题目：Economic progress is often used to measure a country's success. However, some peoplebelieve that other factors are more important. What other factors should also beconsidered when measuring a country's success? Do you think one factor is moreimportant than others?

The relative success of different countries is usually defined in economic terms.There are several other factors, apart from the economy, that could be used toassess a country, and in my opinion education is the most important of all.

学习点1：这个范文开头段第一句话还是简单的改写题目。Success本来做宾语，它在文章里变成了主语。 然后measure改成define

而economic progress 换了一种形式出现，in economic terms，这个基本上就是用词灵活的例子了。

学习点2：第二句话的前半句there are several factors….that ….对应题目的第一问，而后面的in my opinion，引出自己的立场

Standards of education, health and individual human rights should certainly be considered whenmeasuring a country’s status. A good education system is vitalfor the development of any nation, with schools, colleges and universities bearing the responsibility for

the quality of future generations of workers. Healthcare provision is also an indicator of the standard of living within a country, and this can be measured by looking at average life expectancyrates or availability ofmedical services. Finally, human rights and levels of equality could be taken into account. For example, a country in which women do not have the same opportunities as men might be considered less successful than a countrywith better genderequality.

学习点一：一个段落多观点，很多学生最纠结的莫过于连接词，firstly, secondly, finally 感觉也比较俗，换词吧，又怕不地道。

Simon的选择是第一个观点不用连接词，第二个用also，第三个用finally 学习点2：bear the responsibility 替换中国学生用烂的shoulder the responsibility

学习点3：medical services 和healthcare provision 的替换 学习点4：最后一句话使用了定语从句，两个比较句 一个是the same …as 一个是less… than 【6.18】

Many school leavers have a low opinion of the education system primarily because they do not see a clear link between what they learn at school and what they can apply in the real world. Even top performers are not able to find decent jobs or many of them have to receive extra training to prepare for the working life. This can be devastating especially when the cost of learning has been on the rise and many children from poor homes have used their parents' savings to finish schooling.

The teaching methods of the system are also to blame. Many schools have adhered to traditional teaching methods, such as rote learning and cramming, which can dampen students' enthusiasm for education. The learning process turns out to be an unrewarding, tedious process, in which learners cannot develop their talents. It is not easy to find any course that suits their interests. 【6.13】

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other haschanged because of technology.

In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships thatpeople make? Has this been a positive or negative development? It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people. Technology has affected relationships in variousways, and in my opinion there are both positive and negative effects. 学习点1：开头段的背景句总是大家发怵的地方，SIMOn的背景句只是简单地改写题目的背景句。 Technology 改变了位置

Have had an influence替换了题目的has changed Communication替换了题目的interact with

学习点2 遇到这种混合类的话题，SIMON只是简单地说了下文章会说什么，并没有说明立场，也没有说具体的观点

从这一点可知：作文开头段不需要复杂，简单即可

Technology has had an impact on relationships inbusiness, education and social life. Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly,services like Skype create new possibilities

for relationships between students and teachers. Forexample, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or

country. Finally, many people use social networks, likeFacebook, to make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face to face.

学习点1：有些同学经常问我多观点的段落怎么处理，Simon这段话是个例子。大家可以看到，哪怕是多观点，也不是一语带过，内容的充实是很重要的，看最后一句话，使用faceBOOK作为例子，并用定语从句形容PEOPLE，增加了段落的内容

学习点2：create new possibilities 替代我们常用的provide opportunitiesfor 学习点3：rather than后面可以加副词短语，留意和instead of的对比 学习点4：学习黄色标注的词伙

In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionisedcommunication between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been positive.

学习点1：结尾是折衷段的结尾，大家可以看看，先说明自己主要的立场，然后转折一下。

学习点2：positive outcomes的固定搭配 reached a new agreement 中文解释：达成共识

例句（朗文）：It is easier for two parties to reach agreement than for three. gone on strike 中文解释：罢工

例句（朗文）：Teachers went on strike last week to demand job security. littering the streets 中文解释：乱扔垃圾

例句（朗文）：The desk is littered with papers. impose a fine 中文解释：处以罚款

例句（朗文）：Councilswill impose fines on drivers who park illegally. 【6.12】
