Now, you can also have a hybrid,
大家还可能遇到混合型的作文，
which is basically taking the non-opinion and asking for an opinion.
基本上就是先是不询问意见类型作文的问法，然后再询问你的看法。
"Discuss both views and give your opinion.”
就是“对两种观点加以讨论，并给出你的看法”这种。
Make sure that you do both, but the approach is very different.
大家务必两方面问题都要回答，但这种问题的回答方式是非常不一样的。
"Discuss both without opinion" and "Discuss both with opinion", very different approach to the essay.
“讨论两方面问题不给看法”和“讨论两方面问题并给出看法”两种问题的回答方式是非常不一样的。
Now, this is usually the one that's most difficult for people to do
这种问题通常是大家觉得最难的问题，
because they don't know how to break up their essays.
因为大家不知道怎么拆分自己的论文。
But if you want to see how I work through both types of essays,
但如果你想了解我是怎么应对这两种类型的作文的话，
go to my writing channel: www.writetotop.com or YouTube "Write To Top",
你可以去我的写作频道www.writetotop.com或我的YouTube频道“Write to Top”，
the link is in the description and you can watch me work through both types of essays,
链接都在视频下方的详情里，大家可以去看看我是怎么着手的，
hopefully help you out. Okay?
希望对大家有所帮助，好吗？
Same thing with "compare".
有“比较”这一字眼的问法也是一样。
"Compare both sides and say which you agree with.",
“比较两方，说出你同意哪一方。”，
"What are the advantages and disadvantages, and which do you think is more?" for example.
“有哪些优缺点，你认为优点和缺点哪个更多？”举个例子啊。
Problems and solutions:
问题和解决方案：
"What are some possible problems to this situation,
“这种情况可能会出现哪些问题，
and what do you think are ways to fix it?"
你认为有哪些办法可以解决相应的问题？”
So, all of these can be...have the opinion part added to it. Okay?
类似这样的问题都可以...都可以把意见加进去，大家明白了吗？
So be very careful.
所以，大家要仔细审题。
If you're asked for an opinion, give one;
如果询问了看法，就给出你的看法；
if you're not asked for one, don't give one.
如果没有询问你看法，就不要给。
If you're asked for a descriptive essay and an opinion,
如果你拿到的是描述问题并给出看法的作文，
make sure you do both. Okay?
那就两个问题都要回答，好吗？
So we're going to look at a little bit...
接下来我们简单地来看一下，
how to begin your essays, how to introduce...
怎么写作文的开头部分，怎么引入
introduce both sides in a very general set up of your ideas and how to organize. Okay?
怎么介绍问题的两个方面，作为你的看法的背景，怎么组织文字。好吗？
Okay, so we're going to look at basic things to keep in mind when you're writing these essays,
好的，我们先来看几个大家在写这类作文的时候需要记住的几个基本问题，
but the main thing I want to make very clear to everybody:
但首先我希望跟大家明确的一个大前提是：
Don't look for a template for the essay.
大家不要去找什么论文模板。
Every question will require its own approach,
每个问题都有其对应的回答方式，
its own way of looking at the topic, at the question and the issue, debate, whatever it is,
都有其独特的视角，针对那个话题，那个问题，那个讨论的视角，不管它具体是什么，
and you have to approach each essay on its own.
大家也必须用独特的角度去处理。
Don't look for a template that you can try to apply to every question because you can't.
不要试图找一个每个问题都能用的万能模板，因为你找也会找不到。
Every type of question has its own approach, every type of...
每种类型的问题都有自己的回答方式，每种类型，
every hybrid, for example, has different ways to do it.
比如每个混合型作文都有不一样的回答方式。
There's no one right way to write an essay.
所以，没有那种写作方式是绝对正确的。
There's only one right way to express your ideas,
只有唯一正确的表达观点的方式，
that's what you try to figure out how to do, right?
这恰好也是大家想要弄清楚的地方不是吗？
But the more you practice,
但你练习得越多，
the better feel you get for these essays,
你对这些作文的感觉就会越清晰，
and you're able to approach any question with the right things.
你就越能用正确的方式回答所有的问题。
But having said all of that, a few things to keep in mind.
不过，说了这么多，有几点是大家一定要牢记在心的。
If you're asked for an opinion,
如果被问到了看法，
make sure you give an opinion in the introduction:
请务必在作文开头部分就给出你的看法：
"I agree that" or "I agree with", "I believe that",
比如“我同意”，“我赞同”，“我认为”，
"In my opinion this is the right way".
“在我看来这才是正确的方式”等等。
Make sure you do this.
记住了。
Now, you don't have to use "I", again,
阐述个人观点的时候你不一定非得用“我”，
I mentioned this before,
上面已经说过了，
but if you're not sure how to make your opinion very clear to the reader,
但如果你不确定怎么样才能将你的看法清晰地传递给读者的话，
just tell it to them very directly.
那就直接告诉他们好了。
"I agree", "I believe", "In my opinion", etc.
直接用“我同意”、“我相信”、“在我看来”这样的句型。
Now, how are you going to build your argument basically in your body paragraphs?
接下来我们讲如何在正文段落阐述你的观点。
Start with your strong argument first in the body paragraph,
在正文段落开头就明确给出你的论点，
try to focus only on the side you're arguing for.
试着将笔墨全部放在你支持的那方面。
So if you agree with side A,
举个例子，加入你同意A方面，
spend the time and the words in body paragraph one to convince the reader that side A is a good side to choose.
那就将时间和正文第一段全部用在说服读者相信A方面是一个不错的选择上。
In side B, in body paragraph two when you're looking at side B, start with a concession.
B方面的话就放到正文第二段阐述，且段落开头要以让步的方式开始。
What this means.
什么意思呢。
And talk about side B.
意思就是先谈谈B面。
What are some good points about the other side?
谈谈这一面有哪些优点。
But make sure it's short, and make sure you turn it right back around and continue to arguing.
但务必要简短，确保你能将文锋拉回来，继续你的陈述。
To argue for your side.
为你支持的那方立论。
By the end of it, by the time you get to the conclusion,
到最后，也即写到结论部分的时候，
it should be very clear what your opinion is and why you had it. Right?
你的看法是什么，为什么持这种看法都应该是一目了然的了，对吧？
Now, a lot of ways to play with this,
好的，大家有很多办法可以做到这一点，
but this is the general approach you're going to be taking:
但大家应该采取的大致的方法是：
If they're not asking you for an opinion, don't give one.
如果没有问你看法，就不要写你的看法。
Again, you can say: "This essay will look at", "discuss" whatever topic you're looking at or discussing.
再次声明，你可以说：“这篇作文将会审视”，“讨论”随便你要审视，讨论什么话题。
"There are several ways to fix pollution, as this essay will demonstrate.”
比如“正如这篇作文将会说明的那样，解决污染问题的方法有很多。”
So basically you're telling the reader:
总而言之，你就是要告诉读者：
"What is the objective? What is the purpose of the essay?"
“你的目标是什么？这篇作文的目的是什么？”
It's to deliver information or to describe something, or to outline a process, etc.
是为了传递信息，还是描述一件事，还是勾勒出一个过程等等等等。
Now, you don't have to be very obvious either. Right?
这个时候你也不一定就要写得特别直白。
You don't have to say: "This essay will discuss".
不一定非得说：“这篇文章将讨论……”
If you know how to write a sentence
如果你知道怎么写一个句子，
that makes it very clear to the reader that
并能做到非常清晰地展示给读者
this is what the objective of the essay is, do that. Okay?
这就是你这篇作文的目的，那照你的方式写就行了，好吗？
