題目分析：

1. 今天的小作文原題命中，是非常特殊的帶時(shí)間（1997和2007年）的餅狀組合圖表，無(wú)論是在新東方的面授課還是在雅思寫作月計(jì)劃，Shark 都一定會(huì)講到這種特殊的圖表，因?yàn)樗?/span>既可以作為靜態(tài)圖寫，又可以作為動(dòng)態(tài)圖寫，但動(dòng)態(tài)和靜態(tài)圖表的寫作側(cè)重點(diǎn)是不一樣的，我專門強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)它們的區(qū)別，同學(xué)們切不可寫混了。

2. 大作文是非常典型的 argument 類型，難度在于題目比較抽象，同學(xué)們?cè)趯懙臅r(shí)候要注意避免假大空，寫出細(xì)節(jié)豐富飽滿的文章，下面這篇范文的細(xì)節(jié)體現(xiàn)非常好，大家可以參考學(xué)習(xí)。

People have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on others nowadays. In my view, modern life forces us to be more independent than people were in the past.

There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on each other now. Firstly, life is more complex and difficult, especially because the cost of living has increased so dramatically. For example, young adults tend to rely on their parents for help when buying a house. Property prices are higher than ever, and without help it would be impossible for many people to pay a deposit and a mortgage. Secondly, people seem to be more ambitious nowadays, and they want a better quality of life for their families. This means that both parents usually need to work full-time, and they depend on support from grandparents and babysitters for child care.

However, I would agree with the view that people are more independent these days because it is more convincing. In most countries, families are becoming smaller and more dispersed, which means that people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to. We also have more freedom to travel and live far away from our home towns. For example, many students choose to study abroad instead of going to their local university, and this experience makes them more independent as they learn to live alone. Another factor in this growing independence is technology, which allows us to work alone and from any part of the world.

In conclusion, while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on each other more, my own view is that we are more independent than ever.
