描写最喜欢的食物
【命题原则】
描述喜欢的饮食属于夹叙夹议文。这类文章语言地道、寓意深刻、可读性强。文章常常在平淡的叙述中蕴含着深刻的人生哲理。此类文章注重短文本身的教育意义。
【写作要点】
写作时，作者首先叙述一件事或描述一个观点，在叙述过程中或结束后发表自己的看法或由此事引出一个深刻的社会问题。文章的显著特点是首句直入主题，传达一个事件信息或透视一种社会现象，而后对此进行评价，或由此引发一种深层次思考，具有记叙与议论的双重性，文情并茂，发人深思。
【常用话题表达】
①One reason for this is that…
②Another reason is that…
③To solve this problem, first, it is better…
④Second, we should…
⑤Last, we'd better…
⑥I think these ways will…

【优秀范文】
Recently many students in our school aren't having breakfast or eating other meals throughout the day. Instead they are choosing to eat some junk food. This is really a problem.
One reason for this problem is that many students love eating junk food, but don't know what effects it can bring to their health. Another reason is that there are only a few types of food in the canteen for students to choose from.
To solve this problem, first, we can hold lectures or speech contests on healthy eating, which will make students realize the harmfulness of junk food. Second, the canteen should offer a wide variety of food. Last, we'd better call on parents to help their children form good eating habits. I think these ways will help students keep a healthy diet.(共52张PPT)

(2020·山东省青岛市高二下学期期中)
I was a mother of four children, working at a low paid job. Money was always valuable, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes in the wardrobe. I always tell myself to be brave and strong. I hope all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children can grow up healthily. It was Christmas time. We drove downtown to see the Christmas lights, and enjoyed a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was
the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of the season of goodwill. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered (分散) with the bill. I sat at a table in a café waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy day.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about Christmas, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought. I noted Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars—fifty cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty dollar bill I had given her I was so angry. After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars. What do you want to do with the rest of the money？”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears.
____________________________________________________________|
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
My anger disappeared. ____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
One possible version：
She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears. She explained to me what had happened. “I was looking around, wondering what to buy, when I found the ‘Giving Trees’ with many lovely little cards on it. Out of curiosity，I stopped and read one of them. It was for a four year old girl. All she wanted for Christmas was a doll. Although I had only 15 dollars left, I thought of the poor girl. I had bought sweets for my Christmas. Mom, we had so much but she didn't have anything. So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. ”
My anger disappeared. I smiled at her and felt a great relief. I never felt so rich as I did that day. My efforts paid off. Yes, we were living a poor life. However，my children had learned to care about others. They had known the significance of kindness and giving. That was what I had for my Christmas.
