低分答案


The amounts of money drug companies spent onTV advertisement has doubled. Patients ask for prescriptions based on drug company’s promotions on TV. Among 38 types of drug advertisements, information is technically accurate but tone is misleading. Depressed and insomnia patients believe that they can control their lives again by taking advertised drugs. But it is criticized that drugs should not be sold in a mass marketing way as soaps.


点评讲解


    1. 首先,需要注意检查语法,sst 10分/篇里面包含的2分语法分数,一定要把这2分稳拿了。第一句话中,the amounts of money的amounts语法上面就有错误。


   2. 通常高分的sst里面,不会出现太多数据信息,因为数据信息太过于具体了。录音中出现的38个广告,是起到了类似于例子的作用,其实是没有必要出现的。更多还是要提及到,由这38个广告,录音希望引出的重点信息是什么。


 3. 录音过程中不断出现speakers的切换,后半段出现的depressed and insomnia patients其实是例子,而这篇录音的难点,也就是在于对与这个例子的理解。一定需要提及到,none of the ads mentioned that the impact of lifestyle change could also help treat the conditions. 因为这是核心用来支持前面所提及到的tone is misleading这个信息。


 4. 最后一句话的逻辑也不是很好,录音过程中,明确有提及到after all, it is mass marketing.代表是一个总结性的语言。可以在句首放上 therefore作为逻辑连接。


老师答案


With investment in drug advertisements being doubled, commerials work as consumers approach doctors for prescriptions of drugs being advertised. However, drug advertisements broadcasted during prime time provide consumers with information, which is technically accurate, but tone of which is misleading. For example, advertisements described patients regained control of life after consuming drugs, without mentioning the impact of lifestyle change. Therefore, drug advertisements are just means of mass marketing.
