No More Mystery in the Neighborhood
Last week, in a quiet neighborhood, something strange happened. People found there were more and more trees in the neighborhood. In the daytime some people tried to find out who was planting these trees, but they couldn’t. Everyone felt uneasy.
We now know what was happening in the
neighborhood.
One night an old man found out the truth. Three mothers wanted people here to live more comfortably, so they decided to plant some trees. They didn’t have free time in the daytime, so they had to work at night.
Now the mystery is solved. People in the neighborhood now feel relaxed and they showed their thanks to the three mothers. They live there as usual.
【点评范文】
1. 内容:作者按照事件发生的先后顺序(事件的发生、发展和结局)来安排文章结构,逻辑性很强。
2. 语言:文章体现了词义搭配这一衔接手段,本文围绕mystery一词展开,与之相关联的词有strange, uneasy, solved, relaxed等,这些词都与描述神秘事件有关联;使用however和so进行衔接,使得文章语意连贯、自然。

篇
This morning, we found that Jack’s eyes were red. What happened to him We guessed.
Some of the boys thought that he must have played mobile games all night, because he always spent a long time doing that. But some girls didn’t agree. They believed that he must have done his homework very late.
Others thought that he was watching TV the whole night, because there was an NBA game last night. But I didn’t agree with them. His parents were very strict with him, so he couldn’t have played games or watched TV.
Then, we asked him during the break, and he said he cought a bad cold. Poor Jack!
【参考范文】
Why is the little boy crying No one is sure what’s wrong with him. However, he can’t be hungry because he has just drunk a bottle of milk and eaten some biscuits. And he can’t be ill. He looks healthy and he doesn’t have a temperature. Maybe he couldn’t find his toys. He wants to play with them. Or he may feel hot. It’s hot in the bedroom. Or he might be sleepy. He hasn’t slept much today. Or he could have a toothache because his teeth are coming out.
In short, I think there must be something wrong with him. If not, he wouldn’t be crying so much. Something must be done at once to stop him from crying.
