终于拿到了“剑15”，新航道老师迫不及待地展开了对写作部分的详解。

　　昨天盘了Test 1的小作文，

　　今天盘大作文

　　这个话题很有“中国特色”，为雅思的“向世界的东方看齐”点赞。“安居才能乐业”是中国人的老话，这个话题真的是应景。那么，如何才算安居？买房还是租房？90后（龄的都要30岁了吧）不买房？00后不买房？80后的新航道老师的想法是：

　　Renting a home, either on a long lease or on a flexible one, rather than buying one is one lifestyle choice. The opposite is the other. In those countries where people tend to own a property, the preference makes sense, and the ownership has profit.

　　* 句子有长有短，信息的节奏才让读者（考官）舒服。

　　题目中既然给出了两件事情（“买”和“租”），那就要充分回应题目给出的信息，需要讨论“租”，即使我赞同“买”。于是，让步的内容就有了。租的好处，在新航道老师看来有（但不限于）如下两点：

　　Doing the math, renting is probably less expensive whereas the down payment plus the ongoing mortgage, if one buys a home, is the bigger money. Renting also allows some freedom, since one can be mobile, finding a different home—a bigger one, a cheaper one, a transport-convenient one, a downtown apartment that has everything in its vicinity or a quiet suburban house that gives the person solitude as his needs may change.

　　* 句子的长和短的变化使得信息的节奏好。节奏好，带着读者（考官）跑，分数就好。

　　* 3分钟学会一个7分句（可能不止7分）：Renting also allows some freedom, since one can be mobile, finding a different home—a bigger one, a cheaper one, a transport-convenient one, a downtown apartment that has everything in its vicinity or a quiet suburban house that gives the person solitude as his needs may change. 解析：主句 + 原因状语从句（since引导） + 状语从句内再下一层到伴随状语（动词分词引导），以及伴随状语中动作的状语（as引导）。

　　但是，“买”明显更好：

　　However, does the idea that paying a rent, even a small sum of it, is paying for the landlord’s mortgage ever come across our mind? Many people certainly believe that renting feels like getting ripped off, and they want the ownership. Further, if they buy a home at a good price and it is on a good location, the money paid can be turned to a successful investment. They may sell the property at a higher price one day and make good use of the margin, either to buy a better home that may be more expensive or to settle at a passable place and enjoy life’s other offerings with the extra money. In addition, one will eventually need a permanent residence as he or she reaches a certain point of life—having a marriage or a family—when that “I can be mobile” is no longer a proper lifestyle. People, with this culture embedded in mind, make home-buying plans, and an owned home provides the sense of security.

　　注意：有没有发现买的理由同时也是买的好处？那就理由和好处一并讨论了，不要傻乎乎的拆分开来说。

　　* 3分钟学会一个7分句：They may sell the property at a higher price one day and make good use of the margin, either to buy a better home that may be more expensive or to settle at a passable place and enjoy life’s other offerings with the extra money. 解析：动词不定式作为伴随状语。

　　* 3分钟学会一个7分句（可能不止7分）：In addition, one will eventually need a permanent residence as he or she reaches a certain point of life—having a marriage or a family—when that “I can be mobile” is no longer a proper lifestyle. 解析：主句 + as引导的状语从句（从句中又有when引导的定语从句修饰a certain point of life，同时，when引导的从句内部是一个主语从句构成的“主-系-表”结构）。

　　It is therefore reasonable that some people prefer a title certificate to a lease. Admittedly, this is not to deny that renting a home may be a good deal for the 90’s and 00’s generations and those who stay young.

　　买吧，买吧，先定一个小目标嘛。
