Dear Anne,

Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening.

tomorrow. I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy

get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for

Today is the second day after the end of the year. We should pay a visit to our relatives and friends as usual. After breakfast, our family went to visit their relatives and friends. We take a lot of things, first go to visit relatives in the near future, and then go to distant relatives to pay New Years call, but we have to have lunch at my grandmas home before lunch. This rule has not changed.

After we picked up our things, we set off. Today, we are happy that we can earn a lot of money today, so I have to pay a new year call, but even if I dont want money, I will go to pay New Years call. Because I love keguazi, so to every home, in addition to my money, I will be in a small dish they prepared, take some seeds, I never take the seeds, without sugar. Because of the special love keguazi, so every keguazi fingers will be particularly painful, but still melon seeds.

Whenever I arrive at a house, I will take what I have prepared before, and put them in the most prominent position in their room. I always fear they dont know, but they worry that they will show me that.

Finally, this morning will be finished, we come to the grandmothers house, but they seem to have arrived early. Soon, we began to eat in a piece of joy.

今天是过完年的第二天，我们照例应该去给我们的亲戚、朋友拜年了，我们一家早早的吃过早饭后，便去给亲戚朋友拜年去了。我们带着许多的东西，先去给近地方的亲戚拜年，然后再去远地方的亲戚拜年，但是中午吃饭之前都要在我姥姥家吃午饭，这个规定，我们一直没有变过，在姥姥家吃饭的还有我大姨的一家

我们收拾好东西后，便出发了，今天一天值得我们开心的是，可以挣到许多的钱，所以我才要去拜年，但是就算不要钱，我也会去拜年的。因为我特别喜欢嗑瓜子，所以到每一家后，我除了收钱，我还会从他们事先准备好的一个小盘子里，拿一些瓜子，我从来是只拿瓜子，而不拿糖的。因为特别喜欢嗑瓜子，所以每次嗑瓜子，手指都会特别的疼，但依然嗑瓜子。

每到一家后，我都会拿着事先我们准备好的东西，放在他们屋子最显眼的位置，我总怕他们不知道，但又担心他们觉得我这是在炫耀。

终于，今天上午就要拜完年了，我们来到了姥姥家，但是大姨他们似乎早已经到了。很快，我们就在一片欢乐之中开始吃饭了。

书面表达一直在历年高考中占有很重要的地位，而且相对于其他题型，书面表达最容易在短期内有所突破。下面小编为大家整理了英语作文的突破技巧，欢迎大家阅读。

书面表达在评阅时遵循语言第一位(语言高级)，内容第二位(要点齐全)，结构第三位(文章分段)的原则，也就是说阅卷老师最注重的是语言，换句话说是亮点，根据语言使用情况，亮点的多少而定出档次，所以同学们在书面表达中语言上的亮点是得高分的关键。

亮点一共有四种：

一、高级词汇和语法;

二、修辞手法;

三、有效的连词;

四、名人名言或谚语。

首先简单介绍亮点当中至关重要的高级语法，以及修辞手法当中的一些技巧的使用。

肯定不如否定好

修辞的使用在书面表达中算作很大的亮点，在高中阶段很少有学生会注重修辞的应用。双重否定也是种修辞，而且对于考生来说，只要稍加注意，可以在文章中设计双重否定的句子。例如想表达“邮递员天天准时到”，如果写成The postman comes on time every day，就不如变成双重否定，The postman never fails to come on time，就变成了亮点句，起到强调作用。几乎每个人对生活的态度都不同程度受到地震的影响，写成双重否定There was hardly a man or a woman whose attitude

towards life had not affected by the earthquake.应用类似的修辞会在高考中为同学们加分。

陈述不如倒装妙

在书面表达中阅卷老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种：倒装，强调，从句，独立主格和分词结构，以及虚拟语气。倒装是一种最简单易行的使句子呈现亮点的方法。在高中阶段只需掌握倒装的四种形式，足以应对书面表达，如何应用倒装，有很多方法和技巧。

否定词开头

如果写出的句子中有否定词， 例如I will never marry you. 不如变成倒装，用否定词开头Never will I marry you. 就算作使用了高级语法。其他的否定词，如not, seldom, hardly等开头后面的句子倒装都是比较好的句子。

地点状语开头

在很多年的高考书面表达中都有表达地点的句子，一个建筑位于什么位置，或什么地方有什么东西，都可以应用倒装。例如在2006年的全国卷中，图书馆位于学校的中央，Our library is in the center of our school.变成倒装就用地点状语开头：In the center of our school lies our library. 其他的例子，想表达河岸上有很多花:On the bank stand some flowers. 天空中繁星点点：In the sky hang little stars. 总之在想表达地点时就把地点状语放在句首后面主谓倒装。

这样做的好处之一是倒装本身就是高级结构，第二是倒装后把真正的主语放到了句子的末尾，后面还可以继续加从句，使整个句子再呈现更多的亮点。例如In the center of our school lies our library，which is between the garden and the teaching building.

Only+介词短语

例如在2007年全国卷中，让外教帮你找个笔友，有一句可以表达成只有通过这种方式我才能提高英语，这句话可以写成Only in this way can I improve my English.其他的例子还有Only by taking exercises can we keep healthy.

形容词+as+主语+be动词

例如Young as I am, I can manage it; Rich as our country is, we have a lot of problems. 2000年书面表达中：Badly injured as he was, he managed to take down the

car’s number. 还有其他的倒装结构，很高兴收到的你的来信：So glad am I to hear from you.在高考中要尽量使用一两个倒装。

主动不如被动巧

在近些年的阅卷中，发现考生在写作中很少使用被动语态，也许是受中文思维的影响，几乎整篇文章都使用主动语态。其实在英文中，被动语态的使用是很重要的。因为英语是一门客观的语言，而汉语是主观的语言，具体体现在英语中经常用被动语态，汉语经常用主动语态;英语中经常用物称或形式主语开头，强调一件事发生在什么人身上，而汉语经常用人称开头强调一个人发生了什么事。所以使用被动语态符合英语的习惯，如果能将整个文章中两个句子变成被动语态，就会呈现句型的变化，使整个文章句型丰富。

例如在2006年的高考中，很多学生在表达我们每次可以借五本书最多借十天时，都是用：We can borrow five books at most, and we can keep them for ten days.这句话如果写成：At most five books can be borrowed at a time and they can be kept for ten days，分数会更高。

分词结构不能少

在前文提到，在书面表达中老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种：倒装，强调，从句，独立主格和分词结构，以及虚拟语气。在所有的高级语法中，阅卷老师最喜欢看到的是独立主格和分词结构，其次是剩下的几项。但很多学生不知道如何在文章中使用这个最大的亮点。其实几乎所有的状语从句都可以变成独立主格或分词结构，时间状语从句，原因状语，条件状语等。例如条件状语从句：If such is the case, you should apologize to her. 如何变成独立主格或分词结构呢?学会下面的口诀，如果你的作文中有状语从句，马上可改成独立主格或分词结构这个最大的亮点。

口诀：一去，二看，三改。一去：去连词;二看：看主语;三改：改分词。

If such is the case, you should apologize to her.按照这个口诀来改，第一步，去掉连词if;第二步，看前后两句话的主语，前后主语不一致，所以要改成独立主格;第三步，改分词，is 变成分词是being，所以最后变成Such being the case, you should apologize to her.就变成了独立主格。

如果前后两句话主语一致，就变成分词结构，例如2005年高考书面表达中的一句话Because I am a student, I’d like to know the price for students. 改成Being a student, I’d like to know the price for students.其他想表达状语从句的时候几乎都一样。所以想表达由于，因为，如果等都写成独立主格或分词结构会让阅卷老师多给几分。

以上技巧有语文迷小编整理，看过后你真的学到了吗?

Dear Ms. Reinhart,

I am terribly sorry that I failed to arrive at BLCU last Friday. I hope

that this did not mess you up completely, although I know that you had already

made some special arrangements for my visit with you parents and friends. I am

very sorry about all that. I am sure you will be sympathetic, however, when I

tell you that my father is dangerously ill in hospital, and that I found it

impossible to leave for the visit when he is in this state.

My father was working very hard on his project on protecting the

environment. I know the project has come to a very important stage. He and his

assistants did not take regular rest for three weeks. Last night, my father had

a heart attack and was soon sent to the hospital. The doctor said my father was

in a very serious situation, and, he might need an operation.

24 hours have passed. Nothing has changed. I have to stay at the hospital.

I will let you know if there is any good news.

I am sorry again and look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Williams

很多学生在作文时最大障碍就是用英语表达意思很困难。对于这一点，首先要树立信心。实际上，大部分考生都受过正规的大学英语教育，即使是一些自学的考生，其英语水平也足以写好一篇考研作文。关键在于要把这种潜力挖掘出来。《朗文词典》(Longman的Dictionary)的最大特点，就是用2000个核心词来解释几十万个词条，而且词条大都有几个义l项。由此可见，并不一定要用多么复杂l的英语来表达，也不一定非得添加一些高难度的单词以加深判卷老师的印象。事实上，简单的语言也能表达复杂的事物。著名的美国作家海明威的作品以其明白晓畅的语言吸引了千千万万的读者，就是一个明证。

中国民间有“官三民四船五”的传统，官家的小年是腊月二十三，百姓家是腊月二十四，水上人家则是腊月二十五。我们北方地区的习俗是腊月二十三过小年，小年这一天是中国整个农历春节庆祝活动的开始和伏笔。

由于外国人不过小年，所以在英文中确实没有小年的准确词汇或释义，多数都是中国人来进行定义和描述的短语或翻译，孰优孰劣还需要您来分析了。

1.【xiǎo nián】

这就是音译了，看来这应该是最准确的翻译了，汉语拼音，哈哈。

2.【off year】

这一解释出于《汉英大辞典》，off year是目前使用最普遍的翻译，但是这个翻译却并不贴切，因为off year在英文解释中表示“非大选年”的意思，被中国人转义为“小年”，同时off year在英文中还指果树、竹子的歉收年，所以off year的译法与我们中国小年的祭灶习俗等活动完全是风马牛不相及。

3.【a lunar year (in which the last month has 29 days)】

这一解释出于《上海译文汉英大辞典》，意思指农历腊月是小建的年份，也就是说，农历腊月只有29天，没有年三十的年份。同时《外研社汉英双语现代汉语词典》中也有类似解释。

在《汉英词典》中出现的对于小年的解释：festival on the 23rd or 24th of the 12th month of the lunar year, when sacrifices are made to the kitchen god 意思是节日，腊月二十三或二十四日，旧俗这天祭灶

小年习俗的英语翻译：

4.小年的风俗 Off-year customs

小年除了祭灶仪式外，前前后后还有许多风俗。如扫尘、贴对联、剪窗花、洗浴婚嫁等。可以说“小年”是“大年”春节的序曲，在民间人们把这段时间称之为“迎春日”。

1)扫尘 Sweeping the Dust

为了迎接灶王爷，人们清除灶灰、扫墙，俗称“扫尘”。按民间的说法：“尘”与“陈”谐音，扫尘有“除陈布新”的含义，其用意是要把一切“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫地出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。因此，到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。

2)灶王爷 The Kitchen God

小年前夕，大街小巷的杂货铺、百货摊都代卖“灶王爷”像。这种木版水印的神像，大多来自“版画之乡”——天津杨柳青。那和蔼、肃穆、善静的灶王爷盛装端坐，给人以一家之主的感觉。人们都要“请”回来一帧新的灶王爷像(不能说“买”)，来代替陈旧不堪的灶王爷像。

3)写对联 Write couplets

家家户户都开始写对联。神灵前的对联特别讲究，多为敬仰和祈福之言。佛龛神像的两侧要贴上一副对联，上联写“上天言好事”，下联写“下界保平安”或“回宫降吉祥”，横幅是“一家之主”。因为紧靠春节春联也一并写成。民间讲究有神必贴，每门必贴。内容丰富，妙语联珠。

4)剪窗花 Paper-cut for window

所有准备工作中，剪贴窗花是最盛行的民俗活动。内容有各种动物、植物等，如喜鹊登梅，燕穿桃柳，孔雀戏牡丹 ，狮子滚绣球 ，二龙戏珠，莲年有鱼，鸳鸯戏水等。

5)洗浴理发 Bath and Haircut

大人、小孩都要洗浴理发。民间有“有钱没钱，剃头过年”的说法。

6)举办婚事 Marriage held

过了二十三，民间认为诸神上了天，百无禁忌。娶媳妇不用择日子，称为赶乱婚。直至年底，举行结婚典礼的特别多。

经过小年的扫尘，处处焕然一新。新贴的春联，抬头见喜。活灵活现的门神，保佑着平安。精美的窗花、五彩的年画和花团锦簇的灯笼，无不显示着小年之后，人们喜气洋洋开始迎接除夕过大年了。

提示：

1 教会如何生活 过分溺爱

2 指出缺点，指明方向 强加兴趣、价值观

3 教会富有爱心 希望值过高

要求：

1、根据内容要点适当增加细节，以使行文通顺连贯;

2、词数110左右;

3、开头已给出，不计入单词总数。

Recently, we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best teachers. Some students……

参考范文：

Recently, we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best teachers. Some students agree to the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives. They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life. What’s more, parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others. So parents are their most important teachers.

However, not all of us hold the same views. Some think that their parents give them too much love, and they are too eager to pass on their values and interests to them. Moreover, their parents sometimes expect too much of them, which makes them feel their goals too difficult to reach.

In my opinion, parents are our important teachers. But parents should also try to understand their children more and limit the generation gap.

Dear John,

I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these

years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to

inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the

earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you

please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you

wait.

By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am

of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and

carry a China Daily at hand.

Hope we can meet soon.

Sincerely yours,

Alice

Today, I and my parents back to grandmas prepared for the New Year, because thinking can get lucky money and New Year gift, the more I think more excited more think more excited. We take a boat to go back to the hometown, because the journey far away, so its almost five o clock. At night, I how also can not sleep in bed, looking forward to arrive early tomorrow. The second day, I got up early, put on new clothes, walked into the kitchen, just take the door, grandpa will be shout: "grandson happy New Year!" I also cried, "grandpa happy New Year! I wish you good health all the best!" Grandpa smiled to continue cooking.

I again to the grandmother, father, mother, neighbor happy New Year, my family a happy New Year, aunt see I wish her more long more beautiful, saw uncle and wish him the work is smooth, saw the old man and wish good health! I always said the blessings, said people happy, listening to people is more happy, and also receive their blessing, and also receive relatives and friends gifts. Blessing has received as a gift, the more I mention how happy! Firecrackers continuously along the way, has been in the evening, all day long, bright, cheery, what a happy New Year!

New Year the Spring Festival is a very happy thing for me.

Issue early in the morning, mother will push me up, said today to grandpa and grandma happy New Year. Im so happy a listen to, and hurriedly get up. After breakfast, put on new clothes, will ride together with mom and dad went to grandpas house.

Grandpas house in the countryside, the car in less than half an hour. I havent go to grandpa, grandpa, grandma is waiting at the door. As soon as I see my grandpa, grandma, I happily cried: "grandpa, grandma, we come to give you a happy New Year!" Grandpa and grandma laughed cheerfully.

Into the grandpa and grandma, they bring me a lot of good things to eat, with fruit, candy, peanut, etc. I eat, grandpa asked me: "learning is good, is there any progress". When I heard that there has been a great improvement in my grades than before, when grandpa smiled happily, repeatedly praised me is both wise and sensible, and gave me a red envelope.

I happily accepted the red packets, even say thank you. But I know, I also has the very big disparity compared with other students, so, I secretly swear: in the New Year, must work harder to learn and improve their performance, narrow the gap with other classmates.

Ate lunch, we bid farewell to grandpa, grandma, go home by bus.

An important activity during the Spring Festival is bainian （to pay a New Year call）.People start to pay New Year calls from the lunar New Years Day，that is， the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Ever since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century，ordinary people have begun to exchange greeting cards on this day.

On the morning of the lunar New Years Day，people get up very early and call on others. The earlier one does so，the more sincere he is. Moreover，people wear new clothes and a new cap，symbolizing that a new year has begun.

The younger generation should call on their elders first，such as the grandfather，grandmother，father and mother，wishing them "Good health" and "Long life". Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift. After that，people call on their relatives，friends and neighbors. As "big tangerine" is a homonym for "very lucky" in Chinese，so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call.

Nowadays，besides greeting cards，people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls.
