　　On the Importance of a Name

　　【如何破题】

　　题目本身乍一看令人颇感意外，名字是我们再熟悉不过的东西，古云：留子良亩，不如教子一艺，教子一艺，不如赐子佳名。命名的重要性近年来作为社会热点之一，不仅避开了目前存在的猜题押题现象，而且考查的是学生有话可说的话题，可以说立意非常好。

　　从体裁上来看，这次的题目完全属于正反观点对比加个人观点阐述的传统三段论的格式，难度较低。根据提示，可对文章结构安排如下：

　　第一段：有人认为名字很重要，并举例说明，解释原因。

　　第二段：有人认为名字不重要，从反面进行论证。

　　第三段：我的观点，或赞同，或否定。

　　根据作文的评分原则，建议考生在下笔时应该从三个方面加以考虑：一是语言，六级考试从根本上来讲是语言水平的测试，要重视语言运用的准确性及多变性；二是结构，关联词的使用和词汇的变换会让阅卷老师觉得文章结构严谨，层次分明；三是内容，议论文的论据一定要充分说明论点，不要空洞。

　　【范文解读】

　　On the Importance of a Name

　　主题句引出本段论点：有人认为命名很重要。

　　展开论述：名字在一定程度上是一个人一生的缩影，好的名字会让公司兴旺发达。

　　指出人们找算命先生取名的心理。

　　Some people deem that it is of great importance to name a baby, shop or company. Name, as an epitome of a person in a certain sense, will be with him for his whole life. No wonder they attribute bad luck to the name whenever trouble arises. As for a shop or company, a good brand name is considered as a prosperous symbol. Thats why people and companies go to fortune-tellers for great names.

　　自然过渡，引入不同观点。

　　论点支撑：名字仅是代号，成功取决于个人奋斗。

　　However, others hold the opposite view. They argue that a name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing, to which people should not attach too much superstitious concepts. Whether or not a person will get somewhere depends on how much he has paid out.

　　全文总结：赞成第一种观点。

　　简述理由：名字折射出了个人的抱负、兴趣和追求，还有家庭的美好愿望。

　　As far as I am concerned, I share the first viewpoint. Name is more than a sign. I am fully convinced that we can make out the familys best wishes as well as the persons ambition, interest and pursuit from the information the name conveys.
