这道题是7月20日一个周四小考的题目，当天考试的考生相对较少。总有“烤鸭”向环球教育杨亮老师询问周四的考试是不是题目更难或者是更为简单。其实就笔者本身教授的两个科目口语和写作而言，考试难度与周四和周六毫无关系。

　　原题如下：

　　In recent years, more attention is paid to being “responsible tourists” for preserving the culture and environment of tourist places they go. However, some people think it is impossible to be a responsible tourist in the society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20170720

　　审题时，值得考生们注意的是，题目中第一句为背景句。而第二句才是这道题真正需要讨论的信息。

　　With advancement of tourism all over the world, misbehaving tourists are always put in the spotlight of the masses. Negative coverage like this even makes some people believe that being a responsible tourist seems impossible since there must be some known or unknown rules that they will break consciously or unconsciously. This essay will prove what they worry about is definitely wrong.

　　开头段，不仅仅是背景介绍和点题。在第三句，笔者也清晰地表达了个人的立场。由于题目较为简单，只讨论说到底人们是否可以成为有责任感的游客。很明显，成为有责任感的游客是一定有可能的。

　　Initially, tourists can become responsible by clicking their mouse for a couple of extra times while searching information of must-go places of their destinations. It is rather easy for them to find some webpage introducing culture and tradition of where they will travel. Having read something like this, they are more likely to understand some so-called odd behaviors of the local that they have not seen in their own country before. For instance, foreign travelers with some knowledge of Chinese culture and tradition will not feel uncomfortable while seeing many local people speaking extremely loudly in restaurants. According to their own culture, they do not need to behave as the local do, and they should not roll their eyes either.

　　主段一略长，重点说明想成为一个有素质的有责任感的游客非常简单。只需大家通过网页了解一下当地文化即可。这样更有助于游客对当地人的一些习俗和文化的接受。

　　Additionally, law-abiding tourists are obviously welcomed with open arms everywhere in the world. Travelers, undoubtedly, have to observe local laws and related rules and regulations of tourist attractions, although they may think some of them are irrational or unfair. Travelers’ violating rules and regulations inadvertently of tourist sites might cause some irreversible damage. An instance in point is that taking photos in some museums with many ancient paintings is completely banned, but some tourists really use their cameras without realizing how harmful the flashlight can be for those priceless paintings.

　　想要成为一个有责任感的游客，那么必须还得遵守当地的各项法律法规。这个就是主段二的中心思想。

　　In a nutshell, being a responsible traveler is not as difficult as some people argue. Meanwhile, nearly all tourists are willing to gain some wonderful memory from their trips but not biases or prejudices.

　　结尾段，再次点明主题，表达笔者立场。

　　成文仓促，多有不足，期待斧正。
