【范文赏析】

【首段】 背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场

The contrivance of the television and the Internet has greatly diversified modern people’s cultural life，especially those children or teenagers. People differ greatly in their views as to whether or reading story books exerts a far more beneficial influence on those who are in the formative years compared with watching television or playing on-line games. My stand is that watching television and playing games is superior to reading story books.

【解析】

The contrivance of the television and the Internet has greatly diversified modern people’s cultural life 电视和网络的发明极大地丰富了人们的精神生活。

【二段】让步原题观点的合理性

Indeed，children can become the beneficiaries of reading story books. This debate reminds me of my little bother Paul. As a keen lover of reading, he is in the habit of reading extensively, he has already punished a number of stories through enthusiastic reading and constant writing practice. After all, first-class books are the summarization of excellent ideas and rich cultural deposits, so, I have to concede that reading excellent story books can stir one’s imagination, stimulate one’s creativity, strengthen one’s literacy and thus deepen one’s insight into life.

【解析】

Reading excellent story books can stir one’s imagination, stimulate one’s creativity, strengthen none’s literacy and thus deepen one’s insight into life. 阅读优秀故事书籍，可以激发人的想象力和创造力，增强人的读写能力及对于生活的洞察。

【三段】反驳原题观点之不合理性

Notwithstanding all that, we can never undervalue the benefits brought about by playing games or watching television. First, instructive television programs could also enact the role of educator. To illustrate, many prevailing talk show or speech contest programs are full of inspiring information. The anchors of those programs are extremely agile and eloquent, hence, TV viewers’ view of life could be greatly enlarged. Also, properly playing on-line games, by occupying time so constructively, makes teenagers contented, with no time for boredom. Meanwhile, playing computer games help develop the players’ intelligence and teamwork spirit because many challenging team games need strategy and cooperation.

【解析】

1. Anchors of those programs are extremely agile and eloquent. 这些节目主持人思维敏锐、口才俱佳。

2. Properly playing on-line games, by occupying time so constructively, makes teenagers contented, with no time for boredom. 适度游戏，通过有建设性地利用了时间，使人心满意足，再也没有无聊之感。

【尾段】再次亮明观点

In closing, it is a hasty decision to simply conclude that reading can benefit youngsters more in comparison with playing games or watching television.

【全文点评】小鹏哥原创范文只是雅思写作之一种。文无定法，观点无所谓对错，只要能够自圆其说。本文依然采取让步反驳写法，主题明确、逻辑清晰、文风华丽，首尾呼应，符合雅思写作之评分标准，可为考生赏析之佳作。
