利弊类题型审题小结
• 该类题目通常也以某一即定事实/现象为分析基础, 但由于 该趋势/现象的原因讨论不是很有必要,转而只分析其利弊 (其实就是正面或者负面的影响分析), 所以本质和事实讨论 型题目是一样的,只是解题方向不同. • 事实讨论型通常需要剖析原因,而利弊型通常不用; • 事实讨论型分析影响时有指向(比如直接说问某社会现象/ 趋势会产生什么问题—即等于指明要分析负面影响), 而利 弊型通常是正反两面都要分析; • 事实讨论型分析的影响有时会有限定对象,比如个人或/和 社会, 利弊型通常不会限定该影响对象, 但个人/社会还是 可以成为分析利弊的不同切入点. • 由于该题型讨论开展的基础同为即定事实/现象,因此利弊 类话题可以很容易被转化为事实讨论型问题(原因\影响\对 策),反之亦然. 但一切以题目要求为准.
