（一）對立觀點式

（1）給出兩個對立的事物或者一個事物對立的兩個方面，要求考生支持一方并進行說明。具體表述如下：

TOPIC: Some people like A; others like B. Which one do you prefer -- A or B? Give specific reasons and examples to illustrate your answer.

（2）給出兩個對立事物或一個事物對立的兩個方面，要求考生說明二者為什么不同或比較它們的優缺點，并給出理由。具體表述如下：

TOPIC: Some people believe that A while others consider B more appropriate. Give advantages and disadvantages of the two positions and explain which position you support.

對立觀點式的三種模板之一：

1．人們往往看到B的明顯優點而忽視了它的缺點，同時A的內在優勢沒有被重視。

第一段：To choose A or to choose B is something of a dilemma to the public because they sometimes are confused by the seemingly good qualities of B while neglect the genuinely good aspects of A.

第二段：[For B, people are often driven to believe that / It is quite easy for common people to CHOOSE B because of the obvious reason that] ____________. (As a proverb says, "Everything has two sides".) Although B does have its seemingly profound advantages, in the meantime [there lie [harmful characteristics/ intrinsic drawbacks] in it such as ____________ / it can be achieved only conditionally because____________] . Some [people/experts] [maintain/warn] that____________. However, it is often overlooked [by the public/most people]. (Therefore we have no complete evidence to suggest that B is always better than A.)

第三段：Unfortunately, the innate quality of A is often underestimated.

或：What is more, if you notice the invisible benefits of CHOOSING A, you can understand A more deeply. Here I would explain a few of the most important reasons for choosing A. 第一點原因。第二點原因。第三點原因。（列舉原因的句式見最后的"通用句型"）

第四段：Therefore from what we have discussed, we may safely come to the conclusion that CHOOSING AAA is a rather wise decision.
