For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something. You can give explanations to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

A famous saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” indicating that what you hear may not be reliable, while what you see can be trustworthy. This opinion, however, is still quite partial.

What we see or hear are the facts, but they might be only part of the story, therefore a quick conclusion can be reckless and lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. For example, on a metro packed with passengers, some young people are sitting while an elderly is standing. If you don’t find out the whole story, you may jump to a conclusion that these young people are so rude and indifferent that they show no love and care to the elderly. But the true story may be that these young people have invited the old man to sit down before you came, even if they are quite exhausted after a whole day’s work, while the elderly is quite refreshed after a workout and he refused to take the seat so that the young passengers can have a rest.

In conclusion, before making a judgement, it is better to get to know the situation in a comprehensive way. Only in that case, can we reduce the risks of misunderstanding to the minimum.

【点评】

题解:“根据所见、所闻立刻得出结论是不明智的。”

本题难度中上,话题有一定的思辨性,较抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段简单阐述自己的论点。主体部分可以进一步阐释,并结合例子进行论证。结论部分再次强调自己的论点,提出根据所见、所闻立刻得出结论可能是片面的。
