u  Integrated writing task:

Topic discussed

关于Lie detector/Polygraph测谎仪

Notes

Reading: 原因

 

1. 测谎仪因为是brain activity scanner,所以撒谎的人无法改变自己的brain activity

2. 测谎仪可以用在法庭作证;

3. 测谎仪可以用在外交或商业谈判场合来测试对方说的是否是真话。

Lecture: 原因

 

1. Brain activity也可以说谎,因为说谎者可以用药来改变(这点不是很清楚);

2. Brain scanner测谎仪并不可靠,可能会把好人误认为说谎者,所以不能用在法庭作证上;

3. 将测谎仪用在外交场合不合理,因为有可能对方确实心里讨厌你,但是为了外交礼仪所以表面上撒谎。如果用测谎仪会造成不礼貌。

 

Glossary

polygraph n. 测谎仪

negotiate n. 谈判

diplomatic adj. 外交的

Essay question

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

It is more important to choose friends that have fun with than to choose friends that will help you when you need them.

话题提示

此题难度不大,选择朋友的标准,是选择能给你带来快乐的朋友还是能在你需要时给予你帮助的朋友。

 

若同意此观点,可以从朋友应该是一群跟你志同道合的人这点出发。你们可以相互交流,聊共同的爱好和话题,始终保持积极乐观的生活态度;此外,如果朋友能给你带来乐趣,就能帮你缓解生活中的压力。

 

若反对此观点,则可以强调真正的朋友的含义。患难见真情可以作为第一个分论点,真正的朋友能在你困难时施以援手,这对于我们而言非常重要,也恰好可验证你们之间的友谊;另外,也可强调朋友在你困难给予你的支持是非常难能可贵的,甚至你可以在朋友的帮助下获得最终成功。

Sample Answer

As a person live in society, we have to communicate with others and make friends with them. There is no doubt that no one can live without being connected to others. So, choosing friends seems to be a significant thing since we will spend many times with them. Then some people may consider choosing the person who can have fun with them because spending time with such person makes them feel relaxed. But as far as I’m concerned, I prefer to choose friends that will help me when I’m in trouble. My point of view will be substantiated by the following statement.

 

Admittedly, choosing a person who can have fun with you, to some extend, is a wise choice. A friend can be defined as the person who shares happiness with you. You and your friends must have a lot in common so that you can have fun with each other. What’s more, keeping fun in life is a significant part of keeping a positive attitude when you are under whelming pressure. Think of the situation in which after a busy day, you want to escape from the laborious work so you choose to having fun with your friends, then you will feel back up and full of energy again. That is to say, having fun with friends is a good way to release pressure.

 

 However, I tend to agree that if a person is unwilling help you when you get into trouble but just have fun with you, these people can not be regard as your friends. Since a friend is not only the person who share their happiness with you, but also give your a hand when you need your friend. As far as I’m concerned, I think the later characteristics of a friend is more important than the former, because there are so many people who can have fun with you even some strangers, but only genuine friends will help you when you need them. To illustrate it more clearly, let us look at an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Considering the situation in which your friend leave you alone when you feel upset or have trouble, you will feel really disappointed since your friend betray you at the moment when you need them most. As a result, I tend to agree that such person is not worthy to make friends with.

 

In addition, since human are social animal and they can not survive without others help, it seems that it is necessary for us to have a friend who can always give us support so we can achieve our goal within their help. A proper case is Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Corporation. He brings us into a new information period but his success also associated with another person, Allen Paul, who was Gates high school classmates and friends. Thanks to Allen Paul’s help, the Microsoft Corporation eventually built and produced so many useful products. And not only famous people need others help but also ordinary people. I used to have difficulties in studying math when I was in middle school, and it is my best friend Lily, who was the top student in our class give me a hand. She tutored me very carefully and eventually I got an A in the final examination. I really appreciate her and we still contact with each other frequently. So, since we can not achieve our goal alone, a friend who can help you seems important for us.

 

 In a word, a friend is the person who can not only share happiness with you, but also is the person who tries their best to help you when you need him. Getting along with such person could allow us both feel happy and achieve our goal easier. So, I think it is significant for a friend to help you, and to some extent, overweigh the significance of having fun with you.
