March 29th,
Dear Diary,
I’m writing this at my room. It’s almost midnight and I have to getting up early tomorrow, but I can’t sleep. I’m thinking about my future! Every day, my parents asks me, “What do you want to be when you grow ” The problem is: I don’t know! My mom always says, “Be a doctor!” And she doesn’t understand — to be a doctor, you have to study for a long, long time and that’s not her idea of fun. Also I’m really bad at biology at the school. My dad says, “Be a pilot!” Is he crazy He knew I hate flying!
Now I’m getting tiring, so I’m going to bed. I can think about my future in bed. I get my best ideas when I’m lain down.

I have known my friend Rebecca for a long time. We firstly met at a friend’s birthday party five years before. We found out that we both liked singing and dancing, so I invited Rebecca over to my place. We listened to the music together and soon became best friends. Three years ago, Rebecca’s parents invited me go on holiday with them. It is great. We spent three wonderful weeks in a little cottage. Rebecca and I loved walking along the beautifully beach. We took a lot of photos and had a lot of funs. Last year, Rebecca’s father changed her job, and they moved to other town. Since then we haven’t seen each other very much, but we’ve talked in the phone and we’ve written emails to each other.

Dear Joe,
How are you Thanks to your post — good to know when you’re OK. I’ve got news too. I’m going on holiday next weeks with my brother and Anna, a friend from school. We’re going to stay on a farm with four days! We’re going to look after the animals and doing some horse-riding. I’m sure I’ll love it. You know how crazy I am about the animals! I want to learn all about the cows or the horses. I hope I will have some times to go walking in the hills, too. Well, right now I’m going to finish homework — lots to do before the holiday! I’ll write to you when I get back to telling you about my holiday.
Yours,
Nadia

People had always been interested in bees. This interest may have begun with the honey what bees make. In the fact, it has been found that people have been eating honey for thousand of years. In the more recently past, people were interested in the way bees made honey. They admired the way bees seemed to working so hard. Some languages even developed expressions about people working like bees. In English, for example, we talk with a “busy bee”. Now scientists has a new reason to be interested in bees. They have discovered that bees able to communicate with each other. Research has revealed some surprised facts about this, but there are still many mysteries.

Yesterday afternoon, I took the No. 6 bus to go home. It was crowded on the bus, and I had listened to music by my earphones. Suddenly I saw the name of the bus stop that I should get off, so I got off the bus in hurry. When I arrived home, I realized that I had left my bag on the bus. My ID card and ten books were in the bag. I was worried and eager to finding it, so I went to the bus companies for help. Fortunate, at the Lost and Found, I see my bag. I wanted to thank the person who had found my bag, and the staff there said the person hadn’t left his name. How a good man!

I read an interested piece of news on a newspaper today. According to Professor Richard Wiseman, only less than a quarter of the British achieved their New Year goals because they do it in the wrong way. He studied 700 volunteers who made a wide ranges of New Year goals, including quitting smoking, losing the weight, or gaining a qualification. Just 22 percent of the participants managed to meeting their goals or described their progress like “very successful.” The reason so much failed was that they took the wrong approach and led by self-help books in the wrong way. They tended to spend a lot of time on thinking about the “bad things” what would happen if they did not achieve their goals instead of taking action.

Last weekends, I went shopping by myself. It was a sunny day and I feel very happy. When I had bought anything I needed, I went to the bus stop to take a bus. Unfortunately, there were too much people at the bus stop. Then it was my turn to get on, there was no room. I had to wait the next bus. Suddenly, it started to rain. I had no choice but to call a taxi. Half way through the journey, the taxi was broke down. I was filled with angry when I saw an emptier bus go by. Finally, I decided to walk home in a rain. What an unlucky day!

Dear Sarah,
I’m writing because I want to apologize to what I did last week. I’m really sorry. I know we said 8:30, and I would’ve gotten here on time if everything hadn’t gone wrongly. I was late because my watch broke and I didn’t know what the time it was. So you see, I would’ve arrived on time if my watch hadn’t broken. Then I have to walk because I’d missed the bus. And then I fell over and my trousers got dirty, so I had to go home and get changing. Then I decided to catch another buses, but it was too late. I would have phoned you and my brother had taken my mobile phone. Anyway, I hope you aren’t too angrier with me. Hope to hear you soon.
Yours,
Jack

Today my classmate and I went to a farm for a trip. I get up at six o’clock and we set off by bus. On the bus, some of us sang, and some of us talked. We all had good time. Two hours late, we arrived at the gate of the farm, that the farmers were waiting to give us a warm welcome. After we were shown around the big farm, they began to plant trees. It was really a good way to getting close to nature and protect the environment at the same time. Next, we had a picnic and it was great fun to eat on the open air. Finally, we went home at half past four. Although all of us was tired, our trip was really very more unforgettable.

Both my father and mother has been wanting me to study abroad. They think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country and that studying abroad at early age will enable me to be dependent. Moreover, it will be easier to me to gain advanced knowledge of technology, that will prepare me for a brighter future. Moreover, my good friend, Zhang Hua doesn’t agree with them. He thought my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. Besides, the cost is too much for his family. In my opinions, I should continue to study in China. As long as I study hard at now, I’ll make great achievements in the future.

Advertising informs consumers about newer products available on the market. It gives us information with everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars. But there is one serious problems with this. The information are actually very often misinformation. It tells us the products’ benefits but hides its disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buying things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but it confuses our sense reality. “Zoom toothpaste prevents bad teeth and gives you the white teeth!” the advertisement tells us. And it doesn’t tell us the complete truth that a health diet and a good toothbrush will have the same effect.

My grandfather had had enough of his cat. He was tired of her scratching all the furnitures and made a mess. So he gave her to a friend, who lived on the other side of town.

My grandfather was moved by the fact that his pet had found his way back from the other side of town in such a cold weather. He took the cat outside and gave her lots of loving attention. He decided he will never give her away again.

Bedouin, the Arab people who live in the desert, living in a traditional society. This means they live on much the same way as their ancestors did. People who live in traditional societies has strong ties to the past. Customs and beliefs have changed very slower. They fear that when changes will make their lives worse rather than better. Values are passing on with little changes from one generation to the next. Yet changes do take place. All cultures change, but they change much quickly at some periods than at other. In very recent years, changes have taken place very quickly everywhere, including deserts of Southwest Asia and North Africa.

Upset by which they saw, they phoned the police. After the police looked into the problem, they were told what had happened to. It seemed that the container holding the wastes from the toilets on a passing plane had burst openly. The contents froze in the atmosphere as it fell towards the ground. Then the resulting block of ice crashed through the roof and broke into piece, killing the dog after melting in their house.

Taking parts in recreation activities help us keep fit. There are various kinds of activity in our daily life, for example, listening to music, watching TV, playing chess, or going to cinema. But I think we’d better to have more outdoor activities. As students, we usually sit too longer in the classroom, and as a result our eyes and brains getting tired. But it’s a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming, do some runnings, or even go for a picnic. Our brains also need changes to make it smart and active. In a word, exercise is good for the health.

Dear Sandra,
You’ll never guess where I’m writing this email. A cave! You know we’re on holidays in Spain. Well, we spend a few days in Barcelona first. We had a good time there, though one day I didn’t feel very good. I think I ate too much ice cream the day before. Anyway, when I left Barcelona, we came to spend a few days in Granada. However, we couldn’t get a hotel — too many tourists and not enough bed! Then the hotel owner said, “Why don’t try the cave hotels ” We thought he were joking. Living in caves But there we are and it’s wonderful. We’re enjoying it much that we don’t know when we’re going to leave. We’re never going to have enough time to explore for everything.
Take care!

My uncle buys a satellite dish, which is a large round piece of metal that receives satellite television. He decided to set up himself. He climbed up the ladder and attached the dish with the side of his houses. After he finishing, he and my aunt relaxed for the evening in front of the TV. The next day was very much hot, and they decided to stay at home and watch TV. That afternoon they heard lots of shouting outside. When they went outside, they saw that the house opposite were on fire. Fortunately, the fire was putting out. It turned out that the fire had started because my uncle’s satellite dish had been concentrating the sun’s rays on the curtains of her neighbor’s house but had caused the fire.

Christmas is supposed to be a time express our love and goodwill towards others. It is supposed to be a time which we perform acts of kindness for people less fortunate to ourselves. But do we think of the other people when we sat down to our Christmas dinner Of course not — we’re too busy eating those delicious foods related with Christmas. We are too busy wondering that the presents we gave were as nice or better than the one we received. They forget to think of the sick and the homeless. The whole idea of Christmas has complete changed. What a shame!

A thief broke into our house and filled his bag by our possessions when he suddenly feeling a pair of eyes on him. Looking up, he sees an eagle staring at him with cold, merciless eyes. At first the man was too frightening to move, but after ten minute he tried moving quietly towards the door. Therefore, the eyes just followed him and he couldn’t move. Eventually, my parents returned to and found the thief in our house. When my father turned the light, the thief could see that the eagle was just a toy. But it was too late and she was arrested. My father said that the toy eagle were better than any watchdog.

Nowadays more and more students were found cheating in exams. Some copy from each other; some copy from their text books, reference books or prepared note; others use modern communication tool such as mobile phones. Cheating in exams will cause some worse effects. For one thing, it will result unfair competition and destroy the creativity of bright students. For another, students who often cheats in exams will develop bad habits and won’t be able to meet the needs of society in the future. So how can cheating in exams be stopped On my opinion, severe punishments should be put into the effect to prevent students from cheating. At the same time, great efforts should be made to make students understood what kind of person society needs or try to build up their honesty.

Then she explained me that the little girl, a customer from a few days ago, had lost her purse. She, like a cashier, paid for his shopping. And the girl just came to return the money but volunteered to help.

There was one class that I think I will never forget. It was the piano class. In the last class of that term, each student was required play two tunes on the piano, according to that the teacher, a pretty lady, was going to give us marks. Soon it was my turn. In spite of all the prepare I had done, I was still very nervous. I say at the beginning, “Although as a new learner I don’t play well, but I want to express my love to my parents through the two tunes.” Lucky, everything went all right. But the teacher commented, “Actually, Julie, you did great! Therefore, I will just give you 9.5, hopes that you will always remember to believe in yourself.” His words are still reminding me to be self-confident.

Time and tide wait no man. This is everything I learned last year. I have spent so much time fool around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time to changing. Now I have a new plan for using my time wise. I have set my alarm clock half a hour ahead. This will give me a head start every day. I have also been decided to keep a record of what I do and when I do it. Look back on which I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to manage my time.

I love English and I do hope that someday I can watch English movies without any difficult. However, it’s never easier to learn about a foreign language. And English is exception. Recently I find it very difficult to remember new words. Therefore, I turned to my teacher for help yesterday. She said the best way to learn new words are to read and use it as often as possible. I think she was right, because we can surely remember a person if seeing every day. Therefore, I had decided to read at least one English article and write a diary with English every day from now on. Hopefully, I will make great progress by the end of a year.

Last Sunday, I went shopping with Mom in the town. I was kind of excited because it have been years the last time I went shopping with her. I followed Mom into a small store sells farm chemicals and seeds. As soon as I stepped into the store, I was surprising by so much singing birds flying freely. Then I noticed there had at least 30 nests in total on the walls and under the ceiling! I turned to the owner, an old man, and told him what amazing it was. He said delighted that the birds were like his babies and he always left the doors open for it. And at night, when he was away, the birds could come in or out through the broken windows at anytime they wanted.

I have a little cousin which name is Angela. In two months she is going to be two year old. Her name is given by her mother who loves her very much and thinks she is his angel. Angela has beautiful eyes and has learned to count to 20 recently! Read children’s books regularly, she knows many animals and plants. She is also a typical little girl, who loves dolls and every night puts them to sleeping before going to the bed!

It had been raining for three days before I called my parents last week to ensuring that they were OK. I was worrying by the violent storms because our home is located at foot of a mountain. And I still remembered how our house was flooded terrible when I was little. My parents had to get water out of our house with washbasins, with my sister and I staying safely on the bed and watched. Luckily, my parents said something bad had happened during the storms. Therefore, one day later, I was told by my elder sister that the walls around our yard had fallen down two days ago. Then I realized my parents just didn’t want to worry about me because they didn’t want to distract me from my studies.

Last month, I read The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which is a novel publishing in 2012. Harold had retired before receiving a letter from a colleague of twenty years before, Queenie Hennessy. It turned that Queenie had cancer and was in a hospital in another distance city. The doctors said nothing more could be done for him. Harold wrote her a brief note but went to post it. Deep in thought, he didn’t post it and couldn’t stop walk. He then phoned the hospital from a call box and left a message. He had decided to walk from her, saying that she should wait for him and stay alive. After going through various difficulties, Harold finally made it up. And unexpectedly, his own life was changed for good through an unlikely journey. How touched the story is!

When I was visiting Qingdao with my parents two weeks before, I knew I couldn’t leave them without learning to surf. I booked the group surf lesson. We started off with a warm-up. Then we lay down on our surfboards on the sand and practiced jump up to the standing position. After some practice, we went out into the sea and tried it out on the water. I have to admit it that surfing is much hard than it looks! I had a couple failed attempts to stand up but then one of the instructor came to help me and held my board steady. Finally, I started to get the hang of it and managed to stand up on the board on myself. It was awesome and I can’t wait to trying it again!

My favorite India movie is Three Idiots. Actually I didn’t think I will like it when I saw the title of it for the first time. I thought it would be just a funny movie designed to make people to laugh. But after watching it, I realized I was total wrong. The movie is not only funny but also educational and inspired. It is about a life-changing story of a man which makes significant contributions at friends and others. With wonderful characters and lots of moments that made me laugh, and a few that brought me to tear, the film is well worth your time. My advice is to sit back and watch, and you give it the chance, I am sure you’ll love it.

My elder sister is a born of teacher. When I was a little girl, he, six years old than me, taught me to clean the house, ride a bicycle and sing, etc. Now, she is teaching English in the middle school. Though very experienced as a young teacher, she has always been doing great and her students just love her! I am very pride of her! I always think she can do anything perfectly if she wants to, because she is always very patient and carefully. What’s more, she always take care of me even though I have grown up and she is busy be a teacher and a mother. I feel lucky to having her as my sister.

My aunt managed to go to college when her daughter was 2. She was told by her husband “You can’t do it”. So he gave up. Now her daughter was 5 and she went to a college to do her assessment testing in last week. The whole way there she kept hearing her husband’s word in her head which discouraged her. She got to the parking lot but found out they only took cash for the parking permit, which she didn’t have. She was about give up while an old lady walked over and started talking to her. My aunt told her she was just about to go home. The old lady told her not to do that and she paid a $2. A complete strange saved her from giving in again.

Recently I have been finding difficult to write in English, and even though I read lots of English articles every day. I am so confusing. This morning I talked to a friend of me about this problem. Her advice was simpler: write more. She said for over six month she had been writing English diaries every day and gradual she found it quite easy! Actually, it gave her great pleasant! She showed me some of her articles, all of which was surprisingly brilliant! I am full of admiration for her! Anyway, I am going to try using this method. I am determined to sticking to my new plan and make some progress.

I still remember my first trip to Hainan with my parents years ago. We swam in Yalong Bay, which there were lots of people enjoying ourselves. We also visited the Monkey Island, a impressive attraction. The monkeys of different age there were so cute that I really wanted to touch them. But of course I can’t. We were told before seeing the monkeys put everything in our bags and not to reach into our pockets or bags in case the monkeys — thinking we were getting some gifts for them — jumped to us and accidental hurt us. The people there were friendly to us and the food was delicious. And to believe me, the fresh coconut juice there is the better juice in the world! I am looking forward to visit it once more.

短文改错题考查学生发现和纠正错误的能力。这种题型不仅要求学生牢固掌握一定的词汇和语法知识，还要求学生具有一定的阅读理解和逻辑思维能力。学生在平时写作中容易出现的错误是短文改错题考查的重点。
第一步：通读全文, 了解大意。通过浏览全文, 从宏观上把握文章的主旨、时态、人称, 为下一步的纠错做好准备。
第二步：逐句推敲, 纠正错误。仔细阅读每个句子, 同时找出并纠正错误。
第三步：重读全文, 检查答案。再次仔细阅读全文, 检查已修改的部分是否正确且符合逻辑, 并尽可能发现漏掉的错误。
做短文改错时，同学们应当注意以下几种
情况：
1. 看到名词、代词结构时，要检查是否有数、格或指代不一致的错误；
2. 看到转折、因果、对比等结构时，要检查是否有逻辑方面的错误；
3. 看到多重结构句，要检查是否有时态、语态、引导词或成分残缺等错误；
4. 看到平行结构，要检查是否有时态、语态、词性不一致或成分缺失引起的句子不平衡错误；
5. 看到固定短语、词组时，要检查副词、介词、冠词等是否有使用错误或缺失。
短文改错的考点虽然涉及面广、综合性
强，但是有一定的规律性。
一、冠词
主要考查冠词表示泛指、特指的用法及其
在固定短语中的用法。
1. ... I learnt a impressive lesson about gravity!（2014陕西卷）
【解析】考查不定冠词。此处泛指一节令
人印象深刻的课, 且冠词后的impressive 的
读音为元音音素开头, 故应将a改为an。
2. I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room
and I cooked in kitchen. （2016四川卷）
【解析】考查定冠词the 的用法。此处特
指作者家的厨房, 故应在kitchen前加the。
3. But in that case, we will learn little
about world. （2016全国卷II）
【解析】考查冠词在固定短语中的用
法。表示“存在的一切事物、世界”等
一般都用the world。故应在world前加
the。
二、名词
主要考查可数名词和不可数名词的辨析、可
数名词单复数等。
1. ... she has to do most of the houseworks.
（2016四川卷）
【解析】考查可数名词和不可数名词的辨
析。housework 表示“家务活”, 是不可数名
词, 故应将houseworks 改为housework。
2. The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me.
（2016全国卷III）
【解析】考查名词单复数。由后文的
from 13 to 19可知，应将year改为
years。
三、动词
主要考查动词的时态、语态等。
1. I thought that it is a good idea.
（2016全国卷II）
【解析】考查动词的时态。通读全文可
知，本文的主体时态是一般现在时。故应
将thought 改为think。
2. Every day he makes sure that fresh
vegetables and high quality oil are using for cooking. （2016 全国卷I）
【解析】考查动词的语态。fresh
vegetables and high quality oil 与use 之
间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故应将
using改为used。
四、形容词、副词
主要考查形容词和副词的辨析、比较级和
最高级、动词-ing形式和动词-ed形式的形
容词辨析等。
1. ... his business will grow steady.
（2016 全国卷I）
【解析】考查形容词和副词的辨析。修饰
动词grow应用副词。故应将steady改为
steadily。
2. They were also the best and worse years in my life. （2016全国卷III）
【解析】考查形容词的最高级。and 连接并列成分，再由and 前的the best 可知，应将worse 改为worst。
3. It was both excited and frightening to be up there! （2016 浙江卷）
【解析】考查动词-ing 形式和动词-ed 形式的形容词辨析。由语境可知，本句的意思是“在上面既令人兴奋又让人害怕”。故应将excited 改为exciting。
五、代词
主要考查各类代词的用法及指代错误。
1. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot. （2016全国卷II）
【解析】考查代词的用法。结合语境可知, 本句的意思是“去附近的旅游景点玩不会花很多钱, 而我们还能学到很多。”“钱”是不可数名词, 应用代词much; many 指代可数名词复数。故应将many改为much。
2. ... we can broaden your view ...
（2016全国卷II）
【解析】考查代词指代错误。前后代词要一致；由主语we可知，应将your 改为our。
六、介词
主要考查介词的意义、用法。
1. Now I am leaving home to college.
（2016 全国卷III）
【解析】leave ... for ... 离开某地到另外一个地方。故应将to改为for。
2. Dad cleaned the house, and then went
on shopping. （2016 四川卷）
【解析】go on doing sth. 继续做某事。
go shopping 去购物。由语境可知，本
句意为“爸爸打扫完房间后去购物了”。
故应去掉on。
七、连词
主要从逻辑关系角度考查连词的误用，有时
也考查连词的多用。
1. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money.
（2016全国卷II）
【解析】考查连词的误用。“舒服”和“没必要花钱”都是讲呆在家里的好处，二者是并列关系。故应将but改为and。
2. Though not very big, but the restaurant is popular in our area.
（2016全国卷I）
【解析】考查连词的多用。前后是转折关系，但因句首已有表示转折的连词Though，所以应去掉but。
八、从句的引导词
主要考查从句引导词的误用。
1. My uncle is the owner of a restaurant close to that I live. （2016 全国卷I）
【解析】考查宾语从句的引导词。close to 后接宾语从句；I live 缺少地点状语。故应用where 引导宾语从句。应将that改为where。
2. The dishes what I cooked were Mom's
favorite. （2016 四川卷）
【解析】考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，dishes 后跟的是定语从句，且引导词在从句中作宾语，可省略。what 不能引导定语从句。故应将what改为that或which，或去掉what。
九、主谓一致
主要考查主语和谓语在人称和数上的一致
性。
He would ask who we was ...
（2016 浙江卷）
【解析】考查主语和谓语在数上的一致
性。 由从句中的主语we可知, 应将was改
为were。
十、非谓语动词
1. I showed them I was independent by
wear strange clothes. (2016全国卷III)
【解析】考查动词-ing 形式作介词宾
语。by 是介词，其后应用动词-ing 形
式。故应将wear 改为wearing。
2. My favorite picture ... is of my coach and
me enjoy the biscuits ... （2015 陕西卷）
【解析】考查动词-ing 形式作后置定语的
用法。is 是谓语动词；介词of 后是复合宾语。my coach and me 与enjoy 是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式。故应将enjoy改为enjoying。
十一、固定搭配或固定短语
1. ... he never dreams becoming rich ...
（2016 全国卷I）
【解析】dream of doing sth. 梦想做某事，是固定搭配。故应在becoming前加of。
2. Both Dad or I planned to do something on
Mother's Day. （2016 四川卷）
【解析】both ... and ... 是固定搭配，表示“……和……都”，故应将or 改为and。
3. At the first, I thought I knew everything ... （2016 全国卷III）
【解析】at first 是固定短语，表示“起初”。故应去掉the。

I share a bedroom and the desk with my
younger sister. She continually distracts me because
she's noisy but disorganized. I think she's
respectful. I've got exams in a fortnight
and I desperate need to revise. I can't
concentrate when she's studying either and the
desk is always overflowing with stuff so I can't find everything. If I try to have a dialogue with
my sister, she gets annoying. Maybe I should
study at the local library a few day a week. Or maybe I should try messaging her and explain how awful I feel instead talking face to face. Anyway, something has to be done with.

At first I thought my parents were just being
polite but helping people out, but then I noticed
anything. I noticed the joy on their faces when
they saw other people succeeded and feel happy because something they did. For example, my mom chose to be a educational assistant to help children with abilities. And every day when she got
home she was always talking about how she helped someone in reading problems or made a program
for a specific child to make it easier to teach him. Another example would be my dad always trying to make teachers' work easier with technology. Tried
to help brought them a joy I honestly do not know what to describe. Seeing them happy like this
always made me to want to be like them.

My hero is my dad. If you meet him on the
street and you may think he is just a ordinary man,
but the truth is that he is a real-life super hero. He is a firefighter, whose job is to put out fires. He is the person you call when everything is gone
wrong. He puts his life on the line to saving innocent people. And I think it is both the scary thing imaginable and the most courageous. He has to go to work sometime he is needed. I often hear him leave quiet when the darkness just begins to lose it color. To me he is the most amazed person
in world.
