My View on Automated Collection Bus
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic My View on Automated Collection You’re your composition should be no less than 150 words and based on the outline
below.
1．无人售票公共汽车在一些大城市相继出现
2．你对这种公共汽车的看法
Dear editors:
(1) In recent years more and more automated collection buses are running on the streets of big cities. (2) While they are praised as "an advance in technology", I hold an opposite view.
(3) Automated collection buses don't fit the socioeconomic circumstances of our country.
(4) To judge a particular technology, appropriateness is a sole criterion. (5) That's to say, any technology introduced or solution adopted should take into account the unique economic, ecological, cultural and social conditions within which a specific problem exists. (6) For example, bicycles can provide more efficient transportation than automobiles in congested cities, and " barefoot doctors" in large rural areas may meet more health needs than highly sophisticated hospitals. (7) The same applies to automated collection buses. (8) In a labor-rich country where more and more people are laid off because there are not enough jobs available, people-oriented machines are more suitable than technology-oriented ones. (9) Ordinary buses can not only offer a
large number of job opportunities but also create a homey atmosphere which is badly needed in an increasingly impersonal society.
(10) For these reasons, I don't think that the automated collection bus is appropriate in our country, at least at present.
类比推理
说明观点的细节可以用各种各样方法组织，除了比较对照、因果分析、权威作证，还有类比推理法，即通过在两个不同事物之间找出共同点来证明某事物或某观点的正确。具体地说，由于两者具有相同的性质，因此只要证明A事物正确，就可推断B事物也正确。
如在本文中，作者首先论证在交通非常拥挤的城市里，自行车的效率要比小汽车高；在广阔的农村地区，“赤脚医生”的作用要比几所高级医院更大，然后做出推理：同样，在劳动力大量过剩，每天都有许多人由于无事可做只得下岗待业的社会里，在每辆公共汽车都挤得像沙丁鱼罐头一样，根本无法挤到自动售票机前的情况下，用售票员的公共汽车肯定要比无人售票公共汽车更切合实际。可见，这种类比推理法，说服力较强。
在运用类比推理法时，我们可运用这样的句型：The same applies to (goes for, is true of)... 例如: A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fails all the more completely because he drinks heavily. The same applies to our language. It becomes inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.
