55. Should people make important decisions alone?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person should never make an important
decision alone. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
『分析』
不能同意这个观点。Never是绝对修饰词。
确实，很多的时候独自做出的决定是错误的。因为做出正确的决定需要完整的信息。
然而，也有些时候必须独自做出决定。比如，战场上的指挥官。并且，很多独自做出的决定并不是错
误的。
所以，只能说one can not be more careful to make an important decision。
Edited by Lost Lawyer
可以写一篇短文，how to make a sound decision。这样，在应对[55]、[61]、[120] 的时候都可以用到
『范文』
Important decisions are those that will have a significant or lasting impact on a person's life. Oftentimes such a
decision is difficult to make because the consequences are considerable or because the decision's circumstances
and implications are complex. As a result, people will consult friends and family for their opinions to get a better
understanding of the situation. Seeking advice is helpful because it helps to avoid pitfalls and precludes
carelessness, but in the end the person who has to live with the decision should make it by himself/herself.
Discussing important decisions with others can be beneficial, especially if the person one is conferring with has
experience with the problem at hand. For example, in order to be able to decide between continuing one's
education after finishing four years of university studies and finding a job, it is helpful to talk to people who have
made this decision. A person who decided to find gainful employment will probably give different advice than a
person who decided to stay in school. Listening attentively to both will allow a person to make the best
assessment of his/her own situation as he/she will be able to learn from others' experiences.
At the same time, one should consider the opinions and feelings of the people who will be impacted by
his/her decision. For example, husband and wife should confer with each other before making up their mind to quit
or change a job. After all, the change of a job can impact many aspects of their life together, such as the household
income or the amount of time they can spend together.
However, one should not allow or even ask others to make an important decision on one's behalf. After all,
he/she will be the one with all the information at his/her disposal, especially after seeking advice from others.
Ultimately, the person who has to live with the decision (in so far as it is a personal decision that does not affect
others directly in a significant way) should take complete responsibility and make it himself/herself.
