    Some educators think that in our global, tech-oriented world, students need to focus on nonfiction texts, such as news stories, technical manuals, or other informational materials. They say that reading poetry, novels, and short stories is not the optimal use of the limited time that students have in the classroom. How do you view this approach to education? Should schools limit the teaching of fictional texts in favor of teaching more practical, nonfiction texts?

    Education has to evolve. Nowadays there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. It's important that students can evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens. Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby but school should prepare students for adult life and its responsibilities.

    I spent a lot of class time in high school analyzing literature. I'm studying to be an engineer, so I admit that reading fiction in school was not directly applicable to my future occupation, but it did instill in me a love of reading, which is very valuable. I feel better equipped now to understand all sorts of written material.?

    范文正文

    Andrew mentioned that nonfiction texts allow students to comprehend events in their local community and the world, while reading fiction cannot prepare them for adult life. Persuasive as it sounds,【让步状语从句】 I would argue that fictional books can serve the same purpose but in a more specific way. Compared with cold and rigid statistics about society in some non-fictional texts, the detailed narration of characters in fiction assists students in perceiving the world. For example, a careful analysis of Runtu, a character created by Luxun in his well-known work “Hometown”, will show today’s students the miserable life of Chinese peasants 100 years ago. His round and ruddy face in the past had already turned pale and grey, indicating how the peasants’ livelihood suffered in the hard economic situation.【非谓语动词作状语】 Literary works like this clearly demonstrate the interaction between personal life experience and the social condition. Although nonfiction texts illustrate the world precisely, they can be too abstract for young people to truly understand. On the contrary, teaching fictional texts provides students with an opportunity to combine what they see in real life and what they learn in theory. Therefore, schools should not limit the teaching time allocated to this form of writing.

    写作思路和特色
    本题是2024年6月26日的真题，话题与文化和艺术有关。在当今以科学技术为重的社会中，学生有限的学习时间是否应该多分配给非虚构作品，而不是用来学习文学作品呢？针对教授提出的这个问题，两位学生给出了自己的回答。Andrew认为学校应该让学生多了解社会，将来好更顺利地适应成年人的世界，因此学非虚构作品比文学作品更有帮助。另一个学生Claire虽然表示文学作品也很重要，但是她似乎并没有强烈认同文学作品的作用。
    本文的作者认为，在让学生认识社会方面，虚构的文学作品也能发挥与非虚构类作品同样的作用。文学作品中通常都有对人物的细节描写，这些细节也能让学生见微知著，了解作品中的个人生活是如何受到当时的社会状况影响的。一个典型的例子是鲁迅的著名短篇小说《故乡》中的“闰土”。他小时候“紫色的圆脸”，经过三十年的社会毒打后，“已变作灰黄”。这样的细节就能体现出社会经济状况的改变对个人的影响。非虚构类作品中的数据和论述往往很抽象难懂，而文学作品却给学生提供了一种现实与理论相结合的方式，这更能让年轻人理解社会。因此学校不应该减少文学课的时间。

    用词用语整理

    【让步状语从句】
    Persuasive as it sounds,I would argue that fictional books can serve the same purpose but in a more specific way.
    本句是由as引导的让步状语从句，也可以用though引导，意为“尽管听起来很有说服力”。其结构是“adj. + as / though it sounds / seems, ”需要将句中的表语提前到句首，形成部分倒装。本文中的Persuasive as it sounds可以用于对方观点和我方观点之间的过渡，后面接我方的观点。
    其他例句：
    Significant though the home education is, the influence of parents in education is eclipsed by that of professional educators as children grow.
    尽管家庭教育意义重大，但随着孩子的成长，父母在教育中的影响力被专业教育者所取代。

    【非谓语动词作状语】
    His round and ruddy face in the past had already turned pale and grey, indicating how the peasants’ livelihood suffered in the hard economic situation.
    本句意为：他过去红润的圆脸已变得苍白灰暗，说明了在经济困难的情况下农民的遭遇。
    这句话在《故乡》原文中是“先前的紫色的圆脸，已经变作灰黄”。“紫色的圆脸”指的是少年闰土第一次见到“我”时健康活泼的样子。三十年后，当“我”回到故乡，见到中年闰土时，他已经因为“多子、饥荒、苛税，兵匪官绅”等重重压力，苦得“像个木偶人”了，充分说明了社会经济状况对个人生活的影响。

    rigid adj. 僵硬的
    用在这里是为了将非虚构类文本与文学作品作对比，突出文学作品生动的感觉。

    narration n. 叙述
    assist v. 帮助，协助
    可以与help同义替换，还可以替换成aid。Aid尤其可以指国家之间的援助。

    miserable v. 痛苦的，可怜的
    ruddy adj. 红色的，红润的
    livelihood n. 生活来源，饭碗，生计
    例句：The villagers’ livelihoods depend on the rains.
    可以用于工作类话题，替换work或job。

    allocate v. 分配，划拨
