首先先说下这次考到的题目如下：
1. ISSUE

我们主要通过社会群体的认同来定位自己。

In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
点评：这道考题本身偏冷门，难度也不低，下面是集团韦晓亮老师所著作文大讲堂的解析：
【本题涉及的论证概念以及论据素材】
[1]. 个人价值观受外在环境的影响 Personal values evolve from circumstances with the external world and can change over time. Integrity in the application of values refers to its continuity; persons have integrity if they apply their values appropriately regardless of arguments or negative reinforcement from others. Values are applied appropriately when they are applied in the right area. For example, it would be appropriate to apply religious values in times of happiness as well as in times of despair.
[2]. 群体心理学的概念 Crowd psychology is a branch of social psychology. Ordinary people can typically gain direct power by acting collectively. Historically, because large groups of people have been able to affect dramatic and sudden social change in a manner that bypasses established due process, they have also provoked controversy. Social scientists have developed several different theories for explaining crowd psychology, and the ways in which the psychology of the crowd differs significantly from the psychology of those individuals within it. Carl Jung coined the notion of the Collective Unconsciousness.
[3]. 社会认同理论 Social identity theory In intergroup contexts the social identity corresponding to membership of the relevant group or social category structured perception, being, and behavior. Tajfel defined social identity as "that part of an individual's self-concept which derives from his membership of a social group (or groups), together with the value and emotional significance attached to this." Social identity theory states that our identities are formed through the groups to which we belong. As a result we are motivated to improve the image and status of our own group in comparison with others.
2. ARGUMENT
36/163/166
36. The following memo appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.
"An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. This shows that eating a substantial amount of fish can clearly prevent colds. Furthermore, since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school and work, attendance levels will improve. Therefore, we recommend the daily use of a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism."
我们注意到一种新的可以保证显著减少学校和工作岗位缺席的疗法。一项研究显示在附近的EM，鱼的消费量很高，那的百姓每年因为感冒去看医生的次数每年只有一两次。这表明吃大量的鱼很明显可以预防感冒。另外，由于感冒是缺课和缺席的最常见原因，所以出席率也将会提升。因此，我们建议每天服用从鱼油提炼出的营养物以来有效的预防感冒和减少缺席。
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
点评：吃鱼治感冒是Argument的经典题目，这点无需多说。解析如下：
1. 作者没有提供充足的证据证明吃鱼能够防治感冒，可能East Meria的人本身体质好，或者有锻炼的好习惯
2. 作者也没有提供充足的证据证明感冒导致了大多数的缺席：有的人可能是装病；或者误以为感冒。
3. 其他因素：即便是吃鱼能够防治感冒，也没有证据证明吃从鱼油中提炼出来的Ichthaid也能够防治感冒；此外，Ichthaid是否有严重的副作用并没有说明。
