环球教育（原环球教育）杨亮老师万万没想到，11月的最后一次考试，出题考官居然以一个绝世老题来收官。当然，这符合整个十一月的节奏。老题重现，是十一月的主题。相信无论是新烤鸭还是身经百战的斗战胜佛级别的考生，对这道题都不可能不熟悉。四个字来形容此题，就是“简单爆了”。

　　例题如下：

　　Nowadays more and more people are using cell phones and computers to communicate with others. Therefore, they are losing the ability of face-to-face communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20161126

　　手机和电脑的流行，人们因此丢失了面对面的交流能力。题干简单直白，值得注意的是，近些年考过类似的题目是讨论人们是不是丢失了阅读和写作能力，由于手机和电脑的广泛使用（20150328），其实都是大同小异。

　　A rising number of people begin to be used to talking to a screen instead of real persons, with popularity of mobile phones and computers. Hence, some are concerned about that people's ability of communicating with others in person is becoming weaker and weaker. In fact, what they worry about is what is really happening.

　　一个稳健的开头，还是老一套：背景+点题。并未在首段中表明笔者的立场，这个是允许的。

　　On one hand, advanced communication technology is substantially reducing chances for people to have a talk with someone face to face. Related technology offers people more methods to pass on a message to their target persons, like texting them and sending an email or a piece of voice message. Consequently, people do spend less time in having a word with others face to face. On top of this, due to the convenient communicating ways provided by high-tech, some people have less willingness to interact with other people, which they might think is embarrassing and uncomfortable. Those people are more likely to choose a way for communicating with others with hiding themselves behind a screen, by which they do feel safe and comfortable. Hereby, according to fewer opportunities of talking with people face to face and less willingness for doing so, losing ability of face-to-face communication is unavoidable.

　　这是一个主段，从两个角度来论证人们面对面交流的能力就是降低了。首先是人们面对面交流的时间和机会变少了，此外就是这种交流的意愿也将逐步减少。那顺其自然，总有一天我们会不知道如何在真人面前表达自己，成为传说中的键盘侠。

　　On the other hand, some objectors may argue that current technology can be used to simulate face-to-face communication with webcam utilized to show video of people who are talking. Eventually, great differences do exist between these two ways of communication. What webcam can show during a video chat is relatively limited compared with a face-to-face chat where every detail facial expression and body language can be displayed vividly and accurately.

　　这是一个次段，也是让步段来反驳一下反方的观点。反方认为，其实科技可以模拟面对面交流。但实则不然，视频会话和面对面还是有很大差距的。此处可能会有考生提及全息投影，在此文章为了笔者的逻辑，我们只字不提。

　　With chatting online or via cell phones replacing traditional communication method, humans' ability of having a talk with others face to face is being weakened inevitably.

　　由于开头段并未阐明清楚笔者的立场，因此在结尾段笔者郑重的申明了自己的观点。

　　近日颇为忙碌，此文章是环球教育（原环球教育）杨亮老师奔波一天之后，于疲劳之际所写。大有不足，望斧正。
