4. 全文至少有一个驳论 (针对自己不同意的perspective)

郭洁老师提醒到这一点要求我们不仅陈述自己立场的理由，还需要回应反方立场的反驳。一定要注意要站在同一个层次进行反驳，不能出现“虽然农村空气很清新，但是城市生活更便利”这种不在同一个层次的反驳(一个站在环境角度，一个站在便利性角度)。 以“Intelligent machines”题目为例，我们同意观点1 “What we lose with the replacement of people by machines is some part of our own humanity.”

此时观点1的对立面——-观点2：Machines are good at low-skills, repetitive jobs, and at high-speed, extremely precise jobs. In both cases, they work better than humans. This efficiency leads to a more prosperous and progressive world for everyone.

我们既可以反驳“intelligent machines work better than humans”这个比较逻辑：机器和人不能进行同质化的比较。对于机器效率和功能上的痴迷，会让人们把人类和机器进行同质化的比较，把人也当作一种具有特定功能的机器，而一旦人类丧失了那些特定功能，将会被认为不再具有价值。也可以反驳后面: 机器非但不会让世界繁荣，反而会导致就业市场的萧条。

5.全文至少有一个具体的例子/若干个微例子

在官方最开始放出来的范文第二段中用了一个cotton gin(轧棉机)的实例，来源真实(来自美国历史)，细节丰富(时间：in the 18th century & in the mid-19th century; 地点：

in the Southern United States;人物：Eli Whitney, an American entrepreneur;事件：invented the cotton gin;结果：replaced the need of a large work force;数据：increasing by more than 10 times)，且一例两用，同时支持perspective two和perspective three。

在官方后来放出来的范文第三段中则使用到了多个微例子构成排比结构，“People have been interacting with automation in nearly every aspect of their lives, whether it be shopping, banking, or the use of a telephone.”

而这三个微例子的并列也恰恰是在sample prompt部分有所提示的：“Robots build cars and other goods on assembly lines, where once there were human workers. Many of our phone conversations are now conducted not with people but with sophisticated technologies. We can now buy goods at a variety of stores without the help of a human cashier.”因此，我们也可以巧妙利用题目中已给的例子嵌入自己的文章中。

最后祝大家在ACT考试中取得理想的成绩! 两分钟做个小测试，看看你的英语水平
