小升初英语作文写作指导(优秀20篇)

A recent period, I heard the word "low-carbon life". By reading a book, is a kind of low consumption, low carbon life low energy, low costs, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions way of life. In the process of access to information, I know the baoding is the pilot city of small and medium-sized cities in China, as a primary school student, what can I do for low carbon life?

Before, I will turn the water every day, wash, wash a face USES 10 tons every month, now, the teacher told us to prepare two pails, used to store waste water. Waste water can be used to flush the toilet, mopping, watering the flowers. Also want to save electricity, after watching the computer or TV, to turn off the little red light on the outlet, in order to save power, as far as possible when the holiday homework during the day and night to turn off the lights for one hour early, use that one hour of time to go for a walk with my family. Both the power saving, and have played an important role in reducing weight, also enhance the feelings, is fully staffed! To use less disposable items (chopsticks, lunch boxes, etc.) to use less plastic bags, use environmental protection bags. Best travel on foot, private cars less, do less, do more buses. Thus do the "low consumption, low energy, low cost".

Low carbon life, everybody is responsible for, let me first, protect the environment.

最近一个时期，我听到了“低碳生活”一词。通过看书了解，低碳生活是一种低消耗，低能量，低开支，从而减少二氧化碳的排放的生活方式。在查阅资料的过程中，我知道了保定是全国中小城市的试点城市，作为一名小学生，我能为低碳生活做点什么呢?

以前，我就每天把水拧到最大，洗手、洗脸每月都要耗水十几吨，现在，老师告诉我们要准备两个水桶，用来储存废水。废水可以用来冲厕所，拖地、浇花。用电也要节约，看完电脑或电视后，要把插座上的小红灯关掉，以便节约电源，尽量放假时白天写作业，晚上早关灯一小时，用那一小时的时间和家人散步。既节约了电源，又起到了减肥的作用，还增进了感情，真是一举多得呀!少用一次性物品(筷子、饭盒等)少用塑料袋，多用环保袋。出行最好步行，少开私家车，少做出租，多做公交车。这样就做到了“低消耗、低能量、低开支”的作用。

低碳生活，人人有责，让我先行，保护环境。

写人必须从具体的事情之中写人，写事也必须通过人的活动来写事。

人因事而鲜活，事因人而彰显。人事相因，互为依托。因此，要想写出人物的鲜明个性，就必须记述人物的二三事；而要写出事情的曲折波澜，也必须把握好人物的思想性格。

世界上没有两片相同的树叶，作为有着自然的、社会的、精神的各种属性的人那就更是千差万别、各不相同了。

一、什么是人物的个性特征?

个性特征，是指一个人在思想、品质、行为、习惯等方面异于他人的特征。由于人们的生活经历和所处的社会环境不同，因而个性的差异是普遍存在的，即使是同一种思想品质，在表现形式上也总有这样那样的区别，不会完全相同。因此，我们在作文中描写人物的时候，应该着重表现人物的这种个性特征，这样才会把人物写得栩栩如生、惟妙惟肖，才会感染读者。通过人物的心理或肖像或动作或语言等描写来刻画人物性格特征的例子可以说不胜枚举。

二、怎样才能写出人物的个性?

１．运用语言、外貌、动作等勾勒人物形象。    描写人物的语言和行动，应注意以下问题：

第一，要注意语言和行动描写必须切合人物身份，符合人物的年龄与地位，做到“言如其人”，“行如其人”。

第二，要注意语言、行动描写必须符合人物的性格。人物具有怎样的性格特征，就会有怎样的言行。要写出个性，必须抓住有代表性的言行进行描写。

第三，要注意言行往往是相关联的，有怎样的言，就有怎样的行。描写人物的语言和行动，要协调一致，共同体现人物的性格特征。

写好肖像，以形传神。写肖像，一定要学会刻画眼睛。眼睛是心灵的窗户，透过这个窗户，可以窥视人物内心的种种变化，把握人物的性格特征。鲁迅先生就说：“要极俭省的画出一个人的特点，最好是画他的眼睛。”画眼睛，就是要把人物的眼睛中最传神的特点表现出来，使人物形神兼备。怎样才能画好人物的眼睛呢？

一是要让人物的眼睛反映人物的经历、遭遇、处境和人物的内心变化。鲁迅的《祝福》多次写祥林嫂的眼睛、眼光、眼神，借以表现祥林嫂的不幸遭遇和性格的变化。

二是要让人物的眼睛反映出人物的年龄、个性和不同的情绪。人物的年龄、性格、情绪不同，他们的眼神和目光也会不同。

比如孩子的眼睛可以是“明澄得像水晶一样“，而老人的眼睛则应当留下生活刻下的印记，或是饱经沧桑，或是沉静平和慈详，或睿智深邃。刚强自信的人会拥有熠熠生辉的双眸，而脆弱自卑的人眼光是躲躲闪闪游离不定。

眼睛可写满渴望写满期待，希望工程的代表宣传画——魏明娟的大眼睛；眼睛可写满兴奋写满激动，成功者噙着泪花的眼睛；眼睛也可写满绝望，吸毒者无神的眼睛；写满忧郁感伤，刚强自信的人会拥有熠熠生辉的双眸，而脆弱自卑的人眼光是躲躲闪闪游离不定。

总之，只有写出人物的鲜明的个性特征，才能给读者留下深刻印象。似想，有这样一个人，个子不高不矮，身体不胖不瘦，脸色不黑不白，眼睛不大不小，鼻子不高不低，嘴巴不宽不窄，耳朵不圆不长-------你猜他（她）是谁？再比如有这样一个人，黑脸短毛，长嘴大耳，圆身肥肚，穿一领青不青、蓝不蓝的梭布直裰，提一柄九齿钉耙 ------你道他（她）又是谁？

对于前者，恐怕你苦思冥想也得不出个圆满的答案来，都是，又都不是；而对于后者，相信你一定会脱口而出：猪八戒！这两个人，为什么前一个猜不出，后一个一猜就中呢？关键就在于前者只简单介绍了人物的外貌，没有写出特征，更没有写出人物的个性，后者则不然。

许多同学认为要写出人物特征，最简单的方法便是从人物的肖像描写入手，千人千面，人的外表是很少有雷同的。八戒丑陋的外形下带着他的憨态，憨态的骨子里刻着“馋”、“懒”，也刻着“情”、“义”，恐怕这就是他立体生动的原因。这样看来，要真正把握人物的整体风貌，光写外貌是不行的，还需要从多方面、多角度去表现人物。

我们还是以猪八戒为例。虽然孙大圣的勇猛和机智夺走了读者许多的视线，但这不妨碍我们喜爱猪八戒。当然，他并不美，与孙悟空的小巧机灵一比，他愈发显得笨拙；他的武艺不错，但在金箍棒的威力下，他绝不敢逞强（高老庄的一场厮杀除外）；他的心眼似乎也不能说很好，在沙和尚的老实忠厚面前，他的懒惰与自私是藏也藏不住的。但就是这么一个缺点多多的人，他给我们带来了许多人间的烟火味，一种属于凡人的个性特征。他的这些特点不是三言两语所能说清的，作者就用多个事例来具体地描绘给我们看。因此，我们才看到了这样一个猪八戒：在高老庄，变身为壮汉的他食量大如牛，一人可抵好几个庄稼汉，你能说他不是一个勤劳的好农民吗？奉师命去寻找食物，他美滋滋地吃了一顿大西瓜，然后懒洋洋地睡了一个好觉，这样一个八戒，怎能逃脱“馋”和“懒”的评语！孙猴子被赶回了老家，八戒不也是依依不舍？大师兄不在的日子里，师傅有难，他不也是奋不顾身与妖魔斗得天昏地暗？这样一个八戒，不也是有情有义？当然，我们也忘不了他在三位菩萨变化而成的美女面前，丑态百出，这不又是一个活脱脱的好色之徒？--------就是通过众多的事例，从多个方面，写出了一个世俗的、有着人间男子的大多数优缺点的八戒。

２．通过细节表现人物个性    作文必须重视细节，如果不善于捕捉生活中的细节并合理利用的话，那么我们的文章可能无力承载浓厚的情感，无法很好地表达自己，更谈不上去感动别人。拿一把放大镜，定格住人物在特定情境下的瞬间表现，人物便会因此而生动立体。如我前面所举的严监生因两根灯芯不肯闭眼的例子。下面还是谈一下我们熟悉的猪八戒。当调皮的孙悟空抖出他私设“小金库”的隐私时，他嘴里嘀嘀咕咕地发着无意义的牢骚，一边很不情愿地从大耳朵中掏出几钱银子来，这样一个细节让我们无法忽视，无法不发出会心的微笑。

什么是细节描写?

细节描写是指对人物、环境的某一局部、某一特征的具体描绘，或是对事物发展中某一细微事实（事态）的形象描写。细节描写可以分为动作性细节描写、语言性细节描写、肖像性细节描写等。

如何通过生动的细节描写来表现人物的个性?

首先得选择好细节。细节叙写要力求生动、细致、传神。细节描写可以通过人物的言行、习惯、心理、服饰、行身立事的方法等方面来表现。

同学们特别要注意这些看起来好像不影响叙事的细节，正是这些细节使得文章生动自然并且有深度，内容也会很充实。而同学们写叙事记人的文章最大缺点就是容易把文章写得流水账一样:

“今天我晚了一点起床，把单车骑得飞快去上学，突然‘砰’的一声——胎爆了，只好去补胎，迟到了，被老师罚跑了两圈，今天真倒霉！”，根本没有什么细节，甚至连最基本的详略都没有。写人物忌空洞地叙说，否则，写出来的人必然是苍白的，干瘪的。描写人物须“当如镜中取影，妍媸好丑令观者自知”，要让人物自己说话，自己行动，“个个活跳”，而不是作者下评语，加论断。

通过细节描写表现人物个性的主要问题是细节选择不当，不能表现人物个性的本质方面；细节描写不生动传神，甚至给人虚假的感觉。

3.写好环境，以景写人

因为人物的言谈举止、神情心态只有在特定的环境中，才具有表现个性的意义。我们写人物的时候，也要注意运用环境，可以用环境与人物的行动肖像互相烘托，比如写一个热闹的聚会和朋友兴高才烈的言行及笑脸；同样，也可以用环境与人物的行动肖像进行对比烘托，同样是写一个热闹的聚会，你也可写发现为聚会不停忙碌的母亲白发又多几根。

4.正面描写与侧面描写相结合

写人物可以直接写他的言行举止，有时直接写人物言行举止表达不出他的精神，也可以采用侧面描写的方法。成语“沉鱼落雁，闭月羞花”用的也是侧面描写这个方法。

三、如何选材

刻画人物往往需要选取两三件事来表现人物性格特征，选材时，就要选用几件事或者表现一个人某一方面的个性特点和本质，或者从不同侧面来表现人物的几个方面的个性品质和特点。

通过二三事表现人物要注意的主要问题是必须通过精彩的片断来表现，而不要将二三事叙述得完整具体，使行文冗长平淡。要从不同的角度来选择二三事。如果表现的角度一致，事实上成了材料的堆砌。选材时要把握好二三事之间的外在和内在逻辑联系，使文章眉目清晰，形成一个有机的整体。

[考研英语书信写作方法

谈及写作训练,学生认为就是勤练笔,其实不然。英语的听、说、读、写四种能力是密切相关、相互渗透的。听和读是领会理解别人表达的思想,说和写是用言语表达思想。写的能力要在听、说、读的基础上进行培养和提高,而写的训练又能进一步提高听、说、读的能力。因此,写作训练应该贯穿于英语教学的全过程,才能真正提高学生的写作能力。

一、多读

“读是写的前提,写是读的升华”。一般而言,听和读的量必须数十倍地多于说和写的量,才能较自如地在口头上或书面上表达自己的思想。一方面,大量阅读可以提高阅读能力,扩大词汇量,另一方面,它还可以增强英语语感,对英语写作起着潜移默化的作用。只有当阅读量达到一定程度时,才能找到写好文章的语感。我们可以选择适合学生的读物,如英文报纸(《英语周报》、《21世纪报》)、杂志(《中学生英语园地》)、科普文章、书虫等(水平较高的学生可读小说原著)。大量阅读是学生接触英语语言材料、接受信息、活跃思维、增强记忆力的一种有效途径,同时也是培养学生英语思维能力、提高理解力、增强语感、巩固和扩大词汇量的一种有效方法,非常有利于写作。实践证明,学生平时课外阅读面越广,阅读量越大,运用英语表达的能力就越强。

二、多背

英语和汉语存在很大差异,语法规则和句子结构是不同的,很多学生在写作过程中难免会受到母语的影响,出现一些Chinglish(中式英语),而且有些语法规则也把握不准,谓语动词常出现“be+do”的错误形式或缺少谓语的现象。所以,背诵模仿是行之有效的手段之一。

(一)背课文

在多年的教学实践中,我坚持让学生背诵部分课文,较长的文章选背一两段,下节课抽查背诵,或进行默写。《新概念英语2》中很多英语短文通俗有趣,我给学生挑选其中一部分让他们背诵、默写,对培养学生的语感很有效。

(二)背范文

英语写作一般包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文及开放性作文写作。我经过筛选,找出每种文体各五篇文章,同时,我也注重搜集一些好的范文和习作要求学生背诵。通过熟背精彩段落,使学生逐步掌握英语基本的表达方法,有助于模仿。而且,通过这些范文,学生可熟练掌握各种体裁的写作技巧,这是学生写好作文的一条捷径。经过一段时间的训练,学生就会有内容可写、写得出来。

三、多写

除了以上对学生进行读、背训练,还要对学生进行动手训练。学生只有通过写才能知道自己的不足与缺陷,毕竟说和写是两回事。

(一)改写课文

教师可要求学生把Reading缩写成一篇一百字左右的短文,也可让学生把对话改写成记叙文(如项链),这也是进一步理解课文的手段。一般在学完一个单元,学生熟练掌握课文之后,再做这一步,让学生尽量使用本单元的短语句型,同时,也要学着套用背诵的句子。

(二)写英语周记

让学生写英语周记,这是很多老师训练学生写作的方法。有些英语写作不好的学生,往往不坚持写或应付了事。对这样的学生,教师要严格要求,督促检查。对学生的每篇周记,教师都要认真批改。周记不必拘泥于形式,学生可以自由发挥。开始可以写简单的几句话,要求学生多用学过的词组、句型,多套用和模仿。逐渐地,学生会写多些,也会越写越流利,错误也会越来越少。

(三)每周练习写一篇作文

教师挑选一至两篇习作打在投影仪上,师生共同修改,然后让学生将改写过的文章抄写在作文积累本上。这样日积月累,学生考前只要翻翻自己的“作文本”,即可胸有成竹,这个习惯一定要养成,对学生会有很大帮助。

(四)限时写作训练

近年高考试题包容量大,知识覆盖面广,这就要求学生在做题时必须注意速度和节奏,而高考书面表达从时间分配上看,最多也只能是30分钟左右的时间,学生必须在有限时间内完成作文,并且要意思连贯,无严重语法错误。为达到这一要求,每届学生从高一开始,就应定期做限时写作训练。

四、多积累

(一)积累词汇

词汇是说话写作的必需材料,掌握词汇量的多少,是衡量一个学生英语水平高低的“标尺”。《教学大纲》规定的词汇是最基本的词汇,必须熟记。我在多年的教学中,每堂课都坚持让学生默写或听写单词,要求学生根据中文意思,写出单词的拼写形式、词类和词形变化。这就使学生积累了大量的词汇,为高考书面表达打下坚实的拼写基础,避免了因单词拼写错误而丢分。

(二)积累句型

我在平时授课过程中,让学生把重点句型记录在作文积累本上,随时翻看和背诵。如写观点类文章常用的Some share the view that...,Others hold the opposite opinion that...,The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages,As far as I’m concerned,以及常用到的定语从句、倒装句、非限、非谓、同位语、强调句型等。

(三)积累文章

学生背过的篇章、写过的作文,尤其是各种体裁的范文习作,要分类整理粘贴在作文积累本上,经常拿出来朗读背诵。我教过的学生,都积累了大量的范文习作,考试时可做到有备无患。

通过长期的写作训练,我狠抓学生基本功,学生的写作水平明显提高。我所教班级在每次考试中书面表达平均分都在同类班级之上。总之,英语写作训练是综合能力训练之一,写作能力的提高需要通过循序渐进的训练才能达到。听、说、读、写几方面的训练是相辅相成的,它们互相促进、互相制约,在平时教学中教师要合理安排,有机穿插,这样才能让学生“下笔如有神”。

一.锤炼动词、形容词

要使作文语言新颖脱俗，鲜明生动，必须注重锤炼字词，尤其要重视对动词和形容词的锤炼。如：“低垂的天幕压着我的胸口，灰暗和沮丧撕裂着我的心。”“我们伟大组多的形象第一次在我心灵的胶片上感光。”前句中“撕裂”一词毕现了苦闷无边，失落伤痛，仿佛心叶被一点点地撕裂开，流淌着殷红的血的情景。句子那灵动的文笔，神奇的表达效果，均仰仗于动词的灵巧运用，使人倍感新颖别致。形容词妙用也别具情态。如：“爷爷站成一轮弯弯的月亮，目送着孙子远去。”句中动词和形容词的精心锤炼，使“爷爷”的形象如一尊雕塑凸现于眼前。

二.巧用修辞手法

巧妙运用修辞手法，可化抽象为具体，化腐朽为神奇，变枯燥为生机。如比喻的巧妙运用：“如血的残阳像一位戴着红斗笠的侠客。”“晚霞飘落在天边，宛如一匹红丝绸，召唤着从远古走来的吹箫人。”这是描写“飞天”壁画而运用的绝妙比喻。再如引用的巧妙：“初三的寒假，我迷上了网页设计，整宿整宿地不睡觉，可谓走火入魔。‘入魔’过了火，母亲免不了大发雷霆，喝令‘查封’电脑。”句中引用武术术语和现代新语词，使得文句既活泼俏皮，又富于自我解嘲的情味。还有引用名人名言也能使文句生动新奇：“感受成长的烦恼，你或许会崇拜尼采，只因他说过‘没有痛苦，只有卑微的幸福’。”

三.独创妙语佳句

这是根据文章表达需要，独辟蹊径创新语句的一种方法。比如：“一支钢笔用得像博物馆的‘三八大盖枪’，可还不能光荣‘下岗’。”“‘高三’两字很沉，我觉得分量超过了‘高山’。”“说实在的，班主任可真是黑，相信漂白几次后也不会输给包公的。班主任的海拔不高，头顶到地面距离为1.6452926m。”上述一系列创新出来的佳此妙句，读后给人以极美的艺术享受。

四.力求含蓄风趣

含蓄的语言耐人寻味，含英咀嚼，如嚼橄榄。语言风趣，能使文章活泼，不觉呆板。比如：“每日，总是‘夕阳红’们迎来一轮红朝日，小公园里早一片‘刀光剑影’了。”其中，不说老年人而说“夕阳红”，不明说耍刀舞剑晨练之情景，却用“刀光剑影”来描摹，既含蓄又新颖，且不乏韵味。又如：“为什么牛儿满天飞，因为我班的男生正在地上吹。”这善意、风趣的语言写绝了男生的“超级特长”——吹牛，也表现出集体生活的情趣。

五.注重新奇组合

组装是一种创新过程，其方式有多种：1、张冠李戴。如：“他一而再，再而三地‘犯规’，最后荣幸地受到校长的‘亲切接见’。这将本不应该用于批评学生的词语“犯规”、“亲切接见”用在句中，既诙谐又风趣。2、褒词贬用。如：“今日美国已是螃蟹十足了。今日到中东上思想政治课，明日到东亚开人权学习班，刚在南斯拉夫踢完了热身赛，又跑到印度半岛当裁判。”在这段话里，美国十足的霸气，一个标准的国际警察的可恶形象，通过褒词贬用的的方式充分地表现了出来。3、巧借熟语。如：“美国之所以多年来与台湾保持着暧昧关系，全然是为了自己的被窝温暖。换句话说，如果台湾这只热水袋不能保障美国伸在亚太地区的脚趾暖和，甚至还倒灌冷风，他立马就会把台湾蹬出被窝去。”“被窝”“热水袋”“灌冷风”等日常生活用语，用在分析美国与台湾的关系上，使人顿觉耳目一新。4、错位搭配。例如：“一道道幽怨的眼神凝成线，组成网，网住了班主任的脚步。”“亲切而温暖的歌词像家乡的柑橘缀满枝头和我的双肩。”句中的“眼神”可以“凝成线，组成网”，还能“网住班主任的脚步”，“歌词”“缀满枝头和我的双肩”，这些临时的错位搭配，使句子情韵深醇，清新至极。5、旧词新用。如：“小学时，桌上的‘三八线’总是一厘米、一毫米量得丝毫不差，常常由于不慎侵入了同桌的‘领土’，爆发‘自卫反击战’……‘天下大势，分久必合，合久必分’，到了初中，同桌就有了两种关系：一种是民族融合式，另一种是和平演变式。”上述例句中的旧词，被作者赋予了全新的意蕴，绽露出了新的格调，新的风韵。

“任性”这个词在2014年网络上出现的频率极高，成为了流行语，如“有钱就任性”、“有才就任性”、“有闲就任性”……这些词语反映了人生态度、价值追求、社会心理，引起了人们的广泛关注。上面的文字，引发了你怎样的联想和思考?请自选角度，明确立意，自选文体(诗歌除外)，自拟标题;不要套作，不得抄袭。

有一种任性叫执着

最近，人们在网络媒体上经常看到听到最多的两个字便是“任性”。“任性”也“任性”地闯入我们的生活，渐渐成为人们的口头禅，或称为一种人生的态度、价值取向的追求……似乎我们已进入了“任性”时代。盲目地否认这种“任性”，在我看来，似乎有失偏颇。

任性是双刃剑的两面，全盘否定或全盘肯定都会有失偏颇有失公允。在某些人眼中只抓住了“任性”的负面，忽略了它的正面，把它看得一无是处，毫无可取。在我看来，一分为二的看问题，才科学合理。当某个人听凭秉性行事，率真不做作，为追求自己的理想，坚定前行，执着便是任性的代名词，应当赞扬。而恣意放纵，为达到私利不择手段的攫取，执拗使性，无所顾忌，这种任性应当否定。吸取任性好的一面，剔除错误一面，别让任性为一己私利而放纵妄为。

当你以执着的态度追逐梦想时，我想你获得成功的机率会惊人的高。当你想象自己美好的未来，追寻初衷与梦想时，我想你大可任性地按照你所想地方向，按照本心去做，又何妨? 法国前总统萨科齐，从小在贫民区长大，受人欺侮，但他不曾低头，回到家后，他任性地在纸上写下一句话：“我一定要当总统。”自此他发愤图强，为了完成追求的公平正义，始终不向困难低头。终于，多年之后他实现了自己的誓言，成为法国总统，致力于对理想的耕耘。美国有两个年轻人不顾父阻止，都任性地辍学，任性地追求着自己的梦想，一步一个脚印地前行。多年后，世界上多了两个响当当的公司“苹果”和“微软”。这两个当年任性的人，便是后来世界电子信息行业的领军人物乔布斯和比尔.盖茨。任性执着自己的梦想，诠释了任性的真谛，任性助他们圆梦。

但你为一己之私恣意妄为不择手段时，可能离失败仅有一步之遥。当你以任性的方式当你以任性的方式追名逐利时便应该立刻收手。为了攫取私利，任性地发动了二战，为人类带来巨大灾难的纳粹元凶希特勒、日本军国主义代表东条英机、墨索里尼等人，用屠杀灭种等凶残的方式荼毒地球生灵，这注定是他们进行的一场打不赢的战争，终于被钉在历史的耻辱柱上，受到正义的审判。今天日本政府中的右翼势力，不顾人民的强烈反对，执意地修改和平宪法，篡改历史教科书，否认南京大屠杀和慰安妇等历史真相，掩盖军国主义的历史罪恶，必将重蹈军国的覆辙，搬起石头砸自己的脚，为任性付出更惨重的代价。

对于梦想的追求，徐志摩先生的浪漫令我欣赏。“寻梦?撑一支长篙，向青草更青处漫溯;满载一船星辉，在星辉斑斓里放歌。” 如今我们应当充分利用自身的优势和国家“一带一路”战略的大好形势，追逐梦想，奋力拼搏，追寻中华民族的伟大复兴之梦，将个人的小梦执着地融与国家发展的大梦之中，让理想之花结出丰硕的果实，这个任性我看值得。

作文在高考语文中举足轻重，不可等闲视之。作文的备考方案，他总结称，要想征服阅卷人，先要编织“七彩环”。

第一环：书悦之

“书”指书写卷面;“悦”这里是指使动用法，使喜悦;“之”指阅卷人，就是说首先书写卷面要取悦阅卷人。

“干净、工整、美观，是得高分的王牌;潦草、不洁、应付是打不赢的官司。”崔矿山幽默地说。

第二环：形怡之

形指作文的外形也就是结构，结构上要让人感觉怡然自乐，要行云流水。以下四种结构，供考生参考：

1 并列式。这种结构，三个分论点由一个总论点统领全篇，是考生用得比较多的结构。

2.对比式。一正一反，正反对比论证，这样显得层次井然、有条不紊。

3.递进式。层层剥笋，提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。

像现在的高考，趋势是写任务驱动型作文，可以围绕这四个字来展开：引(引材料)、析(分析材料)、联(联系现实说理)、结(结尾)。

4.自由式。适用于水平比较高的考生，要求能够纵横捭阖、运用自如，能够让文章看似无法实有法。

第三环：采醉之

作文要文采飞扬，让阅卷人陶醉其中。

语言是思维的外壳，是得高分的不二法门，一定要打造好语言，从标题、开头、段首句一直到结尾，一定要有亮点，语言要锤炼。

议论文的标题，要旗帜鲜明亮观点，要彰显文采。

第六环：意喜之

作文立意要让阅卷人惊喜、拍案，这样才能在众多作文中脱颖而出。

第七环：识服之

考生的见识让阅卷人佩服得五体投地，这种见识就表现在字里行间。

有位同学写奋斗。他开篇这样说：“每一个不曾起舞的日子都是对生命的辜负——尼采。”引用尼采这句名言，使整篇文章的见识高人一等，他这篇作文得了58分。还有一位同学，写自己要有用武之地，他说：“离开了船，船帆上的帆布只不过是一张破布。”说得非常好。

下面的材料旨在丰富学生在是非问题写作方面的思想和语言，考生在复习时可以先分类阅读这些篇章，然后尝试写相关方面的作文题。

对于素材中用黑体字的部分，特别建议你熟读，背诵，因为它们在语言和观点上都值得吸收。学习语言的人应该明白，表达能力和思想深度都靠日积月累，潜移默化。从某种意义上说，提高英语写作能力无捷径可走，你必须大段背诵英语文章才能逐渐形成语感和用英语进行表达的能力。这一关，没有任何人能代替你过。

因此，建议你下点苦功夫，把背单词的精神拿出来背诵文章。何况，并不是要求你背了之后永远牢记在心：你可以这个星期背，下个星期忘。这没有关系，相信你的大脑具有神奇的能力。背了工具箱里的文章后，你会惊讶的发现：I can think in English now！

2. Damaging Research

A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.

3. Education and Citizenship

An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.

Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.

Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.

Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.

4. The Teacher’s Role

Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.

Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.

5. Education Philosophy

For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.

Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.

In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.

This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.

6. Student Life

To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.

Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.

Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)

What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.

Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.

7. Adult Education

After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”

So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.

8. Moral Relativism in American

Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.

Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.

In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”

Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.

In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”

The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.

The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.

At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.

The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.

But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.

There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.

9. Schools Should Teach Values

People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”

There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.

As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”

This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.

We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.

What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.

These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.

After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.

10. College Pressures

Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.

What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.

My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.

I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.

“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”

Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.

It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.

The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.

Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.

Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.

Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.

I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.

“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.

“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”

“Then why are you going?”

“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”

Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”

But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.

I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.

Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.

“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”

The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”

Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.

Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.

“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”

Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.

To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.

If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.

Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.

“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”

“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”

I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.

Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.

This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.

They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.

If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.

I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.

11. To Err Is Wrong

In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?

Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.

Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:

Right over 90% of the time = “A”

Right over 80% of the time = “B~”

Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.

From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.

Playing It Safe

With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.

I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.

Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.

Different Logic

From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.

Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.

Errors as Stepping Stones

Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.

The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.

Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.

Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

[英语作文写作的需要背诵的部分

许多同学都想把作文写得好一点，但总觉得学好作文不容易，有什么办法使作文的水平提高快一些呢?许多文章写得好的人都有这样一点经验：写作文要三“多”。

首先是：多阅读。就是要大量地广泛地阅读。阅读愈多愈广、愈认真，就愈有助于写作能力的提高。阅读可以开阔眼界，扩大知识面，阅读可以增加自己的知识和丰富自己的材料仓库。多阅读可以使我们学习如何选材立意、布局谋篇、选词炼句和不同的表现方法。汉代杨雄说：“能读千赋则善赋。”唐代大诗人杜甫曾说：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神。”清代大小说家蒲松龄在《聊斋志异·阿宝》曾说：“书痴者文必工。”意思说，沉迷阅读的人他的文章必定会写得好。《唐诗三百首》的编者也曾说：“熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟。”我们阅读犹如蚕吃桑叶，蚕不吃桑叶，就吐不出丝，人不阅读，也写不好作文。博读广览对于丰富写作题材也是极有帮助的。俄国作家高尔基说：“我觉得，当书本给我讲到闻所未闻、见所未见的物、感情、思想和态度的时候，似乎是每一本书都在我面前打开了一扇窗户，让我到一个不可思议的新世界。”读得多了，积累必然丰富，思想也就开阔。有些学生作文语言枯燥、词汇贫乏，初看似乎是语法修辞的毛病，实际上是读得太少，腹中空空是一个重要的原因。

第二个是：多观察。多观察是很有好处的，一是可以培养自己认识外界事物的能力;二是可以积累许许多多真实的写作素材。有经验的猎手，看一看地上的脚印，他就能推测出是什么野兽;老中医看一看病人的脸与舌，他就能大体知道你的病情。这是什么原因?因为他们在长期观察中积累了许多经验，已经找出了规律。我们与作文也一样，要细致观察，才能看到看清看懂外界的事物，这样写起作文既有具体又能真实生动。比如唐代诗人王维写过一首《出至塞上》的诗，诗中有“大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆”两句。后来有些读者认为用“直”字描写“孤烟”似不真实。如《红楼梦》中香菱说：“想烟如何直，日自然是圆的。这‘直’字似无理，‘圆’字似太欲。”宋陆佃《埤雅》中说：“古之烽火用狼粪，取其烟直而聚，虽风吹之不斜。”赵殿臣注解说：“边外多回风，其风迅急，袅烟沙而直上，亲见其景者，始知直字之佳。”可见这诗句中用“直”字是王维细致观察边塞生活得来的真实的奇观异景。我们平时要留心观察，如观察人时，应观察人物的行为、对话、外貌等方面的特点;观察物时，要观察它的形状、颜、质地、构造和用途等方面的特点。大作家巴金说：“不管熟悉或者不熟悉的，我开始写小说以来就不曾停止观察人……我养成了观察人的习惯。”我们若也能养成观察人的习惯就好了。

第三个是：多动笔。我刚才说了多观察。我们会发现每个人的外表、性格、思想等都是不相同的。我们要把观察到的及时记到笔记本里，也可以说写点观察日记吧。勤练多写，刻苦实践，这可以说是学好作文的诀窍之一。犹如学游泳，不多下水游泳是学不起来的，学作文也要多动笔，才能笔下生辉。如蒲松龄，就是多动笔的典型。他“每峨冠博带，日游于田野间，遇乡人则扯之谈鬼为乐。乡人谈甫终，而先生已下笔如风，记载一悉矣。”乡人刚刚讲好，他已很快地把故事全记在本子上了。俄国作家果戈理也是多动笔的人，他会把所见所闻一一记入随身带的笔记本里。甚至到菜馆里吃饭，他也会急忙把菜单抄到笔记本里。后来那张菜单就被用到他写的小说里了。所以你能不怕苦不怕烦，能多动笔，经常写点，日积月累，你的笔头就“灵活”起来。同学们，你们若能保持一股热情，努力做到多阅读、多观察、多动笔，你们的作文水平就会在不知不觉中提高起来。

My dream is very simple, it is also difficult - travel painter. Since I was young, I want to be a painter, but I dont want to be a painter to draw in the studio all day. I like to travel, like watching the scenery, want to see the landscape, so when I grow up I want to be a painter, travel at a place, a place, I painted all the pictures make it a memoir, to the old time will be very pleased.

Make travel painter is very simple, it is also difficult, simply because the painting can follow ones inclinationsly, difficult because require a lot of money, if the money up, everything is not so difficult. So I always think of it as a distant dream, not desire anything. I was stupid, not the topic, others taught several times I also learn cant, so I can only rely on study hard, but I am trying to learn, also can be to average. Mother is very worried about my study, I know I like painting, just give me a quote for a painting class. I will go to in order to dream, learn to draw, start is difficult, then more draw more skilled, up to now I have to calligraphy and painting a picture intermediate difficulty of feng shui and sketch. If you ask me to learn a few years of painting, painting now? I sorry to tell you: "five years, um... study on the pictures." But you dont laugh oh, Ive been coming to the end, the clever boy than I also want to learn at least four and a half years.

Remember I also cant talk at all at the age of three or four, others see I dont speak, think that Im a mute, mother heard, very afraid, teaches me to mother tongue every day. In five or six years old, I would speak, but up to now, I speak not clear, sometimes against the elder sister call I couldnt say any words clearly, so I practice every day. What does this have to do to talk with travel painter? Then you have to go listen to me carefully.

Painting at the age of five or six, I see this two word, mother didnt teach, I just say out, mother very happy, just call me a pen to draw, then, of course, I can only draw four feet birds. And so it all began.

Time flies, suddenly I have already become a big girl, but never change is I the passion for painting.

我的梦想很简单，也很困难-旅行画家。我从小就想当一名画家，但我不想成为整天在画室里画画的画家。我喜欢旅游，喜欢看风景，想把看到的风景画下来，所以长大后我想做一个旅行画家，到了一个地方，画一个地方，把我画的所有的画做成一个回忆录，到老的时候会很欣慰。

做旅行画家很简单，也很困难，简单是因为可以随心所欲地画画，困难是因为需要庞大的资金，如果资金搞定了，一切也就没有那么困难了。所以我一直都把它当做一个遥远的梦想，不会奢望什么。我很笨，不会的题，别人教了好几遍我也学不会，所以我只能靠努力学习了，可我在努力学习，成绩也只能是中等偏上。母亲很担心我的学习，知道我喜欢画画，就给我报了一个画画班。我为了梦想，就去去学画画了，先开始很难，后来越画越熟练，到现在我已经可以字画一幅中级难度的风水画和素描了。如果你问我学了几年的画，现在画什么?我会不好意思的告诉你：“五年，嗯……学上人头像了。”不过你不要笑哦，我已经到了极限了，比我聪明的孩子也要至少学四年半。

记得三四岁的时候我根本还不会说话，别人见了我不会说话，以为我是个哑巴，母亲听了，很害怕，每天都教我学母语。到了五六岁的时候，我才会说话的，可是到现在，我有时说话都不清楚，害的姐姐叫我连话都说不清楚，所以我每天都会练习说话。这说话跟旅行画家有什么关系呢?那你得听我细细道来了。

五六岁时，我看到画画这两个字，母亲没教，我自己就说出来了，母亲很高兴，就叫我用笔画画了，当然那时我只会画四脚小鸟。于是这一切就这么开始了。

时间过得很快，转眼我已经成了一个大姑娘了，但永远不变的是我对画画的那份热情。

我住在福建省泉州市泉港区后龙镇的后乾村里，这里虽然很普通，但我爱我的家乡，爱它的平淡，爱它的朴素，等爱它那默默无闻的美。

春季时。家乡中蔚蓝的季空下一派生机勃勃的景象，那是田野的绿，我描述不出当时的美景，因为它太美了，没有任何词句能配的上它。但我知道，如果你看到这样的美景，一定会不停赞叹，当然也会有所遗憾，遗憾它不会永远停留在难一刻。但是别担心，春季去了，当然是夏季来临了，家乡的夏季，也非常的美。

夏季自然是菏花开得最艳了，那满塘碧绿的菏叶中衬托着粉红的菏花。实在是百分壮观的景象，看来菏花是不愧有水中仙自之称的啊!蝉的声音十分动听，如水般清澈圣洁，还能陶冶人情。这不是美吗

秋季时，果树上的果实不计其数，叔叔阿姨们把一些水果拿到市场上去卖，吸引了许多买家，因此，市场上人山人海，成为热闹之一，小贩的吆喝声就是热闹之二了这是秋季市场上的美。

这里。冬季并没有下雪，但我们总是自制冰块糕来玩，大家你砸我，我砸他，好不热闹。我们总会去摘梅花，因为它太美了。如雪般的白。让人会情不自禁的摘下一朵，闻一闻，沁人心脾。因此，梅花便成了我们村的美景之一了。

怎么样，不错吧!可能你会认为这跟别的地方不是一样吗或许是吧!但我却认为没有什么地方的景物能与我家乡的景物相提并论。

高考语文作文名师点津系列――记叙文运思

从小学二、三年级开始学写作文就写记叙文，写到高中了，还是解决不了记叙文的"疑难杂症"：

1.行文拖沓，故事感不强；

2."流水帐"结构，缺乏思想性；

3.平淡无味，缺乏鲜明、生动的意象。

【实用兵法】

写"标准的记叙文"，把握三个词：故事、思想、描写

1."故事"就是"出事了"。

◇"出事了"，出什么事了？谁家出事了？在哪儿出事了？因为什么出事了？什么时候出事了？……记叙要素全了。

◇"出事了"，是因为有矛盾冲突，利益的、情感的、性格的……越错综复杂越有看头。

◇"出事了"，就得解决，解决就有个过程--精彩的情节渲染点儿，扣人心弦的"疙瘩"吊着胃口慢慢解。

构思布局时，如何设计点题呢?

(1)在点题的位置上，可以考虑以下几种情况：

①在文章开头点题。如《小草》一文的开头："很多人爱花，因为花朵鲜艳多彩;不少人爱柳，因为柳树柔美多姿。然而我却爱那平凡的小草。"文章一开篇，就开宗明义，点出题意，一下子就抓住了读者。

②在文章当中点题。如《我的战友邱少云》一文中有这样一段话："为了整个班，为了整个潜伏部队，为了这次战斗的胜利，……这个伟大的战士，直到最后一息，也没挪动一寸地方，没发出一声呻吟。"这段话，不仅揭示出了邱少云牺牲的伟大意义及文章的中心思想，而且加强了文章内容与题目之间的联系。

③在文章过渡处点题。如《爱美的妈妈》一文中的过渡段："这就是我的妈妈，爱整洁，讲仪表。不过，你可千万不要认为我的妈妈只讲外表美，她的心灵更美。"这段话，不仅点明了题意，而且将文章前后内容自然、紧密地衔接起来。

④在文章结尾点题。如《谢谢您对我的帮助》一文的结尾："手中的考卷就要答完了，让我在这有限的几分钟内，对您衷心地说一句：‘谢谢您，敬爱的王老师，感谢您6年来对我无微不至的关怀。’"这段话既归纳了全文内容，又点明了题意，也写出了"我"对老师的感激之情。

(2)在点题的形式上，除一次性点题之外，还可以考虑以下两种情况：

①在首尾同时点题。如《难忘的一件事》，开头："我经历了许许多多的事，其中大多数已经模糊不清了，只有这件事至今仍记忆犹新。"结尾："这件事虽然已经过去，但它将铭刻在我的脑海深处，永远提醒着我要做正直的人。"这样，首尾呼应，既使文章结构严谨，突出了中心，又增强了文章的感染力，给读者留下了深刻的印象。

②在记叙的过程中逐一点题。如《老水牛爷爷》一文中：写他"尖尖的下巴上飘拂着花白的胡须"，点出"老";写他"会凫水，而且凫得特别出色"，点出"水";写他"脾气很怪，真像牛一样"，点出"牛";写他"辈份最大"，点出"爷爷"。在记叙中逐一点题，文章恰似一出儿徐徐展开的话剧，引读者循文生情，渐入佳境。

(3)在点题的表达方法上，可以考虑以下几种情况：

①通过叙述点题。如《草原》一文的开头："这次，我看到了草原。"这里用叙述的方法点题，话语中流露出第一次见到向往以久的草原的兴奋之情。

②通过描写点题。如《我的爸爸》一文的开头："我的爸爸今年36岁，中等身材，乌黑的头发，一双明亮的眼睛衬着白皙的皮肤，显得十分慈爱、可亲。"这里通过描写人物的外貌点明题意。除此之外，还可以通过描写人物的语言、行动、心理点题。当然，也可以通过描写环境、景物含蓄点题，或通过侧面描写间接点明题意。

③通过抒情点题。如《我爱我的老师》的结尾："刘老师啊，我的好老师!您不但教我知识，还时时刻刻以自己的言行教我如何做人，教我如何关心他人。我从心底里喊一声："刘老师，我爱您!"作者直抒情怀，点明题意，大大增强了文章的感染力。

④通过议论点题。如《记一件发生在身边的事》的结尾："‘在没有心的沙漠，在没有爱的荒原，死神也望而却步，幸福之花处处开遍。’是啊，人间自有真情在。如果我们每个人都奉献出一点爱，世界不就会变成美好的人间了吗?"这段议论，既点明题旨，也使文章增添了光彩。

(4)从修辞的角度上，还可以考虑以下点题的方法：

①运用"反复"点题。如《别了，我爱的中国》一文，在开头、中间和结尾都写了"别了，我爱的中国!"这样"反复"点题，不仅表达了作者离别祖国的痛苦之情，还使文章完整如一，增强了抒情效果和感染力。

②运用"引用"点题。如《桂林山水》开头："人们都说：‘桂林山水甲天下’。"作者引用名句点题，言简意赅，既赞美了风景如画的桂林山水，又抒发了作者热爱祖国锦绣山河的思想感情。

除"反复"、"引用"之外，还可以考虑运用比喻、拟人、一设问、反问、夸张、双关等修辞方法来点题。

需要注意的是：无论采取怎样的手法点题，总之，点题要与具体描述、具体事例的记叙紧密结合，使双方相互促进，相得益彰;决不能空喊口号，唱高调儿，说套话、大话。

【思考练习】

(1)"点题"，指的是什么，有什么重要意义?构思布局时，如何设计"点题"?

(2)拿出一至两篇自己以前写的文章，认真读一读，想想文中运用了怎样的点题方法，在此方面还有什么问题，然后动笔改一改改。

首先，景物有狭义和广义之分。狭义的景物指提供人观赏的风景、建筑等;广义的景物指自然景观和人文景观，即自然环境和身会环境。换句话说，记叙文中的景物描写是指对自然风光、建筑物、动物、植物等事物的描写，所描写的景物在文章里占重要位置，这是写景记叙文与写人记事的记叙文的主要区别写人记事的记叙文中，有对自然环境和人物活动的背景介绍、环境描写，但它们在文章中不是主要内容，是为交代事件发生的时间、地点、环境，为渲染气氛服务的。同理，写景记叙文里也有写人叙事的内容，但都是为写景服务的。

其次，写景记叙文的中心思想是通过对景物的描写和人物感情抒发表达出来的。作者可以在文章中直接抒发感情，即所谓直抒胸臆，也可以通过写景表达出来，即所谓寓请于景;还可以在景物描写中蕴涵自己的主观感受，即所谓情景交融。要注意景物描写必须为人物的思想感情服务，与人物的思想感情相一致，不能孤立地、无目的地写景。

怎样写好写景的记叙文?

(一)要写出有特色的景物

一般来说，景物是各有特色的。同样都是公园，但每个公园都有各自的独特之处。例如，北海公园的白塔、九龙壁、颐和园的香阁、十七孔桥;天坛公园的祈年殿、回音壁;紫竹院公园的竹子;香山公园的红叶等。同样是山，我国的四大名山各领风骚，独具特色。同样是水，长江、黄河源远流长，孕育了中华文明数千载。或烟波浩渺、横无涯际;或奔腾咆哮、气势磅礴。这些景色都以其特有的鲜明的特点闻名于世，只有把它们的独特之处描绘出来，才能给人一种身临其境之感，使人得到美的陶冶和享受。

(二)要学会观察

写景作文和看图作文有相似之处，都是以观察作为写作的前提。观察景物与观察图画不同，观察景物要确定观察点，也就是观察景物的立足点。观察点不同，所看到的景物也就不同。宋代文学家苏轼有《题西林壁》："横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同。不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。"由于观赏庐山的角度不同，所看到的景象，所获得的感受也就迥然不同了.

(三)要借助想象和联想

(四)写景要抒情

写景，不仅是客观事物的再现，更是作者主观感情的外观。景是外在的，情是内在的，正所谓"情随物迁，辞以情发"。景是情产生的基础，情是景的产物。因此，要求小学生不要单纯写景，而是要借助景物，抒发一定的思想感情。当然，这种感情必须发自内心，而不是无病呻吟。

34) This is a matter of life and death--a matter no country can afford to ignore.

37) This view is now being questioned by more and more people.

45) There is a general discussion these days over education in many colleges and institutes. One of the questions under debate is whether education is a lifetime study.

46) This issue has caused wide public concern.

47) It must be noted that learning must be done by a person himself.

48) A large number of people tend to live under the illusion that they had completed their education when they finished their schooling. Obviously, they seem to fail to take into account the basic fact that a persons education is a most important aspect of his life.

49) As for me, Im in favor of the opinion that education is not complete with graduation, for the following reasons:

50) It is commonly accepted that no college or university can educate its students by the time they graduate.

51) Even the best possible graduate needs to continue learning before she or he becomes an educated person.

52) It is commonly thought that our society had dramatically changed by modern science and technology, and human had made extraordinary progress in knowledge and technology over the recent decades.

53) For lack of distinct culture, some places will not attract tourists any more. Consequently, the fast rise in number of foreign tourists may eventually lead to the decline of local tourism.

54) There is a growing tendency for parents to ask their children to accept extra educational programs over the recent years.

55) This phenomenon has caused wide public concern in many places of world.

56) Many parents believe that additional educational activities enjoy obvious advantage. By extra studies, they maintain, their children are able to obtain many kinds of practical skills and useful knowledge, which will put them in a beneficial position in the future job markets when they grow up.

57) In the first place, extra studies bring about unhealthy impacts on physical growth of children. Educational experts point out that, it is equally important to take some sport activities instead of extra studies when children have spent the whole day in a boring classroom.

58) Children are undergoing fast physical development; lack of physical exercise may produce disastrous influence on their later life.

59) In the second place, from psychological aspect, the majority of children seem to tend to have an unfavorable attitude toward additional educational activities.

61) Moreover, children will have less time to play and communicate with their peers due to extra studies, consequently, it is difficult to develop and cultivate their character and interpersonal skills. They may become more solitary and even suffer from certain mental illness.

64) There is a growing tendency for parent these days to stay at home to look after their children instead of returning to work earlier.

65) Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.

66) However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.

67) Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.

68) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

69) Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.

70) Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects. They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities. Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.

71) But is it really the case? The information Ive collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think. In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.

72) Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents. Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.

73) Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.

74) From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in peoples life and economic growth.

75) Those urban planners who are blind to this point will pay a heavy price, which they cannot afford it.

76) There is a growing tendency these days for many people who live in rural areas to come into and work in city. This problem has caused wide public concern in most cities all over the world.

77) An investigation shows that many emigrants think that working at city provide them with not only a higher salary but also the opportunity of learning new skills.

78) It must be noted that improvement in agriculture seems to not be able to catch up with the increase in population of rural areas and there are millions of peasants who still live a miserable life and have to face the dangers of exposure and starvation.

79) Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.

80) Many sociologists point out that rural emigrants are putting pressure on population control and social order; that they are threatening to take already scarce city jobs; and that they have worsened traffic and public health problems.

81) Now people in growing numbers are beginning to believe that learning new skills and knowledge contributes directly to enhancing their job opportunities or promotion opportunities.

82) An investigation shows that many older people express a strong desire to continue studying in university or college.

85) There is a general debate on the campus today over the phenomenon of college or high school students doing a part-time job.

86) By taking a major-related part-job, students can not only improve their academic studies, but gain much experience, experience they will never be able to get from the textbooks.

87) Although peoples lives have been dramatically changed over the last decades, it must be admitted that, shortage of funds is still the one of the biggest questions that students nowadays have to face because that tuition fees and prices of books are soaring by the day

88) Consequently, the extra money obtained from part-time job will strongly support students to continue to their study life.

89) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that part-time job can produce a far-reaching impact on students and they should be encouraged to take part-time job, which will benefit students and their family, even the society as a whole.

90) These days, people in growing numbers are beginning to complain that work is more stressful and less leisurely than in past. Many experts point out that, along with the development of modern society, it is an inevitable result and there is no way to avoid it.

在会写记叙文之前我们首先要学会怎么去记叙好一件简单的事情：

一、要交代清楚事情发生的地点、时间;要把事情的经过、因果写明白。一件事，总离不开时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果等六个方面的内容，因此，只有把这些方面写清楚了，才能使别人明白你写了一件什么事。

然而，交代这六个方面内容不应该呆板，要根据文章的需要灵活掌握。时间、地点也并不是非要直接点明不可的，有时候可以通过描述自然景物的特征及其变化，将它们间接表示出来。

如“鸡喔喔叫了起来”，就是指天将亮了;“西边的太阳就要落山了”，指的是傍晚，等等。

二、要把事情经过写具体，并做到重点突出。在记叙文六个方面的内容中，起因、经过和结果，是构成事情最主要的环节。为了把事情写得清楚、明白，在记叙中一定要写好事情的起因、经过和结果，特别要把事情的经过写具体，给人留下完整而深刻的印象。

三、记叙的条理要清晰。一件事都有发生、发展和结果的过程，按照事情发展的顺序记叙，文章的条理就会清楚明白。

确定记叙的顺序以后，还要安排好段落层次。适当地分段，可以使文章眉目清楚。要做到记叙的条理分明，必须在动笔之前，仔细地想一想，文章应该先写什么，再写什么，然后写什么，把记叙的轮廓整理出来。

在写记叙文的时候，我们要有条理性，先要想好先写什么，后写什么，安排好记叙的顺序，不然就会头绪杂乱，条理不清。那么我们要怎么写才能让文章条理清楚呢

一、运用顺叙。

顺叙，是按照事物发生、发展的先后次序进行叙述。这样写，可以将事物的发展过程，有头有尾地叙述出来，来龙去脉，十分清楚。运用顺叙写成的文章，它的层次、段落和事物发生、发展的过程是基本一致的。

顺叙有以时间为顺序的，有以事物发展规律为顺序的，也有以空间变换为顺序的。在叙事性的文章中，大多是以时间为顺序和以事物发展规律为顺序的。

按时间顺序进行叙述时，必须严格地安排好顺序，写清楚叙述的时间。现实生活中任何事情都不会突然发生，它总有一个发生、发展的过程。因此，作者常常要根据事情发生、发展、高潮、结局这一事情发展的规律来进行叙述，文章的层次也是清楚、明了的。

当然，有的文章事情比较简单，因而不一定非要写出事情过程的四个层次(发生、发展、高潮、结局)。

二、运用倒叙。

倒叙，就是把事件的结局或某个最突出的片断提在前面叙述，然后再从事件的开头进行叙述。

需要指出的是，运用倒叙的写法，必须注意交代清楚倒叙的起讫点，顺叙和倒叙的转换处要有明显的界限、必要的文字过渡。这些地方处理不好，会使文章脉络不清，头绪不明，影响内容的表达。

三、运用插叙。

插叙是指在叙述中心事件的过程中，由于某种需要暂时中断叙述的线索而插入的关于另一件事情的叙述。

需要指出的是，在运用插叙时不能打乱原来的叙述线索，要注意与上下文的衔接。这样，文章的结构不仅富有变化，而且叙述事情的条理非常清楚。

一、认真审题，切中题意

《中考考试说明》指出，书面表达要切中题意。看到考题后，先不要急于动笔，要仔细看清题目要求的内容，在自己的头脑中构思出一个框架或画面，确定短文的中心思想，不要匆匆下笔，看懂题意，审清格式、体裁、人物关系、故事情节、主体时态、活动时间、地点等。

二、围绕中心，拟定提纲

书面表达评分原则有四条：(1)内容要点;

(2)运用词汇和结构的数量;

(3)运用语法结构和词汇的准确性;(4)上下文的连贯性。

由此可见，要点是给分的一个重要因素。为了防止写作过程中遗漏要点，同学们要充分发挥自己的观察力，把情景中给出的各个要点逐条列出。注意短文字数不要低于或超过规定的字数太多。

三、语言通顺，表达准确

(1)避免使用汉语式英语，尽量使用

自己熟悉的句型。几种句型可交替使用，以避免重复和呆板。

(2)多用简单句型，记事、写人一般都不需要复杂的句型。可适当地使用陈述句、一般疑问句、祈使句和感叹句。不用或少用非谓语或情态动词等较复杂的句型。

(3)注意语法、句法知识的灵活运用。(4)描写人物时，要生动具体，例如：①外表特征：tall，short，fat，thin，strong，weak，ordinary-looking等;②内心境界：

glad，happy，sad，excited，anxious，interested等;③感情描写：love，like，hate，feel，laugh，cry，smile，shout等;④动作描写：come，go，get，have，take，bring，fetch等。

(5)上下文要连贯。上下文的连贯性也是评分的一条原则，同学们应注意下面过渡的用法：①表示并列关系的过渡词：and，aswellas，or等;②表示转折关系的过渡词：but，yet，however等;③表示时间关系的过渡词：first，andthen，

finally，after，before，atlast，atthattime，later，inthepast，immediately，inthe

meanwhile等;④表示空间关系的过渡词：near(to)，far(from)，inthefrontof，beside等;⑤表示比较关系的过渡词：inthesameway，justlike，justas等;⑥表示对照关系的过渡词：but，still，yet，however，ontheotherhand等;⑦表示递进关系的过渡词：also，and，then，too，inaddition，moreover，again等;⑧表示因果关系的过渡词：because，since，then，thus，otherwise，so，therefore，asaresult等;⑨表示解释说明的过渡词：forexample，infact，inthiscase，for，actually等。

四、不会表达，另辟蹊径

中考作文给分是以要点和语言准确度而定，不以文采打分。造句越简单准确越好，造复合句容易出错，容易被扣分，阅卷场上有句话：“错误面前人人平等，文采好不加分。”如遇到个别要点表达不出来或难以表达，可采用变通的办法，化难为易，化繁为简。总之，所造句子要正确、得体、符合英语表达习惯。

五、锦上添花，量力而行

如果你还有时间和精力，想把书面表达写得更好，那么，请注意以下几点：(1)句型多样化，不要i(we)……到底，使人觉得乏味;(2)适当使用一些并列句或主从复合句;(3)进一步描绘人或事物时，适当使用定语从句;(4)适当使用分词或分词短语，烘托谓语动词;(5)偶尔使用一下倒装句，增加新鲜感;(6)适当调换一下状语在句子中的位置，使句子不雷同;(7)上下句子紧接时，其中完全相同的成分可以省略，以节省篇幅。

六、书写工整，卷面整洁

字迹要清晰，让阅卷人看得清楚，不可字迹潦草，难以辨认，要保持卷面的整洁。

七、检查错误

检查错误应从以下几个方面入手：(1)格式是否有错;(2)拼写有无错误;(3)语言是否用错;(4)时态、语态错误;(5)标点错误;(6)人称是否用错。

总之，只要平时同学们多练习写作并有意运用上述方法和技巧，合理分配时间，在中考时一定能写出高质量的作文，得到令人满意的考分。
