第一種思路，把重點放在“不同的看法”上，然后略寫自己的觀點(支持其中一個觀點，或者當“和事佬”，說具體問題具體分析)。這時，要重點考慮：支持請家教的觀點有什么?(激發(fā)學生學習興趣、培養(yǎng)學生交際能力、提高成績、充分利用時間，等等。)反對請家教，有什么理由?(沒有必要，課堂上學好的話，不必請家教；作用不大，如果學生自己沒有主動性，請廠家教也沒有用；占用過多學生自主學習、游玩的時間，不利于學生的健康發(fā)展；等等。)

第二種思路是把寫作重點放在“我”的看法上。就如范文那樣，先簡要介紹存在的不同看法，然后著重論述自己的觀點。當然，自己的觀點可以是支持，也可以是反對，但總的說來，要言之成理，要有邏輯性，沿言要銜接、連貫、自然。

Analysis

[1]對應outline的第1條，簡要說明現(xiàn)象

[2]對應outline的第2條，說明存在兩種不同的看法。

[3]對應outline的第3條，提出自己的看法。文章剩余部分就用來論證自己的看法。

[4][6]是[3]的支持句。用first，second關聯(lián)。

[5][7]分別對兩個分論點予以展開；

[8]用inoneword總結自己的觀點。
