2018年12月15日真题（一个整篇）：
Some countries have no legal requirements on the styles of people’s housing or office buildings. Therefore, people can build houses or buildings the way they like.Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 利弊都要提及，区分孰多孰少
【Introduction】
When there is no law regulating the architecture of either residential or commercial buildings, there would be more drawbacks than the benefits. Unfortunately, thedetriments are obvious, and the only merit is tangential.
【Body部分的第一个Paragraph，让步 —— 以退为进】
Admittedly, when the styles of housing or buildings are not restricted, the diverse aesthetic needs of the residents or tenants can be met. Meanwhile, the unrestrained choice of styles can make certain practical needs met. Living in such houses or working in such buildings, people are delighted. // It is delightful/pleasant to live in such houses or to work in such buildings.
【Body部分的另一个Paragraph，讨论作者的立场】
Of the many problems, that such a structure may be a safety hazard is most alarming. The designs are likely to suffer defects in their functionality, and these flaws may be life-threatening. The desired styles may be pursued at the expense of certain details that ensure safety. Even though the errors may not be deliberate, they may occur without the law serving a reminder or warning. Less serious but important, another problem is that the neighbors may be annoyed. When a building is erected with no legal guidelines instructing the constructors, it may disturb the neighboring buildings. 【针对disturb 展开：“how”】 For example, if the building is too tall, it blocks the sunlight; if it stands too close to the next building, it causes intrusion; and some of its particular features may affect the traffic.
【Conclusion】
In conclusion, in those countries where no law regulates the styles of residential housing and office buildings, the lack of legal requirements is more likely to be disadvantageous than to be advantageous. The only benefit is hardly a redeeming point.

12月13日真题（“非-Argumentative”类型）：
Many young people today know more about international pop and movie stars than about famous people in the history of their countries.Why is this? What can be done to increase young people’s interest in those famous people in the history of their countries?
【Introduction】
Among many of today’s young people, celebrities from foreign countries are better-known than historic figures in their own countries. For example, Tom Cruz may be a bigger name to Chinese teenagers than Zhan, Tianyou, a well-accomplished engineer in the history. A number of factors are behind this upsetting phenomenon, and fortunately, the problem does not have to persist. 喜欢套话么？就背这句。
【Body部分的第一个Paragraph，讨论原因】
First, exposure of different degrees makes the difference in people’s awareness. Celebrities’ stardom is created by publicity, such as endorsement of everyday commodities, frequent appearances in movies and shows, and even deliberate leaks of private affairs. The marketing may be so overwhelming that young people cannot miss those entertainers. By marked contrast, historic figures do not have such privileges. 写作法：洋红色标出的部分是通过“重复”（但是在表述上替换）来建立语句间的联系 As a matter of fact, they would be more famous if there were more posters, films and TV shows about them. In addition to the external factor, 写作法：写作法：the external factor指代上一个原因，从而让两个原因在行文结构上有联系；语法：倒装 behind this distinction lies the internal factor that young people prefer amusement to the heavy subject. Pop and movie stars are entertaining and cheering. In comparison, historical people and their experiences may provoke stressful thoughts.
【Body部分的另一个Paragraph，讨论对策，略】
【Conclusion】
In conclusion, in many countries, young people show a greater interest in international celebrities than in the historic figures in their own countries. Although this is unpleasant, it can be changed. 喜欢套话么？就背这句。
