However, I strongly disagree with this view, as I believe that we have a moral responsibility to assist as many people as possible, both locally and globally. On the one hand, I acknowledge that it is crucial to address the issues facing individuals within our own communities. Every society has its share of vulnerable groups, whether they are homeless, unemployed, or suffering from poverty. For instance, even the wealthiest cities in the world often have individuals living on the streets. In response to this, there are numerous ways in which we can contribute, such as volunteering, donating goods, or supporting local charities. Many people in the UK, for example, actively participate in initiatives like providing food at soup kitchens or offering clothing to shelters. Since these problems are visible and immediate, it is understandable why some may believe that helping those within our own borders should be our priority. However, I contend that we must not limit our charitable efforts to our immediate surroundings. There are numerous instances where people in other countries face far more severe challenges, and in such cases, the impact of our help can be far greater. For instance, in many African countries, children die from diseases that are preventable through vaccinations. A small donation from individuals or governments in wealthier nations could save countless lives. Furthermore, the logistical ease of providing aid to foreign nations, such as funding global vaccination programs or supporting international disaster relief, means that our efforts can make a significant difference beyond our national borders. In conclusion, while it is essential to support our local communities, I believe that national boundaries should not prevent us from offering assistance to those in need elsewhere. ### 中文理解 有人认为，我们应该优先帮助自己社区或国家的人，而不是向世界其他地方的人伸出援手。但我强烈反对这种看法，因为我认为，我们有道德责任尽可能帮助更多人，无论他们在本地还是在国外。 一方面，我承认，解决自己社区中人们面临的问题非常重要。每个社会都有需要帮助的群体，例如无家可归者、失业者或陷入贫困的人。即使在世界上最富裕的城市，也常有人露宿街头。面对这些问题，我们可以用很多方式出一份力，例如做志愿服务、捐赠物品，或支持当地慈善机构。比如在英国，许多人会参与施粥所的供餐工作，或向收容机构捐赠衣物。这些问题就在眼前，也很迫切，因此有人认为应该优先帮助本国的人，是可以理解的。 不过，我认为，我们不应把慈善帮助仅限于身边的人。其他国家的人有时面临严重得多的困难，在这些情况下，我们的帮助可能产生更大的作用。例如，在许多非洲国家，儿童仍会死于本可通过接种疫苗预防的疾病。较富裕国家的个人或政府提供一笔不大的捐款，就可能挽救许多生命。此外，通过资助全球疫苗接种项目或支持国际救灾等途径，向国外提供援助也较为便利，使我们的努力能够在国界之外发挥重要作用。 总之，支持本地社区固然重要，但我认为，国界不应成为我们帮助其他地方有需要者的障碍。 ### 逻辑链 * 引言｜反对只关心本地：本地与国外都有人需要帮助 → 尽可能帮助更多人，不接受国界作为排除条件。 * 主体一｜承认本地困难的重要性：身边有弱势群体 → 问题可见而紧迫 → 志愿服务与捐助可以回应。 * 主体二｜说明跨国援助的必要性：国外困难可能更严重 → 小额支持也可能有效 → 国际项目提供可行渠道。 * 结论｜本地支持与全球援助并存：照顾社区重要 → 但不能因此拒绝帮助其他地方的人。 ### 本题词伙 * **moral responsibility**：道德责任；have a moral responsibility to do，说明责任内容。 * **vulnerable groups**：弱势群体；support vulnerable groups，必要时说明具体群体。 * **local charities**：本地慈善机构；support / donate to local charities，注意 donate to。 * **disaster relief**：救灾援助；provide disaster relief，relief 在此通常不可数。 * **make a significant difference**：产生明显作用；make a difference to someone / something，别写 make a different。 ### 替换与拓展 * **address urgent needs**：回应迫切需要 Aid organisations should address urgent needs first. * **provide practical assistance**：提供实际帮助 Volunteers can provide practical assistance to elderly neighbours. * **extend support to**：把支持扩展到…… Communities can extend support to people beyond their own borders. ### 句型语法 * **用 whether… or… 展示不同情形**：这里 whether 并非“是否”的疑问，而是在说明无论无家可归、失业还是贫困，都属于需要支持的情形。 原句：Every society has its share of vulnerable groups, whether they are homeless, unemployed, or suffering from poverty. 结构：… , whether they are A, B or C. 迁移：Learners need clear feedback, whether they are beginners or advanced students. 无论初学者还是高阶学生，都需要清楚的反馈。 * **用 since 解释为什么某个观点可理解**：since 在这里表原因，不表示从某时开始。先承认本地问题迫切，再解释优先帮助本地的看法，给反对立场留下公平讨论。 原句：Since these problems are visible and immediate, it is understandable why some may believe that helping those within our own borders should be our priority. 结构：Since + 原因, it is understandable why… 迁移：Since transport costs are high, it is understandable why some students prefer online classes. 交通费用较高，因此有些学生偏好线上课程是可以理解的。 * **用 prevent someone from doing 回应限制**：should not 判断这种限制不应存在；from 后用 -ing。这个句型直接反驳“只能”帮助本地，而非泛泛谈慈善的好处。 原句：In conclusion, while it is essential to support our local communities, I believe that national boundaries should not prevent us from offering assistance to those in need elsewhere. 结构：… should not prevent + 人 + from + -ing. 迁移：Low income should not prevent students from accessing essential learning materials. 收入较低不应阻碍学生获得必要的学习材料。 ## 选择与组织 · 为什么这样写 ### 把题目要求拆清楚 题目把无法帮助所有人推到只关心本国；判断这个推论是否成立。 ### 怎样组织段落 承认本地需求→解释国际帮助可能的作用→优先本地不排除国际援助。 ### 为什么这样选择 反对only不要求证明可以帮助所有人；有限资源仍可按紧迫性选择。 ## 语言与精度 · 本节重点 many communities、some situations限制概括，不把整个地区都写成同一种处境。 ## 最后练一练 · 先组织，再写 读熟后，可以先遮住参考，回忆本节最有用的两三句。想动笔时再打开下方写作台，不需要首次学习就完成全文。 ### 定点练习 写一句反驳“不能帮所有人，所以不帮国外”。 ::: details 写完后看一种参考处理 > Limited resources require priorities, but they do not justify excluding all people outside our own country. 检查它修正了什么意义或关系。可以使用不同措辞，但信息需要准确。 ::: ### 换题使用 **本站自编迁移题** 自编题：Charities cannot solve every problem, so they should focus only on education. Do you agree? 识别only并说明另一类合理需求。 先试一段，再视需要写全文。将新内容写在写作台的“迁移”中；原稿留在“初稿”，修订另存到“修改”。图表题需要重新识别特征，书信与议论文需要重新回应任务。 ::: details 打开写作台 · 短练、全文与复盘 > We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own communities and countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? 全文练习至少250词，约40分钟；本节短练可以先写一个主体段。 **留一个复盘**：我能回忆哪组表达？换了内容后，哪一句还不熟？下一次先检查这个问题。 :::
