盼着盼着新题终于来了，不过还是有些许失望，因为这一季的话题着实有点简单，同时，很多都还是旧题重返。

除了这些公众号已经有发过的讲解外，其它的话题也会从本周开始解锁，尽情期待。作为新题的开篇，我先选了《健康文章》来做讲解。

这道题实则是去年1月份就有存在的一道旧题，消失了几个月后再次出现。去年，我的学生见到这道题就觉得很难，因为这种类型的文章往往不在大家的阅读范围之内。除此之外，大家能想到的和健康相关的内容也非常局限。也正是如此，这道题该如何破局就成为了关键的一步。

不同以往，我不会再把"Article"放在首位进行维度拆分。相反，这道题“Health”决定了具体内容走向。为此，我觉得"Health"高于"Article"。既然如此，我现在需要来拆分的就是这个核心关键词。

“Health”维度拓展：

1. Physical health 生理健康

“身体健康”包括了一个人的饮食、生活方式、运动以及疾病。

2. Mental health 心理健康

“心理健康”则主要关注于压力层面的东西以及心理相关的疾病。

结合这两大思考方向以及媒体报道的标题规则，我们可以拟定一些话题内容：

普遍来看，很多人在首问的拓展上都是从“Author”入手的。当然对于文章而言，作者很重要。但是我们也可以关注一些比较细小的角度，比如：受欢迎程度、长度、版本、费用、历史等。如果你真的想从作者着手的话，我的建议是你可以从他的工作/学历背景/受欢迎程度等着手。

Example one：Author

I would like to talk about an article I read about meditation 冥想. Not many people in China have heard about it. The article was written by an unknown author, but he said he works for Alibaba.

Example two：When+Length+Version

Three months ago, on a laid-back 悠闲的 Sunday afternoon, I read an article about mental health and it mainly focused on how to reduce stress. The article was a bit long, about 2000 words. As it was in English, there were many words I didn’t know. It took me about 20 mins to finish it.

Example three：Popularity

The health article that comes to mind was about how to lose weight effectively and safely. The article was very popular and went viral over night 一夜爆火. Many of my friends read it too.

Example four：Author+Price

I am going to talk about an article about depression I read online. The article was written by a woman called Letitia, a psychology graduate from Harvard University. She has published many articles in medical journals over the past few years. Most of her articles online are free. However, occasionally some of them have a small fee. I had to pay for this one, but I think it was worth it, as it was full of interesting and useful information.

针对这个小问题我们有两种答题方式。

1. 直接式

从题目中直接选择网站或者杂志，接着我们只需要选择恰当的角度对杂志/网站进行拓展即可，比如：类型/受欢迎程度/历史/读者/价格等。

Example one：

I found the article in a magazine called Health. It is my mum’s favorite and she buys it every week without fail 毫无例外. To be honest, I wasn't really interest in the magazine until last summer holiday. I was bored and my parents were out, so I started to read it.

Example two：

I read it on a famous website called Zhihu, a Quora-like app. Lots of professional people like posting their articles and ideas there. Because of this, I am a big fan of it and when I get bored, I like finding some interesting articles.

Example three：

I found it on an app called Get. The app attracts lots of professional people from different fields who share their ideas and advice. Unfortunately, you need to pay for most of the articles. This one cost me 5 yuan, but I think it is worth it.

2. How you know about it

我们也可以把这个问题变换成“How you know about it”。为此，我们需要在结果部分给出你到底是在杂志还是网上看的。

Example  :

Actually one of my friends recommended it to me and told me I should read it. She thought I would find it interesting, so I searched for it online both in English and Chinese and read them carefully. From the number of views, I could tell it was very popular.

很多同学可能会有疑问感觉上一问中的“How you know about it”更适合于用在这个小问中。的确是这样的，但如果你把它放在上一问也没有关系，只是在回答这一问时你需要给出更深层次的原因。

比如：第二问中我回答说我去看这篇文章是因为朋友推荐的，但是很多时候如果你对它不感兴趣的话别人怎么推荐都是没有用的，所以你需要更进一步思考一下吸引你的点是什么？是因为正好需要或者正好好奇？

Example：

I read it because I wanted to get some ideas which could help my students relax and unwind 放松. My students were about to take the University Entrance Examination and they were all feeling anxious.

除此之外，你也可以按照“Why类型”问题的常规打法来回答。明确一个观点，然后给出解释。至于观点我们就可以从“Article”的角度中去寻找，比如：作者/ 标题/ 插图/ 内容等。

切记注意，不要和首问的内容重复。如果你想要在第三问阐述作者的信息，你的首问就不可以再使用“作者”这个角度。

Example one：Headline

I was just flicking through 翻阅 the magazine, mostly, just looking at the pictures, when I saw the article about mediation. It caught my attention, because the headline was about great businessmen who practiced meditation, including Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and the late Steve Jobs.

Example two：Author

The reason why I read it was I was attracted by the author who is a famous doctor in my country and during the coronavirus outbreak 疫情爆发, he made a great contribution to our nation. Because of this, I think all of his articles are worth reading.

Example three：Popularity

The reason why I read it was it was because it had been viewed over 1 million times. According to the reviews, most of the people thought the article was meaningful and worth reading. Because of this, I read it during my break.

有些同学会在话题一开始就侃侃而谈文章的具体内容，实际上，文章具体内容的体现是放在后一问上的。至于我们对于文章的感受可以是“Postive”, 也可以是“Negative”。

1. Positive

Example one：About meditation

It was a long article and took me about 10 mins to read. I found it fascinating. The author listed all the benefits of meditating.

He explained that in this day and age 当代, life can be crazy. People work long hours, eat badly and don’t get enough time to decompress 减压. Many people are in danger of being overwhelmed and getting stressed out.

Meditation can help alleviate 缓解 this. He said you can do mediation anywhere. He has started incorporating mediation into his work place. He asked his team members to mediate at least 20 mins after lunch.To be honest, after reading the article, I try to meditate every morning.

Example two：About how to reduce stress

I think the article really broadened my horizons and I learned some useful tips to help my students.

For example, I began to talk with my students one at a time, so I could understand their individual needs. I also encouraged them to get fresh air and exercise instead of justhaving their noses in their books 埋头苦学 all the time. When it came to the exam, my students were not stressed and went on to pass with flying colors . I was so pleased I had read the article and plan to read more articles from this author to help more students succeed in the future.

Example two：About staying up late

The article was a real eye opener 大开眼界 and it completely changed my attitude towards staying up late.

In the past, I thought I was young and staying up late would not cause me too much harm. However, I was completely wrong. It explained that staying up late can contribute to weight gain and it can put pressure on your organs.

The author said each organ has to rest and they have a certain time for this. For example, the liver needs to rest from 11 pm and the lungs from 3 am. Getting a good nights sleep can keep us healthy and keep diseases at bay 控制疾病.

2. Negative

不可否认有一部分文章会给我们带来不好的感受，往往这些文章会让你觉得没有科学依据或者和你的了解到的东西相违背。

After reading the whole article, I thought it was dull and boring. I was also a bit angry about the author’s lack of responsibility.

He listed many ways to prevent the Coronavirus but his suggestions had not been tried or tested.  For example, he said that eating 6 eggs a day would keep it away. What’s worse, is that some ignorant 无知的 people listened and followed his advice. Because of this, I made a complaint to WeChat and suggested they delete the article. Luckily they took it down and the author was banned from adding any more articles.
