例1：Do you prefer to live in a big city or a small city?
根據(jù)以上提到的萬能理由，我們能想到以下幾點(diǎn)：1)money-saving——living in a small city;2)life will be very convenient——living in a big city;3)less population and good for health——living in a small city。根據(jù)常識(shí)，我們可以很快想到第四個(gè)觀點(diǎn)：4)more entertaining places for relaxation——living in a big city。
針對(duì)這道題，如果考生的選擇是living in a small city，可以嘗試用以下的方式闡述理由：
A lot of people choose a big city to live in after they graduate from the college. To me, however, a small city may be a better choice. The first reason is money. Everything in big cities is very expensive, especially the housing, the price of which has reached an unaffordable level (How expensive). I don’t want to shoulder that much financial burden (Why I should save money). In addition, the pollution problem is very serious in many big cities. The increasing number of cars in big cities are dumping pollution into the air (How serious), which has become the NO.l health hazard for people living there (Why we should live in a place with less pollution).
當(dāng)然，這道題考生也可以試著從live in a big city的角度來說一說：
More and more people choose small cities to live in. To me, however, living in a big city will be a better choice. The first reason is that it’s very convenient to live in a big city. With a lot of supermarkets and shopping malls, shopping will be easily available. The public transportation is also very convenient, especially the subway. If you want to go somewhere in the city, you can take the subway. Besides, life in a big city is much more exciting. There are a lot of entertaining places like concert halls, amusement parks, and museums. They are good places for people to get some relief from all the stress from study or work.
例2：Do you prefer to do X sports like rock-climbing or traditional sports like basketball?
由于很多考生沒有體驗(yàn)過極限運(yùn)動(dòng)，所以這道題看上去不好闡述，但只要應(yīng)用一下“萬能”理由，我們便可以很快想出以下觀點(diǎn)：1)傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)比較省錢，省錢體現(xiàn)在運(yùn)動(dòng)器材及裝備上，可以舉一個(gè)潛水的例子;2)傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)比較安全，而極限運(yùn)動(dòng)太危險(xiǎn)，有時(shí)還會(huì)危及生命，可以舉一個(gè)登山的例子;3)傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)比較方便，運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)所比較多，比如說籃球場(chǎng)到處都是，而極限運(yùn)動(dòng)需要特定的運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)所。
I prefer traditional sports to X sports. First, doing traditional sports is more economical because it doesn’t need very specific or particular equipment which usually costs a lot of money. Second, generally speaking, the traditional sports are safe while X sports are dangerous. For example, bungee jumping(蹦極跳)is very dangerous for those with heart problems. Third, doing traditional sports are very convenient. You can find a sports field or basketball court anywhere. Sometimes you can even jog along the pavements around your house. But if you want to do X sports, you usually have to find a specific place far from your home. So I prefer traditional sports to X sports.
