審題思路

本題是一個典型的觀點選擇型AB的題目，對住校還是出去租房做出選擇 ，可以從以下幾方面入手 ：

思路1：選擇住校，說明住校有什么好處 ：比如同學之間的交流、學校信息的傳遞等 ；還可以簡單說明租房有什么弊端 ，比如安全問題、費用問題等；

思路2 ：選擇租房，說明租房有什么好處：比如培養(yǎng)獨立性 、與社會接觸等 ；還可以簡單說明住校有什么弊端，比如受到限制太多、沒有私人空間等；

思路3 ：住校和租房結合，說明這種做法有什么好處 ：這時候就將上述好處綜合起來說 。

范文賞析

Living in University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community?

I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life as juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Students’ needs change over four years, so should their housing .

引言部分 ：作者開門見山給出自己的觀點：前兩年住校后兩年租房，并概述了原因——學生需求變化導致 ，表明下文將重點說明這種組合的原因.

Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to? the way things are done. The freshmen and sophomores can interact more with other tudents, including not only your roommates, but?? everyone in the dormitory. Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities ?and networking with students and university administration.

Living off-campus, however, is a de?nite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and ? guring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students to ?nd out what other people think and feel.

主體部分 ：正文分為兩部分，分別說明前兩年為什么要住校和后兩年出去住有什么好處 。采取的論證手法主要是列舉原因和舉例說明。

In summary, I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.

總結部分 ：作者用in summary 連接上下文，再次說明這種組合對學生是最有利的。

亮點回放

1.? on campus: “在大學校內” ；中間有連字符連接時（on-campus ）用作形容詞，反義詞為off-campus。

2.? junior: “大三學生”；從大一到大四學生的說法分別是freshman，sophomore，junior，senior。

3.? so should their housing:“他們的住房條件也應如此”；這里要注意so sb. do和so do sb.之間的區(qū)別，前者表示“某人確實如此”，后者表示“某人也是如此 ”。另外這里的housing通常只有單數形式 。

4.? get oriented to:“以……為導向”；亦可以寫作be? oriented to/toward ，be involved in此處表示 “適應” ，近義詞為be adapted to/be adjusted to。

5.? interact:“與……互動”；常用搭配為interact with 。

6.? network:常用作名詞 ，表示“網絡” ，此處用作動詞 ，表示? “溝通” ，常與with搭配。該詞的使用體現了作者較大的詞匯量 。

7. administration:“管理” ，此處為? “管理部 門” ，與學校入學管理有關 的常用詞還有enrollment? （招生 ），registration? （注冊 ）等 。

8. lease:“租約”；通常同學們會使用rent ，但lease在此處更貼切 。

9. landlord:“地主、房東” ；如為女房東 ，為landlady 。

10. figure out:“想出、算 出、解決” ；此處也可以用make out代替 。

11. perspective:“看法”；常用搭配為from one s perspective（從某人的角度看 ，即某人認為 ）。
