朗阁讲师李艳茹点评

综合写作：

阅读：不好

1. 这个过程很难并且很危险（difficult and risky），并且实施的过程中会有损失。

2. 这个计划会影响犀牛的繁殖（reproduce）。一些年龄比较大的雄性犀牛被选走了，则会影响生育；如果分开了母犀牛和他们的孩子会带来负面的影响。

3. 对偷猎没有作用，因为不管在哪还是会被偷猎者（poacher）抓，因为他们的犄角（horn）很值钱。

 

听力：反驳

1. 对比运输途中的短期危险（minor short-term risk），在南非遭到偷猎危险更大。而且死亡率没有那么高。

2.计划的执行者会很认真小心的挑选犀牛，这样就不会切段犀牛的关系链（bond），也不会引起隐患。

3.军队会保护这个计划，有一片很大的地方，偷猎者不会轻易找到，所以这个计划很好。

解题思路：选择年轻时出国旅游

As the saying goes: the world is a book; those who do not travel read only a page. Indeed, there are so much one can explore when traveling abroad. However, when it comes to the question of when is the right time to travel around the globe, some believe that it is better to travel when they are older while other claim that it is more beneficial to travel when they are younger. I, personally, believe that it is far better to travel abroad when people are young.

 

First off, young people are believed to be more adaptive than elders and young people can reap greater benefit of traveling abroad. When people get older, they are getting very comfortable with their own cultures and customs and they might find it very hard to fit in with the local culture when traveling internationally. Eventually, they might find the customs and ways of living of the places they are traveling bizarre and unacceptable since people are generally more restrained and exclusive when they are getting old. However, when traveling at a much younger age, one will find the same cultural elements thrilling and be eager to open up their minds and explore different beliefs. In turn, the distinctive perspectives and different views one is exposed to when traveling young can be of great significance to one’s future life since they can help them to decide what their calling in life is, set their future goals and how to meet them.

 

Additionally, young people have less responsibilities and they are in far better health condition to travel extensively abroad. To be more specific, one has more commitments when getting old, like families and jobs. When you have more responsibility to worry, you will never make traveling a priority. On the contrary, traveling when you are young and carefree makes sure you can enjoy the experience without have to worrying about your wife, kids or your business operations. What’s more, old people generally do not have the perfect health condition to suffer the jet lag, layover, long flight hours and constant exchanging of different transports. To make things worse, traveling abroad can be impossible for those who suffer from elderly diseases, like diabetes, Parkinson and cardiovascular problems.

 

Admittedly, it seems that people should spare no effort to study and working in their young age so that they could truly enjoy themselves after retire. But how could we forecast the day after retire? Life is irreversible and we do not know whether our travel plans will be changed for certain reasons. Thus, the dream we hesitate now may not be realized forever.

 

All in all, it is much more advisable for someone to travel young since one is more adaptive, healthier and free of great responsibilities. (465 words)
