接著上一周我們討論【如何在第一段讓考官定義我們為一個高分選手】的話題，本次我們將討論首段的第二句。要回顧首段總結構和第一句應該怎麼寫的同學可以點擊以下連接進行複習👇
乾貨 | TASK2的第一段就決定你是高分區（7+）還是低分區（6-）[第一章]
在雅思作文task2的第二句，在agree/disagree或discuss both views這兩類文章中，我們需要使用while/although sentence來陳述兩方觀點。在這裡要注意的是，while/although在學術寫作文章中，出現在首段，表達的學術意義是「從客觀的角度去陳述兩方觀點」，並不是理解為「儘管」或「同時」，即，它並沒有任何傾向性。大家不要用中文去理解英文哦。
Some people think that students should study in groups. Others, however, believe that students should study alone. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.A/ While studies at Havard Business school show that people who are studying at university should be learning as a team, others indicate that they must be independent.
這裡，我們需要注意準確使用reported speech，例如例子中的show, indicate。怎樣才能夠準確使用呢？看英譯。藍色部分是paraphrasing。其實，很多同學使用同替，但在這裡建議進行paraphrasing不要過於依賴同替，因為大家都這樣。可以使用從句的方式帶出，如people who are studying at university 就代替了題目的students。
Some people think that the purpose of education is to produce good citizens and workers. Others, however, believe that the purpose of education is to help young people achieve their personal ambitions. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.B/ While the aim of education is considered to be to grow talents for governments, others argue that what education should do is to encourage students to reach their goals.
我們同時可以考慮使用被動。被動在學術英文中表達客觀陳述。在使用被動中，兩個關於finite和non-finite的句型我們是需要考慮使用甚至組合的。
It is said...
例：It was reported that the army was crossing the frontier.
...said to be...
例：The army was reported to be crossing the frontier.
這兩個句型使用的時候，中文翻譯理解將是，「據說」，「大眾認為」，「某些人認為」等。使用這些句子更是為專業和學術。因為雅思的寫作是客觀性主導的。假如施動者為以上那些people, the public 等，建議不要出現，會顯得不專業和帶有主觀色彩，尤其在body段。
Some people think that the developments in agriculture, such as factory farming and creation of new types of vegetables, have brought us more benefits than problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?C/ It is argued that while agriculture developing is improving people’s lives, it is also having a harmful effect on the public.
分詞從句屬於non-finite clause，它的使用讓文章看起來更學術。尤其是一些關係句的主動或被動分詞從句。但使用關係句的分詞從句的時候，要注意並非所有的finite都可以轉成non-finite。關於更深入的學習可以從TopG的寫作課STAGE1學習到。詳細可以下拉聯繫課程老師。
Some people think that video games are harmless fun. Others, however, think that video games have a negative effect on players. Discuss both thee views and give your own opinion.(1) D/ It is said that while teenagers』 habits are mainly affected by patents, this dominant post is gradually being replaced by media and internet.
While teenagers』 habits are thought to be mainly affected by patents, this dominant post is gradually being replaced by media and internet.
練習時間到了，請大家寫出以下問題的首段的前兩句，根據這兩期學習到的知識。
Some people believe that video games are harmless fun. Others, however, think that video games have a negative effect on players. Discuss both there views and give your own opinion.
Museums and art galleries are not necessary because people can see the historical objects and works of art in there places on television or on the Internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
