都说PTE写作简单,但是大作文仍然要有完整的结构,通顺的句子,多样的语法,这些都对同学们的词汇语法基础要求很高,由于PTE是机改,没有主观评判意识,所以是不拒模版的。
目前市面上有很多机构也都会有固定的模板推荐给同学们用,但是如果都用一模一样一字不改的模板是有可能存在查重的现象的。今天文波PTE就为大家来解析一篇CNN的记者Dylan Byers所整理的特斯拉CEO埃隆马斯克对于人工智能的看法和建议。看看第一语言使用者是如何陈述现象,举例说明的。
Rethinking the A.I. conversation: My conversations with artificial intelligence experts over the six weeks since PACIFIC launched have taught me something: Radical, irreversible change is coming to every facet of our lives, but it’s not coming nearly as fast as A.I.’s most ardent evangelists would have you believe. When a bright-eyed entrepreneur tells you we’re 2 years away from X, it’s a safe bet we’re at least 5 years away from X.
facet:n. 面;方面;小平面
ardent:adj. 热情的;热心的;激烈的;燃烧般的

“Artificial intelligence is attracting growing amounts of corporate investment … So far, however, only about 20 percent of AI-aware companies are currently using one or more of its technologies in a core business process or at scale.”
at scale:大规模地
“For all their promise, AI technologies have plenty of limitations that will need to be overcome … [including] onerous data requirements … [and] the difficulty of obtaining data sets that are sufficiently large and comprehensive …”
onerous:adj. 繁重的;麻烦的;负有义务的;负有法律责任的
“In some areas … the cost and complexity of deploying A.I. may simply not be worthwhile, given the value that could be generated.”
“Societal concerns and regulations can also constrain AI use. Regulatory constraints are especially prevalent in use cases related to personally identifiable information.”
I don’t begrudge visionaries their visions. I just begrudge them their timelines.
deploy:

“A major source of issues is poor communication between depts. The way to solve this is allow free flow of information between all levels. … It must be ok for people to talk directly and just make the right thing happen.”
这篇新闻中涉及到埃隆马斯克的个人观点,可以看到他的遣词造句极为准确且富有逻辑性,其中很多的句子都可以直接摘出来用作作文的模板。
下面就这篇文章为大家拓展一个作文模板,以PTE大作文题库里面的“Some people think law changes our behavior. Discuss.”这道题为例。
It has been argued that some people think our behaviour is changed by law, in my opinion, law has not only restrain our behaviour but also alters people’s way of living. Legislation about upcoming technologies, science breakthrough and medical issues is also changing our behaviour to a large extent.
First of all, societal concerns and regulations regarding to science and technology has largely constrained the speed of development of human beings, that is to say, in some areas, we are restricted by law in every facet of life. For example, America has recently banned ZTE, a Chinese telecommunication company from importing electrical parts since it has breached the law of fair trade and regulations. As a result, people working for ZTE might face unemployment at scale.
On the other hand, law has plenty of limitations which might alter people’s choices towards life. Although almost every law is enacted to protect human rights, there is always dark side behind it. For instance, since many countries have banned tobacco, people may seek other ways to find alternatives such as electronic cigarettes.
To conclude, law indeed has changed people’s behaviour in many ways, given that it is not only a mandatory tool to regulate human society, but also a direct way to make right things happen. However, the influence of law can range from specific behaviours in a narrow context that are easily measured such as the decline in smoking to the more complex and far-reaching.
