With growing population in cities, more and more people live in a home with small or no outdoor areas.
Is it a positive or negative development?
【段落示范】(主体部分的第 一段——让步段)
1. Admittedly, there are some reasons why it may be undesirable to live in units with a limited open-air area.
2. Lack of space for even moderate outdoor activities is a good excuse for the sedentary lifestyle of city dwellers, who have long been plagued by conditions like obesity.
3. At the same time, it is believed that living in such homes can lead to mental problems, such as feeling anxious or having a fear of the social life.
【解析】
一、内容维度(TR):*** 特别重要 ***
• 让步段。避免整个文章的过分偏激,可能更重要的是凑篇幅。
二、文脉逻辑维度(CC):*** 尤其重要 ***
• 第1句,总述。
• 第2、3句,讲具体。
• 所以,这个段落用了“总—分”结构展开。
三、词汇维度(LR):
• undesirable 形容词,“不想要的 / 不令人满意的”。
• moderate 形容词,“适当的 / 适度的”。
• dwellers 名词,“居民/居住者”。
• a good excuse “一个好的借口”。其中“excuse”是可数名词“借口”的意义。
having a fear of the social life “有对于社交生活的恐惧 / 害怕”。其中“fear”是不可数名词“害怕”,虽不可数,但是,单数形式时可以加冠词“a”。同时【注意】,这个词表“担忧”意义时,可数,比如:We all need to deal with our fears for the future in our own ways. 并且后面的介词是“for”。
四、语法和句型维度(GRA):
• 第1句:there be句型。
• 第2句:最后有一个由who引导的【非限定性定语从句】。
• 第3句:【主语从句】由【形式主语it】指代。还原后的语序是:That living in such homes can lead to mental problems, xxx xxx, is believed.
