2010年12月的六级作文题密切联系社会热点，属于对立观点型题目，即提出有争议的社会话题，请考生分析人们对这一问题的不同看法（赞成vs反对）。

 题目含三个要点。可把第一点扩展为引言段，快速人题。第二点宜扩展为主体段，分析不同的看法。可从赞成和反对两方面展开，注意双方的观点在篇幅上大致相同及两种观点之间的转折过渡。第三点宜扩展成结尾段，亮出自己的观点，然后再用一两句话简述理由。请参阅下例：

Currently the ranking of colleges is very prevalent in China, fueled by parents who are eager to look for guidance and universities which spend lavishly to raise their standings.

 But there has been much debate about the value of such rankings. Some experts speak highly of the rankings, noting that.the league tables are useful to college-bound students and their parents. The view is echoed by a 2009 study, which concludes that the rankings spur universities to do a better job of educating students. Others, however, cannot share this point of view. They dismiss the rankings as pointless, bluntly pointing out the dubious statistics used in the rankings. They think the very idea ridiculous that universities with very different cultures and programs can be compared.

 As for me, I side with the former view. Though it is incredibly difficult to judge how well a university performs, it does not necessarily mean the panorama of a university is unavailable.
