newspaper about your ideal senior
high school life.Paragraph 1:
Give some information about yourself: name, age, class and what your favorite subjects are. Say what type of school you prefer, for example, large or small, the best timetable and how long you think the vacations should be.Paragraph 2:
Describe what after-school clubs you
would like to join in your ideal school, for example, sports as well as other activities. Say if you think there should be clubs at lunch-time.Paragraph 3:
Describe what special occasions you think there should be in your ideal school life. Say what you think the most important things are in your ideal senior high school life.Sample:
My name is Lingling. I am seventeen years old, and in Class 2. My favorite subjects are maths and physics. I am very happy in our school because it is a small secondary school, and you know most of the students and teachers here. I wouldn’t like to be in a big anonymous school. I think the timetable is mostly good, but I would like some more free study time to work in the library. I also think the long holidays should be shorter, but there should often be long study weekends - say three or four times a year, we should have Friday to Monday off to complete projects. I would like there to be more out-of-class activities like in American and British schools. I am a member of the gymnastics group here, and that is great, but in my opinion there should be a film society for us older students, where we could see films from lots of different countries which don’t come to our cinemas. It could also be a good idea to have other societies which met at lunch-time, so that students have something different to do between morning and afternoon lessons – a music club, for example, where we could hear different kinds of music.
It would be nice if there were other special events for the final year students, too.For example, a dinner-dance in the evening two or three times during the year. Another great idea would be to go away as a class somewhere for a week, just to get to know each other better and have a good time in a nice place. Of course, studying hard and doing well at school are the most important things for senior high school students, but learning how to interact socially is important, too.如何描写一次难忘的经历

I’ll never forget the experience of making a video with my classmates before graduation.
Graduation finally came. My classmates and I decided to make a video to record our experiences at school. We spent a whole week collecting material. During the week, we interviewed our teachers and took pictures of every aspect of our school life. Then we started the hard editing part. Though we had several disagreements, the video was perfect when it was finished. Several days later, when the video was played on the graduation ceremony, it was well received.
It was the first time for us to make a video. I was very happy about the success.高级范文
One of my most unforgettable experiences was making a video with my classmates before graduation.
With graduation approaching, my classmates and I shared the same idea of making a video to record our experiences at school. Material collecting took us a whole week, in the course of which we interviewed our teachers and took pictures of every aspect of our school life. The editing part after that was tough. However, the video turned out perfect after many changes. Several days later, when the video was played on the graduation ceremony, it was well received.
It was the first time for us to make a video. The success surely gave me a great sense of achievement.【亮点赏析】
1.?两篇范文的结构都很清晰,衔接紧凑,故事完整。
2.?高级范文中使用了很多看似简单但表达十分恰当的词汇,如:approach, share the same idea, in the course of, tough, turn out, a great sense of achievement等。
3.?高级范文中使用了更多复杂的语法结构,如:动词-ing形式作表语,“with +?名词+动词-ing形式”结构,定语从句等,所有这些都给文章增色不少。假设你是李华,上周末你们班到某农村小学开展了志愿者服务活动,你深有感触。请你用英语写一篇短文,描述此次活动过程并说明你的感受,然后发表在你校英语网站上。
