答案 How to Make Decisions Throughout life we have to make decisions, big and small. There are two different ways to approach making important decisions. Some people think that a person should make an important decision alone. In contrast, others think that the more important the decision is, the more consultation the person should receive. I agree with the latter opinion because I might learn something new and it is possible to see the situation more clearly with the objective opinions of others. First of all, by consulting with others you may hear new ideas that you did not think of yourself. In most cases, the bigger and more important a decision is, the more options there are. For example, one of my friends is a recent university graduate and is looking for a job to fit his qualifications. In this case, it is a good idea to talk to a variety of people who have more experience in the working world. By talking to people in the same or related fields, my friend will have ideas of what to expect and what to look for. Someone with more work experience may advise him not to focus only on money, but on what will benefit him most as far as future advancement is concerned. Through the advice of people with experience, he might be able to avoid some of the difficulties that come from choosing the wrong job. Furthermore, hearing the objective opinions of other people can help you to see a situation more clearly. When people make an important decision on their own, they often make mistakes because they are too close to the situation and have preconceived ideas and feelings. For instance, if a woman takes the time to talk to others about the prospective groom, she may learn some things that would change her mind. Perhaps the woman’s friends can see some major flaws in the man’s personality that could cause her a lot of grief, such as a drinking problem or a violent temper. By hearing the opinions of others, she can make a better choice. In conclusion, people tend to think that they can make the best decisions for themselves, but in reality it is sometimes best to get advice from others. This is because maybe you can learn something that you did not think of on your own and other people can give you objective opinions because they are able to see your situation more clearly. By taking the advice of others, you can make better choices in relation to important decisions.
解析     本文语言简洁流畅，通过摆事实讲道理，作者很自然地使我们在不知不觉中赞同了他的观点，毫无矫揉造作之感。本题需要作者摆明自己的观点，到底是独立做决定好还是先听取他人意见再做决定好?作者在第一段的最后就确定了自己的态度，“I agree with the latter opinion because I might learn something new and it is possible to see the situation more clearly with the objective opinions of others．”。这句主题句同时也介绍了正文部分的结构内容，也就是做决定前听取他人意见的两大好处。本文正文论述的一大特色是运用了举例说明的方法，而且每段一个例子，每个例子都很恰当，很好地证明了作者的论点。其实，在写作中，我们有时在举例时会只用一到两句话，有时则需几句话。不管是一句一例还是多句一例，关键是能否将事实讲清楚。当然，限于400字的篇幅，一般举例最好不要过长。
