当一道作文题站在你面前的时候，是不是瞬间变身天秤座了?觉得agree也有道理，disagree也有道理，但是无论选哪边都不好办。而且，正在选择综合症的你，这时候已经把刚才的那7个词忘干净了，真的一点残留都没有。

　　温馨提示，那7个词是development，details, organisation, cohesion, sentence structure, word choice, variety.

　　从Development开始，在这里并非发展的意思，而是拓展，让你的思路展开。也就是说，假如我们选择了立场，disagree, 咱不觉得有钱就是成功，那么必须说说 除了钱以外还有什么是成功的衡量标准。这时候就需要开脑洞地思考。其实不难想出来，还有名誉，知识，甚至，爱，或者 大家的尊重。是不是瞬间觉得更有话说了?从中挑选两三个吧，每个都是一个观点，都能写成一段。

　　这里有一个黄金原则，给观点，必给解释;给解释，必给例子。观点+解释+例子是优秀论述的典型结构。

　　这就是detail发挥作用的地方。比如，写“尊重”的那一段：I believe that being respected by coworkers indicates success. (观点)+Without that respect, money means little. (解释)+For example, I once did some work for a top attorney in a law firm. He made a very good salary, but he wasn’t a nice man. No one ever did work for him willingly. He ordered everyone around, and we didn’t respect him. In contrast, however, I had a wonderful band director in high school. He had to take extra jobs just to make enough money to support his family. However, his students had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. As a result, we were a very good band. (例子) + As a result, we were a very good band. In my opinion, my band director was more successful than the attorney was.(最好像这样说完例子再温馨提示一下刚才自己的观点)。

　　于是我们挑3个分观点，名誉，尊重，和知识，足够写成一篇三百多字的文章。顺便这也自然地构成了organisation，每个观点写一段，再加首尾段就刚好是5个段落，一篇好文。

　　比如：

　　Many people believe that a large income equals success.(说趋势) I believe, however, that success is more than how much money you make.(大白话说清楚我的观点) Some of those measures of success include fame, respect, and knowledge.(拓展解释)

　　Most people assume that famous people are rich people, but that isn’t always true.(分观点一) For example, some day I would like to be a famous researcher. Few scientists are rich by today’s standards.(例子细节) Still I will feel myself to be successful if I am well-known.(解释个人情感) Additionally, there are many famous humanitarians who are not rich. Mother Theresa was one. Certainly, no one would say she was not successful.(例子细节)

　　I also believe that being respected by coworkers indicates success(分观点二). Without that respect, money means little. (解释)For example, I once did some work for a top attorney in a law firm. He made a very good salary, but he wasn’t a nice man. No one ever did work for him willingly. He ordered everyone around, and we didn’t respect him.(例子细节) In contrast, however, I had a wonderful band director in high school. He had to take extra jobs just to make enough money to support his family. However, his students had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. As a result, we were a very good band.(还是例子细节) In my opinion, my band director was more successful than the attorney was.(重申强调观点)

　　Finally, I think one of the most important indicators of success is knowledge. (分观点三)Wealthy people don’t know all the answers.(解释) For example, in the movie Good Will Hunting, the only person who could solve some complex problems was the janitor. He knew a lot, and decided what he wanted to do with that knowledge rather than just think about money. (例子细节)In my opinion, he was extremely successful.(重申强调观点)

　　When we think of history, there are few people that we remember simply because they were rich.(重申强调观点) Overall, we remember people who did something with their lives - they were influential in politics, or contributed to science or art or religion.(总结) If history is the ultimate judge of success, then money surely isn’t everything.(升华)

　　这一番分析其实已经讲了那7个词中的4个(development，details, organisation, cohesion)，这4个词的基础是母语的组织能力，也就是中学语文作文的思维能力。若要说区别，那就是西方的语文表达更倾向于直白和具象。总体来说，这种语言拓展和组织能力，对于中学语文尚可的考生来说，是可以通过多看几篇官方文章和自己练习就能在两周内学会的。
