My View on Qiong Yao"s Love Stories
Qiong Yao"s Love stories are read by almost every student in our school. As a result, many students are not doing as well as they used to in their studies. For this reason, the school authority decided to put a ban① on those stories.
I don"t think the prohibition② is necessary. To begin with, Qiong Yao is a successful novelist. She has portrayed the characters so well that the readers are always moved. Her stories help us learn more about society. Secondly, after reading the stories, readers tend to compare the experience of the characters with their own to learn a lesson. In this way, they gain more experience about life. That isn"t bad, is it? Finally, the language is beautiful. Readers find it an enjoyment to read her stories.
Maybe, the school authority and teachers are afraid that in Qiong Yao"s stories there is something unhealthy which may affect the minds of the students. But then we are old enough to deal with it properly. I suggest that the Communist Youth League Branch hold discussions to guide young students along the correct way to growth ideologically③.

【寫法指要】
1.本文作者在引言段中先指出校方“禁讀”的觀點，然後在擴充段第二段第一句以段落主題句的方式樹立了一個與校方相反的論點“不必禁”，接著用三條理由(reasons)證明自己觀點的正確：1)小說家塑造的人物惟妙惟肖;2)讀者可以從人物的經歷中獲得生活的經驗;3)小說的語言優美，讀來是一種享受。這樣，作者通過反證自己觀點的正確，間接反駁了校方的觀點和做法。最後作者在第三段用退一步的方法進一步論證自己觀點的正確，並提出了建議。
2.第二段第一句中的“prohibition”與第一段最後一句的“ban”以同義詞方式相呼應，第三段第一個詞“Maybe”以轉折的方式與第二段銜接，這樣的連貫方式是十分可取的。
