The fact that a mobile phone allows a person to be contacted at any time can in itself be a disadvantage. For instance, an employee may, via the mobile phone, be constantly available to his employer and feels that he never leaves work. This may cause distress. (缺点1) Another disadvantage is the perceived health risks associated with its use. Some people believe that using mobile phones for long periods can damage the brain. (缺点2)

　　There is no denying that a mobile phone has both benefits and drawbacks but on balance perhaps the advantages of a mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages since a mobile has become an integral part of modern life. (结论)

　　(三)说明文(3)

　　图表写作也属于说明文的类型，这种文章通常结构是：

　　Paragraph 1change(变化)

　　Paragraph 2reasons or implication(原因或意义)

　　Paragraph 3conclusion (effects; implication)(结论)

　　The period 1995~2005 witnessed a rapid increase in the number of people in City X traveling abroad. As can be seen, in 1995, only about 10,000 people in this city went overseas while in 1995 this number quickly rose to 40,000. In 2005, however the number of overseas traveler surged to over 120,000, which is more than 10 times as many as that of 1995. (变化)

　　This change can be accounted for by a couple of factors. First, along with social and economy progress, the living standard of the Chinese people has been greatly enhanced, so they have enough money and time to travel abroad. Meanwhile, more and more people want to enjoy themselves and broaden their vision by visiting overseas historical places and experiencing exotic cultures. (原因)

　　Overseas travel has a profound effect on both individuals and the society. It can widen our people’s horizons, promote friendship and enhance cultural interaction. In the meantime, it can also boost our social economy and make our society more prosperous and dynamic. It’s good for our nation’s progress. (结论)

　　(四)议论文(1)

　　议论文的第一种形式是要求考生针对某一有争议性的两种观点，来阐述自己的立场，或对这一问题反映出的某一观点进行驳斥，然后提出自己的看法并加以论证。它的基本形式是：一些人认为……；另一些人认为……；我的看法……。这种文章的基本结构如下：

　　Paragraph 1Introduction(启)

　　Paragraph 2Analysis(承)

　　Paragraph 3 Conclusion(转合)

　　例如：

　　1.一些人认为数据库威胁个人隐私

　　2.另一些人认为数据库有利于提高工作效率

　　3.我的看法

　　My view on Data Collection

　　Data collection is a fact of modern life. Some argue that data collection is endangering the rights of individuals, though others see it as a useful tool which increases efficiency. (启)To be frank, I believe data collection does more good than harm. (作者观点)

　　For one thing, databases provide a very useful tool. Large databases which contain information on many individuals can enable more effective decisions to be made. Institutions such as government departments and police rely on data collection in order to operate efficiently, and hospitals use computerized records to help in their fight against disease. (承1) For another, databases stored on computer can also be very efficient. Data which has been collected in one area can be sent anywhere in the world almost instantly. This means that those who have legitimate access to this data can work very efficiently. (承2)

　　In summary, data collection on individuals can be justified, although all possible measures should be taken to minimize the risks. (转合)

　　(五)议论文(2)

　　议论文的第二种形式是要求考生针对某一有争议性的观点，表明自己的观点(同意或是不同意)，并提出相应的论证。如：

　　Direction: It is very important that children should study hard at school. Time spent playing sport is time wasted. Do you agree or di
