One friend once said to me, "Do you know that most college students can’t even put semi-colons(分号) in the right place?" Emphatic voices like his have recently made writing courses popular, strangely popular because of their hard-nosed attitude toward correct writing. Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor (隐喻), they agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identify increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples(跛子), and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given every- where. More writing labs are appearing and expanding.
Many students are wining to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me and my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose (诊断) the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing. It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary commas, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of marking can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, some- thing about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well.
But I wonder whether all these well-intentioned scrawls (潦草写几句话) would do little more than confirm my student’s fears about how crippled he is.
Which of the following is the purpose of the first paragraph?
选项
A、To describe some successful doctors
B、To compare poor writers with diseased people
C、To tell the teachers why some students are poor in health
D、To show the importance of a teacher’s job
答案
B
解析
