【答案】

Dear Editor，

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether passengers who ride in a car driven by a drunken driver should be punished. The minority of the students hold the opinion that punishing the passengers helps to reduce traffic accidents and increase traffic safety. Not to ride in a car driven by a drunken driver is not only a responsible behavior for passengers themselves but also for the drivers and other people on the road.

The majority of the students, however, disapprove of the idea, stating that it is difficult for common passengers to know whether the driver has been drinking or not. What’s more, even if the passenger knows the driver has drunk alcohol and has attempted to persuade the driver not to drive, it is unfair to punish the passenger when the driver does not follow the advice. As far as I am concerned, punishing passengers as well as the drivers is not only unfair but is also hard to carry out.

Yours sincerely,

Li Yan

【解析】

试题分析：本文题型是考生非常熟悉的正反观点类的议论文，同时也是提纲类短文。文章的要点非常清晰，在平时的练习中有相应的模板。从学生对于司机酒驾要处罚乘客的不同观点着手进行论证。审题时注意本文使用一般现在时，人称以第三人称为主，发表个人意见时使用第一人称。本文的要点均已给出，考生需要使用合适的连接词把孤立的要点联系成文。如for one thing, for another; besides, firstly, secondly, last but not least等。也要使用一些高级的词汇词组如 be supposed to do sth, benefit 等以提升文章的档次分。在文章中可以适当使用一至两句谚语如：Every coin has two sides等可以大大提高文章的文采，提高获得高分的可能性。
