You should say:

Who you had the disagreement with

What the disagreement was

What happened

And explain how you felt about it

02、話題分析

“一次爭(zheng) 論”是一道經曆類新題，要把這道題講好就是聊清彼此的立場，以及矛盾點在哪裏。

關(guan) 於(yu) 選題方向，可以是一件生活小事（比如誰做家務、起床早晚、要不要關(guan) 燈、誰拿外賣、去哪裏玩等等），也可以是重要的大事（比如要不要留學/考研，要不要買(mai) 房，買(mai) 車選哪種，未來工作去哪裏發展）。

接下來我們(men) 聊聊這道題如何“串題”：

誰和你的爭(zheng) 論

“發小朋友”、“想要共事的家人”、“喜歡一起聊天的朋友”、“激勵你做有趣事情的人”

對於(yu) 什麽(me) 事產(chan) 生爭(zheng) 論

“想參加的比賽”（你不想參加，對方想你參加）、“保持健康的方式”（你不想運動，對方想讓你運動）“困難決(jue) 定最終成功”（對方反對你做某事，你堅持做了最後成功）

第一小問“Who you had the disagreement with” 你和誰爭(zheng) 論

先描述一下對方和你的關(guan) 係，是你的朋友/父母/同事/室友等等，然後描述對方的特征，包括了名字、個(ge) 性、目前的職業(ye) /身份等。緊接著可以結合“你們(men) 的關(guan) 係”+他的“個(ge) 性”聊一下你們(men) 對於(yu) “爭(zheng) 論”的頻次，比如我們(men) 經常會(hui) 就事論事，吵起來也不影響我們(men) 的感情，或者我們(men) 很少爭(zheng) 論，除非是非常重要的大事，再或者TA的個(ge) 性很強勢，想要我聽TA的安排，所以我們(men) 經常產(chan) 生分歧等等。

第二小問“What the disagreement was”爭(zheng) 論了什麽(me)

首先要交代一下故事背景，在什麽(me) 時間契機，你（們(men) ）決(jue) 定要做什麽(me) ，但是發生了分歧。然後和寫(xie) 雅思寫(xie) 作discuss both views類似，TA的觀點是什麽(me) +TA的理由是什麽(me) ，你的觀點是什麽(me) +你的理由是什麽(me) ，分別展開。

第三小問“What happened”後麵發生了什麽(me)

有需要的話可以補充你們(men) battle的時候，你做了什麽(me) 舉(ju) 措，TA做了什麽(me) 舉(ju) 措。最後就是圍繞溝通結果和事實結果是什麽(me) ，比如你們(men) 達成一個(ge) 共識，隻要你做到了什麽(me) 事，對方就同意你，或者你們(men) 因為(wei) 這個(ge) 事兒(er) 鬧僵了，彼此開始冷戰，後麵是誰先道歉等等。

第四小問“explain how you felt about it” 你對此有什麽(me) 感受

兩(liang) 個(ge) 角度可供參考，一是對於(yu) 事情的感受或對於(yu) 事情結束之後的反思，你可以覺得還好自己堅持，最後證明了自己能成功，或者以後還是得多為(wei) 互相考慮，不要太任性、要控製自己的脾氣等等；另一個(ge) 是對人的感受，比如非常感謝對方對我的包容，或者真的受不了對方強勢、控製欲非常強的個(ge) 性等等。

下麵是關(guan) 於(yu) 這個(ge) 話題可以延伸出來的思維圖：

03、答案示例

To be honest, I had a hard time coming up with something to talk about for this topic because I rarely disagree with my friends. I really didn't know what to talk about, but then I remembered an argument I had with my roommate a long time ago about who should sweep the floor.

I am not entirely sure when it happened because I do not have a head for dates, but I am guessing it must’ve been 2 or 3 years ago. At that time, I was still studying in high school and was sharing a room with my friend David. We would normally clean our room in turn. However, I remember, one day, I got sick and was having a headache. It was my turn to sweep the floor and take out the trash that day. But I did not want to do the cleaning because I felt really uncomfortable. My friend David was really unhappy with that because he thought that I was just lazy and was pretending to be sick. As a result, we just had a spat.

Anyway, how it was solved, well, I calmed them down first and then told him we should try to be understanding and learn to put ourselves in each other’s shoes. Both of us realized that we had been wrong, and we apologized to each other. In the end, David cleaned our dorm room. I’d say it ended pretty well.

The way I see it, I think it's okay to argue with friends and family sometimes, but the most important thing is to always try to talk things out with them.

亮點表達：

come up with 想出（觀點、想法)

have a head for 沒有...的頭腦

in turn 輪流

have a spat 發生口角

put ourselves in each other’s shoes 換位思考

talk things out 討論清楚，說出來
