應試寫作學與練批駁篇
批駁型議論文主要是對某一觀點或做法進行批評與駁斥。在這種類型的作文中，考生往往看到這樣的題目：
Should Capital Punishment Be Abolished?
Does Money Mean Everything?
My view on Forced Retirement Policies 等。
也就是說，要求考生在這些有爭議的問題上所反映出來一種作者認為不正確的看法進行批評，然后闡述自己在這方面的看法和觀點。這種作文的基本結構如下：
Paragraph 1
S(1) Topic: The issue to be argued about
S(2) Thesis: My opinion of the issue
Paragraph 2
S(3) Others arguments about the issue
S(4) Details
S(5) Writers objection
S(6) Writers own arguments
S(7) Details
Paragraph 3
Conclusion
第一段引出文章要爭論的問題，表明作者對這個問題的基本立場，或贊成或反對，這是全文的中心論點。
第二段S(3)S(4)是作者反對并要駁斥的觀點。S(5) 則是作者的具體駁斥。
S(6)S(7)是作者對這個問題的自己看法。
最后是結論，歸納全文的闡述。
有時候作者反對并要批駁的觀點并非一點道理也沒有。在這種情況下，可以先退一步承認其可取之處，然后才闡明自己正確的主張。這時候，當中一段可改為：
Paragraph 2
S(3) Others arguments about the issue
S(4) Details
S(5) Concede their validity
S(6) Writers own arguments
S(7) Details
批駁篇-1 作文題目：Is Stress a Bad Thing?
Directions: For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing? You should write no less than 150 words and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1.有的人害怕壓力
2.有的人認為壓力并不是一件壞事
3.我的看法
范文：
I cant stand the pressure and competition, explained one friend of mine when asked why he decided to quit his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently. My friend may have his own reasons, but I dont think his decision is wise in reality.
Its true that my friends case is not unique. In the last few years quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive at the cost of a comfortable, easy life a highly-paid job can obtain. They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. In fact, however, stress isnt the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. People under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth----the very aim of a human life.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.

寫作題目：Should Women Return to the Kitchen?
Directions: For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Should Women Return to the Kitchen? You should write no less than 150 words and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1.現在社會上失業和下崗人數增加
2.有人認為婦女回到廚房是解決的辦法
3.我的看法
范文：
The traditional belief is that a womans place is the home and that a woman ought not to go out to work after marriage. Now once again we hear such words.
People hold the view base their argument on the two assumptions. First, since jobs now are scarce and unemployment rates higher, if women returned to the kitchen, there would be more jobs available to men. Second, the majority of female workers earn a little, only one-fifth of their male counterparts, who may earn a little more if their wives stay at home devoted wholly to children and housework. But they fail to notice that deprived of work, most women will suffer unspeakable boredom and misery. For most women, work is not only a means of earning a living, but more important, the focus of their lives and the source of satisfaction, and the absence of work tends to exert a harmful effect on their psychological well-being. Furthermore, withdraw from employment to complete domesticity means the loss of certain social status that women have now enjoyed after many years of struggle. It should be recognized that the current frequent occurrences of brutality, desertion and divorce are to some extent attributed to the fact they have no say in the matter of finance.
No, women should not return to the kitchen, for we cannot afford to waste the wealth of their talent in their contribution to waste the wealth of their talent in their contribution to society and to risk losing the social status they should have.
