本周末考试的题目，可谓是没有新意，但小有难度。类似题目在题库中几次出现，但是对于不熟悉历史考题的烤鸭们而言，想找到本题目的相关论点还是需要认真思考一番的。环球教育（原环球教育）颜王团杨亮老师以范文来为大家分析一下。

　　题目如下：

　　Some people think  individuals are more and more independent on each other, while others think people are more and more dependant. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 20161105

　　此类题目，咋一看是较为常见的discuss both

　　views提问方式的题目。但是定睛一瞧，不难发现其实题干中一些人的观点和另一些人的观点是截然相反的，因此可以不用分开讨论。

　　Modern societies  are advancing at an unprecedentedly striking rate, and similarly people's lives are being changed at every second. Undeniably, individuals are enjoying a relatively more independent lifestyle than before.

　　开头段首先直言这个世界变化太快，同时人们的生活方式也日新月异。不可否认的是，人们正在享受于一个远比以前独立的多的生活方式。

　　To begin with, usage of high-tech products in our life brings us more independency. Only decades ago without convenient transports and home appliances people needed to get help from others quite often to deal with some basic problems in their daily life, such as carrying a heavy liquid natural gas tank to the kitchen, which is around 30 kilograms that cannot be lifted by one person. Advanced natural gas pipeline system helps people get rid of physical work like this. This is to say, without others' help people can also enjoy a comfortable life with utilizing high technology. In addition, good social order and abundant social resources make people get daily necessities to support their basic life easily. In agricultural societies, people had to live and work together to make a living. However, in modern societies, what people need is a job, and with the payment they can buy whatever they want for their life.

　　本段为主段，全文分成四段，用两个主体段（主段和次段）来论述，本段从正面论述人们生活方式越来越独立的原因。

　　On the contrary, some objectors might argue that people are communicating with each other more frequently than before, which means they are much more dependent to each other. Nevertheless, this is totally wrong, inasmuch as people's frequent communication results from their choice of having a more independent life. To enjoy impendency, a growing number of people choose to live by themselves or with a

　　core family. In fact, in ancient time they communicated with other much more as

　　they all lived under one roof.

　　本段为次段，通过让步的方式来论证反方观点的错误，进而是全文的论证逻辑一致。

　　In a word, our modern society makes an independent life possible for everyone, and offers people more options of life.

　　结尾段再次点题，并无其他赘述。笔者自身感觉本文还有很多不足和欠缺，欢迎大家斧正。
