B)第二句开始:elaboration这个故事——越生动、形象、具体越好(体现在一些名词实词,比如列举等)。
Eg:学生练习
"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "
范文思路:
Bill gates是一个成功的IT精英,他用其独特的观看奥运会的方式向世人展示了其成功和与众不同。他在奥运村旁边租了一个空中四合院,然后和妻子一起,看到了开幕式上五星红旗的升起、奥运火炬的传递、跳水健儿夺冠、拳击冠军带伤上场、奥运圣火的熄灭……
目的:通过这个故事让读者琢磨出这个观点的大致方向来——
所以,一定要通过一些indicator体现“这个方向”:比如一些有感**彩的indicator(因为IBT没有假设readers是白痴,所以不要将GMAT的“绝对客观”用过来,一些能反映“好坏正负”的描述或adj都是readers能体会的,但前提是我必须写出来!不可以只列出现象!)
2. answer the question:同意还是不同意。
这句话的作用:match读者读了故事之后的预期,同时回答了问题——阐明了“我”的观点!
Eg1:
Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”. It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,’ says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.
【分析】:
第一句话:交代了事情的梗概
后面读完:elaboration清楚,能让我读出来观点的方向很明确。所以第一句没有用“扣题”的方式!
所以,“是否扣题”依自己的水平能力定!

【注意】:说到这里,只是把故事讲完了,接下来应该回答两个问题:
1)是成功的定义;
2)是成功的唯一定义(否则“only”如果没有回应我的答案可能受到攻击)
最后两句:
也许对于其他人而言,成功的体现还有不同的considerations,比如:金钱、社会地位、etc
但是对于我而言,这些都不及“按照自己的生活方式生活”重要,进而他们都不足以定义成功,所以,我支持“这是成功的唯一的定义方式”。
