6月6日寫作標題：
It listening better than speaking in order to persuade someone?
此次sat考題團體難度不大，然則許多門生看到考題仍舊認為無從動手。難的並非標題自己，而是由於標題離開了眾人最為熟習的“用某一小我做主語講一個故事”就能夠搞定統統的的模式。不論是香港的考題 “Do people have to spend less time with others to appreciatethem?”, 照樣本次美國東部的考題“It listeningbetter than speaking in order to persuade someone?”,乍一眼看曩昔的感到都是要寫兩小我-A由於花時光陪同了B，轉變了appreciation;大概是A 成服從speaking /listening的方法說服了B.
碰著如許的標題眾人輕易張皇，由於認為本身貯備例子內裏就只說了A一小我的故事啊，那邊去找B?因而腦洞就悲痛地合上了。
實在應答全部此類的考題，起首想到的應當是，這個故事觸及到的人，除咱們最為熟習的主人公，是否是另有他人?在咱們所控制的例子內裏是否是另有一些咱們沒有看到的主體大概客體?規模從小到大擴大，有：親友石友，否決的人跟支撐的人，社區，媒體報導跟媒體受眾(粉絲)，全部社會。如許懂得的話，會給這類標題開辟一個新的寫例子的角度。
像是香港的考題，即使想不出來，back-up可以想到名流醜聞，由於眾人不肯意多花時光去懂得名流，以是很輕易被媒體報導牽著鼻子走。假如樂意多花時光去懂得，會發明這些名流“暗地裏的故事”和使人尊重的character。
而這個標題，從話題分類的角度思慮，可以想到挑權，挑權者簡略粗魯地提出本身的persuasion without even listening because all their suggestion comefrom first-hand experience;從說理的角度動身，最輕易想到的是listening granteesthe efficiency of perpetuation, while without listening, the efforts involvedin persuading others may be in vain.
【範文】
Convincing people that our way is the best is never easy because persuasion is all about understanding. We are more apt to convince people who trust us, thus to listen and understand the needs of our clients or friends, whether is it psychological or psychical, is the sure fire method for an effective persuasion. Therefore, it is better to listen instead of just speaking in order to persuade someone.
Persuasion is not about forcing someone to do something that is not in their own interest. A thorough listening to how they think, why they make such choices, therefore, is a necessity before we intend to persuade. Without listening to the inner needs of the person we want to persuade, we won’t be able to give pragmatic suggestions, nor would our persuasion turn out to be effective, as is the case of Florence Nightingale. Born in a upper class, well-connected British family, Nightingale was expected to inherit the nobility of her family, by marrying a decent man and be a housewife and mother. This sort of sweeping generalization of the entrenched social codefor affluent young English lady at her time was also the value of Nightingale’s patents, despite the fact that Nightingaletreated serving others and becoming a nurse her life-long pursuit. Standing ontheir own point, Nightingale’s parents strictly opposed to Nightingale dreamand persuaded her to give up. However, Nightingale’s declaration to enter thefield of nursing in 1844 epitomized the failure of her parents persuasion,which fails to take into consideration of a real listening and understanding ofhow a modernized woman thought. There is nothing wrong in Nightingale’sparents, after all, they are doing that out of love. But however experienced orprofessional parents are, their way of thinking things is still different fromus. So that listening to how we think and why we think so provides the fundamental understanding that parents need in order to effectively persuade.
Despite the benefits of listening ,there are caseswhen merely speaking worked perfectly well in persuading others. Martin Luther King’s speech “I have a dream” had attracted the attention of more than 250 thousand people and deeply convinced them of his belief that all men were created equal. By merely speaking out how he believed, Martin Luther King successfully persuaded the 250 audience to support him. This fact seems to speak for the position that speaking is better than listening in persuading others. But just imagine, how many people were coming for Martin Luther King in that summer on 1963? -None . All these people showed up there were coming for themselves, because they believed what Martin Luther King believe. If the speech was titled “ i have a plan” with merely speaking out King’s own thinking, would that be so persuasive? I believe not. To put it another way, “I have a Dream” was just an accumulation of all Martin Luther King’s listening to how his peers or even “enemies” thought about racial segregation and how they made such conclusion. What Martin Luther King did was just put what he listened and how he thought together and figured out the most persuasive elements in his speech. Even in this situation when speaking seemed to worked well in persuasion, listening is still what makes the persuasion tenable.
All in all, no matter how advanced or experienced wea re , when it comes to persuading others, a thorough listening is what guarantees the final success.
