本场综合写作谈论了一个与历史人物相关的事件的真实性。历年真题考察过相似话题，例如欧洲人15世纪左右就到达澳大利亚，一个航海家从爱尔兰到北美，有一人先于莱特兄弟成功试飞飞机。TPO中相关真题较多，TPO3,TPO8,TPO12,TPO28。

可以类比下列TPO综合写作

TPO8 Chevalier’s memoir

阅读总观点：Chevalier写的回忆录中包含虚假内容。

1.回忆录中他说自己在瑞士生活富裕，但是证据表明他借了一大笔钱。

2.他和伏尔泰对话发生多年后才写的回忆录，所以对话内容可能不准确。

3.回忆录中他说自己曾经在威尼斯监狱撬开天花板越狱，但是批评家们指出更可能是监狱人员受贿放跑了他。

听力反驳：

1.借钱不代表他很穷，可能是因为他的资产变现需要点时间，导致先借现金周转。

2.他每次和伏尔泰对话后当晚会记笔记，写回忆录期间有人目击他经常翻笔记。

3.其他背后有靠山的狱友没有成功越狱证明贿赂不太可能发生；另外他越狱后他的牢房有屋顶维修的政府记录。

题目解析：

4月10日的独立写作真题重复了2017年12月17日旧题，朋友要节省开支，我们该给他什么建议--室友合住，少买新科技产品，还是买便宜食材。三选一的题目快的破题方法捧一踩二。第 一段支持我方观点--找室友合住不仅能分担房租水电等费用，还能获得陪伴和帮助；第二段反驳选项二--科技产品更新慢并且寿命长，少买新版本并不能节省很多钱；第三个主体段反驳选项三--便宜的食材可能造成营养不良或疾病。

Recently I have just welcomed my new roommate, one of my middle school classmates, and living with her has been a delightful experience. Therefore, if I am asked to make suggestions to help my friend who is on a tight budget, I will advise him to find a roommate instead of reducing consumption.

To begin with, having a roommate means we can share rent and electricity bill together. Sometimes these fees can account for a quarter of our monthly income and splitting this bill fifty fifty can help reduce our economic burden. Take myself as an example. Before living with my classmate, I had to spare more than 4000 Yuan for diets and shelter every month. However, now my roommate and I share our basic living expenses. More fortunately, under her supervision, I have learned to keep an account and stop spending arbitrarily; with her company, I can always have someone to talk with or to turn to.

Compared with finding a roommate, buying new technology products cannot help reduce daily expenses at all. It is possible that upgrading or repairing technological products will cost us a large sum of money. However, most products’ durability and warranty policy indicate that we have only a slim chance of paying for upgrades and maintenance. For example, those household appliances such as refrigerator, oven and washing machine usually have a long lifespan up to 3 years and at least a full one-year warranty. In this case, manufacturers or service suppliers bear the cost once these machines need to be replaced or refitted. Thus, it is impractical to count on keeping the old versions for a longer time as an effective method to tighten our belt.

Admittedly, cooking at home seems to be far more economical and healthier than dining in restaurants. Generally homemade dishes are associated with no pesticide residues, no excessive additives, and no premium. Nevertheless, money saved by shopping inexpensive groceries is just a small sum. According to my life experience, this figure could be around 80 Yuan per week. In addition, we ought not to forget one important factor, ingredients’ quality. Those cheaper food materials are often substandard and perishable. It is not improbable for a diner to suffer from malnutrition or illnesses after long-term intake of low-quality food.

Given the above points, it is more recommendable for my friend to find a roommate so as to reduce living expenditures.
