开放类作文写作技巧

开放类作文的特点
所谓开放作文,是相对于我们过去一直沿用的“书面表达”这种”指导性写作(Guided Writing)而言的。它是一种比传统的“书面表达”限制较少的、留给考生自由发挥空间更多的考查学生书面表达能力的一种题型。开放作文属于命题作文,考生要根据所给命题,独立进行构思,并必须做适当的发挥。它在一定的程度上考查了考生的写作能力,即要求考生根据写作动机选择相应的写作策略,并根据自己已有的相应知识完成写作。

范文背诵
In the picture, between two closely-located building grows a big tree. Unlike most trees, this one bends in the middle, struggling all the way up to get more sunshine. The picture reminds me of those who succeed in unfavorable condition. Faced with difficulties, they never give up but try their best to find a way out. Life can be hard. But if we have the courage and determination, we will finally get the sunshine we want as the tree in the picture does.
