Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something. You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

An inspiring saying goes that “it is unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something”. Simple as the saying is, its meaning is profound and thought-provoking. Evidently, the saying indicates that what you hear or see may not be reliable, one should be cautious in drawing conclusions about things around.

While history abounds with examples to prove this saying, taking a look around, one can also find examples too many to enumerate. On a bus packed with passengers, some young people are sitting while an elderly is standing. If you don’t find out the whole story, you may jump to a conclusion that these young people are so rude and indifferent that they show no love and care to the elderly. But the true story may be that these young people have invited the old man to sit down before you came, even if they are quite exhausted after a whole day’s work, while the elderly is quite refreshed after a workout and he refuses to take the seat so that the young passengers can have a rest.

Bringing what has been discussed into a conclusion, we may say that it is unsafe to jump to conclusions upon what we see or hear. Before making a judgment, it is better to get to know the situation in a comprehensive way. Only in that case, can we reduce the risks of misunderstanding to the minimum.

参考译文

一个鼓舞人心的说法是，“就所看所听得出结论是不明智的”。俗话说得简单，其意义深刻而发人深省。显然，这句话表明你听到或看到的东西可能并不可靠，应该谨慎地得出结论。

虽然历史上有很多例子来证明这个说法，但是从身边看，我们也可以找到太多的例子来论证。在搭载乘客的公共汽车上，可能你看到一些年轻人正在坐着，而老人正在站着。如果没有看到整个故事，你可能会得出这样一个结论：这些年轻人是如此粗鲁并冷漠，一点也不尊老。但真正的故事可能是，这些年轻人即使在一整天的工作后相当疲惫了，但在你上车之前他们已经邀请这些老人坐下来，而老人在锻炼之后则精力旺盛，他们拒绝坐席并让年轻的乘客休息一下。

将所讨论的内容归结为一个结论，我们可能得出，仅仅靠我们看到或听到的东西得出的结论是不可靠的。在作出判断之前，最好以全面的方式了解情况。只有这样，我们才能将误解的风险降至最低。

题目要求我们论述：当看到或听到一些东西时不宜过早地下结论。根据题目，我们可以列出以下提纲：

第一段：解释含义，引出主题。

第二段：举例说明所见所闻不可信的原因。

第三段：我的做法，并做出总结。
