高分句型与论证技巧

解决方案表达

常见误区与修正
-
词汇重复
- 错误：People should do more exercise to avoid a sedentary lifestyle.
- 优化：Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, can counteract the harms of prolonged inactivity.
-
数据过时
避免使用10年前的数据,优先引用2020年后的研究。
-
泛泛而谈
- 弱：Fast food is bad for health.
- 强：A Harvard School of Public Health (2023) study found that daily fast food consumption increases type 2 diabetes risk by 27%.
实战应用范例
Some believe governments should regulate unhealthy food advertising to combat obesity. Discuss both views.
高分段落：
Proponents argue that strict advertising controls are essential. For instance, Chile’s 2016 ban on junk food TV ads during children’s programming led to a 28% drop in sugary cereal purchases (University of Chile, 2023). Conversely, opponents claim such measures infringe on corporate freedom. However, with global obesity healthcare costs exceeding $2 trillion annually (WHO, 2023), the economic rationale for regulation is compelling.
