壹:药品广告(drugadvertisement)
reading
提出命题:药品广告所提供的信息均是客观全面的,且病人对药物了解得越多越好
1.病人能够更多了解处方药的关联信息(information)
2.医生开药时,病人能够和广告上进行比较,有利于选药
3.通过广告,病人能够了解到新药的发展,提醒医生
lecture
挑战命题:病人不需要对药物了解太多,因为有时候了解得太多会对非专业的病人产生困扰,
而且广告所提供的信息也不完整全面
1.广告通常只有宣传好处,对副作用(sideeffects)壹笔带过,病人很难判断
2.病人对药物的准确用法用量不了解,可能会用错
3.广告只宣传新药,对旧药没有宣传,可是针对不同的病情,也许旧药更为合适(appropriate)

二:网络故事书(web-storybookservice)
reading
网络故事书的好处
1.能够教小朋友读书
2.经济实惠,家长不需要为孩子买书了
3.能够代替父母陪伴孩子,为家长节省时间
lecture
反驳
1.使用时不能和小朋友互动(askquestionandgetfeedback)
2.网络上的故事均是过时的,要想读新故事仍是要买书(不足)
3.父母和孩子壹起读书能够增进感情

三:网络问卷(webbasedsurvey)
reading
网络问卷相对传统问卷的优势
1.调查范围更广,所以调查结果就更为准确(逻辑错误:参加人多且不代表范围广,也不能
保证效果好)
2.发放,填写和收集问卷更加方便简单
3.成本低
lecture
反驳网络问卷的优势
1.所取得的调查结果不全面(biased),因为不是所有人均会上网,中老年人上网会比较少,
而年轻人上网比较多
2.成本且不会低,因为壹个好的网络问卷需要壹个团队的大量工作(提出新的证据:网络问
卷也需要成本和人力资源)
3.大多数人对网络问卷均不严肃,会得到不正确的信息,容易混淆视听。

四:打分偏高(inflationofmarks)
reading
老师给学生打的分数越来越高
1.分数打得低会减低学生的学习意志
2.会影响教师自己的测评结果
3.因为别的老师给的成绩高,如果不跟着给高分,学生出去找工作会吃亏
lecture
解决方案
1.应从小灌输正确的学习观念,不应因壹次小失利而丧失信心
2.教师的评测能够改于学期结束前进行,这样学生的成绩就不会影响到评测结果
3.企业于选拔人才时能够见学生于班级中的排名而不是单纯的成绩

五:加氟自来水(addingfluorideinpublicwater)
reading
于自来水中加氟的好处
1.防止蛀牙
2.杀死细菌
3.对骨骼有好处(decreasebonediseases)
lecture
反驳
1.自来水且不会留于口中,对防止蛀牙没有帮助
2.氟会和输水管(waterpipe)中的化学物质反应,产生有毒物质,其危害大于细菌
3.过量的氟会使骨骼变脆
例文:
