1． 观点子类范文
观点类文章中最常见也是最重要的就是观点子类, 它是我们理解其他子类的基础和出发点. 这类文章的英文题目通常是My View on X(X代表某种事物)或X本身.

My View on Opportunity
1. 有的人认为机会极少的，另一些人则认为人人都会有某种机会. 2. 你的看法如何? 写出你的观点，说明你的理由并且适当举例. 3. 在你的文章结尾处不要忘记写出你的结论.
Different people have different views on opportunity. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world, while others argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity along his life route.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. For one thing, I firmly believe opportunities are everywhere around us. No person will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because ―every dog has his day‖. For another, since opportunities are transient, we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Just think of Newton, who discovered the Law of Gravity when many people had watched an apple falling ahead of him.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there are quite a few opportunities in our society. Only if we get prepared can we seize the opportunities instead of letting them slip by, just as the saying goes, ―Opportunities are only for the prepared minds‖.

My View on Job-hopping
1. 有些人喜欢始终从事一种工作，因为… 2. 有些人喜欢经常换工作，因为… 3. 我的看法
People’s opinions are always different once they talk about job-hopping. Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what’s the point in changing to another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.
Many people think otherwise. On the one hand, if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave. On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.
My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-developing information era, has become more than common and acceptable. If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger. If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it. So why not make a change?

My View on Cloning
1. 有些人赞同克隆, 因为… 2. 有些人反对克隆，因为… 3. 我的看法
As we all know, the general public has been debating whether cloning is a blessing or a curse. Scientists have made advances in cloning, where they can reproduce a whole animal from a single cell. Some people support cloning, saying it can lead to advances in medicine. Other people oppose cloning, saying it’s morally wrong.
Those in favor of this research believe that it could help reproduce endangered and even extinct species all over the world. We have long been dreaming of a world
2
full of different species and this dream will eventually come true as a result of the cloning technology. Those opposed to this type of research argue that it goes against ethics especially when it comes to the cloning of human beings. What’s more, this research may produce offspring with genetic abnormalities.
Personally speaking, I approve of cloning only if it is placed under strict control. For one thing, the purpose should be limited to advances in medical research. For another, human cloning should be completely banned. Only when we exercise extreme care over this delicate matter can we be sure to put it on the right track.

My View on Changing the Major in University
1. 现在大学生换专业的现象是很常见 2. 我对这一现象的看法
Recently it has become a common phenomenon for college students to apply for changing the major in college. In this way, they will be switched to another college on campus if their applications are approved.
Although it may bring unfavorable consequences, we can be sure to conclude that this practice is favorable on the whole. To begin with, some students can’t choose their major because their entrance examination scores are not satisfactory enough, and the new system of changing major gives them a second chance. Moreover, once they are learning their favorite major, they will probably be more confident and diligent than before. In the third place, students learn largely the same basic courses during the first one or two years, and changing major will not bring learning difficulties.
Weighing the pros and cons of such a new trend, we can naturally arrive at the conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only gives students a second chance to choose their major, but also prepares them for the coming competition.

Advantages and disadvantages of bulk stores
1. 有些人认为大卖场利大于弊 2. 有些人认为大卖场弊大于利 3. 我的看法
Nowadays, bulk store are playing a more and more important role in people’s daily life. However, people’s opinions are still divided on this point. Those who are in favor of bulk stores claim that it has a lot of advantages. Firstly, people can usually buy products at a lower and more reasonable price, mainly because these stores combine selling with storage, which reduces the cost significantly. Secondly, there are all kinds of products in such stores—we are able to buy nearly all that we need in one store. Thirdly, bulk stores always put dozens of ―key products‖ on sale. Last but not least, many of such stores offer free bus service to carry buyers to and fro.
Those who are opposed to the development of bulk stores hold that disadvantages are many. In the first place, the price is not always that low except those ― key products‖. Sometimes it is higher than that of the grocery stores and convenience shops. In the second place, it is sometimes time-consuming to go shopping in bulk stores ----sometimes it is crowded at both the shopping racks and the checkout. Finally the free bus is not satisfactory: sometimes it is not on time and sometimes it is too crowded.
All in all, we can safely come to the conclusion that the pros outweigh the cons. The past several years witnessed the fast development of bulk stores along with national economy. A brighter future is awaiting us if we make good use of bulk stores.

Positive and Negative Aspects of Sports
1. 体育运动的好处
2. 体育运动可能带来的副作用 3. 我参加体育运动的体会
There is a good side and a bad side to everything, and sports are no exception. Generally speaking, the positive aspects can be listed as follows. To begin with, people will have a healthy body and a sober mind if they take part in sports regularly. In the second place, we can also lean cooperation while making good friends. Most important of all, sports will teach us good qualities such as courage, determination and perseverance.
However, as every coin has two sides, the negative aspects are also obvious. For one thing, too sports will make us feel exhausted. For another, old people and children should be most careful to choose proper sports. Most important of all, some sports are dangerous in nature such as boxing, surfing, and mountaineering. Consequently amateurs should receive guidance and company if they want to have a try.
As for me, I am a sports lover and my favorite sport is winter swimming. First, I become stronger and stronger both in body and in mind. Second, I make friends with a lot of teachers and schoolmates. What’s more, I become confident in myself – I will never give up in front of difficulty.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Selective Courses
1. 选修课的优点 2. 选修课的缺点 3. 我的结论
The discussion about selective courses has never stopped in the past few years. Let’s have a look at its advantages and disadvantages before drawing the final conclusion.
5
The biggest advantage of selective course is its variety. Students can choose any course for which they have a special liking. What’s more, selective courses often bring groundbreaking research findings or up-to-date breakthroughs, which are hardly found in normal courses. Last but by no means the least, students can never fail to find peers with the same interest, which enables them to explore a special field together.
However, the negative effects are also obvious. To begin with, some students choose selective courses only to earn some credits or obtain a certificate----they never put their heart into learning the subject. In the second place, selective courses take up too much time and it is difficult for students to make both ends meet. They are listening to lectures most of the time, and do they still have the time to think by and for themselves?
Up until now, we can see it clearly that selective course is not beneficial or harmful in itself. The key lies in the user----so long as we can make use of it properly, it can be most helpful for us in many respects.

Is pressure a bad thing?
1. 压力是常有的事
2. 人们对压力有各种不同的态度 3. 我对压力的态度
6
Pressure is such a common matter that every one of us may meet it from time to time. People hold different views towards pressure in their life. Some people are so sad and frustrated at the great pressure on their shoulder that they will never accumulate the courage to perform their daily tasks successfully. Other people, who view pressure as the motivation on the way towards bettering oneself, will shrug it off or even turn it into a blessing, a positive factor which encourages him to excel from time to time.
Personally, I agree with the second group of people. Just as Mary Case once said, ―No pressure, no diamonds.‖ So long as you are not living in the vacuum, how can you avoid feeling pressure in life? If you cannot learn to face pressure, how can you become mature? Few persons can be successful if they feel no pressure, and pressure can teach us much more than idleness. From now on I will not be too much frustrated at pressure in my life. On the contrary, I will brace up and stand up to the next challenge, because the most glorious moments are those days when I overcome the feeling of pressure and face life’s wonders and adversities with courage and determination.

Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
1. 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试，理由是… 2. 也有人持不同的意见, … 3. 我的看法和打算
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Many people welcome it with applause and enthusiasm, singing high praise of such a band-new test. Other people, however, hold that it is untimely for us to do so because the overall English teaching and learning practice has remained at a relatively low level on this occasion.
As far as I am concerned, I am most happy to attend such a test of oral English ability. On the one hand, personally speaking, such a test will help me develop a more balanced habit of English learning, casting my attention beyond reading and writing and onto speaking. After repeated efforts, I expect to develop my communicative skills and accumulate self-confidence, which are surely needed in my future career. On the other hand, this new test will be beneficial to the college English teaching as a whole in that it lays more emphasis on listening and speaking.
How shall I sum up my feeling upon hearing the news of this new test? What I
7
want to do most at present is to seize every chance to improve my oral ability so as to achieve outstanding performance in the coming test of my own.
◇ 提问子类摸板三
When we talk about whether …, we will be most surprised to find that the present situation is so complicated. On the one hand, …. On the other hand, ….

Are college students thrifty?
1. 有些大学生很节俭
2. 另有一些大学生却不节俭 3. 这一现象的原因
When we talk about whether college students are thrifty or not, we will be most surprised to find that the present situation is so complicated. On the one hand, many students do not cherish their money at all: some buy expensive mobile phones and laptop computers, some spend money on video games or Internet chat, some go to restaurant and bars, others go traveling with friends. On the other hand, many others count every penny in daily life: they only buy life’s necessities, they never go shopping in department stores and they never go to any recreational places.
Three reasons, in my eyes, can account for this phenomenon. In the first place, the general atmosphere in a university is a decisive matter----if everybody admires a luxurious life, you may be tempted to keep up with the Jones. In the second place, the teaching method is also quite important----if teachers teach by their action that thrifty is an indispensable virtue, many students will not waste their money any more. Finally, the general social atmosphere also plays an important role----if the reality can always testify the proverb ― A penny saved is a penny earned‖, students will not hesitate to cherish their money.

Read Selectively or Extensively?
1. 有人认为读书要有选择 2. 有人认为应当博览群书 3. 我的看法
Whenever people read, they will come across the problem of whether they should read selectively or extensively, and it is natural for different opinions to arise. Some people think we should read selectively. They say that there are hundreds of millions of books in the world that we can’t read all of them. Furthermore, there are also many bad or vulgar books, which will cause great harm to the psychological and spiritual health of readers. Therefore, we should be careful to choose healthy and instructive books.
But other people think otherwise. They argue that in an age when science and technology develop at a fantastic speed, we should not only read books in our own field but also read extensively in both social sciences and natural sciences. Only when we read extensively can we keep up with the pace of social development. In my opinion, we should combine selective reading with extensive reading. First, we should make a careful selection of the books, which are most helpful to us. Second, once the selection is completed, we should read as extensively as we can. Only in this way can we make good use of books.

Currently, the major dilemma which most students face upon graduation is to continue postgraduate studies or to find a job immediately.
Those who decide to go to work immediately cannot wait to put what they have learned into practice. They believe that only by application can a person master knowledge in the real sense. Most important of all, they can live on their own and have the feeling of accomplishment for the first time.
Other people, however, believe that if a person wants to be an expert in a specialized field, four years in university is far from enough. The best way is to choose a direction and study it in depth. It is not late at all when they go to work, because they start at a much higher level.
No matter which choice a student will finally make, he has to be extremely careful to look into his unique situation and consult the predecessors for their advice. He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to turn it into reality.
