The Formula:(Hook+Transition+Points)

It is hard to deny that (opposite detail), and such a fact leads impressionable people to generate the opinion that (opposite response).

However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies, and it should be examined meticulously.

As far as (Point 1), (Point 2), and (Point 3) are concerned, I strongly hold that (our response).

Sample reasoning paragraph:(Coherent,?Adequate ,Consistent )

The Formula:

In addition / Not to mention that / Furthermore, (Fact 1-3). (Detail)

(Optional filler).It can be one or more of the following: Summary / conclusion / what if / a small example…etc.

The Ending Formula

In a nutshell, I maintain that (Your Response Paraphrase). Admittedly, as my favorite quote from (A famous person) goes, (Famous person says, “people have different opinions), and some people may oppose me. However, I believe they will compromise after being exposed to my article.

1.Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

?

It is hard to deny that historical and cultural sites are the symbols of a nation, and we should encourage visiting to promote our national influence. Such a fact leads impressionable people to generate the opinion that we should not charge foreign visitors more to visit these sites, as higher fees discourage visiting and hinder the influence of our culture. However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies, and it should be examined meticulously. As far as culture, economy, and feasibility are concerned, I strongly hold that we ought to have foreign visitors pay more for visiting the sites.

First and foremost, having foreign visitors pay more can help promote national culture, as such an act encourages local citizens to visit the sites. To be more specific, the money charged from foreign visitors can be used to subsidize citizens to visit with cheap or free entry; in addition, having foreign visitors pay more could not only save available “seats” for citizens, but collect a fund of restoration for a more appealing attraction to all visitors.

Furthermore, the fact that income generated from historical sites promotes local economy indicates that foreign visitors, who usually are able to afford a higher admission, should be reasonably charged more. Take the case of the well-known Cotta site located in the Terra town, which charges foreign visitors 75% more and uses the extra income on infrastructure. As a result, better roads are paved and houses built. Had it not been for the extra income from the site, the Terra town would never have been able to improve the life of its residents.

Nevertheless, a voice arises that since historical sites are the symbols of a nation, charging foreign visitors more is not feasible as higher prices discourage visiting and hinder the spread of our national influence. Ironically, site admission is usually a small part of traveling expenses compared with plane tickets and accommodation, and tourists usually travel to a foreign country with a sizeable budget; in addition, tourists travel long and far with the aim of exploring and understanding a new culture, so something as trivial as a few extra dollars on a ticket will not be enough to discourage them. Therefore, charging foreign visitors more is a feasible approach.

2.E-mail has had a huge impact on professional and social communication, but this impact has been negative as well as positive. Do the disadvantages of using e-mail outweigh the advantages?

AD:

It is hard to deny that text is not always able to convey the subtlety and diversity in communication, and such a fact leads impressionable people to generate the opinion that email has more disadvantages in professional and social communication as emails are usually composed in pure text, causing confusion and misunderstanding. However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies, and it should be examined meticulously. As far as effectiveness, economy, and social relationship are concerned, I strongly hold that email has brought more advantages.

Furthermore, the fact that email facilitates effective communication for free or low-cost indicates that it has brought great benefits to both our personal and professional life. Take the case of the changes we all witnessed in the past decades – in many cases email has replaced expensive international phone calls, and enabled us to nail a deal across the globe or keep a close connection with family members home and abroad. As a result, email not only improved our life but accelerated globalization, and has its role in the growth of international trade. Had it not been for email, we would never have been able to get so close to each other.

DISAD:

It is hard to deny that email communication appears economical as we usually do not have to pay a single cent for using it. Such a fact leads impressionable people to generate the opinion that email has more advantages in modern-day professional and social communication simply due to its convenience and low cost. However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies, and it should be examined meticulously. As far as culture, social relationship, and economic factors are concerned, I strongly hold that email has brought more disadvantages.

Furthermore, the fact that email brings convenience at the cost of social relationship indicates that it hurts both our personal and professional life greatly. Take the case of Tendollar, the company I work for and one of the biggest IT firm in the world: coworkers in the same building or even the same office rarely talk to each other face-to-face and almost always communicate via email or its upgraded version – instant message applications. As a result, a lot of times people do not even know how to properly talk at an official meeting or after work with their friends and beloved ones. Had it not been for email, we would never have become so distant from each other while we are so close to each other.

3.Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Opening

First and foremost, studying at university or college is more economical as students will be able to find jobs that are more financially rewarding. To be more specific, the world today runs at an unprecedentedly fast speed and various industries require talents with both excellent technical and soft skills. Elite universities are the places that provide an education that best meets such needs – a depth into a specific field with an atmosphere for communication and collaboration. Such a fact is further substantiated by studies worldwide including one conducted by NPR (National Public Radio) in 2017 – the only thing that is more expensive than attending college is NOT attending.

Furthermore, the fact that a college degree enables better long-term career growth indicates that higher education is the best route to career success. Take the case of my friend Alex, a typical college student among thousands, who once was a diligent student at TS College, a well-known college for its expertise in science and engineering. Alex honed both his academic and communication skills at TS. As a result, he received offers from multiple Fortune 500 firms upon his graduation. Today, he is in a highpaying job which he likes a lot. Had it not been for Alex’s hard work, he would never have been able to become an elite professional.
