Read the instruction 指令 family
- Two Issue prompts share a topic but end differently: one asks you to "address the most compelling reasons someone could use to challenge your position"; another asks you to "describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation 建议 would or would not be advantageous".
- The topic is the same; the required move differs. A strong response is built around its specific instruction.
Common instruction families
- Extent of agreement: explain how far you agree, including when the claim may not hold.
- Challenge: address the strongest objections to your view. Recommendation / policy: discuss consequences and circumstances.
- Two views: discuss which view aligns more closely with yours, addressing both.

Build the response to fit
- Thesis that answers the instruction directly: "I largely agree, but the claim fails when…" / "The recommendation is advantageous in X but harmful in Y."
- Each body paragraph should perform the required move, with an example and an explanation.
Recommendation prompt: "Universities should require all students to study a foreign language." Fitting thesis: "The requirement benefits students in internationally oriented fields, but for students in intensive lab programmes, flexible options would serve them better." — it names circumstances, as instructed.

- End by returning to the instruction's exact wording.
“It depends” is a strong qualification on its own.
