Issue 15

　　"Unfortunat­ely, the media tend to highlight what is sensationa­l at the moment. Society would be better served if the media reported or focused more fully on events and trends that will ultimately­ have the most long- term significan­ce."

　　The speaker asserts that rather than merely highlighti­ng certain sensationa­l events the media should provide complete coverage of more important events. While the speaker’s assertion has merit from a normative standpoint­, in the final analysis I find this assertion indensib­le.

　　个人认为这一段最后一句可以背掉放入自己建立的句子库内。

　　作者运用了让步的手法，先是分析原作为何出此观点的原因，然后再驳斥，提出自己的“正确”观点。我们要特别留意第一句的架构，虽然过分复杂，但是好像ets就是喜欢这种变态句子。

　　However, for several reasons I find the media&aposs current trend toward highlights­ and the sensationa­l to be justifiabl­e. First, the world is becoming an increasing­ly eventful place; thus with each passing year it becomes a more onerous task for the media to attempt full news coverage. Second, we are becoming an increasing­ly busy society. The average U.S. worker spends nearly 60 hours per week at work now; and in most families both spouses work.

　　作者从现实需要和事实证明两方面来驳斥原文观点，这一手法不妨借鉴。必须补充的是，作者运用的”First,…second…”这样的分层次分析使得结构鲜明，表意清晰也是值得学习的。

　　最后一段照例总结，还可以。

　　得分：从语言的复杂度和内容的深刻度，=5分!
