CELPIP Writing Task 2 要求您针对一道问卷问题选择一个选项，并用理由和例子为自己的选择进行论证。与 Task 1 的邮件格式不同，Task 2 考查的是您快速构建说服性论证的能力。
您会看到一个包含两个选项的场景（例如：“Should the city build a new sports centre or a new library?”）。您需要选择一方，并在 26 分钟内用 150-200 词解释原因。
范文展示：城市发展问卷
在拆解结构之前，请先仔细阅读这篇完整的范文。注意它是如何涵盖所选选项的每个方面的。
城市发展问卷
Survey Question: You live in a small town of 10,000 people. A large green area in the centre of town is undeveloped. The city has sent out an opinion survey to see what residents would like to have built in that area.
Option A: Shopping Complex — This shopping mall would include restaurants, a large supermarket, and a movie theatre.
Option B: Recreational Park — This park would include a sports complex, a large green area, and a small petting zoo.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Model Answer (CLB 9):
I believe the city should build a recreational park in the undeveloped green area. This option would provide lasting benefits for residents across all age groups.
First, a sports complex within the park would encourage physical activity and community engagement. Facilities such as a swimming pool, basketball courts, and a small gym would give residents affordable options for regular exercise. My colleague recently joined a fitness class at a community recreation centre and reported significant improvements in both her health and her social connections.
Additionally, preserving a large green area would offer families and individuals a peaceful space for relaxation and outdoor activities. Walking trails, picnic areas, and open fields would provide an essential escape from daily stress, something a shopping mall simply cannot offer.
Finally, the petting zoo would create a unique, family-friendly attraction that appeals to young children and draws visitors on weekends. It would also serve as an educational resource for local school groups learning about animals and nature.
For these reasons, a recreational park would serve our community far better than another commercial development.

Structure breakdown:
- Position statement (2 sentences): States choice clearly and previews the overall benefit.
- Reason 1 — Sports complex (3 sentences): Discusses facilities, benefits, and includes a concrete personal example.
- Reason 2 — Large green area (3 sentences): Covers relaxation, outdoor activities, and contrasts with the alternative.
- Reason 3 — Petting zoo (2 sentences): Highlights the family appeal and educational value.
- Conclusion (1 sentence): Restates preference with confidence.
Key takeaway: The response covers ALL three aspects of Option B — sports complex, green area, AND petting zoo. Examiners check that you address the full scope of your chosen option. Mentioning only one aspect would signal incomplete task fulfillment.
高分结构
清晰的四段式结构通常在这一题型中表现最好。上面的范文完美地展示了这一点。
1. 立场陈述（2 句话）
直接说出您的选择，再用一句话解释整体理由。
示例： “I believe the city should build a recreational park. This option would provide lasting benefits for residents across all age groups.”
2. 理由一 + 具体例子（3-4 句话）
提出您的第一个论点，并附上一个具体的佐证细节。点明人物、地点或具体情境。
示例： “First, a sports complex within the park would encourage physical activity. My colleague recently joined a fitness class at a community recreation centre and reported significant improvements in both her health and her social connections.”
3. 理由二 + 具体例子（3-4 句话）
引入第二个论点，并附上另一个真实的例子。多样性很重要，试着运用不同类型的论证方式。
示例： “Additionally, preserving a large green area would offer families a peaceful space for relaxation. Walking trails, picnic areas, and open fields would provide an essential escape from daily stress.”
4. 总结（1-2 句话）
用不同的措辞重申您的立场，保持简洁。
示例： “For these reasons, a recreational park would serve our community far better than another commercial development.”
字数目标： 立场（20 词）+ 理由一（50 词）+ 理由二（50 词）+ 补充细节（30 词）+ 总结（15 词）= 约 165 词。适当增加细节以达到 170-185 词。
60 秒内确定立场
您不需要真正的个人观点，您需要的是一个站得住脚的立场。按照以下决策路径快速做出选择。
快速决策策略
- 选择您能立刻想到两个具体例子的选项
- 选择拥有更多实际好处的一方（健康、金钱、时间、安全）
- 如果犹豫不决，选择影响更多人的选项
- 不要浪费时间权衡两方：果断选定，继续前进
两个例子测试法
在确定立场之前，问自己：“我能否说出两个支持这一选项的具体人物、地点或情境？“如果能，就选这一方；如果不能，就选另一个选项。
许多考生在做选择时浪费了宝贵的时间。请练习在 60 秒内选定立场，即使面对不熟悉的话题也要如此。
具体例子 vs. 空泛概括
CLB 7 和 CLB 9 之间的差距往往取决于例子的质量。
空泛（CLB 6-7）： “Sports centres help people stay healthy. Exercise is good for everyone and makes people feel better.”
具体（CLB 9-10）： “Sports centres help people stay healthy. My cousin David joined a volleyball league at the Burnaby recreation centre and reduced his blood pressure from 145/95 to 125/80 in four months.”
请注意具体版本包含了以下要素：
- 真实的人物（cousin David）
- 具体的地点（Burnaby recreation centre）
- 可量化的结果（血压数值）
- 明确的时间线（四个月）
常见错误
避免使用 “many people""studies show” 或 “it is well known” 这类笼统表述。考官希望看到亲身经历或具体观察，而非研究数据或统计结果。
提升分数的过渡词
巧妙运用过渡词能够体现连贯性（coherence），这是 CELPIP 的一项重要评分标准。使用以下过渡词来衔接您的观点。
引出理由
- First / To begin with / Initially
- Second / Additionally / Furthermore / Moreover
添加例子
- For instance / For example / Specifically
- In my experience / Recently / Last year
表示对比（提及对立观点时）
- While / Although / Despite / However
总结
- Therefore / For these reasons / Consequently / In conclusion
最有效的论证模式
先提出好处，再附上亲身例子，最后加入一个小对比来展现深度思考：“A library would educate residents （好处）. My daughter improved her reading skills through the summer program at our branch （例子）. While sports centres matter too, a library serves all ages and abilities （对比）.”
这种模式能增强连贯性，因为它在保持明确立场的同时展现了辩证思维。

练习：环境政策问卷
Survey Question: Your city is considering new environmental policies to reduce waste.
Option A: Ban single-use plastics in all stores and restaurants.
Option B: Invest in a city-wide recycling and composting program.
Choose the option that you prefer. Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
查看范文 →
I believe the city should invest in a comprehensive recycling and composting program. While banning plastics addresses one type of waste, a recycling program tackles the broader problem of waste management across all materials.
First, a city-wide program would educate residents about proper waste sorting and create lasting behavioural change. My neighbourhood recently introduced green composting bins, and within three months, our building reduced landfill waste by nearly 40 percent. This kind of systemic change produces measurable, long-term results that a plastic ban alone cannot achieve.
Additionally, a recycling program creates local jobs and generates revenue from recyclable materials. The City of Edmonton’s waste processing facility employs over 200 workers and diverts 60 percent of residential waste from landfills. Our community could benefit from similar economic and environmental advantages.
For these reasons, I strongly support a city-wide recycling and composting initiative. It addresses waste holistically while creating economic opportunities for our growing community.

练习：教育投资问卷
Survey Question: Your local school board has received additional funding and is deciding how to use it.
Option A: Purchase new technology (laptops, tablets, and smartboards) for every classroom.
Option B: Hire 20 additional teachers to reduce class sizes across the district.
Choose the option that you prefer. Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
查看范文 →
I believe the school board should hire additional teachers to reduce class sizes. While technology is valuable, smaller classes have a more direct and lasting impact on student learning.
First, smaller class sizes allow teachers to provide individualized attention to each student. My cousin’s daughter struggled with mathematics in a class of 35 students, but after transferring to a school with 20-student classes, her grades improved significantly within one semester. Teachers could identify her specific difficulties and offer targeted support, which was impossible in a larger group.
Furthermore, hiring more teachers strengthens the entire school community. Additional staff members can offer diverse expertise, lead extracurricular programs, and provide mentorship opportunities. When my local elementary school added three new teachers last year, they introduced a robotics club, a creative writing workshop, and an after-school tutoring program that benefited dozens of families.
For these reasons, investing in additional teachers would deliver greater educational value than purchasing technology that quickly becomes outdated.

自我评估清单
完成练习后，请对照以下标准检查您的作答。
自我检测
- 我在前两句话中清楚地表明了立场
- 我提供了两个不同的理由，每个都附有具体例子
- 我的例子包含真实的人物、地点或可量化的细节
- 我使用了三个以上的过渡词来衔接观点
- 我的回答在 150-200 词之间
- 我在结尾用不同的措辞重申了立场
5-6 项达标 = 表现优秀，3-4 项达标 = 仍需提升
时间管理分配
合理分配您的 26 分钟：
- 2 分钟： 阅读题目，选定立场，构思两个例子
- 18 分钟： 撰写回答（目标每分钟 10 词）
- 5 分钟： 检查并修改内容的清晰度、语法和字数
- 1 分钟： 最后扫读一遍，排查拼写错误
字数很重要
少于 150 词的回答通常显得论证不充分。超过 200 词不会自动扣分，但会增加时间压力和修改风险。建议将 165-185 词作为最佳目标。
反复练习这一时间分配策略，直到形成习惯。每次练习时务必使用计时器。
掌握这些核心要点，Task 2 就会成为可预测的得分机会。这套结构适用于任何问卷问题——只需填入您的立场、理由和具体例子即可。
