2006中考英语必看内容-作文精讲
  本讲是2006中考英语必看内容,即中考英语重点内容复习课堂的最后一讲。
  上一讲,我们复习了-2006中考英语必看内容-阅读与表达,这一讲,我们来复习一下写作。中考英语写作的常见题型有以下四种:1、是根据所给标题写作,2、是根据英语情景提示写作,3、是根据英汉提示写作,4、是看图写作。在今年的考试中,有的地区,如北京将会出现两个作文,包括一个看图作文。
  那么我们怎样才能使自己的作文在众多文章中脱颖而出,获得阅卷老师的青睐呢?
一、善于思考 勤于积累
  要想在中考作文中拿到高分,这需要考生在日常生活中善于观察,不能两耳不闻窗外事,而应积极关注当今社会热点,如人口问题、污染问题、世界和平等一系列现象;要善于思考,勤于把自己的思想用英语正确地表达和记录下来,只有通过不断的积累和磨练,才能练就良好的写作基本功。建议大家在考前把今年的相关重点问题,热点问题回顾一下。积累一些相关词汇,有备无患。
二、认真审题 写好提纲
  考生在拿到试卷之后,当听力题做完,可以先看一看作文的题目与类型,对它有一个大致的印象和准备,在做语法和阅读题时对自己的作文能有一个初步的构思。应尽可能地留出20分钟的时间来写作文。在正式写作文时,可参照以下步骤:
  1、认真审题,确定题目中的关键词。
  2、展开一次“Brain Storm”即头脑风暴,对该题引申出各种联想和论点。
  3、根据自己已有的经验和词汇量选择自己最熟悉、最有把握的方面和论点来写作。
  4、确定基本的写作时态,如记叙文通常用一般过去时。(时态运用错误是考生们大量失分的主要原因。)
  5、对于有能力的同学,注意不能通篇均用简单句型,可适当引入初中的语法重点如状语从句、宾语从句和被动语态等。这会使考生的作文有质的提高。
  6、当整篇作文写完,一定要进行仔细的检查,注意使句子流畅,时态运用准确,单词拼写正确,冠词运用正确,名词的大小写正确。
  下面,我们来针对中考作文题型和例文进行评析。
中考作文题型分析与例文评析
  命题作文即给出一个统一的题目,限定考生写作的具体范围,要求考生就同一主题展开叙述或评论。写好命题作文的关键是紧扣主题、立意明确、观点清晰。
  一、命题作文
  [例1]To be a lovely Shanghainese(2003年上海市英语中考题)
  审题:该题的重点在于阐述作为一个可爱的上海人,我们关键应怎样做?在2003年的考生作文中,有一部分同学发生了严重的偏题,把描述重点放在形容上海是怎样的一个大都市,因此失分很多。由此看来,审题的准确是非常重要的。
  学生作文:Shanghai is developing quickly everyday. Quite a few foreigners come to visit Shanghai. As the hosts of Shanghai, we must be lovely Shanghaineses to tell the visitors that Shanghai is an international city. To be a lovely Shanghainese, first, we should do our best to make the city more beautiful to show our enthusiasm. Next, we should be kind and friendly to everyone. We must do so to make our guests fell our zeal. Finally, we should study and work hard to rise our ability. Shanghai is developing and we should make progress to follow the epoch.
  教师评析:该篇作文行文流畅,结构清晰,以“first,Next,Finally”的结构描述,层次感很强。不定式的恰当运用体现了考生较好的语法功底。
  教师拟评分:9分
  [例2]Four years' school life
  审题:该题要求考生对四年的初中生活进行回顾和总结,适合以夹叙夹议的方式来写作。(此外,从情感教育的角度来看,阅卷老师总希望读到考生回忆自己美好、快乐的初中生活,而不是讨厌自己的母校、老师、同学等消极情绪的体现。)
  学生作文:I've been in my middle school for four years. Four years' school life plays an important role in my life. I enjoy making friends, getting knowledge and having interesting time in my school. I have also made friendship with lots of classmates, and I have also been taught different lessons by lots of different patient teachers. I have grown up a lot in the past four years. I will never forget my four years' school life.
  教师评析:整篇作文非常明快、流畅,体现了考生对母校依依不舍的情怀。由于是对初中生活的回顾和总结,考生恰当地选择以现在完成时作为主要的时态来强调影响和结果,文中"plays an important role"这一词组和被动语态的正确运用也体现了考生良好的词汇和语法功底。
  教师拟评分:10分
  二、应用文写作
  应用文主要包括信函、电邮、日记、通知、广告、电话等形式,它要求考生不仅能表达题中的主要内容,还能够正确地运用各种文本格式进行规范的书写,这也是考生对于英语传统文化了解多少的反映。因此,考生应在临考前系统地复习各种文本格式以及打电话的规范用语,以做到处变不惊、百战百胜。
  [例3]写一封信给你在云南省西双版纳市的笔友李帆,告诉他你很愿意与他交朋友,并邀请他到上海来旅行。
  审题:该题要求考生以规范的信件格式来书写,并把题中所出现的信息点都涵概在内。建议考生可把题目中的信息点都一一划出,以免发生遗漏。
  学生作文:
Lifan
Xishuangbanna
Yunnan Province China
May 25th, 2004
Dear Lifan,
  Thank you for your letter. I'm glad to be your pen-friend. We are the same years old, but we were born in different places. In my imagination, Xishuangbanna is a very beautiful place. There are a lot of plants and animals. You know I look forward to visiting Xishuangbanna. Would you like to come to Shanghai I'd like to invite you to Shanghai in summer holiday. Shanghai is also a beautiful place. It is a modern city. There are a lot of interesting places such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Bund, and Nanjing Road Walkway.
  If you come here, I will show you around Shanghai. You can live at my home and my mother will cook you much delicious food. Let's be best friends!
                     Yours sincerely,
                       Xiaomin
  
  教师拟评分:9分
  [例4]写一篇题为“A Visit To_____”的日记。
  审题:该题为半命题式作文。考生除了要注意运用正确的日记格式,还可根据自己的经验和熟悉程度来选择、确定文章的主题.
  学生作文:
  May 25th, 2004    sunny 
             A Visit To Jinmao Building
  Jinmao Building has Chinese traditional styles and it is also modern. It is the signal construction of Shanghai. It is located in the center of Lujiazui Financial Area. Our family visited Jinmao Building today.
  The traffic there is very convenient. You can got here by tunnel and No.2 subway. And if you live near it, you can walk there just like our family. We went to the eighty-eighth floor of Jinmao Building. We saw the whole view of Shanghai there. Please come to Jinmao Building, and you will get some unexpected gains there.
  教师评析:整篇作文主题明确,对于金茂大厦的描述也较具体,文中“the signal construction”一词是全文的亮点。但整篇文章的层次不够清晰,句子也以简单句为主,对于参观这一动词的阐述还不够充分。
  教师拟评分:8分
  三、看图写话
  看图写话是初中英语作文常考的一种形式,但随着牛津版教材的大量应用,学生的写作能力有了较大的提高,因此中考作文的要求和难度也相应提高。所以,在中考作文中继续出现简单的叙事型看图写话的可能性很小,但有可能会提供给考生一些具有寓意的漫画或图片,要求考生从中发现问题、提出自己的观点,这对考生的逻辑思维能力和英语语言的娴熟运用都提出了更高的要求。
  审题:这幅漫画蕴涵了一个深刻的主题即战争与和平,这与当今世界的热点问题密切相关,它不仅考核考生是否能流畅地表达自己的观点,更需要考生站在人文关怀的高度来观察整个世界。
  学生作文:
A Represent of Freedom and Peace
  Almost everyday we can see there are always a huge number of pigeons enjoying the sunbath in some large squares, but do you often care what a white pigeon stands for That is peace. For hundreds of years, people always regard pigeons as a represent of freedom and peace. That is because of not only its lovely pure figure, but also its great passion to the outside world. Till now, I still can't help thinking of such a picture: In Iraq, a boy was watching a white pigeon over his head. The background was full of wounded solders and guns. Thus, this lovely white pigeon was contrastive to this iced background and gave people a deep consideration. Suddenly, athought comes into my mind: Why there have been so many wars in the world just for someone's own interest Why can't people live like as mall pigeon with freedom I hope there will not be wars, FOREVER!
  教师评析:应该说,要把这篇看图作文写好是有相当难度的,但考生以非常流畅的笔调从鸽子联想到自由与和平,再联想到发生在伊拉克的战争。文风成熟老练,这在初中生的作文中是难能可贵的。
  教师拟评分:10分
  [例6]审题:该图要求考生先看懂漫画,对它进行清晰的描述,同时根据其隐藏的寓意提出自己的观点,如在此图中应关注树木被砍伐而提出环保的重要性。
  学生作文:
  Seeing this picture, we know that these trees have been cut down. But as a very little baby in the picture, he must be puzzled. He will ask: What are these Are these trees Of course, in our imagination, trees must be tall, strong and green enough. Actually, his question shows humans a problem that is worth thinking about. The covering rate of the forest in the world has kept decreasing these years and it caused a lot of problems on environment. As we all know, trees are very important in our life. They can make the air fresher, reduce natural disasters and soon. So I appeal: Don't cut down trees. Let' s make our earth greener for our later generation. Don't let the children think trees are only roots!
  教师评析:整篇作文结构清晰,全文分三段,第一段详细地描述漫画的内容;第二段阐述其蕴涵的寓意即环保对于世界和后代们的重要性;第三段提出作者的号召,使文章的结尾明快、有力!
  教师拟评分:10分
  到此为止,我们的2006中考英语必读内容全部结束。祝大家在今年的中考中取得好成绩。同时,希望大家关注我们网站的其它内容。相信一定会帮助您在学习英语的路上更进一步。2006中考英语作文-命题作文
  上一讲,我们学习了提示性作文的写作方法。(请参考-2006中考英语作文面面观-提示作文)本讲我们来学习命题作文的写作方法。
  命题作文就是我们依据所给题目,确定中心,选择材料,写出符合题意,内容表达具体、充分的文章。
  写命题作文通常要注意以下几点:
  一、审准题目:文章的中心要对题目的分析来确定,一定要弄清主题的内涵,确立与文章联系的主题思想,表达不能游离于主题,否则即使内容再精彩,也是"跑题"作文,得分将会大打折扣,因此,写命题作文最重要的是先审清题目,确立要表现的中心。
  二、构思结构:就是开放思路,启动联想,构想表现形式,勾勒出文章的结构层次,依次写出引言段,主题句,发展段和结尾句,努力使之新颖,别致。
  三、选择材料:这一点很重要,一定要围绕想表现的中心去选择组织材料,所选的材料必须典型精要。
  四、表达:就是用最确切明了的语言贯穿材料,表达自己的思想,力争用符合英语语法规则。英语表达习惯,最顺畅自然的词,句,段去表达中心思想,与表现中心无关的话即使再生动形象也不要去写。就写作的目的表现形式来看,命题作文分为三种形式:1、记叙文类;2、说明文类; 3、议论文类。
  下面就谈一谈记叙文的写作
  记叙文就是以记叙人物的经历或事物发展变化过程为主的一种文章。在初中写作训练中,记叙文是最基本,最常见,最重要的书面表达形式。记叙文有"六要素"即指"时间,地点,人物和事件的起因,经过和结果"。一篇记叙文只要把这些要素写清楚,文章就会内容具体, 眉目清晰,中心意思明确。一般情况下,这六要素中的人物,时间,地点作为开端,要写在文章的开头。事件,原因常作为记叙文的段落发展,又称为文章的主体部分,应该放在文章的中间。结果作为记叙文的结局常放在文章的末尾处。
  记叙文从写作的线索上来看,有三种表现形式:
  1、以人物为主,围绕人物组织材料。
  2、以事物为中心,围绕事件组织材料或围绕事件写人。
  3、以写景状物,描写为主。
  写好记叙文应注意以下几点:
  1、明确写作目的:写文章的目的就是确切表达一个中心思想,文章的一切内容应自始自终地为展开中心服务。
  2、选择细节材料:选择好的细节材料就是为了更好地表现主题,所选择的材料要有代表性,典型性。写作内容要详略得当,主要情节应详细写,次要内容要简略或概述。
1)关于写人物,一般要把某人的年龄,外貌和性格特征,人物行为,心理活动等方面简要概括出来。同时要略加点评或感想。
  2)关于写事件,事件是记叙的核心,往往有它的起因,经过和结局。写事件要比较详细地交代事情的来龙去脉,同时要重点突出,表达精练,防止渲染。
  3、恰当的选择写作方法:记叙文的写作方法就是指写作的顺序,文章先写什么,后写什么都要有一定顺序。
  中考经典展示:
  (1) 以My Mother为题写一篇短文。(2003扬州)
  内容要点:1.我的妈妈是护士,工作努力。2.上个月去北京,抗击SARS (fight against)。3.一个月没有回来。4.保护我们免受侵害。5.我爱妈妈,为妈妈自豪。
  标题已给出,要求1.写清时间 2.要点要完整 3.可适当增加内容 4.字数在60个词左右
  (2)班会上,老师要求每位同学用英语介绍自己的一位朋友,请你根据所提供的要点为题写一篇短文。(2003南京)
  要点:1. Who is he / she。2. When and where did you get to know him / her。3. Why do you like him / her。
注意:1.文章的开头和结尾已给出(不计入词数) 2.词数60-80,须包括以上要点,可适当增加细节使短文意思通畅。3.条理清楚,语意连贯,句式规范,字迹工整。4.文中不得出现真实的人名。校名等相关信息。
  写作实践范例
  以"My Chinese Teacher"为标题写一篇字数为80-100之间的英语短文。提示内容如下:
  1、孙老师今年36岁,中等身材。
  2、她关心。热爱学生,工作认真负责。
  3、她语文课讲得生动。有趣。
My Chinese Teacher
Of all the subjects, I like Chinese best because I have a good Chinese teacher. Though she has been teaching us for only three years, I respect and love her very much.
My Chinese teacher is thirty-six years old and she is neither tall nor short.
  
Ms Sun works very hard. She is always the first to come and the last to leave her office. She tries to make her classes lively and interesting. And we enjoy her lessons very much.
Ms Sun is very kind and friendly to us. And we're getting on well with each other. But she is very strict with us in our studies.
Ms Sun teaches us so well that we all enjoy learning Chinese. All the students think she is one of the most popular teachers in our school.
新题导练
  请以"My Classmate"为标题写一篇记叙文
  要求:1、主题明确。语言流畅。思路清晰。 2、字数在100字以内。
  思路点拨
  写记叙文要按照事物发展的客观规律叙述,所叙述的内容要交代清楚,条理清晰,重点突出,主次分明,详略得当。
  这篇文章也是记叙文,主人公应该用第三人称,时态以一般过去时为主。本文以主人公为中心线索,以一、两件事件为重点内容去组织材料,反映主人公的形象特征。整个内容情节要合情合理,有真实感,叙述时可按事情发展的顺序进行,同时加以点评。
参考范文
  My Classmate
  Liu Kai is my classmate. He is a good student and always ready to help others.
  One day on his way to school, he saw a little girl crossing the road. A car was coming towards her quickly and the girl was too frightened to move. The car nearly hit her. Just then LiuKai rushed up to her and caught her by the arm. The little girl was saved. She told him where she lived, and he took her home. When LiuKai hurried into the classroom, the teacher had already begun his lesson. He told the teacher why he was late. He was then praised for what he had done.2006中考英语作文-应用文
  上一讲,我们学习了命题作文的写作方法,大家可以参照-2006中考英语作文面面观-命题作文。这一讲,我们将介绍几种常见应用文的写作方法。
  应用文是人们日常生活中广泛使用的文体。它最突出的特点是它的实际应用性,应用文包括很广,如书信、通知、日记、海报、便条、启事、请柬、电报、合同等。应用文的语言应使用规范语言,重在实用,力求朴实、准确、简洁。
一、书信
  书信我们分为两部分:信封和内容。
1、信封的写法。
  英语信封正面的左上角,写发信人的姓名和地址。在信封的正面中央偏左一点,写收信人的地址和姓名。
  英语信封上的地点名称由小到大,视其长短可占二至五行不等。
  寄信人只写姓名,不写头衔。但是,收信人一般都在名字前加上头衔,以示礼貌和尊敬。对于没有官衔和学衔的人士,通常在姓名前写上Mr., Mrs.,或Ms.。
  信封的写法,一般来说,很少出现在中考英语的作文中。
2、内容。
英文信一般可以分为下列几个部分。
1)信端(Heading)即写信人的地址和发信日期。
2)收信人姓名地址
3)称呼
4)信的正文
5)结束语
6)签名
  有的时候,出题者会让考生写e-mail。e-mail的写法和书信的写法基本一致。只不过少了书信在信封上的繁琐。
  (2005年北京)根据中文大意,写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的短文。
  假设你叫王明,昨天收到了笔友David的e-mail,得知他不久要到北京来学习中文。他想了解如何学好中文。请你用英文给他回复一封e-mail,介绍学习中文的体会和方法,提出你的建议,以及表达你帮助他学好中文的愿望。
Dear David,
I'm glad you'll come to Beijing to learn Chinese. Chinese is very useful, and many foreigners are learning it now. It's difficult for you because it's quite different from English. You have to remember as many Chinese words as possible. It's also important to do some reading and writing. You can watch TV and listen to the radio to practise your listening. Do your best to talk with people in Chinese. You can learn Chinese not only from books but also from people around you. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm sure you'll learn Chinese well.
   Hope to see you soon in Beijing.
Yours,
Wang Ming

We have lots of fun at school. After class we play games and do lots of sports, like a big family. The teachers in my school are as kind to us as our parents. I feel proud of my school because it is one of the best schools in my heart.
三、通知
  通知的正文一般都是写在"Notice"以词之下,一般来说不必写称呼语和结束语。出同时的单位名称可以写在notice之上,也可以写在正文的右下角。
  正文一般采用文章式,有时为了醒目,也可采用广告式。广告式要力求简明扼要,一个句子可分几行。每行第一个字母一般要大写。

  上一讲,我们学习了应用文的写作。大家可以参考2006中考英语作文面面观-应用文。这一讲,我们来学习一下记叙文的写作方法。
  记叙文是记人叙事的文章,它主要是用于说明事件的时间、背景、起因、过程及结果,即我们通常所说的五个“ W ”( what, who, when, where, why )和一个“ H ”( how )。记叙文的重点在于“述说”和“描写”,因此一篇好的记叙文要叙述条理清楚,描写生动形象。下面就谈谈英语记叙文的特点和写好记叙文的基本要领。
一、记叙文的特点
1. 叙述的人称
  英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、亲耳所闻的经历。它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,使人读后感到真实可信,如身临其境。如:
The other day, I was driving along the street. Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast. I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side. But it was too late. The car hit my bike and I fell off it.
  用第三人称叙述,优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制,而是通过作者与读者之外的第三者,直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前,文章的客观性很强。如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard. On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover. Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short. What could he do Then he had a good idea.
2. 动词的时态
  在记叙文中,记和叙都离不开动词。所以动词出现率最高,且富于变化。记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的,这是英语记叙文区别于汉语记叙文的关键之处。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,正是这一点才使得所记、所叙有鲜活的动态感、鲜明的层次感和立体感。
3. 叙述的顺序
  记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。无论是顺叙、倒叙、插叙还是补叙,都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。顺叙最容易操作,较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,读起来平淡乏味。倒叙、插叙、补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果,让所叙之事跌宕起伏,使读者在阅读时思维产生较大的跳跃,从而为文章所吸引,深入其中。但这些方法如果使用不当,则容易弄巧成拙,使文章结构散乱,头绪不清,让读者不知所云。
4. 叙述的过渡
  过渡在上下文中起着承上启下、融会贯通的作用。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things. Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao. It is really a beautiful city. There are many places of interest to see. But what impressed me most was the sunrise.
The next morning I got up early. I was very happy because it was a fine day. By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red. In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing. The sun was very red, not shining. It rose slowly. At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball. At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright.
What a moving and unforgettable scene!
5. 叙述与对话
  引用故事情节中主要人物的对话是记叙文提高表现力的一种好方法。适当地用直接引语代替间接的主观叙述,可以客观生动地反映人物的性格、品质和心理状态,使记叙生动、有趣,使文章内容更加充实、具体。试比较下面两段的叙述效果:
I was in the kitchen, and I was cooking something. Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the front. I thought maybe someone was knocking the door. I asked who it was but I heard no reply. After a while I saw my cat running across the parlor. I realized it was the cat. I felt released.
  这本来应是一段故事性很强的文字,但经作者这么一写,就不那么吸引人了。原因是文中用的都是叙述模式,没有人物语言,把“悬念”给冲淡了。可作如下调整:
I was in the kitchen cooking something. "Crash!" a loud noise came from the front. Thinking someone was knocking at the door, I asked, "Who " No reply. After a while, I saw my cat running across the parlor. "It's you." I said, quite released.
二、写好记叙文的基本要领
1. 头绪分明,脉络清楚
  写好记叙文,首先要头绪分明,脉络清楚,明确文章要求写什么。要对所写的事件或人物进行分析,弄清事件发生、发展一直到结束的整个过程,然后再收集选取素材。这些素材都应该跟上述五个“ W ”和一个“ H ”有关。尽管不是每篇记叙文里都必须包括这些“ W ”和“ H ”,但动笔之前,围绕五个“ W ”和“ H ”进行构思是必不可少的。
2. 突出中心,详略得当
  在文章的框架确定后,对支持故事的素材的选取是很关键的。选材要注意取舍,应该从表现文章主题的需要出发,分清主次,定好详略。要突出重点,详写细述那些能表现文章主题的重要情节,略写粗述那么非关键的次要情节。面面俱到反而使情节罗列化,使人不得要领。这一点是写好记叙文要解决的一个基本问题,也需要一定的技巧。如:
One night a man came to our house and told me, "There is a family with eight children. They have not eaten for days." I took some food with me and went.
When I finally came to that family, I saw the faces of those little children disfigured (破坏外貌) by hunger. There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger.
I gave the rice to the mother. She divided the rice in two, and went out, carrying half the rice. When she came back, I asked her, "Where did you go " she gave me this simple answer, "To my neighbors — they are hungry also!"
3. 用活语言,准确生动
  记叙文要用具体的事件和生动的语言对人、事、物加以叙述。一篇好的记叙文的语言既要准确、生动,又要表现力强,这样才能把人、事描写得具体生动,其可读性才强。试比较下面一篇例文修改的前后效果。
  原文:
One day Xiaoqiang was wandering away. He was soon lost among people and traffic. He could not find the way back home and started crying. Just then, two young students who were passing by found him standing alone in front of a shop and crying. They went up to Xiaoqiang and asked him what had happened. Xiaoqiang told them how he got lost and where he lived. The two students decided to take him home. Mother was pleased to see Xiaoqiang come back safe and sound. She invited the two students into the house and gave them some money, but they didn't take it. She served them with tea but they left.
  修改后:
The other day, five-year-old Xiaoqiang left home alone and wandered happily in the street. After some time, he felt hungry so he wanted to go back home. But he found he was lost among the crowded people and heavy traffic. When he could not find the way home, he started and crying. Just then, two young students who were passing by from school found him sanding crying in front of a shop. They immediately went up to him.
"Little boy, why are you standing here crying " they asked.
"I want Mom, I go home." said the boy, still crying.
"Don't worry, we'll send you home."
And they spent the next two hours looking for the boy's house. With the help of a policeman, they finally found it.
When the worried mother saw her son come back safe and sound, she was so thankful and she invited the students into her house. Gratefully, she offered them some money, saying it was a way to express her thanks, but the young students firmly refused it and left without even a cup of tea.2006中考英语作文-提示作文

什么是提示性作文?
  提示性作文:就是给出一个标题或无标题,给出具体的内容,规定一定的字数,让考生写出作文。由于这类作文已经规定了文章的中心思想和主要内容,因此考生可以不再列出提纲,只要把注意力集中在如何正确、完整地用英文词句表达出中心思想和内容就可以了。
写好提示性作文应注意的事项
1、仔细审题,明确要求。对所给信息反复阅读,弄清这个题目要表达什么,然后对所给信息进行整理、组织,按照自己的写作思路使之条理化。
2、确保语言精炼。在写作过程中,考生应时刻提醒自己按照已给出的信息点去写,不必有太多的发挥。但也不必按照信息点去逐句翻译。用自己熟悉的短语、句型去体现要点。掌握好文章的长度,不要字数过多或过少。
例题分析
一、汉语提示
  根据中文提示和英文提示词语,写一篇意思连贯、符合逻辑的短文。所给英文提示词语必须用上。字数60~70左右。
  1、昨天晚上我和妈妈出去散步。
  2、在路上我遇到了一个外国人。
  3、他向我询问去温泉饭店(the Hot Spring Hotel)的路。
  4、我告诉他沿着路往前走,在第三个转弯处向左拐就能看见饭店。
  5、他非常感谢我,我也为能帮他而感到高兴。
  提示词语:go out for a walk, on the road, the way to, walk along, on the left, thank for, be happy that(分析)
  写作指导:根据提示我们了解到这是一篇记叙文,所以考生应马上想到时间(yesterday evening),地点(on the road),人物(I, my mother and a foreigner),事件(how to show the way)。其次观察信息点,我们确定这篇文章应用过去式来表达。然后,确定这个事件应用第一人称来叙述。最后,按照信息点合理组织文章,别忘用上提示词语。
  (例文)
Yesterday evening,I went out for a walk with my mother.On the road,we met a foreigner.
He asked me the way to the Hot Spring Hotel.I told him to walk along the road and take the third turning on the left, then he could see the hotel.He thanked me very much for my help.I was happy that I could help him.

One Possible version:
Dear Li Ming,
I'm Gina. It's my pleasure to give you some suggestions for your vacation spots. According to your letter, I think either Sydney or Hawaii is the best choice because they are both warm and interesting. There are some inexpensive hotels, which are clean and comfortable in both places. What's more, you can enjoy sunshine, walk on the beach and swim every day.
Besides, there are many good museums in Sydney. (It's also a wonderful place for shopping. )And if you go to Hawaii, you could have a visit to Pearl Harbor, which is quite educational and historical. (And you can also enjoy exotic dances. )
That's just my idea. I hope it would give you some help.
Yours,
Gina
