Example Answer by Jeenn Lee Hsieh 谢振礼
ielts360toefl@hotmail.com
Writing Topic:
>Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Even though globalization affects the world's economies in a positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience to support your opinion.
Sample Essay (Jeenn Lee Hsieh 谢振礼):
Being positive or negative, globalization has been changing much of the economic landscape on the planet. There are many advantages and disadvantages of this turbulent change that could affect the world's economies, and the diversified impact has begun to be felt by rich countries and poor countries alike, although in rather different ways. Some of these effects and counter-effects of this worldwide phenomenon are particularly obvious.
On the upside, globalization is designed to benefit the world's economies in various aspects from prices of products and services to employment. Due to the presence of the global market, there is an increase in the production sector, and there are lots of options for investments for different international companies. As well, for customers and consumers, there is a better access to products and services from beyond the borders. Further, especially in the under-developed and developing countries, globalization leads to higher employment since the developed countries outsource jobs. Moreover, globalization causes international competition that encourages creativity and innovation and keeps prices of commodities and services in check. In all appearances, globalization is full of promises for a better world.
On the downside, globalization could backfire, when and where it is not living up to what was promised. Ironically, some anti-globalists say that the first victim is employment when firms in the industrialized countries move their factories to places where they can get cheaper workers. For example, the United States has lost millions of jobs to the overseas, thus reducing American consumers' buying power at home and turning the micro-economy into a recession. By contrast, international companies from rich countries are weakening the competitiveness of small businesses in poor countries. This situation is often likened to a 'big-fish-eat-small-fish' game in which a big player always has an upper hand. Therefore, financially speaking, there are wide-spreading fears that the rich would get richer and the poor would become poorer, not to mention possibly cultural and ecological consequences.
To sum up, in the economic process of globalization, probably the positive effects outweigh the negative ones. Of course, there remain doubts if this change would benefit all countries and all peoples. One thing, however, is sure: for better or for worse, globalization has reached a point where there is no turning back. (Jeenn Lee Hsieh,ielts360toefl@hotmail.com 谢振礼老师 pigai zuowen)
Notes from 谢振礼Jeenn Lee Hsieh Online Writing Lab. ielts360toefl@hotmail.com
Altogether 360 headings of IELTS and TOEFL essays (created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh, not a native-English writer) are listed here. These articles attempt to be only a small part of reading material that might be useful to you when planning to sit for the writing test.
Following the TOEFL and IELTS versions of the TOEFL and IELTS scoring guides, Online Writing Lab. has produced hundreds of example answers to the past essay questions. Your comments (on thesis, structure, content; rhetoric, syntax, lexicon) will be appreciated.
On the one hand, an academic essay is supposed to be well-focused in thesis, well-organized in structure, and well-supported in content. On the other hand, attention should be paid to writing grammatically in English: language effectiveness (rhetoric), sentence variety (syntax), and appropriate word choice (lexicon).
Writing in clear, correct and concise English as a second language does not come easy. One practical way to gradually overcome the difficulty is perhaps to read a great number of example essays that are relevant to a variety of writing topics. Remember, there are no right answers or wrong answers, but you will find that there are some essays that are better than others. It is hoped that you can benefit from learning through those good examples from different sources when it comes to writing your own essays.
Have fun! Good luck!

>Online Writing Lab. 猫头鹰在线写作实验室应用【隐形模板】写范文。模板是死板的作文布局模式，不断习作久而久之则心眼领悟得到，肉眼却看不到模板。成功的托福作文或雅思作文必须先有成功的引言(Introduction)作为圆形心图的开头.
随着引言中主题thesis的焦点focus而发展signposts A/B，到了中体(Body Paragraph A+Body Paragraph B)则针对焦点而提出论证，支持主题。
结论(Conclusion)是引言的倒影，等于重复引言的要义，千万不要搞什么新点子，也不再论证。
Introduction: Say what you are going to say.
Body Paragraphs A/B: Say it.
Conclusion: Say what you have said.
所谓起中有合，合中有起，头尾显然必须前呼后应。
开头三句话：申论主题，集中焦点，话分两头。结尾三句话：二合为一，还原焦点，重申主题。支持主题的中体要切题(relevant)，也就是要针对焦点来造句：理由+例子+细节。中体的内容绝对不可以跑题到圆圈之外。在心图里，圆心就是主题的焦点。
如果不先提出立场(position)答题也就没有文章的主题。如果不主动缩小主题的范围到可以论证的焦点(focus)，很有可能冒了扩大话题的风险，因此造成内容迷路离谱，结果难免遭受考官扣分。总而言之，引言中已经从焦点里提出两个论证的指标(signpost A+signpost B)作为Topic Sentence A+Topic Sentence B)，这就等于预表中体段落的去向。
中体承段A与转段B的指标句最好是写抽象而值得议论的意见‘opinion’(而不要写无需论证的事实‘fact’)。应用这个雕虫小技则比较容易从个人的知识和经验中举出specific理由+例子+细节(reasons+examples+details)。
行文回头到了结论，两头指标又二合为一，焦点还原，主题重申。全文绕个360度的圆圈逻辑：话题从何处开头也一定在原处结尾。
引言是话题的入口;结论是话题的出口。入口(申论主题)和出口(重申主题)，其实是同一道门。
