Issue 文章的开头就是分析issue的观点，一分为二，支持与不支持。

并提出自己的观点，1〉直接支持所述观点开头：IntroduceIn today's complex and rapidly changing society,阐述现代社会的背景，或者该问题的历史发展过程。

然后就即将展开论证的各要素进行事先的提示，说明本人将在哪一些方面进行举例支持该论点。

（例子很重要，要有足够的例子来说明）正文：Body，First of all, Secondly，Admittedly(让步说明，但是目的还是要支持论点)结尾：Conclusion重写Introduction,形成首尾呼应。

范文：事实上，一篇好的Issue文章，不仅要摆出自己的论点及支持的论据，同时也要指出自己的漏洞所在，学会让步。

因此我们常常必然会将这种说法进行变化，变成两个优点和一个缺点，很多人担心这么做会weaken论证的说服力，但事实上这种担心是完全没有必要的。

相反，这种写法更能加强说服力。

ETS也认可这种写法，因此我们没有任何理由拒绝这种写作方法，在这个写法中我们务必注意一点就是很多参考书包括孙老师的范文，把Admittedly放在第二段，事实上，这极不符合美国人的逻辑思维，因此David强烈建议大家写作的时候按照David给的模板操作：In the first place …/To begin withIn the second place …/Furthermore/In additionAdmittedly / However, it should be admitted (confessed) that / However, there is no denying tha t…举举例子说说吧，顺便也讲讲写作思路的展开。

issue41.“Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science.”研究界的一些非主流领域，比如星象学、占卜学和意念及超自然探索，在社会中起到了很重要的作用，因为他们满足了人们无法从主流科学获得的需求。

题目告诉我们：非主流文化在社会中起到很重要的作用。

好，我们尝试用比较双方观点的方式开头：The author asserts that the nonmainstream areas of inquiry play a considerable part这个结构记下来，它和题目中的play a vital role in一起将来在大家的写作中必然要用的for its satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. 复述主题Critics of this idea argue that mainstream science could not be weighted.反面的观点，个人认为可以不要As for me, however, I will contend that 你的观点nonmainstream areas of inquiry are beneficial to the society to some extent非主流文化是有益于社会//in that引出两个原因，而这两个原因恰恰是下文的两个分论点such areas of inquiry can not only comfort human beings能够安慰人but they can also freely explain some phenomena which the mainstream could not explain解释现象.第二段：To begin with信号性标志词//, one of the major functions of the nonmainstream areas of inquiry is to comfort people who hold no confidence in their future.论点一：非主流文化的作用之一是能够抚慰那些对将来不抱有信心的人。

In this sense they strongly resemble the ，而且大家看到这里有个冒号，这暗示下文是对冒号前的同义重复，这个大家在学习填空的时候能够学到both serve as the spiritual home for individuals after they are torn by psychological frustrations imposed by the reality. 举例论证Take the famous movie "Ghost" as an example.后面是展开，此处省略。

Under this circumstance, it is obvious that we benefit from the nonmainstream areas of inquiry.总结，在这里很多人忽视这个总结，David觉得很不好，尽管这句话只是对TS的总结，但是从论证角度讲，这叫作有始有终。

第三段：From a practical point of view典型模板的套话//, as a part of human nature, the longing for the unknown and the inclination to conduct and explanation that is blessed to get the public acknowledgement.一句引语，看见下面however，知道真正的TS在后面。

Common sense tells us that the most convincing way is subjected to the mainstream science, however, when the mainstream cannot afford or be available同义重复, the rest approach is to turn to nonmainstream for help to satisfy people’s insatiable ap petite. TS重复In other words, nonmainstream areas of inquiry could understudy the role of mainstream science in the germinal phase.第四段：There is no denying that overemphasizing the importance of 可用作你的模板内容//inquiring nonmainstream should prevent people from actively struggle against fate or making effort for better future.提出一点弱点，但要记住你提出这样一个观点，后面一定要展开，有些考生不注重或者说没有足够的时间来写这一段，如果实战中没有时间展开，不妨删掉这一段。

如果写了，就要展开，这个是ETS的要求。

其实，展开很简单，举个身边的小例子一句话带过就可以。

第五段：写总结。

In conclusion, I hope it has been shown that….这个文章的作者是一位实战中至少得了4分的作文，拿出来讲的目的就是增加一下大家的信心，连这样烂的文章也能得4？但这是事实，以后我们讲连续分析两篇6分ETS给的范文，我们好好体会6分的魅力所在：感受范文结构特点和论证方式，同时介绍怎样收集好词靓句。

这里先不过多解释。

"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."There are some who would say that the media reflects the values of society. I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society. The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace. I offer two examples that serve well to illustrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral fibers in our society.The first medium that comes to mind is music. Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, andexpress new attitudes. Music is widely available to almost everyone in our society. To see how music has changed the values of our society, one needs only to look to the urban sprawl. Rap and gangster styles of music reach millions of city teens and young adults. It's message is quite simple- violence, drugs, and sex . Young people are constantlybombarded with the message that if you want something all you have to do is to take it. The values of human life, respect for elders and children have been lost. We have gangs and random killings in the streets of most cities in our country. Are these my values? They are most certainly not. This music does not reflect the values of this society. This music is the very core of this degradation of our values. How many tricked out gang cars to you see that don't have the annoying bass rumble of Rap music vibrating out of them? This music is part of the persona of a whole generation of people. It is just as much a part of their ego as the guns, drugs, and abuse of women. Another medium that is shaping the values of our society is advertising.Advertising is everywhere, on T.V., billboards, radio, even at the ballpark. Through advertising some vendors can create "values". To illuminate my point I will use tobacco companies as an example. Joe Camel has convinced millions of young people that it is cool to smoke. The Marlboro man has done the same. The audience is always the same. These ads are targeting young people. They have created the "value" among children that it is ok for kids to smoke. Again the values of society have been changed by a powerful media. I'm sure there are not too many parents out there who would want their children to start smoking. Another advertising media that will surely change the values of ours society is the Internet.The internet is really just the world's largest commercial launched under the veil of access of useful information. It will be interesting to see just how this new network that has brought the world together will affect our values. These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illustrate that the media can in fact change our values. As for me, I'll be out back smoking a Don Lino, on a beautiful trout stream while sipping a cold beer, waiting for the trout to rise and hoping a couple of those girls from the Coors commercial show up.2〉反对所述观点（基本同支持的方法）开头：IntroduceThough I fundamentally agree that most of the faculty in the universities should have the experience to participate the employment or real works outside the academic world, it is unwarranted to expend this broad assertion to embrace the all faculty in the college. Therefore, my contention toward this opinion is that……正文：Body就Opinion的观点展开，所以该Opinion最好不要太单一，反对的最好方式还是详细分类，一类人适合该论点，并举出合适的原因与例子。
