You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

（一）预测范文

Living alone in the foreign land will offer greater opportunity to develop overseas students’ independence, their personality and many other interpersonal skills.

To start with, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts from a variety of countries and areas and are exposed to various ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of diverse societies and inevitably see my own country in a new light. In addition, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty—difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for one’s future life and development of personality.

Despite these obvious advantages, we should not overlook negative effects. One problem is the difficulty they have adjusting to a new culture. They may experience loneliness and homesickness, an experience so overwhelming that many could not endure it.

（二）参考译文

在国外独立生活能提供更多的机会来发展留学生的独立性、个性以及其他人际交往能力。

首先，在国外生活和学习使我用不同的视角来看待这个世界。在大学校园里，外国学生可能会遇到来自不同国家和地区的同学们，接触不同的思想和价值观。这帮助我对于迥异的社会拥有一种更有意义的理解，而且不可避免地用一种崭新的视角看待自己的国家。其次，海外经验，尽管可能令人沮丧和痛苦，但却大有裨益。一个出国留学的人经常经历更多困难——适应一种全新文化和独自解决所有问题的困难。然而，困难伴随着文化冲击导致的挫折，对于一个人的未来生活和个性发展而言是一种有益的经验。

尽管有这些明显的优点，我们仍然不能忽视其负面影响。其中一个问题就是他们适应一个崭新文化时面对的困难。他们可能经历孤独和思乡，这种经历如此深刻以至于很多人无法忍受。

（四）道长点评

目前，六级写作命题的反押题倾向非常明显，2012年之前多考查中文提纲式作文，2012年6月第一次考查图画作文，2012年12月开始考查引语评论类作文，2014年12月和2015年12月再次考查图画作文。笔者希望考生全面复习写作，扎扎实实提高写作功底，不要只寄希望于押题！

（五）句型拓展

① While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. 尽管一个人可以在家里学习外语，但是效果远不能和在学习和日常生活中不断使用这种语言相比。

② There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. 没有比住在讲这种语言的国家更能提高第二语言技能的机会了。

③ Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example, my English will be as perfect as native speakers. 例如，多年住在美国或澳大利亚这样的讲英语的国家，我的英语将会像母语人士一样完美。
