在托福獨(dú)立寫作考試的時(shí)候，想要在短短的考試時(shí)間內(nèi)，找到文章最好的切入點(diǎn)，其實(shí)并不是那么容易的。所以，在備考過程中，我們的寫作練習(xí)，并不需要把所有的文章進(jìn)行完整的練習(xí)，而是要就題庫(kù)中的文章都建立好明確的論點(diǎn)和論據(jù)。現(xiàn)在，我們就為大家?guī)?lái)高中生是否應(yīng)該經(jīng)歷間隔年語(yǔ)料庫(kù)，希望能為大家能為大家的寫作備考帶來(lái)幫助。

【教育類】

Students should spend at least one year working or traveling before they go to university? Do you agree or disagree? 高中生應(yīng)該在上大學(xué)之前至少工作或者旅行一年，是否認(rèn)同?( 2016年3月13日)

【背景介紹】

The gap year = the Grand Tour “間隔年”，也叫“壯游年”或者“斷檔年”。是指從前英國(guó)貴族子女的遍游歐洲大陸的教育旅行。

【頭腦風(fēng)暴】

有誰(shuí)愿躲在避風(fēng)的港口，寧愿波濤洶涌的自由。我的心不在這里，我的心在高原上。風(fēng)景在別處，他鄉(xiāng)是故鄉(xiāng)。人生若可以完美，我愿意20而立，30而富，35歲退休，從此云游天下，做一個(gè)旅行美食作家。

一個(gè)男人要走多少路，才能真正被稱作是男人? 一只白鴿要翱翔多少海洋，才能安息在沙灘上? 一個(gè)人，要讀萬(wàn)卷書，行萬(wàn)里路，閱人無(wú)數(shù)，才能處亂不驚，見多不怪，你才有成長(zhǎng)的底蘊(yùn)。

青春容易令人迷茫和浮躁，青春同樣應(yīng)該勇闖天涯。年輕人，在應(yīng)該頭破血流的年紀(jì)，就應(yīng)該不念過去，不畏將來(lái)，志在千里，足行天下。

【作家立場(chǎng)】

成長(zhǎng)中的年輕人應(yīng)該被鼓勵(lì)去經(jīng)歷間隔年，這是最佳的方式讓他們拓寬視野，性格成長(zhǎng)，盡管我們不能忽視其潛在弊端。

【思路拓展】

【間隔年之利好】

① 兼職工作可以幫助年輕人積累工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，獲得自我成就感，使他們對(duì)于社會(huì)有了更加深刻的洞察，為未來(lái)的擇業(yè)打下堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。

② 旅行可以開拓視野、豐富知識(shí)、結(jié)交新友，鍛煉獨(dú)立性，這些對(duì)于未來(lái)的發(fā)展是有利好的。

③ 工作和旅行提高了人的社會(huì)意識(shí)，豐富了人生的閱歷，成熟了人的心態(tài)。

【間隔年之弊端】

① 很多孩子可能沉迷工作和旅行不再回歸校園，如果這樣，間隔年就失去了它的初衷。

② 青春期是人的求知欲望最強(qiáng)，也是學(xué)習(xí)能力和記憶力最強(qiáng)的寶貴時(shí)期，高中生不應(yīng)該耽誤一年的時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)離校園而去打工或是閑逛，否則，學(xué)業(yè)就會(huì)被耽誤。

③ 高中生沒有形成核心競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，很難找到工作。即使是找到，也很容易被欺騙和剝削。

【范文賞析】

【首段】背景介紹 + 爭(zhēng)議焦點(diǎn) + 作家立場(chǎng)

Such is human nature to explore the unknown and see the outside word，that is why a great many high school graduates are keen on traveling or working for a period of time before attending dream universities. Conflicting ideas clash in determining whether or not it is a wise idea to inspire high school leavers to experience the Grand Tour. As I see it, the merits of experiencing the gap year outshine its potential demerits.

【二段】 間隔年之利好

The most important educational benefit of taking a year off before starting university life is that traveling exposes young adults to stunning places and exotic cultures. It is one thing for teenagers to read about distant countries, but it is even better to enrich the experience of the world on one’s own. What one learns by associating with strangers and absorbing diverse cultures is something he or she could never acquire in the classrooms. For example，I made many congenial friends by self-travel to Tibet after finishing my schooling. This fantastic journey not only expanded my mind but also alleviated my stress triggered by tight academic study. Feasting my eyes on the stunning landscape really sweetened my life and lifted my spirit.

【三段】間隔年之利好

Virtually, youngsters can also become the beneficiaries of working as part-timers too. By that I mean, earning a living has a key role to play in helping one accumulate relevant working experience, train one’s crisis-solving abilities and deepen one’s insight into the society, which will lay a solid foundation for one’s future career ladder. To illustrate, via embarking on part-time jobs, I knew that money doesn’t grow on trees. Then, I studied even harder when coming back to campus.

【四段】 間隔年之弊端

Notwithstanding all that, we can never ignore the potential downsides caused by experiencing the gap year. First, the study might be delayed. Some school graduates are too immature to draw on their gap year, so they just waste time during that period and harvest nothing. Even worse, it is highly possible that some youngsters might end up never returning to campus. However，since academic qualification is extremely indispensable to every individual，my concern might seldom happen.

【尾段】再次亮明觀點(diǎn) + 總結(jié)理由

In closing, my stand is that to inspire young adults to take a year off before going to college is a two-edged sword. Yet youngsters should be encouraged to challenge themselves. This is one of the best ways to mature their thoughts and chasten their characters.
