高分范文及解析

Introduction

In most cases, many people argue that the most crucial factor of success is to receive tertiary education, while recently some regard this argument as indefensible since things have changed. Personally, the key to this debate lies in the definition of “successful”.

解析

看似雙邊討論題型，但細(xì)看觀點(diǎn)：一邊是the best way，一邊是nowadays no longer，兩邊都出現(xiàn)極端詞，且觀點(diǎn)互斥。這題其實(shí)是個(gè)單主體，討論“高等教育是否是成功的最好途徑”。本題有點(diǎn)難，基于現(xiàn)實(shí)描述，高等教育確實(shí)是目前最好的方式，但要論證best，卻不是一件易事。可以從抽象名詞successful下手，定義不同，決定立場(chǎng)不同。

老題新改，其他相關(guān)題目：Some people believe that studying in a college or university is the best way for students to prepare for their future career. Others think they should leave school as soon as possible to develop their career through work experience. Discuss both views and give your opinion.（2013.03.09）Some people believe that academic qualifications always bring success, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.（2021.02.25）

? tertiary adj. <英>（繼初等、中等教育之后的）高等教育的,大學(xué)教育的

? indefensible adj. 站不住腳的

Body 1

Traditionally, success is defined as winning honourable distinctions in the domains related to scientific research or academia, which will further secure high reputation and social status. In this case, academic qualifications are a must. As such honorary titles are few and far between and thus hard to come by, the competition for the few positions available each year is extremely intense given the sea of applicants applying. To have an edge over their counterparts, those applicants are required to obtain certain research findings and win approval of scholars in relevant fields. To this end, higher education is the most fundamental but vital way to polish their knowledge. Even pragmatic jobs like doctors or nurses also ask for a firm theoretical foundation.

解析

將成功定義為：在科研相關(guān)領(lǐng)域里獲得極高的榮譽(yù)頭銜，進(jìn)而享有一定的聲譽(yù)和社會(huì)地位，那么大學(xué)教育是最好的，也是必須的途徑。

? distinction n. 殊勛；榮譽(yù)稱號(hào)

? secure vt. 導(dǎo)致；贏得

? few and far between 少之又少

? come by v. 獲得

? intense adj. （活動(dòng)）緊張的，認(rèn)真的，激烈的

? given prep. 考慮到

? have an edge over 比…有優(yōu)勢(shì)

? counterpart n. 對(duì)應(yīng)的人（或物）；對(duì)手方

? to this end 為了達(dá)成這個(gè)目的

? polish vt. 打磨；潤(rùn)色

Body 2

However, in the fields irrelevant to academic circles, being successful is in no need of university education for the reason that theoretical knowledge is no longer the prerequisite. Sportsmen can serve as a compelling example. For the sake of attaining prizes in both national and international games, swimmers should learn how to speed up their strokes and adjust breaths under systematic training with scientific instruction instead of acquiring the knowledge regarding how muscles and lungs function. It is a commonplace that game winners are not those knowledgeable experts in biological domains. In addition to make achievements in work or study, either sound relationships among others or peaceful lives are also defined as success nowadays, which does not require any educational qualification. Worldwide, there are an enormous number of people leading a steady life with their beloved ones without getting a diploma. 

解析

1. 在非科研領(lǐng)域，比如運(yùn)動(dòng)員，獲得獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)未必需要上大學(xué)，只需要專業(yè)的訓(xùn)練；

2. 成功不局限在工作層面，有人的成功定義為：擁有美滿的關(guān)系，也不用上大學(xué)。

? prerequisite n. 前提條件；先決條件

? stroke n. （游泳或劃船的）一次劃水

? function vi. 運(yùn)作；運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)

Conclusion

In conclusion, since people have diverse definitions of the word “successful”, tertiary education is not always essential at present.

解析

重申觀點(diǎn)
