Issue 15
  "Unfortunately, the media tend to highlight what is sensational1 at the moment. Society would be better served if the media reported or focused more fully2 on events and trends that will ultimately have the most long- term significance."
  The speaker asserts that rather than merely highlighting certain sensational events the media should provide complete coverage3 of more important events. While the speaker’s assertion has merit from a normative standpoint, in the final analysis I find this assertion indefensible.

  个人认为这一段最后一句可以背掉放入自己建立的句子库内。

  作者运用了让步的手法,先是分析原作为何出此观点的原因,然后再驳斥,提出自己的“正确”观点。我们要特别留意第一句的架构,虽然过分复杂,但是好像ets就是喜欢这种变态句子。

   However, for several reasons I find the media’s current trend toward highlights and the sensational to be justifiable4. First, the world is becoming an increasingly eventful place; thus with each passing year it becomes a more onerous5 task for the media to attempt full news coverage. Second, we are becoming an increasingly busy society. The average U.S. worker spends nearly 60 hours per week at work now; and in most families both spouses6 work.

  作者从现实需要和事实证明两方面来驳斥原文观点,这一手法不妨借鉴。必须补充的是,作者运用的”First,…second…”这样的分层次分析使得结构鲜明,表意清晰也是值得学习的。

  最后一段照例总结,还可以。

  得分:从语言的复杂度和内容的深刻度,=5分!
