The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment.
These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

在托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作中，當(dāng)我們已經(jīng)根據(jù)已給題目確立了自己的觀點(diǎn)，并且有了足夠的分論點(diǎn)以此來(lái)支撐我們的中心論點(diǎn)后，我們就需要進(jìn)行有理有據(jù)的論證來(lái)使我們的文章更加有充分的說(shuō)服力。如果只是單純給出中心論點(diǎn)和一些分論點(diǎn)，而說(shuō)理論證不夠充分，會(huì)讓我們的文章顯得非常空洞，不足以支撐我們的立場(chǎng)。自然，這樣的托福寫(xiě)作文章是不會(huì)的高分的。由此我們就可以看出，充分的說(shuō)理論證是多么的重要!
那么，論證到底怎么才能有說(shuō)服力并且足夠充分呢?
我們可以根據(jù)這樣一個(gè)公式進(jìn)行：主題句+說(shuō)理+舉例(數(shù)據(jù))+總結(jié)例子+(反面論述)=充分論證
接下來(lái)我們來(lái)舉一個(gè)實(shí)例：
Advertising is the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits.
我們用分類(lèi)討論的方法來(lái)寫(xiě)這道題，按小孩子和成人分類(lèi)討論。
比如：我們的主題句：對(duì)于小孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，廣告的確是他們不良飲食習(xí)慣的罪魁禍?zhǔn)住?/p>
說(shuō)理：小孩子總是對(duì)新奇的東西充滿好奇心，而且他們的辨識(shí)能力差，不能理解廣告的真正意圖。尤其一些不健康食物的廣告，總是用夸張，誘人的手法大肆宣傳。小孩子更容易被吸引。
舉例：麥當(dāng)勞經(jīng)常會(huì)在廣告中夸大食品的尺寸和美味程度，有時(shí)候還會(huì)推出購(gòu)買(mǎi)套餐送兒童玩具的廣告宣傳，很多小孩會(huì)因?yàn)橄胍穱L美味的.食品或得到玩具而懇請(qǐng)父母帶他們?nèi)コ赃@樣的快餐。而麥當(dāng)勞的很多食品都是經(jīng)過(guò)油炸處理的，而且調(diào)味料也是比較多的，雖然好吃但是會(huì)使兒童一次性攝取過(guò)多熱量而導(dǎo)致肥胖或者其它疾病。
總結(jié)例子：正是因?yàn)閺V告夸張和誘人的營(yíng)銷(xiāo)手段，使得小孩子容易被吸引，從而導(dǎo)致他們養(yǎng)成不良飲食習(xí)慣。
反面論述：如果沒(méi)有這些誘人的廣告，小孩子就不會(huì)食用高熱量油炸食品，也就不會(huì)使他們養(yǎng)成不良的飲食習(xí)慣。
通過(guò)上面的舉例，我們就可以看出這樣一個(gè)完整的論述是非常充分且有說(shuō)服力的，因?yàn)樗星耙蛴泻蠊�有充分細(xì)節(jié)。這樣就能使讀者更認(rèn)同的觀點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然我們的目的也就達(dá)到了。
托福寫(xiě)作輔導(dǎo)提出在論述過(guò)程中，如果我們時(shí)間有限，在舉例的時(shí)候我們沒(méi)必要冥思苦想引數(shù)據(jù)，只需要填補(bǔ)一些重點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)，來(lái)彌補(bǔ)字?jǐn)?shù)的不足。同樣的，反面論證也可以有取舍的使用，只要字?jǐn)?shù)充足，時(shí)間允許即可。

In a spirit of gratitude and giving back to the parents who raised them, Bill and Jackie Merz"s daughters have extended a generous invitation.
“They both live in Chicago now,” said Bill Merz, 75, a retired Sacramento State psychology professor. “One was willing to put an extra floor on her house and install an elevator for us so we could live there. The other wanted to convert her basement for us.
”I told them we"d have somebody shoot us before we did that.“
The Merzes, who live in their own home at Eskaton Village Roseville, adore their extended, close-knit family, which also includes two sons in California and 11 grandchildren. But the idea of living with the kids in their older age leaves them cold.
”My first reaction was, "I don"t want you telling me what to do,"“ said Jackie Merz, who is also 75 and a retired teacher and counselor.
Most older adults tend to be a bit more euphemistic about it: Typically, they say that they don"t want to be a burden to their kids, or that they don"t want to impose. But statistics show a plainer truth. In huge numbers, seniors relish their freedom, and they want to live on their own as long as they can.
In the Sacramento region, US census figures show that almost three-fourths of people 65 and older live in same-generation (as opposed to multigenerational) households. National figures are even higher, with nearly 80 percent of older adults living in their own households – more than triple the number from the 1940s.
A recent survey from the research firm Gallup & Robinson highlights that sense of independence. While 53 percent of people below age 65 said they would take in an aging parent who needed their help, only a quarter of people older than 65 said they would accept an invitation to live with their grown children.
Those attitudes fly in the face of a stubborn cultural cliché, in which the grandparents, kids and grandkids grow older together under one roof – a holdover from the days when there was no choice but for the generations to live together, like it or not.
”I think the stereotype exists because we continually look retrospectively,“ said Bill Merz. ”It becomes a museum piece. Look at TV shows and movies about Christmas, the nuclear family they show.
“It hasn"t been that way since World War II. GIs didn"t come back from the war and move to Mom and Dad"s neighborhood. They moved to the suburbs or across the country.”
譯文：
比爾默茨和杰基默茨夫婦的女兒們一心想要感謝和回報(bào)父母的養(yǎng)育之恩，對(duì)他們慷慨相邀。
“她們兩個(gè)現(xiàn)在都住在芝加哥，”現(xiàn)年75歲的比爾?默茨說(shuō)。他曾是薩拉門(mén)托州立大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授，現(xiàn)已退休。“一個(gè)想要在她家的房子里加一層，給我們裝上電梯，這樣我們就能住在那兒了。另一個(gè)想把地下室改裝給我們住。”
“我告訴她們?nèi)绻@樣，還不如斃了我們。”
默茨夫婦住在他們艾斯卡頓村羅薩維爾區(qū)自己的家中，非常熱愛(ài)他們緊密團(tuán)結(jié)的`大家庭，除了兩個(gè)女兒，他們還有兩個(gè)住在加利福尼亞的兒子和11個(gè)孫子和孫女。但想到自己的晚年要和孩子們住在一起，他們感到很不快。
現(xiàn)年75歲的杰基?默茨說(shuō)：“我的第一反應(yīng)是：我不需要你來(lái)告訴我怎么做。”她曾是一名輔導(dǎo)教師，現(xiàn)在也已退休。
多數(shù)老人對(duì)此的態(tài)度會(huì)委婉一些。通常，他們會(huì)說(shuō)他們不愿成為孩子的負(fù)擔(dān)，或他們不想強(qiáng)行要求孩子接納他們。但數(shù)據(jù)卻更直白地反應(yīng)了真相。有相當(dāng)多的老人很享受他們當(dāng)下的自由狀態(tài)，想盡可能地自己生活。
在美國(guó)薩拉門(mén)托州，人口普查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，65歲以上的老人當(dāng)中有近四分之三和同代人一起居住，而不是多世同堂。全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)這一比例甚至更高，將近80%的老人住在自己的房子里——比上世紀(jì)40年代這一數(shù)據(jù)的三倍還要高。
蓋洛普暨羅賓遜調(diào)查公司最近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查便凸顯了這種自立感。65歲以下的人有53%表示他們?cè)敢馀c需要他們幫助的年邁父親或母親同住，而65歲以上的人只有四分之一表示會(huì)接受其成年子女的邀請(qǐng)與之同住。
這種態(tài)度公然挑戰(zhàn)了頑固的傳統(tǒng)文化觀念。在舊觀念里，祖父母，子女，孫子和孫女應(yīng)該在同一屋檐下生活，成長(zhǎng)，老去，這是從遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)代遺留下來(lái)的傳統(tǒng)——那時(shí)，無(wú)論喜歡還是不喜歡，人們沒(méi)有選擇，只能多代同堂。
“我覺(jué)得這種老思想仍然存在是因?yàn)槲覀兛偸窃谧匪葸^(guò)去，”比爾?默茨說(shuō)，“這玩意兒已經(jīng)是博物館里的古董了。看看電視和電影里核心家庭是怎么過(guò)圣誕節(jié)的。”
“自從二戰(zhàn)以來(lái)人們就不那樣生活了。士兵們從戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)歸來(lái)后，并沒(méi)有搬到父母的住宅區(qū)里。他們到郊區(qū)去居住，或在全國(guó)各地落腳。”
