列举一些例题来印证这十二大法则的实战性。
Some people think tobacco should be made illegal in the same way as other drugs because the products containing it are addictive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
通过审题,此题问是否同意烟草行业被取缔。同意则要列举烟草的一系列缺点,反之不同意,可列举其优点。我们马上来看看十二大法则,当然不是每一项都应用,但是大多数都可以适用。

就业:offer the opportunities of employment in various fronts, including manufacturing, transporting, selling, governing, for residents

Disadvantages
经济: money-consuming for smokers
生理: be addictive to it, harmful to smokers’ health, leading to lung cancer
环境: air pollution potential hazard of fire
空间: passive smoking / second-hand smoking

用了上述办法,扩展出来的论据就能更加全面,有条理。下面我再列举一个题目,来做brainstorming。
Many people are optimistic about the 21st century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes to the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their optimism?
通过审题,此题无非就是我们21世纪是利大于弊还是弊大于利,所以只要列举21世纪发展的优缺点就可以了。我将通过之前介绍的十二大法则来进行素材的扩展。
