In many cities, planners tend to arrange shops, schools, offices, and homes in specific areas and separate them from each other.

　　Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages?

　　• 联系现实，就目前大多数城市而言，并不是按功能分区，除了工业会挪到郊区外，其余商业、学校、住宅都是放一起配套规划。

　　•【立场】站「弊大于利」

　　【段落示范】

　　【立论-弊端】

　　1. However, the detriments that this policy has must not be overlooked.

　　* 承上启下，表明接下来写坏处。

　　2. The most distinct one is that this kind of city planning can actually inconvenience residents.

　　* 总写坏处1: 不便利性。

　　3. To illustrate, separating those districts with a certain function means a much longer commuting distance if individuals wish to do more than one specific task a day, such as picking up their children from the school after work and then going shopping for some ingredients for dinner.

　　* 进一步解释坏处1: 根据日常所需，完成所有日程，需要绕一大圈，通勤距离变长。

　　4. Another problem is that there may be more traffic congestion, especially from the residential area to the office district during the rush hour, as people are very likely to have similar lifestyles and daily schedules.

　　* 坏处2: 人们往往有相似的作息，导致高峰期更容易拥堵。
