第3章 三选一类
答题思路
作答三选一类题目，考生通常没有时间解释另外两个选项的缺点，所以主要谈自己选择的观点有什么优点即可，最好能提出两个理由，每个理由可用1~2句话来解释。如果考试的时候只能想到一个理由，可以用“提供例子”的方法来作答。第一句需要表明自己选择的观点，接下来可以说明选择这个观点的理由，并举出具体事例来证明自己的观点。
例如下面这道题：
Your university has acquired a piece of land next to the campus. There have been three options for the use of the land. Which do you prefer?why?
– the athletic facilities and stadiums;
– a park with nature trails;
– centers for students and hotel for campus guests.
该题是询问学校旁边的空地用来做什么更合适，可以从3个选项中选择自己认为合理的一种来回答。一是修建运动设施和体育馆，这一点可以结合体育运动的好处来说明；二是拥有自然景色的公园，这一点可以结合环境的改善来说明；三是学生活动中心和接待客人的宾馆，这一点可以结合这类设施的实用性来谈。
首先在开头要说明自己选择的观点，示范答案中选择了修建体育馆。If my university has acquired a piece of land, I would suggest them to build athletic facilities and stadiums.接下来阐述选择修建体育馆的理由，可以结合体育锻炼的好处来谈。一是体育馆可以为学生们提供放松的场所。
First, they are under great pressure. If there is a stadium next to the campus, students can have a place to relax a bit when they are tired.
二是运动可以帮助学生保持健康。
Second, doing sports can help students maintain their health.
可以在每个理由下面用1~2句话加以解释，最后形成如下的完整答案。
If my university has acquired a piece of land, I would suggest them to build athletic facilities and stadiums. Because doing sports are really beneficial for students. Most of the time, students are busy with their study, and they also have lots of social activities to attend. First, they are under great pressure. If there is a stadium next to the campus, students can have a place to relax a bit when they are tired. Also, doing sports can help students maintain their health. They can play basketball or do other types of sports in the stadium. It's a good way to strengthen their body.

In addition to mere textbooks and endless exams, I would love to have a scene play with partners in the class. Primarily, the preparation process gives us the chance to fully understand these masterpieces like Midsummer Night's dream and Lady Macbeth of Shakespeare. By stepping into the shoes of the characters, not only can we learn to appreciate the beauty of art but also we expand our scope of knowledge and widen our horizons. What's more, rehearsal with classmates is a great time for us to get to know each other and then to widen our social circle.

Music is no wonder the most romantic and expressive language in the world. From my perspective,I surely love to go to a concert given by professional musicians. Primarily, a music festival is an enjoyment itself. Immersed in the amazing melody, we will be taken back by musical notes to the time when great composers like Mozart and Chopin lived. By listening to well-played pieces, we get to expand our scope of knowledge and learn to appreciate the beauty of art as well as widen our horizons.What's more, after doing tedious and repetitive school work, I can't think of anything better than a concert to relax. Surely, after we do the enjoyable experience endowed by music, we would study even more efficiently.

高分示范文本
If my university acquired a piece of land next to the campus, I would recommend constructing centers for students and hotel for campus guests. Firstly, It would make it a lot more convenient for guests if there were a hotel adjacent to the campus. For instance, in my high school graduation, my parents could only find a hotel very far away. As a result, they stayed in my dorms for three days, which was extremely inconvenient. If the school could build a hotel next to the campus, this situation would be totally changed. Secondly, I believe that, if there is a student center, the students can gain a more profound understanding about our university. By working together in the centers, students will then have a more direct way to exchange their information and better contribute to their college.

Among all the choices, I definitely consider cafe a better decision. Primarily, for young students who live fast-paced lives, cafe is an awesome choice for them to relax. Sitting down at one of the tables with dim light and hot latte, they get to chit-chat with their friends or meet new people. Killing time at the cafe and have a hot dog to soothe the stomach between classes is absolutely a wonderful choice and this enables students to re-focus on their schoolwork even more after the short break. What's more, cafe not only serves as a place to relax, but it also plays the role of a comfortable study space.Without walking all the way to the library, students can have group project meeting or just study with a few friends in a warm and pleasant environment, which can save them a lot of time and increase their efficiency.

People's answer might differ significantly from one or another towards this topic. From my perspective, I would definitely prefer a debate on political and social topics. Primarily, as a modern global citizen, it's always important for us to be informed about the international hot spot. Through this kind of debate, young students get to know the background of Turkey's ongoing referendum as well as the secret of The Belt and Road. It's rather essential for us to get a bigger picture of the everaccelerating development and modern society. What's more, the debate can develop our ability of thinking, which not only aids the essay writing process but also serves as a booster for a career in news related industries.

For roommates, someone with whom we spend most of our spare time, I consider friendliness the most crucial quality. Primarily, a friendly person is no wonder easier to communicate with. Setting the rules in the beginning, having problems during the semester, no matter what situation you are facing,you can always directly talk to your roommates and come up with a solution instead of endless quarrel or indifference. What's more, I believe roommates should not be our most familiar strangers. For a friendly person, throughout your daily communication and interaction, it's highly possible for the two who live under the same roof to become really close friends, which will make the atmosphere in the dorm a lot more pleasant.

Through the class, we get to meet masters like Dora Duncan and Anna Pavlova; we get to appreciate the masterpieces like Swan lake and The Nutcracker. Without a doubt, a dancing class helps us enhance physical coordination and burn calories in a relaxing way, which will surely enable us to better keep fit. What's more, a class like this is undoubtedly the best chance for us to make new people and make more friends. Here, with quite a few people who share the same interest and attend the daily rehearsal with you, it is very likely that you become lifelong friends, which helps you to expand your social circle.

Ever since the acceleration of globalization, it's not a rare phenomenon that diverse faces carry their own backgrounds on campus. Among all three choices, from my perspective, my favor definitely goes to international food festival. Primarily, for the students who are away from home, local food will surely become a wand that bewitches our tongue and takes us back home in no time. Peking roast duck, Naples pizza, Mexican taco and the famous stargazy pie can undoubtedly remind us of the taste of home which will absolutely alleviate the homesickness of the international students by gratifying their stomachs. What's more, through food other students get to have a glimpse of a different culture and widen their horizons, so as to expand their scope of knowledge.

Movie is an integral part of our daily life but goes further than that. From my perspective, I would surely prefer the film studies.

From Casablanca to the star trek, we not only get to know the basic factors, such as plots and themes, but also have the chance to explore further every specific scene and filming technique to unveil the mystery of film. As a result, when we go to a movie, other than laughing out loud with the crowd, we would definitely have a deeper understanding.

With encyclopedia or other official websites, we get to know the diverse aspects of the historical city, like the origin of Pompeii and the historical story behind the Forbidden City. These research materials will definitely become an integral part of the paper and lend credibility to our project. What's more, research is no wonder the easiest way to know a historical city. With just a few clicks at home or in the library, we don't really need to visit these places in person. Not to mention,some of these ancient relics can be traced back hundred or even thousand years, rendering stories from old people mysterious rather than suitable for academic research.

I believe that being creative is the most important characteristic for an entrepreneur who wants to start up a business. Firstly, a new firm is all about innovation which makes a firm stand out from the crowd.A creative entrepreneur could bring innovation to a firm in all aspects. For example, because of Phil Knights' creativity and his emphasis on innovation in athletic shoes and apparels, Nike has prospered under his leadership. Also, firms with differentiated products and services face fewer competitions and are more likely to overcome hardships. If a firm doesn't stand out and has nothing special, during difficult times such as an economical crisis, it would most likely be shut down.

The prosciutto with a fine glass of wine reminds me of the sun of Tuscany which will surely intrigue me a lot and motivate me to explore even further. Besides, learning to cook enables us to have a glimpse of the local daily life and to have the opportunity to live like a native by going to the markets and paying a visit to a local bakery.

I would definitely choose to work in hospitals. Primarily, I can help a lot of patients and their families.When people arrive at the hospital, I can guide them to get registration and later to help them find the specific treatment rooms, since there are always tons of people squeezing their ways through and getting lost in the maze-like hospital. Thus, by working in hospitals, I can help the patients get appropriate treatment easier and more efficient. Secondly, working in hospitals can give me a sense of achievement. Although I can't operate on patients directly, I can still soothe the anxious patients,which is another way of treatment and surely gives me a great sense of achievement by helping others.

If I were to do a volunteer work, I would definitely choose to read books to kids. Firstly, reading books to kids can make the process of reading easier for them. It's understandable that it's difficult for kids to sit still and finish a book in one sitting. For instance, my younger brother never finished reading a book. The reason is that the words are too complicated for him, so he always loses interest in reading books. Thus, by reading books to children, I can help them stay concentrated and impart them knowledge that they can hardly gain on their own. Secondly, reading books to children also offers me the sense of achievement. Being a teacher, I too can grow in the process of instilling them with knowledge.

Walking along the Fifth Avenue and joining the crowd for the new year count-down at the Time Square, enjoying a piece of Naples pizza and the sunset in Tuscany are our ways to greet the world.

People's answer might differ significantly from one or another towards this topic. However, I do believe that government regulation is the most effective. For the regulation obligates people to follow certain rules so as to conserve the environment. As for the non-governmental organizations, they are not authoritative enough, and thus we can not guarantee the effectiveness of their actions and may cause severe back-fires. As for individual efforts, they are an indispensable part indeed, but for those who are not fully aware of the gravity of the current situation, it's pretty much useless.
