　　Teenagers' Studying Abroad

　　1. 現在有很多青少年出國留學

　　2. 有些人認為這種做法是有益的

　　3. 我認為這種觀點是不對的

　　【范文】

　　Recently it seems that among the students who choose to study abroad, there are more and more-teenagers who study in high schools or even elementary schools. Many people, especially the parents, think it will certainly do good to their chidren because the independent life will make them learn confidence and perseverance. Moreover, the quality of overseas education is often higher, thus the child stands a better chance of entering a better university and getting a better job in the future.

　　After careful consideration, I have to say the above view is more than biased. On the one hand, early independent life is not necessarily good, if the child cannot receive proper guidance and tender care from both teachers  and parents. On the other hand, the educational quality is also a question—too many foreign schools aim at earning money. When the children come back, who can guarantee that they can adapt to the fierce competition here?

　　We can see clearly that although teenagers' studying abroad may bring favorable results, there are still a lot to worry about. It seems necessary for young students to make a careful investigation before going abroad.

　　【點評】

　　第一段指出當前某種普遍的做法，之后分兩點闡述人們支持這種做法的原因;第二段首句鮮明地指出自己反駁的意見，然后分兩點來闡述理由;最后一段進行總結，并請當事人在做出決定前多加斟酌。

　　范文首句點題，指出青少年留學這一現象，并給出支持者的理由，即獨立的生活會教會他們自信和堅持不懈，而且國外的教學水平會讓學生進入更好的大學、找到更好的工作。第二段給出反對理由。首先，早期獨立不一定是件好事。另外，太多的國外學校的目標是掙錢，所以它們的教學質量是令人質疑的。末段總結說青少年留學可能會帶來好處，但令人擔憂的問題也很多。

　　第一段第三句中的stand a better chance of表示“有更好的機會做某事”。第二段首句中的biased表示“偏激的，存有偏見的”;第三句中的aim at表示“目的在于”;第四句中的guarantee表示“保證”，adapt to表示“適應”，fierce表示“激烈的”，修飾competition(競爭)。
