Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语：

Fluent, but sometimes lengthy explanations, indicating a deep knowledge base that needs refining into concise, structured arguments. 流利，但解释有时冗长，表明知识基础深厚，需要提炼成简洁、结构化的论点。

Written: 书面：

Handwriting is poor, making the text difficult for the marker to read; the introduction lacks clear signposting and precise focus relative to the question's specific demands (time period, extent of agreement).

5. Subsequent Teaching Suggestions 5. 后续教学建议

Teaching Strengths 教学优势

Identified Strengths: 识别的优势：

Strong emphasis on 'helping the marker' through clear presentation (handwriting, structural formatting). 通过清晰的展示（书写、结构格式）强调“帮助阅卷人”。
Detailed guidance on structuring the introduction to explicitly state the argument, criteria (the three elements of equality), and overall judgment. 在构建引言方面提供详细指导，以明确陈述论点、标准（平等的三个要素）和总体判断。

Effective Methods: 有效方法：

Using concrete examples of good phrasing ('By just that change there...', 'To answer your question...') to demonstrate confident writing. 使用具体的良好措辞示例（“通过仅仅那个改变...”，“为了回答你的问题...”）来展示自信的写作。
Breaking down complex evaluation points into manageable sections (e.g., first 60 years vs. after 1920). 将复杂的评估点分解成可管理的章节（例如，前60年与1920年后）。

Positive Feedback: 正面反馈：

The essay plan itself was noted as detailed and clever. 论文计划本身被认为详细且巧妙。

Next Teaching Focus 下一步教学重点

Re-drafting the introduction to ensure absolute clarity, precise focus on the question's constraints, and proper signposting. 重写引言，确保绝对清晰、精确地关注试题的限制条件，并进行恰当的指示。
Applying the established structural rule (first sentence of paragraph = main point) consistently across all body paragraphs. 将既定的结构规则（段落的第一句话 = 主要观点）一致应用于所有主体段落。

Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Handwriting & Presentation: 书写与呈现：

Practice writing slowly and deliberately, ensuring all text, including full stops, remains on the line. 练习缓慢而刻意地书写，确保所有文字，包括句号，都保持在行内。
Use visual aids like underlining with a ruler and ensuring clear line breaks between sections to aid the marker. 使用尺子下划线等视觉辅助工具，并确保章节之间有清晰的行间距以帮助阅卷人。

Structure & Focus (Introduction): 结构与焦点（引言）：

The introduction must define key terms (like 'gender equality') and explicitly outline the three areas of analysis (e.g., political, social, economic rights) and the overall judgment/thesis BEFORE delving into evidence. 引言必须在深入研究证据之前，明确定义关键术语（如“性别平等”），并概述分析的三个领域（如政治、社会、经济权利）和总体判断/论点。
Ensure the first sentence of every body paragraph mirrors one of the outlined key points/criteria from the introduction, maintaining focus. 确保每个主体段落的第一句话都与引言中概述的一个关键点/标准相对应，以保持焦点。

Argumentation: 论证：

When addressing the 'how far did reasons remain the same' aspect, address the entire time period given (127 years) rather than focusing only on the period where change occurred (post-1920s). Acknowledge long periods of stasis. 在处理“原因在多大程度上保持不变”时，应涵盖给定的整个时间段（127年），而不是只关注发生变化的时间段（1920年后）。承认长时间的停滞。

Recommended Supplementary Learning Resources or Homework 推荐的补充学习资源或家庭作业

Review the uploaded essay pictures focusing specifically on the teacher's vague feedback ('focus/precision') and apply the structural advice given in this session to rewrite the introduction. 复习上传的论文图片，特别是关注老师模糊的反馈（“焦点/精确性”），并将本次课上给出的结构建议应用于重写引言。
