写作指南
考生在下笔之前应先审题，明确写作要求：针对
“
我们究竟是该恢复中文繁
体字还是继续使用简体汉字
”
这一热议话题，首先总结正反方的意见，然后给出
个人观点。文章结构可安排如下：
第
一段：简要概括赞同和反对恢复繁体字方和提倡使用简体字方的观点，
第二段：
表明自己的观点：复兴繁体字是不明智的。直击正方观点漏洞，
分三点铺陈论证。繁体字在沟通交流上效率不及简体字；繁体字可读性和可接
受性不强；保存传统文化和价值并不是只有恢复繁体字这一种方式。
第三段：重申观点
——
恢复中文繁体字不是明智之举。
The
necessity
to
revive
traditional
Chinese
characters
has
aroused
an
increasingly
heated
discussion
for
decades.
Some
in
favor
of
it
hold
that
traditional Chinese characters, with a
more vivid and descriptive appearance,
is
a
perfect
embodiment
of
traditional
culture
and
a
bond
for
cross-Straits
exchanges
and
national
reunification
(
复兴
).
Some
are
against
it
for
its
complexity to write and
inefficiency to communicate, which can be
otherwise
avoided
by
simplified
characters.
Besides,
simplified
characters
can
also
serve
the
purpose
of
promoting
traditional
culture
and
this
simplified
writing
system is an irreversible
(
不可逆的
)
trend.
From my
perspective
, it's not wise to
deliberately / intentionally initiate a
renaissance of traditional Chinese
characters for following reasons:
First
and
foremost ,
words
and
language
are
tools
created
for
better
communication. In
this
sense,
efficiency
is of
utmost
importance
if
simplified
Chinese characters can perform the same
function of the traditional ones.
Secondly ,
readability
(
可读性
)
and
acceptability
are
potential
barriers
/
hindrance to the restoration
(
恢复
)
of traditional characters. Most of
mainland
Chinese learn simplified
characters from their infancy / childhood. So it
will be
hard for them to accept a
totally unfamiliar word system.
Last,

Taking the above factors into

Term-time holidays will be banned
Parents are to be banned by Michael
Gove, UK
’
s Education
Secretary, from
taking their children
out of school to save money on holidays.
He
is
to
abolish
the
right
of
head
teachers
to
“
authoriseabsense
”
from
the classroom, which has been used to
let families take term-time breaks, and
will warn them they face fines for
their children not being at school.
“
Any time out of school has
the potential to damage a child
’
s
education,
”
a senior source
at the Department for Education said this weekend.
“
That is
why
the
government
will
end
the
distinction
between
authorized
and
una uthorized absence.
”
“
This is part of the

)
levels
in
our
schools.
There
will
also
be
stricter
penalties
(['pen ?lt

) for parents and schools.
”
The
tough measures on truancy are part of a wider
attempt by Mr Gove
to make education
more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture
in the
educational
establishment
which
he
believes
has
accepted
“
excuses
for
failure
”.
Russell Hobby, the general
secretary of the National Association of Head
Teachers,
said
the
measure
would
discourage
parents
from
trying
to
put
pressure on heads to
