A decision before an answer
- “science and technology科技to let / make让to live生活more更convenient方便” is a claim. It becomes an argument when you explain a benefit, its limit and why your conclusion still follows.
- Your goal: Write at least three hundred Chinese characters addressing an argumentative prompt.
Read the relationship
- The new level-six sample second writing task asks for an argumentative essay of at least three hundred Chinese characters, on science and human development in the sample. It is separate from the functional notice and replaces neither task with the legacy four-hundred-character summary. Share forty-five minutes between planning, drafting and checking both responses.
- Connect a position to evidence and explain the inference.
Which conclusion follows from the dictionary example?
The benefit depends on active contextual checking.
Use the defining rule
- Define a manageable position rather than asserting that technology is always good or always bad. State the criterion behind the judgment: access, reliability, time saved or human agency. Then choose an example that bears on that criterion and explain the link. A famous name without an explained connection is not evidence.
- Acknowledge a limitation without abandoning the main argument.
What makes an example support an argument?
The reader needs the inference connecting example and conclusion.
Check the conditions
- Acknowledge a relevant limitation: automated recommendations can save time while narrowing the information seen. Respond with a condition or safeguard that follows from the problem. although虽然…but但是… introduces a concession; therefore因此 connects premises to a conclusion. Do not label a consequence as a cause or treat one personal example as proof about everybody.
- Acknowledge a limitation without abandoning the main argument.

The need to verify follows from possible bias.
Apply the task format
- Review argument structure before polishing vocabulary: position, reason, example, qualification and conclusion should agree. Count Chinese characters conservatively and preserve time for the other writing task. Human marking examines fulfilment, reasoning, organisation and language; local factual checks cannot automatically score a whole essay.
- Acknowledge a limitation without abandoning the main argument.
Concession is not contradiction: explain why a qualified conclusion survives the limitation. Never market the old source-removal lesson as this new essay.
