答案     Should Homosexual Marriage Be Legalized?
    As a saying goes, "one man’s meat is another man’s poison". Cultural beliefs vary from one country to another. That is why we look at issues in different or even opposite manners. Even though some countries have legalized homosexual marriage, I do not think it should be legalized in the Chinese context in the near future.
    Chinese culture is a hierarchical and patriarchal one, with strong emphasis on family tradition. If homosexual marriage is legalized, the concepts of "family" and "marriage" will be challenged. This is a threatening force to destroy the foundation of Chinese cultural beliefs. For example, Chinese people are taught that "having no kids is the most unfilial act to your parents". That means if a couple cannot produce an offspring, they are most likely shamed and humiliated by their family members. As such, we can see that, in Chinese culture, one important purpose of marriage is to produce male heirs, to continue the blood line. Given this cultural context, it is not hard to imagine what kind of pain gay couples would suffer, for they could never produce their own children.
    In conclusion, unless the dominant understanding of marriage in China is changed, homosexual marriage should not be legalized in China.
解析     本题属于“立场选择型”作文，涉及的题材是“社会热点”。该题要求考生对“同性婚姻是否应该合法化”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下：
    开头：由一句习语人题，指出在中国文化里，同性婚姻近期内不应该合法化。
    主体：阐述原因。
    中国文化等级森严，同时也是父权的文化，对家庭传统十分重视。“不孝有三，无后为大”。在这样的文化下。同性婚姻的双方会受到煎熬。因为他们／她们永远也无法生出自己的孩子。
    结尾：如果中国对婚姻的观念没有改变，同性婚姻就不适合在中国合法化。
