托福獨立寫作 004 可以通過一個人喜歡的電影或書籍了解ta嗎？（2018/12/08）

2018/12/08 題目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: one can learn a lot about another person from the books and the movies that the person likes.

寫作思路：我選擇同意該觀點，即: 可以通過一個人喜歡的電影和書籍來了解TA，拆分法寫三個主體段，每個主體段論述書籍和電影可以讓人了解的關於TA的某一面

分論點 1：能通過電影和書籍了解TA的價值觀

分論點 2：能通過電影和書籍了解TA的心路歷程

分論點3：能通過電影和書籍了解TA的性格

以前兩個主體段為例

第一主體段：

邏輯鏈：1 電影和書籍參與塑造價值觀→2 一個人的喜好取決於價值觀→3 電影和書籍能反映TA的價值觀

1 The books and movies one sees helps shape who he or she is, therefore reflecting a lot about his or her thoughts.

1.1 Just like the lyric from Bob Dylans song "Blowing in the Wind" goes, "how many roads must a man walk down, before he can call him a man", no one is naturally self- made but made by various forms of experiences on his life journey.

1.2 Movies and books are an essential part of this journey.

2 Therefore, ones preference for things is not from nowhere, but determined by how he or she views him-/her- self and the world.

2.1 Books are products of writers, displaying many of his or her own thoughts and views, and movies reflect the thinking of the director and playwright. The process of exploring them is one absorbing their ideas, subconsciously making them become part themselves.

3 Thats why books and movies can tell a lot about a person.

補充說明：之前有一句話在網路上很火，但我想不起來原話了，大意是說：你看到的不僅僅是一個人，更是他背後的經歷和教養——如果有親想起來這句話原文，記得告訴我一下，我來修改一下

第二主體段：

邏輯鏈：1 書籍和電影能反映TA的心路歷程→ 2 人生路上每個人都有自己的疑惑和掙扎→ 3 書籍和電影提供了很多人生問題的答案

1 It is a great way to see the mental struggles and experiences of a person by the books and movies they like.

1.1 If one like a certain book or movie, quite often its because it presents answers to his or her confusions.

2 As long as we are living on this world, we are always facing all kinds of harsh questions and problems.

2.1 It is said that every human being faces three philosophical questions: first, who am I? Second, where Im from? Third, where Im going to.

2.2 Socrates said that "the unexamined life is not worth living", but it is so hard and painful to address the adversities when trying to live an examined life.

2.3 I was once so confused about what to do in the future, it seemed to me that life was full of possibilities and I wanted to try every one of them.

2.4 It frustrated me that no one could try every possibility in life.

3 A psychological book called The Art of Choosing helped me out of my predicament.

3.1 This book told me that people are less happier and dont know what to do when facing too many choices, the happiest person is, usually, the one who never has to choose.

3.2 So I crossed out all other choices but one, and I felt so relieved even though it was not something Im so good at.

補充說明：《選擇的藝術》是我特別喜歡的一本書，作者是賓夕法尼亞大學心理學教授，她是一位盲人我就不多做介紹了，貼上百度百科：選擇的藝術_百度百科
