Question

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words, Use your own words as far as possible.

If someone you know asks you nosy (愛(ài)管閑事的) questions, then you are not obliged to answer if you don’t want to. Here it is more important that you have some polite brush-off (拒絕), but it is still not rude for you to refuse.

If you think they shouldn’t have asked the question like ‘How much money do you earn?’, then I strongly recommend looking very shocked and saying ‘I can’t believe you just asked me that!’ and either leaving them to get out of it or moving on yourself to another subject. If they try to press you by saying ‘I was just interested…’. Then you can keep the shocked look and say ‘I’ m not telling you that with as much emphasis as you like on the ‘you’.

But what if the question isn’t quite so unforgivable? Then you need a more smiling response: ‘I can’t possibly tell you that’ or ‘I’m not telling anyone that’ or ‘Wouldn’t you like to know?’ But you must stand firm, because otherwise they’ll never learn and will keep expecting you to tell them your innermost secrets. There is certainly never any need to tell your secrets just because someone else told theirs.

There are questions that seem perfectly reasonable- ‘Are you planning to move?’, ‘Are you going to go back to work?’, ‘Are you going on holiday this year?’-but if answered truthfully might lead to unexpected revelations of something bad. Here you are free to tell white lies and say ‘We don’t know/ haven’t decided yet/ haven’t really thought about it’. Looking vague and changing the subject is the key here. If the question was reasonable, then it’s polite to embarrass the asker as little as possible-they were probably only making conversation in the first place.

Answer 1

【答案】If asked nosey questions, you can ignore them politely or refuse to answer them. For unforgivable questions, you can strongly express your unwillingness to answer them. For not-so-unforgivable questions, you must be firm to say you can not answer them. For reasonable questions which may reveal something bad, you can tell white lies or give vague answers.

【解析】

這是一篇概要寫(xiě)作。

寫(xiě)作步驟

1）細(xì)讀原文。首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，掌握文章主旨。文章說(shuō)明了如果你被問(wèn)到一些愛(ài)管閑事的問(wèn)題，你可以禮貌地忽略它們或者拒絕回答它們。對(duì)于不可原諒的問(wèn)題，你可以明確表示不愿意回答。對(duì)于不那么不可原諒的問(wèn)題，你必須堅(jiān)定地說(shuō)你不能回答。對(duì)于那些可能會(huì)揭露壞事的合理的問(wèn)題，你可以善意地說(shuō)謊或給出含糊的回答。

2）弄清結(jié)構(gòu)，歸納段意。概要寫(xiě)作是寫(xiě)全文概要，不是寫(xiě)某一部分的概要，或者就某些問(wèn)題寫(xiě)出要點(diǎn)。因此一定要弄清文章結(jié)構(gòu)，歸納文章各段大意。

3）列出原文要點(diǎn)。分析原文的內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)，將內(nèi)容分項(xiàng)扼要表述并注意在結(jié)構(gòu)上的順序。在此基礎(chǔ)上選出與文章主題密切相關(guān)的部分。

4）在寫(xiě)作時(shí)要特別注意下面幾點(diǎn)：

（1）概要應(yīng)包括原文中的主要事實(shí)，略去不必要的細(xì)節(jié)。

（2）安排好篇幅的比例，概要應(yīng)同原文保持協(xié)調(diào)，即用較多的文字寫(xiě)重要內(nèi)容，用較少的文字寫(xiě)次要內(nèi)容。

（3）注意要點(diǎn)之間的銜接，要用適當(dāng)?shù)年P(guān)聯(lián)詞語(yǔ)貫通全文，切忌只簡(jiǎn)單地寫(xiě)出一些互不相干的句子，但也不要每?jī)删渲�間都加關(guān)聯(lián)詞語(yǔ)，以免顯得生硬。

（4）不排斥用原文的某些詞句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的話語(yǔ)表達(dá)，至少對(duì)原文句子做一些同義詞替換，如果結(jié)構(gòu)上也能有一些轉(zhuǎn)換會(huì)更好。

（5）計(jì)算詞數(shù)，看是否符合規(guī)定的詞數(shù)要求。
