范文 (支持)

Nanjing’s transport authorities have recently declared a total ban on eating and drinking on subway trains. Those who violate the regulation shall be fined. Citizens’ opinions on the rule vary from person to person.

Personally, I am in favor of the rule. To begin with, eating and drinking on subway trains may annoy other passengers and the subway staff, as food and drink may be spilled or give out an unpleasant smell. Only by forcing the riders not to eat can we improve the carriage environment and relieve the staff of increasing workload. Furthermore, remains of food, unless taken away, will attract mice and other pests, which eventually brings risks to the subway operation. In this case, the eating ban on trains is a must to ensure smooth operation.

In short, this new regulation will ensure us a safe and wonderful travel experience. Moreover, by kicking the habit of eating on the subway, the passengers will develop a more civilized way of taking public transportation.

(反对)

According to a regulation issued by Nanjing’s transport authorities, passengers are prohibited from eating or drinking on subway trains. It has generated considerable discussion in society. People’s opinions over it vary.

I am strongly opposed to the rule for the following reasons. First of all, the society should show more tolerance towards the passengers eating on the train. Due to their tight schedule, they have no choice but to take advantage of the time on the subway for their meal. In addition, some people like those with diabetes do need to eat food at particular times to control their sugar level. It is improper for the authority to fine them for their eating behavior. Last but not least, the regulation is funny in that there should be food stores inside some subway stations!

In short, not only will the regulation bring much inconvenience to passengers, but it will also spoil the reputation of the subway.

【解析】

试题分析：本次作文是次开放性作文，难度较大，但同时给考生提供了较大的展示空间，考生的创新、发散思维的能力能够得到充分的发挥。文章要点：1.概述上文。2.提出观点。3.论述观点。因为论述的是目前的情况，故基本时态应定为一般现在时。

亮点说明：范文要点全面、结构明晰（总结题文（简述现状）-提出观点-论述观点），用语准确，文章中的“To begin with, Furthermore, In short,Moreover/ First of all, In addition, last but not least 等”过渡词的使用，使得文章过渡自然。且文章句式多变，展现了作者较高的英语水平，提升了文章的档次。例如定语从句“Those who violate the regulation shall be fined.”,动名词作主语“eating and drinking on subway trains may annoy other passengers and the subway staff,”,状语从句的省略“unless taken away”/非谓语作后置定语“According to a regulation issued by Nanjing transport authorities”倒装结构“Not only will the regulation bring much inconvenience to passengers”.这所有的一切成就了一篇好文章。
