真题解析
没有新意——
当第一时间看到这个题目的时候，很是惊讶。这篇文章非常明显是一篇对立观点文章，而根据“潜规则”，2009年6月份考过一篇关于名字的对立观点文章，对立这样的文章一般是一年不可能出现两次的，所以，这次的题目在体裁和题材上毫无新意。
题目分析——
从2006年6月六级改革以后，议论文已经成为六级考场上的绝对主流，想必无论是学生还是老师，都对此类题目进行了充分的准备。12月份的题目写作框架如下：
第一段：现象背景介绍+引出话题（有人同意这样做以及理由）;
第二段：相反观点（不同意+理由阐述）;
第三段：陈述自己的观点并论证。
在这种完全不能在结构上略胜一筹的情况下，如何体现你的写作能力和文章价值，关键还是看你文章整体遣词造句的质量。还有，没有必要在这篇文章的论证理由上推陈出新，因为其实所有的理由没有对错之分，只有是否合适之别。下面给出我的范文，仅供参考。
范文列举
The life of children， especially those born and raised in the cities， is supposed to be full of joy， happiness， laughers and wonders. But the reality is not always the case. The rights above are being deprived by the various kinds of so-called art classes.
Some people hold that the classes do more good than harm to the development of the children. To start with， their sense of art can be cultivated and accumulated. In addition， it is the desire of the access to high-level schools that enables the children to attend such series of art classes.
The other side of the view， however， is quite the opposite. Firstly， the so-called classes are， to some extent， not the best choice for children to attend， which will ‘destroy’ their real art cells. What’s more， the unscientific trend of attendance of the art classes will， perhaps has， put some families into economic troubles.
As for me， the advantages and drawbacks of the phenomenon have never failed to appeal to me. It is admitted that attending some art classes will surely assist the children to develop in an all-round way. Obvious as the positive influence of the action is， the drawbacks can not be ignored， either. It might give rise to the missing of the golden time to discover the real interests and potentials the children should develop.
