总论点

如何拯救红树林（Mangrove）

阅读部分

阅读提出了三个方法：

1. 有些动物会威胁到红树林，比如有一种螃蟹以红树的种子为食，可以把这些动物驱赶掉

2. 虾农会危害红树林，应该把他们迁到其他远离红树林地方比如湿地

3. 用一些新技术改善土壤质量

听力部分

听力说有瑕疵：

1. 螃蟹和红树一起进化了许多年，他们可以对彼此有帮助，螃蟹会在沙滩上打洞，这些洞有助于红树吸取养分

2. 虾农作业产生的污染水是问题根源，迁到别的地方会危害其他地方的生态

3. 改善土壤质量很难，红树依靠土壤中的氧气生长，红树一死，氧气就没了，而且氧气很难被replace到土壤中

解题思路

综合写作语言相对简单，重点分别呈现阅读和听力观点以及反驳逻辑即可

参考范文

The reading proposes three ways to save Mangrove. However, the professor in the lecture argues that none of the methods is practical and effective.

First, the reading claims that repelling some animals, like a crab which feed on the seeds of Mangrove and endanger the lives of Mangrove, would be an effective way to save Mangrove, which is refuted by the professor who claims that crabs and Mangrove have been evolved together for many years and they can mutually help. For instance, crabs can create holes on sands, which is beneficial for Mangrove to absorb nutrients.

Second, according to the reading, requiring shrimp farmers to move to places, such as wetlands, will be conducive to the protection of Mangrove. To rebut the idea, the professor points out that the water waste discharged by shrimp farmers is the root cause of the endangered situation of Mangrove. Moving out shrimp farmers will threaten the ecology of other places.

Third, the reading says that adopting new technologies to improve the quality of soil is good for Mangrove. Nevertheless, the professor argues against the point by stating that it is difficult to improve the quality of soil. Mangrove depends on the oxygen of soil to live. Once Mangrove died, the oxygen will be gone and it is hard to be replaced to soil.

考题回忆

Sometimes you are required to meet with another person to provide feedback about that person's work (for example, when you must give your opinions about a classmate's work on an assignment or your thoughts about a coworker's contribution to a project). when you have both positive and negative feedback to give about a person's work, do you believe it is more effective to give the positive comments first or the negative comments first? Why?

解题思路

本题比较纠结，很多同学都会觉得两点容易重复。因此，我们可以采取拆分思路。将我们要给feedback的对象拆分成两大类人：一类比较强势；一类是比较敏感的；针对他们不同的特点，我们都是先给positive feedback，然后再给negative 建议。

参考范文

Giving feedback is an art, which can both build up a person and ruin one. When it comes to the discussion on whether expressing positive comments first is more effective, I believe it is a sagacious strategy.

Praising prior to giving negative remarks would definitely avoid conflicts and make people accept our ideas easily, especially when we have to give comments to people who are relatively aggressive and even arrogant. No matter in schools or workplaces, we may easily find some classmates or colleagues are quite defensive, who just like warriors to fight for their own ideas and leave no room for others’ challenges. Dealing with this kind of people, we have to show our respect and appreciation by sharing our positive comments first so as to maintain a harmonious relationship and make our points be heard. By contrast, if we blurt out shortcomings of their projects first, chances are that they may regard our comments as a challenge, being irritated and rapidly rebuking our points to prove their correctness. As a result, we have no chance to provide any constructive suggestions. Obviously, pressing the red buttons of others first brings us nothing but a broken relationship and even an escalated argument.

As for those with low self-esteem, conveying positive feedback first will also go a long way. We may not feel strange that there are some people who are sensitive and feel quite nervous when others are reviewing their assignments or projects they are working on. If they are the persons who we have to share our comments, we definitely need to be cautious; otherwise, our remarks may easily destroy their confidence, making it impossible for us to help them absorb our ideas and polish their jobs. In this case, sharing positive feedback is a must. Hearing our appreciation regarding how fabulous their jobs are first, they will feel being recognized, valued and certainly safe, making them be relaxed and ready to listen to some constructive suggestions. However, once we state their drawbacks in work at the first few minutes of our conversation, they may become nervous and blame themselves in their minds. Being haunted by ideas like how stupid they are or why they can make such kind of mistakes, they have no space to listen to what we say afterward. Therefore, not only will we not help others improve productivity, but also damage others’ confidence if we provide negative comments first.  

Human beings are complex creatures; we need take into account multiple factors while giving comments. A savvy strategy deserves us to spend time and energy thinking and I believe giving positive ones first wins larger chances to build up others and bring good vibes to the place where we study or work.
