Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.

In fact,They Are the Same Thing
Look at the picture.There are three different kinds of containers,in all of which is the same liquid—water.But they are labelled differently.Who has done it?Obviously,it is the producer of the commodity.The picture exposes some producers trickery to the public.
Let s go to the market.We can find such trickeries everywhere on the market.A very ordinary product is labelled with a very big or profound name.For example,what is called“Halike”is,in fact,popcorn.What is named“Kelijia”is,indeed,a kind of very common biscuits.
Why do the producers do this?They just want to make profits.
However,whether or not a product can get into the market and sell well greatly depends on its quality.Whatever it is labelled with,if it is a fake product,people won t let it go into their lives.Wh do Jingdezhen s china,Qingdao s beer,Tongrentang s Chinese medicine,and so on sell well on the market at home and abroad?All in all,they have the first class quality.
They product s quality is the life of an industy.Whether an industry can exist,gain the market and develop or not depends on its product s quality.Above all,good quality speaks louder than flowery and empty labels.
把这种“H2O”之类的东西略加归纳,揭示出其共性,发表作者自己的看法,就是本文的思路。这种思路运用的不是“纵向挖掘法”,而是“横向延展法”,其特点是用相似联想法进行横向延展,挖掘其共同的本质,再进行论述,阐明中心。
Help
After school Xiao Mei was going home.It was raining heavily.She held her umbrella walking in the rain.Not for away came a bus.When the bus stopped,an old lady got off.She carried a basket in her arm.For she had not umbrella,the old lady put a handkerchief over her head and walked quickly to prevent herself being caught in the heavy rain.Seeing this,Xiao Mei decided to help her.She went up to the old lady and shared the umbrella with her.Suporting the old lady with her arm,Xiao Mei sent her home.When Xiao Mei was about to leave,the old lady showed her great appreciation to her.Xiao Mei also felt very happy,for to give is much happier than to receive.

On Advertisements
Advertisements appear everywhere in the modern society.Good advertisements help to inform us of new products.They help us choose what we need.By telling us what is available on the market,where something is available and how one product differs from another,they may save us money and time.They also guide us in finding suitable jobs.The good advertisements are believable because they tell the truth and they themselves are true.
However,there are also some fake advertisements in the modern society.Actually,every producer says that his product is the best,or tries to give that impression.Therefore,consumers are often cheated by their flowery phrases and empty promises.
Look at the advertising pictures.In the pictures a boy is running to the old pumper with his toy car.He let the pumper pump up the toy car.The toy car becomes bigger and bigger.To one s surprise,the toy car becomes a real car.And the boy gets into the car at once and drives it away.This is an exaggerated advertisements.Anyhow,the toy car can not become a real one.These pictures expose the unhealthy phenomenon in the modern advertising.And every day thousands of people are cheated by such advertisements.
Advertisements,whether we like them or not,are pouring into our life.Not one can avoid being influenced by them.We can easily be persuaded by some advertisements.Unfortunately,this is often made use of by some producers.They pay much for advertisements,but pay little attention to the quality of their products.In this way,their advertisements are false advertisements.Together with other advertisements,they go into lives of people,who certainly don t know how to tell good advertisements from bad ones.
Therefore,to avoid being cheated by false advertisements,we should take a correct attitude:Let advertisements serve our life,but never believe them easily.
夸张的广告是虚假的,广告的生命力在于真实。文章从分析什么是真正的好广告谈起,接着简介、分析漫画,然后联系现实生活中出现的虚假广告及其产生的负作用,论证虚假广告的来源及其危害,最后表明我们对广告应持的态度。文章论证主次分明,有理有据,说服力强。Sending Away the Bragging Persons and
Employing the Talented Ones
The picture manifests a phenomenon in our society nowadays:those people in some enterprises select employees by relying on their boasting during the interview.They just listen to the candidate s introduction while caring nothing about his ability.Look at the three employers in this picture.They are giving the wouldbe employees balloons to blow,which actually means they are giving them an opportunity to brag.We can see nothing but balloons on the desk,so the young man blowing the balloons big,that is,who is good at boasting can easily get the job,while the other three candidates outside the office probably have got no chance to be employed.
There are indeed some people who are skillful in talking,especially in talking big.They boast their ability,wits,experience,and so on.Because of their excellent talent in bragging,they can easily be appreciated by some leaders.
However,if a company wants to run a good business,it should examine the wouldbe employees seriously and strictly,sending away the bragging ones and employing the talented ones.Only in this way can the company be prosperous;only in this way can the talented people exert themselves for our economy construction;only in this way can our economy develop speedily and steadily.
本文立意深刻,结构安排得当。除此优点外,本文还使用了一些值得我们借鉴的句式,譬如:最后一段中的最后三个排比句,它们都是状语前置、谓语部分倒装的强调句,既增强了语势,又突出了内容。
When One s Feather Is Full
The picture tells us a story of a hen and her son.Several years ago,the son left home for advanced study.His mother,the hen hoped earnestly that some day he would use his knowledge to make his poor hometown prosperous.Therefore,while seeing the chick off at the gate of the hut,she advised him to come back after finishing his study.To her disappointments,however,the learned chick,her son,is unwilling to return home,because he looks down upon his hometown for its poverty.
Obviously,the artist is comparing the hut to some poor or backward areas and the hen to the poor people there.And the chick is compared to those college students(including highly educated intellectuals)who refuse to go back to their backward hometown and contribute to its construction.
Nowadays,many students in faraway and backward areas regard entering colleges and universities as a means of leaving their poor hometown and becoming wealthy citizens.After passing the entrance examination to university with great efforts,they catch the chance of realizing their dreams.After graduation,they prefer to find jobs with good pay and conditions in cities,although they know their hometown is badly in need of qualified persons.This has become a social problem.How can those faraway and backward areas attract and keep their local educated students?We think the most effective way is to train their sense of responsibility for their homeland from childhood and to teach them take the poverty of their homeland not as a burden but as the motive of becoming useful constructors for it.
We hope the story of the hen and the chick will have a totally different ending some day.
文章对来自偏远贫困地区的大学生学成后不愿回去建设自己落后的家乡这一社会现象做了细致的分析,说明了导致这一现象的原因,指出解决问题的途径,最后,作者表达了自己的希望。文章语言简练,主题突出,说理透彻,值得大家借鉴。Giving the Seeings a Hand
In the State of Song,an old farmer planted a plot of rice.Every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow.He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day.But still,he though they were growing too slowly.He got impatient with the young plants.“How could the plants grow faster?”He tossed in bed during the night and could not sleep.Suddenly he hit upon an idea.He could not wait for daybreak.He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field.By the moonlight,he began working on the rice seedlings.One by one,he pulled up the young plants by half an inch.When he finished pulling,it was already morning.Straightening his back,he said to himself,“What a wonderful idea!Look,how much taller the plants have grown overnight!”With grat satisfaction,he went back home.He told his son what he had done in a triumphant tone.
His son was shocked.Now the sun had risen.The young man was heartbroken to see all the pulledup young plants dying.
People now use“Ba Miao Zhu Zhang”to describe the behaviour of those who are eager to get something done only to make it worse.The idiom is a bit like the English proverb:“Haste makes waste.”—to spoil things by excessive enthusiasm.
作者很注重细节描写,他抓住农夫是如何想办法以及在月光下拔苗等情节来写,突出了农夫的爱苗、助苗的急切心情,这样写使得故事的寓意更加深刻。
The Lazy Woman
In the old times,there once lived an unusual woman.She was much known for her extraordinary laziness.
In everyday life,her husband prepared everything for her.All she cared about was to open her mouth for food and to stretch out her hand for clothing.Her husband didn t like her living way,but he loved her very much.He was ready to do anything for her.They lived together smoothly for years.
One day the husband was to be out travelling for five days.Before he left,he baked a big cake enough for five days to be put in a ring round her neck for fear that she would suffer from hunger for being too lazy to cook by herself.After everything was ready,he started his journey,quite sure that she would not go hungry within the short time.But when he returned,he found her dead for three days.What about the cake?To his great surprise,he saw only the part of the cake near her mouth chewed off,with the rest left intact.
What a lazy woman she was!
文章作者通过自己的想像对画面做了恰当的处理和合理的组织,使懒妇被饿死的原因得以充分说明,读者读后,不禁感到啼笑皆非。
Protect Trees
One day,three young pioneers were on their way home,laughing and singing.Suddenly one of them caught sight of an unusual tree on the other side of the road.The tree s trunk was crooked with all the branches growing to one side,so they decided to do something to save it.Having knocked a strong stick in the earth next to the tree,they tied the tree to the stick to keep it straight.After all the things were done well,they also put up a notice near it saying“Take good care of the tree”.From then on,they came to water it every day.The tree grew better and better with new buds sprouting on the branches.When the teacher know their good job,she praised them.At that moment,they all felt proud and happy with beautiful smiles on their faces.

本文行文流畅,表格内容表述清楚,时态使用基本准确,可见作者写作基本功较好,语言朴实无华,并在文中使用了我们熟悉的一些词组和句型,读来令人备感亲切。
My Father Did It
It was almost 12 o clock at midnight.Little Tom was still busy with his math homework.Seeing this,his father came to help him and did the rest for him.
The next morning Tom handed in his homework on time.The teacher was very angry with him because there were so many mistakes in the work.The teacher asked angrily,“How can you make so many mistakes?”Tom was frightened and had to tell the teacher the truth.“I don t know.”said Tom,in a very low voice,“Maybe my father knows.He did it.”
Then after school,the teacher came to Tom s home with him.His father was astonished to see the teacher when he opened the door.“You did it.Right?”the teacher asked.Tom s father looked at the exercise book and nodded,without saying a word.“Since you did it,I ll beat you.”With these words,the teacher beat the father s bottom heavily.
此文的特点在于生动地描写了整个事情的发展,趋势壮语的运用,更加突出故事的趣味性。同时文中还用到了较多的词组,也增加了句式的变动。
Macao
On December 20,1999.Macao returned to the motherland.The national flag began to flow in the region.History has turned a new page at the turn of the century.Macao is an attracting island region,which lies on the southeast of Zhuhai.It is made up of three islands.The three separate islands have been connected by bridges.It faces Hong Kong to the east.It covers an area of about 23.5 square km with a population of more than 400 000.It has convenient transportation.Now guided by the policy of “one country,two system”,we are sure that Macao has a bright future.
该文所用语言基本上都是正式说明文体的语言,其中使用了定语从句、被动句。句型和搭配:which lies on the southeast of Zhuhai是非限制性定语从句。guided by the policy of “one country,two systems”是过去分词短语作状语表示方式。文中含有对澳门回归祖国的喜悦之情,也有对澳门未来前景的憧憬。
A Large Orchard to Be Built in Xiaguang City
Xiaguang City lies by a railway line,with a highway leading to Zhitai Port and Daocheng Port.It is one of the most important apple production bases in China.Apples grown here sell well both at home and abroad.
It is decided that a 100hectare apple orchard is to be built in the city,where new and fine foreign apple trees will be introduced.By 2005 the output of apples will come to 1 200 tons per year.The project will be started in May,2000 and completed by the end of 2001.80 000 US dollars is needed.
Businessmen in and out of the country are welcome here for a visit and business talk.
根据图画写文章,要仔细看图,抓住图中每一个信息,不可漏掉要点。With a highway leading to Zhitai Port and Daocheng Port这一with的复合结构的使用,使文章显得言简意赅,比起使用从句要好些。
Smoking and Health
Today smoking is a widespread habit all over the world.Not only the old,the youth,but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking.Many of them think that smoking is a smart symbol.
However,smoking is harmful to one s health.It contributes a lot to lung cancer,from which many people have died in the past years.It can also cause many other diseases.In a word,if you smoke,you do have a much greater chance of losing your health.Furthermore,scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves,but also a threat to public health,especially to women and children.Therefore,many countries have made laws forbidding smokers to smoke in public places such as cinemas,stations,hospitals and so on.
Give up smoking!If you don t smoke,don t start.Give up smoking for the sake of your health,for the sake of your family,and for the sake of the whole world.
文章作者首先指出吸烟不是个别现象,而是全社会存在的普遍现象,接着围绕吸烟有害于个人健康及吸烟有害于公众健康两点展开了讨论,论述充分、有说服力,最后作者奉劝人们戒烟。整篇文章结构严谨,观点鲜明,论述充分,是一篇好的议论文。
作者在最后一段奉劝人们戒烟时用了重复手法,三次使用了for the sake of短语,起到了增强语言气势、强调戒烟的必要性的作用。

本文是一篇图表看图作文,要写好这一类看图作文,关键是要以所给图表为中心,始终围绕图表作文,这样就能好好利用表中所提示的信息。上文就是这样一篇范文,作者始终以图表为主,很好地运用了对比说明的方法,仔细说明了从表中所能得到的信息,十分有效地使文章既翔实又不枯燥。
Persons in the Labor Force
This table(图表)shows the changing proportion of farm and nonfarm workers in the labor force from 1830 to 1970.The change is inverse;that is,as the size of the nonfarm labor force increases,the sizes of the farm and nonfarm occupation(占有率)are consistent through the years.
The proportion of farm and nonfarm workers was about equal in 1870.About 95 percent of the labor force were nonfarmers in 1970.The proportion of 70 percent of farmers and 30 percent nonfarmers in 1830 was exactly reversed in 1910.In 1830,70 percent of the labor force was required to feed a relatively small population,whereas in 1970,only 5 percent of the labor force was required to feed a large population.
本文分为两段,首段叙述了农业劳动力和非农业劳动力总的变化趋势;在第二段对表中的几个特殊点进行了说明。从一般到具体,结构简单清晰。首段的“inverse”和第二段的“reverse”用得恰当精练,为文章省了不少笔墨。“farm workers,nonfarm workers”,“farm labor force,nonfarm labor force”,“farm occupation,nonfarm occupation”及“farmers,nonfarmers”几组反义词的运用,避免了重复,使文章呈现出变化。

I m very glad to be invited to the English summer camp.
I prefer to go in July because I ll have to prepare myself for the new school term in August.It seems all the activities you offer are attractive and meaningful.But I d like to attend the English lectures,from which I can get more information on British and American culture.With the coming of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games,more and more foreigners are eager to know about China.So I hope to teach foreigners Chinese and spread Chinese culture.
It s been a dream for me to visit Beijing.Could you organize a tour around the city during the camp?
Thank you very much.
Yours truly,

本文完全按照题目要求来做,不仅对所选内容作了说明,而且说明了理由。在短文结束前提出了自己的建议:游览北京城。
文中运用了较多的复杂句型,如:because,but,from which,with the coming of等关联的内容。
A Brave Classmate
The bravest student in our class is Wang Ming,who is always ready to help others get out of dangerous situations.
One day Wang Ming and I were walking by the bank of a river.We heard an old woman s loud cry for help.We ran towards her and she told us that her little grandson had fallen into the river.Wang Ming didn t hesitate at all.He took off his clothes and jumped into the river.The cold water made him shiver,but he struggled on.Gradually,he approached the child,then he got hold of his hand and managed to carry the child ashore.
Wang Ming is so brave that he is loved and respected by the whole class.
本文的一大特点是构思巧妙。作者选了一个引言段,说明王明是一位乐于助人的勇敢的同学,这也是文章所要表达的主题;接着作者在第二段根据图意内容具体描述了王明的一次英勇事迹;最后作者在第三段指出勇敢的王明赢得了全班同学的热爱和尊敬。文章首尾呼应,主题突出。
A Traffic Accident
Last Sunday,an old lady aged about seventy was badly hurt in a traffic accident at the second crossing of Weimin Road.It was half past twelve,and there were few cars in the street at the time.The old lady was crossing the street when a young man rode a bicycle,rushed up and knocked her down.The accident happened so suddenly that it had been some time before the other people in the street understood what was happening.The old lady was badly hurt and couldn t move at all.Someone called the First Aid Center and soon some doctors came and carried the lady to the hospital in their car.The police said that it was the young man s fault because he didn t see the red light turning on.
该文采用了因果法,即先写明所发生的事件,然后再交代导致事件发生的原因。这种写作手法特别适合于报道一些突发性事件,强调事情发生得太突然——大家还搞不清楚是怎么一回事儿时,事情就发生了。关于这种情况大家只能事后寻找原因。
Production of Factory A
According to the graph,during the period from 1970 to 1979,there was a gradual decline in the production of radios in Factory A.It fell from 1800 sets per month in 1970 to 1000 sets per month in 1979.Thus,there was a total fall of 800 sets in the monthly output during those ten years.
On the other hand,there was a marked increase in the production of TV sets.The factory produced only 200 sets per month in 1970,but the output(产量)rose to 1200 sets per month in 1979.Thus there was a total increase of 1000 sets per month during the ten year period.The present output appears stable at 1200 sets per month.
本文结构清晰,“on the other hand”这一短语将曲线图涉及的两个方面加以区分。“a gradual decline”和“a marked increase”,“fell”和“rose”等几组对应词的使用,使文章结构趋于平衡。语言简洁明了,用词准确。内容反映了曲线图的大体特征和总的变化趋势,重点突出。
A Visit to Dongfang Farm
May 1st Sunday Fine
When the red sun rose in the east this morning,we,the students of No. 1 Middle School,left for Dongfang Farm.On the way there we marched in the line.Everyone was very happy.Some sang songs merrily.
One hour later,we arrived at the gate of the farm,where we were warmly welcomed.Uncle Li,the head of the farm took us to see the whole farm.There we saw many people working hard in the fields and learned a lot about vegetables and other crops.Until then did we realize that food doesn t come easily.
Around twelve o clock,we were offered a good lunch.After having it on the grass,we had great fun.Some danced,some sang songs,some played games,and others talked excitedly.We enjoyed ourselves very much.Soon it was evening,so we had to say goodbye to the people there.
What a good time we had today!
本文以日记的形式记述了“我”与同学们参观东方农场一事。作者按照时间顺序把参观农场的整个过程描述得有条不紊,详略得当。文章段落层次清晰,文笔流畅。短文第二段最后一句Until then did we realize that food doesn t come easily.是一个倒装句,在此起强调作用,说明直到那时“我们”才意识到食物来之不易,从而说明了“我们”在农场的收获是很大的,“我们”参观农场一事非常有意义。
Picking Up a Purse
An old man,wearing patched clothes,was sitting at a street corner begging,when a welldressed young man came.Just as the young man was passing by,he dropped his purse.The beggar saw it and stood up.“Excuse me,sir,”he said.He wanted to stop the young man with his hand in the air.The young man got angry and said rudely,“I don t have any money with me,so I don t think I can do anything to help you.”But the old man wasn t angry at all and said,“Excuse me,sir.Is this purse yours?I saw you drop it just now.”On hearing the old man s words,the young man s face turned red immediately.He just stood there and couldn t say anything.
作者按照时间顺序采用对比手法把图画中的内容写成了一篇生动而富有教育意义的记叙文。文章一开始就指出老人穿着破旧的缝了好多块补丁的衣服,而年轻人衣着得体;接着写到老人礼貌地搭话想让年轻人停下,而年轻人却很不高兴并训斥了老人。尽管如此,老人还是没有生气并把钱包交给了年轻人。作者对比双方的衣着、言语及具体行动的目的在于说明:一个人品质的高低是不能凭其外表来衡量的,这也正是图画内容所要揭示的主题。
The Relationship of Distances Between the
Driver s Thinking and the Vehicle s Braking
Some people don t believe that driving more slowly can save lives.But the truth of the matter is that driving more slowly can help a person to avoid serious accidents.
The illusration above shows the distance that it takes to stop a car at a given speed.The distance is measured in feet.The shaded area shows that driver s thinking distance.That s the distance that it takes the driver to react to danger that he sees.The white area shows the vehicle s braking distance.That s the distance that it takes for the car to stop once the brakes are applied.The number at the top of each bar show the total number of feet that it takes to stop the car.

写日记时所选择的主要时态没有规定。可以使用一般现在时,也可以使用过去时,应参照写日记当时的时态而定。如本篇中,前两句及中间对衣服进行描述的一句,针对写日记的时刻,是仍然存续的事实,因而用现在时,而有关晚会的一些具体活动,是已发生的事,故使用过去时。有关妈妈准备饭菜一事,是晚会前的事,所以使用过去完成时。
Offender
One day,Jack and I went to the cinema.We only had one bike and I sat at the back.Then we came to the crossroads.Suddenly we were stopped by a man and a woman.We were very surprised.What on earth happened?The man told us the truth.They were stopped by a policeman half an hour before when they came to the crossroads.The policeman told them to stop the next offenders.Then the man smiled at us and said,“Now it is your turn to catch the offenders.Bye!”That day we acted the“policemen”.We had an unfortunate day!
本文要点齐全,行文流畅,表达清楚,语言简练地道。What on earth happened/The man told us the truth/to stop the next offenders表达得不落俗套,非常得体,体现出扎实的语言基本功。但是,篇尾acted该用acted as,意为“充当,担任”。

Ideal Jobs
Dear Mr.Smith,
I have recently made a survey among 100 boys and 100 girls about their future jobs.
What boys like to do most is to become scientists and their second choice is to become businessmen.While the largest group of girls would like to be teachers,only a few boys want to do this job.It is interesting that the numbers of boys and girls who want to be doctors are equal.As for lawyer,more boys expect to have their job.However,there are still some students who are not clear about their future.
Yours,
Peter

Waiting for a Rabbit
There was once a farmer who worked very hard every day.One day when he was hoeing in the sunshine,he suddenly heard a low sound“Ping!”.He turned and hurried to the tree.He found a rabbit dying.He took hold of the rabbit and was excited.“What a rabbit!I ll have it for dinner!”Then he had a good idea,“Why can t I want for more rabbits here?It s cool under the tree.”So he dropped off his hoe and waited there.But day after day,there were no more rabbits coming.What was worse,all his crops were dead.
The story tells us that if you want to get something,you must work hard for it.Remember,“No pains,no gains!”
本文有几个特点值得借鉴:讲述故事开门见山,符合英语国家人的思维方式;文中使用一般过去时为主体时态,且有引语,使短文句子长短、句式富于变化;巧妙合理地使用连接成分,如:One day,Then,So,But,What was worse等,使短文行文连贯;结尾处进行总结,并以No pains,no gains!结束短文,升华了寓言故事的寓意,可谓锦上添花。The Bus
It was snowing heavily on Monday morning.Li Hua was at the bus stop,waiting for Bus No.601 to go to school.After a while,a bus came and she got on it.There were many passengers in the bus.Some were talking and some were looking out of the windows.Suddenly the bus stopped.The driver turned around and said,“Sorry.The bus has broken down.Please get off and help push the bus.”When they heard this,Li Hua and the other passengers got off the bus.They worked hard together,pushing the bus slowly forward.Soon the bus was running again.All the passengers were smiling and the sun was shining.
全文使用过去时,符合讲故事的要求。短文当中的句子主语各不相同,避免了全文使用“she”的毛病,句式结构丰富多变。既有Waiting for...,pushing...forward这样的伴随状语,又有after a while,suddenly,when,soon,and等连接成分,使短文既有条理,又行为连贯。如果能够再加上下面一句更好:Standing on the moving bus,Li Hua felt more than happy and warm.
Should Students Make Friends Online?
赞成的理由反对的理由你的看法1.广交朋友
2.可自由表达思想
3.利于外语学习1.浪费时间
2.影响学习
3.可能上当受骗?Should students make friends online?Some people say yes.The Internet helps make many friends.Chatting online,students can more freely express their feelings and opinions,and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others,however,think students should not.They say making friends online is a waste of time,which should be spent more meaningfully on study.Besides,some students get cheated on line.
It is my opinion that students should place their study,health and safety before other things.As for friendship,we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.
短文分为三段,第一段说明yes的原因理由,第二段是no的原因理由,第三段为作者自己的观点,层次清楚。文中使用了and even,however,besides,as for等连接成分,使短文行文连贯;结尾处进行总结。但是,如果能够加入:In a word,every coin has two sides.结束短文,可谓锦上添花。My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
主要原因考试偏多、偏难不用功、懒惰取悦父母、老师个人看法作弊不对、违反校规要诚实,努力学习……(其他看法)It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students,we often take examinations at school,but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us.On the other hand,some of us are lazy and don t work hard at their lessons.So when taking examinations,they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion,it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools.We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations.What s more,we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.
段落凸现了文章的层次,逻辑性强。联结成分as students,but,on the other hand,so,in order to,in my opinion,and,instead of,what s more等的恰当使用使短文行文连贯,一气呵成。A Broken Chair

周末活动(减负前)周末活动(减负后)白天:上课、做作业白天:参观博物馆、学习电脑、绘画等晚上:做作业晚上:看新闻、读书、看报就寝时间:11:30就寝时间:10:00Dear Dick,
I m very glad to hear from you.Now the students learning load has been reduced a lot.All this is due to the rule made by the Ministry of Education that every school must not leave too much homework for students to do after class.How happy we are since the rule was put into practice.In the weekends,we can visit museums,learn painting and how to operate computes.These changes could have never been thought of in the past.
But in my opinion,some people fail to realize the nature of reducing students learning load.Though teachers don t give us much work to do,parents force their children to put their minds into books after school.So we can see the rule cannot work by itself.We should let people understand the real meaning of reducing students learning load.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
这封书信感情真挚,流露出作者对减轻负担的欢迎之情。主题鲜明,言简意赅,内容翔实。并对一部分人,特别是家长对这一政策不能贯彻到底提出了批评,最后在结尾发出呼吁,“let people understand the real meaning of reducing students learning load”,使得文章具有更深的意义。不足之处是本文论述过于宽泛,没有较强的针对性。
Dear Editor,
I am a student of Sercior Three in a middle school in Fujian Province.
In order to make the most of learning materials our school is arranging an activity for us.It calls on the students of Sercior Three to donate their used books,newspapers,or magazines to the lower grade.The activity is aimed at promoting friendship and encouraging economy.The idea is very popular among the students.And it s highly prosed by the teachers.This activity will be held on the first floor of our library and it will last ten days from June 10th to 20th.
If we all make a small contribution to it,a great deal of resource will be saved.I m looking forward to seeing this meaningful and helpful activity going on in the future.
Yours,

Waiting on MidAutumn
It is MidAutumn Day,a traditional day of great importance for Chinese.Time now being a quarter past one,Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting for their son,daughterinlaw and grandchildren coming home,with those prepared,delicious,but already cold food set on the table.Grandpa gets his hands on a phone,wondering whether he should call to check out what happened to his offspring,while Grandma impatiently watches the closed door,trying to listen to the steps of her children coming home.What a terrible day,though originally scheduled for family getting together,celebrating the reunion.
People nowadays spending MidAutumn like Grandpa and Grandma are usual in modern society.With a society in fast lane,people s life has changed a lot.Usedto extended family separates into smaller family,typically away from the original family.And high pressure in work and life contributes to people s lateness of getting back home.So under the circumstances,how to maintain the traditional value is a question presented for everyone to think about.If those valuable traditions disappear,people would have a bigger problem to deal with:how to rebuild culture that has gone.
本文全面清晰地描写了画面内容,涵盖了所有内容要点;叙述应用了较多的语法结构和较高级的词汇;全文脉络清晰,分析到位,运用了必要的连词,从中可看出作者的语言功底较深厚。

Do or Don t
Do you understand this cartoon?Let me tell you.One day,the son wanted to help a little girl up when she fell over,but his mother stopped him and said,“Don t do that,otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down.”A few days later,the mother was shocked at seeing her son just let the fallen oil bottle be.She asked him why he didn t put it in place,but the boy talked back,“If I had straightened the bottle up,you would have thought that I did it.”
I disagree with what the mother did in the story.I think parents should set a good example to their children.They should not only care for their children s health,but their minds.They should let their children know it s a pleasure to help others who are in trouble.We live in the society which is a big family for all of us.Everyone should do something good to build up our society.

Health
保持健康的重要性保持健康的方法保持健康的结论你的看法1.多吃水果蔬菜,保持饮食平衡,避免含糖量高、脂肪含量高的食物:
2.多锻炼、强身健体;
3.改掉不良习惯。你的看法Health is far more important than wealth.Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career.On the contrary,poor health leads to nothing.Since health is so important,how to keep good health?
Firstly,it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins,and we have to keep a balanced diet.So we should avoid eating food with lots of sugar and fat.Secondly,we d better exercise every day to make our bodies strong.Besides,we have to avoid too much work pressure.Finally,we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health,such as drinking and smoking.
In conclusion,if we stick to the advice given above and keep a good mood,we will keep in good health.

Weather
New Zealand has good weather in all seasons.December,January and February are her summer months,and June,July and August are her winter months.In New Zealand,however,it is not very hot in summer and not very cold in winter.The highest temperature is only a little above 25℃ in Auckland,which is the“hottest”in summer in the country.The lowest temperature in New Zealand s winter does not reach zero centigrade.From summer to winter,the greatest change in temperature is in Queens town.
In New Zealand,it is not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter,so it is a good place for a visit.
该文是一篇图表型的关于新西兰气候的说明文。做这类题首先是认真读图,分析各个数据之间的关系。找出其共性与不同点,得出结论。本文先概括了新西兰的气候,然后从冬夏两个季节进行比较,结构层次非常清楚。最后,又用一句话来概括总结,描写了新西兰宜人的气候,前后照应,不失为一篇优秀的文章。
