话题：Open Courses

1. 现在网络公开课很盛行;

2. 网络公开课有不少好处，也存在一些问题;

3. 我对此的建议。

范文：

Online open courses are gaining popularity in recent years. Follwoing globally famous universities like Yale and Harvard, some universities in China have also started to offer online open courses. Those courses have attracted people from all classes with different occupations.

The courses have brought many benefits to people. Many of the courses are provided by universities in foreign countries, and thus offer fresh ideas to us. Through them, we can keep up with what people are thinking all over the world. But that can also be a problem. Some of the courses may not be very suitable for Chinese students because of cultural differences and may cause chaos on Chinese campus.

In my opinion, online open course is useful and we should make use of it to broaden our horizons. But we should also remember to have our own thinking and not be brainwashed by improper ideas.

【参考译文】

在线开放课程近年来越来越受欢迎。以下全球知名大学喜欢耶鲁和哈佛，在中国一些大学也开始提供网上开放课程。这些课程吸引了来自不同职业的班级的人们。

这些课程给人们带来了许多好处。许多课程都是由国外的大学提供的，从而为我们提供了新的思路。通过他们，我们可以跟上世界各地的人们在想什么。但这也可能是一个问题。一些课程可能不适合中国学生，因为文化差异，可能会造成混乱的中国校园。

在我看来，网上开放课程是有用的，我们应该利用它来扩大我们的视野。但我们也要记住，要有自己的思想，不要被错误的想法洗脑。

1、先生们，女士们，请注意!

Ladies and gentlemen,attention please!

2、我有重要的事告诉你们。

I have something important to tell you.

3、今天下午3点在图书馆有一个讲座。

We are going to have a lecture in the library at 3:00 this afternoon.

4、演讲者是一个美国教授。

The speaker will bean American professor.

5、他将谈论空气污染的问题。

He will talk about air pollution.

6、请大家按时到场。

Please be there on time.

7、我要说的就这些，谢谢!

That’s all. Thank you!

8、你最近怎么样?

How have you been recently?

9、我写信是要告诉你一个好消息。

I am writing to tell you a piece of good news.

10、希望早日收到你的回复。

I am looking forward to your early reply.

中国正在修建珠港澳垮海大桥，在社会上有人支持也不乏有反对之音。请你根据以下提示，就其利弊写一篇120词左右的英语短文，并提出自己的观点。1、创多项之最，最长(全长50公里)，最难(技术难度极大);2、整体工程耗资巨大，该项目投资总额高达726亿元,如果有这笔预算的话，投资在国内的贫困地区，可以帮助很多贫困的人们;3,对周围自然环境将产生负面影响;4、建成后可实现港珠澳一小时经济圈，有利于各自优势互补，加快本地区经济发展;5、对“一国二制”的顺利实施具有重大深远意义;6、建成后，要求其做到最靓，成为一座标志性建筑，并成为富有吸引力的景点。

提示词：一国二制One country, two systems;珠港澳大桥Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge，一小时经济圈One-hour economic circle

It’s well-known to us that the Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge is being built in China. Of course it is not only well praised but also resulting in much doubt as well. Its advantages and disadvantages can be listed as follows.

Some hold the view that it is 50 kilometers long(the longest bridge in the world)and it must be a big challenge for the engineers to overcome the technical problems . Besides, the investment of the whole project is up to 72.6 billion. If we use the huge money for the western poor areas, we can help them to live a better life to some degree. Finally, it will have a negative effect on the natural environment.

However, it is true that some show much support to the project. They have sufficient reasons for it.Firstly,after finishing the project, the one-hour economic circle will be realized and the local economy of all sides can benefit each other. Secondly,the bridge will be required to be the best one and become a landmark which is an attractive scenic spot. Most important of all, there will be a profound and significant meaning to carry out “one country, two systems”smoothly.

Personally speaking, building the bridge brings more advantages than disadvantages, so I am in favor of it.

We should say that every coin has its two sides. So it is with surfing on line.

Generally speaking, students will benefit a lot from Internet. People can get lots of useful information through the Internet quickly ,no matter it is national or throughout the world. We can also listen to the music and chat with the friends far away.The most important of all is that we can search many foreigners who speak English as their native languge, which can help us improve our Enlish rapidly.We can send Email to our good friends in a few seconds---with the internet your friend dont need to wait for so long time as receiving a letter as before.

But it also can spread many side effects.for example ,there are some sexy news and pictures on web which will not do good to teenagers. And there are some games that can easily attract the students and even make you addict to the games so you can waste a lot of valuable time.

On the whole it will give you both good and bad things, the thing matters much is how do you make use of it.

【参考翻译】

我们应该说，每个硬币都有两面。所以这是与网上冲浪。

一般而言，学生会受益很多，从互联网。人们可以通过互联网获得大量有用的信息，不管是国家还是世界。我们也可以听音乐和外地的朋友聊天。最重要的是，我们可以寻找许多外国人讲英语作为他们的母语，这可以帮助我们快速提高我们的英语水平。我们可以在一个网上朋友不要几秒钟---我们的好朋友发电子邮件需要等待很长时间才收到一封信。

但它也可以传播许多副作用的例子，网络上有将不利于青少年的一些性感的新闻和图片。还有一些游戏，可以很容易地吸引学生，甚至让你沉迷于游戏，这样你可以浪费很多宝贵的时间。

总的来说，它会给你既好又坏的东西，这件事很重要的是你如何利用它。

It is quite usual that one meets failures, for ones life can never be plain sailing. However, different people hold different attitudes towards failure. Some people think it a heavy blow to fail in achieving something and they can not endure failure. When they meet failure, they will be seriously dejected and can never pluck up their courage to try again.

However, others think it natural to meet failures in ones career. Therefore, they are psychologically prepared. When they meet failures, they will not be frustrated. Instead, they will continue to meet new challenges. As to me, Im in favor of the latter view. Failure is really a terrible thing but it is also the mother of success. If one draws lessons from failures, in most cases he will get success in the future. Furthermore, ones life can never be smooth sailing; it must be full of difficulies and setbacks. If one is daunted by difficulies and frustrations, he will always be a failure. However, if one holds a positive attitude toward failure, he will overcome difficulties and frustrations to win victory.

遇到失败这是很平常，因为人的生命不可能一帆风顺。然而，不同的人对失败持有不同的态度。获取某些东西失败对有些人来说是一个沉重的打击，他们不能承受失败。当他们失败，他们将非常的沮丧并且不能鼓起勇气再试一次。

然而，其他人认为，在自己的职业生涯中的败是很自然的。因此，他们的心理有所准备。当他们遇到失败，他们不会失意。相反，他们将继续迎接新的挑战。就我而言，我赞成后一种观点。失败是一个可怕的事情，但它是成功之母。如果一个灵感来自失败的教训，在大多数情况下，他将在未来获得成功。此外，一个人的生活永远不会是一帆风顺的;它必须是充满困难和挫折。如果一个人被困难和挫折吓倒，他将永远是一个失败者。然而，如果耸对失败持有积极的态度，他将克服困难和挫折，赢得胜利。

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we cant see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Bird there is less and less fresh water in the world.Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike instead of taking a car. We had better use shopping bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. We should use both sides of the paper when we write. Dot use paper cups. At our school dinning room, use our own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. We can reuse the water and save the electricity.In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.

"There is only one earth", I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

我们都知道,我们周围的环境变得越来越糟。在一些地方,我们不能看到鱼在河里游泳或树木在山上。鸟有越来越少的淡水。一些人甚至没有干净的水喝。所以我认为我们必须做些事情来保护环境。但我们能做些什么呢?如何保护我们的环境?例如,我们可以步行去学校或骑自行车而不是汽车。我们最好使用购物袋而不是塑料袋当我们去购物。我们应该使用纸的两边,当我们写。不使用纸杯。在我们学校餐厅,用我们自己的碗和筷子而不是一次性的。我们可以重复使用水和节省电力。总之,如果每个人都更加关注我们的环境,将会有更少的污染和我们的生活将会更好。

“只有一个地球”,我希望每个人都能保护我们的环境好。

choose a dramatic setting for your first date.

according to the song by paul simon, there are 50 ways to leave your lover. having achieved that, helpful scientists say, there are si ways to find another one.

they suggest that, for a first date to be a success, you should forget the old-fashioned romantic dinner and head instead for the funfair.

the ecitement of going on a roller coaster - or watching a thriller movie - will apparently boost each others se appeal.

so will playing rock music, sharing a joke and even going for a jog together.

the si rules are set out in new scientist magazine, based on research from a variety of sources.

here they are:

1. choose a dramatic setting for your first date, such as a roller coaster, or go to see a nerve-jangling movie such as fatal attraction.

2. mirror the other persons gestures, for eample by taking a sip of your drink at the same time. research shows that copying the other person helps create a feeling of affinity .

3. share a joke or engineer a comic situation, such as learning new dance steps while one of you is blindfolded. scientists found an eperience that makes you laugh creates a feeling of closeness.

4. get the soundtrack right. it has long been said that music is the food of love and many people will turn to romantic tunes such as those by marvin gaye or barry white to create the right mood. rock music has also been proved to work.

5. take eercise together, possibly by playing sport or jogging. this boosts dopamine levels in the brain.

6. gaze into the other persons eyes. it might be a cliche, but it works.

Here’s a little token of my appreciation for all that you have done for me over the years.这是我一点小小的心意，感谢您这么多年来所付出的一切。

There may be moms all over the world, but you’re the only one that matters to me.全世界也许到处都有妈妈，但您是我惟一最在意的。

Thank you for everything over the years, mom.母亲节快乐!妈妈，谢谢您这些年来所做的一切。

Mother’s Day is a time when mothers discover how well their children can prepar e breakfast.母亲节是妈妈们发现她们的小孩会把早餐做得很好的时刻。

We would love to fix breakfast for you mom, but we think it would be safer for us all if we took you out.妈妈，我们很乐意为您准备早餐，不过我们想，如果带您上馆子，会比较保险一点。

Moms should get more than a special day, they should get a medal of honor.妈妈们应该得到的不只是一个节日，她们该获得荣誉勋章。

When I was sick, you always stood by me.当我生病时，您总是陪伴着我。

Considering the quality of food that children make their mothers on Mother’s Day, it becomes apparent that without moms, their kids would starve to death.想想母亲节时，孩子们为妈妈所做的早餐;很明显的，如果没有妈妈，孩子们将会饿死。

I want to wish you a happy Mother’s Day.祝福您母亲节快乐。

Roses are red, violets are blue. This card on Mother’s Day is especially for you.玫瑰是红色的，紫罗兰是蓝色的。这张母亲卡是特别给您的。

Thanks for being there, mom. Happy Mother’s Day.谢谢您不断地扶持我。祝您母亲节快乐。

Sometimes it may not seem like it, but I really do love you.有时候好像不是这样，但是我真的爱您。

Today is your day to relax and let us take care of you. Happy Mother’s Day.今天是您休息的日子，让我们来照顾您。母亲节快乐。

We may not be angels all of the time, but we do appreciate what you do.我们也许不是一直都像天使那样乖巧，但我们确实感谢您的教诲。

On this day we honor you, dear mother.亲爱的妈妈，我们向您致敬。

On this day we all sit back and think about how much our mothers do for us.在这一天，我们将会抽空休息一下，想想妈妈们帮我们做了多少事。

We will try to make this your best Day ever.我们将努力使今天成为您过得最愉快的母亲节。

Though it is hard to tell you sometimes, I do love you dearly, mom.虽然有时要告诉您并不太容易，但是我真的非常爱您，妈妈。

This card comes from the whole family. Happy Mother’s Day.这张卡片是我们全家合送的。祝您母亲节快乐。

I’ve tried many times to tell you, but I’ll say it again: I love you mother.我已经告诉您许多次了，但是我将再说一次：我爱您，妈妈。

请根据以下提示,以Advertisement为标题,写一篇词左右的英语短文.

1)广告成了人们生活中不可或缺的点缀

有的广告走向极端

你对广告的看法

Possible version:

Advertisement

Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. When you walk along the streets, you can see large boards with pretty girls smiling at you. You read newspapers, and see half of the pages covered with ads. You turn on TV, and you see commercial advertisements again. Whether you like it or not, advertisements fill your life.

In order to attract more customers, advertisements will sometimes go to extremes. Advertisements use every possible means in producing their announcements. For example, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will employ an actor to sit at a table and eat up their seemingly delicious food product while they film him.

Although advertisements enable you to make decisions quickly, sometimes they can cause lots of trouble. There are always many of them and they make you forget what you are sitting there for.

广告

广告在现代社会无处不在。当你走在大街上，你可以看到大的板在你微笑的漂亮女孩。你读报纸，看覆盖广告。你打开电视一半的页面，你看到的商业广告。不管你喜欢还是不喜欢，广告充斥你的生活。

为了吸引更多的顾客，广告有时会走极端。广告在制作自己的短片使用一切可能的手段。例如，对某一食物做广告，广告主会雇用一个演员坐在桌边，吃了它们看似美味的食物产品，而他们的电影。

尽管广告使你迅速作出决定，但有时会造成很多麻烦。总是有很多人，他们让你忘了你是坐在那里。

due to darwins "evolution", man, willingly or not, has to admit that he is not descendents of adam and eve but rather a species equal to the monkeys, the cats and dogs in nature. although human beings claim to be the most sapient species, it is undeniable that they have a close kinship with the chimpanzees.in a word, we are animals, though more advantageous in mind than our wild or domesticated fellow living beings. but, is this a privilege of human beings to dominate the destinies of other spedes? sorrowfully, some people disregard the natural diversity and many species are in the danger of etinction due to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on withouttaking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on without taking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human cultures. people set out to conquer nature: they plowed the soil for grains to feed themselves; they fought against storms and tornadoes to safeguard their properties; they made use of tools to eploit natural resources. this struggle against nature precludes the understanding that nature is so generous to humans and it is harmony rather than conflict that has made human lives so comfortable. if the ancestors had not found ways to cope with natural disasters and bucked up again and again in face of peril, it would have been likely that human race might have gone etinct on the way of evolution.however, as human beings get more and more used to the development in their own societies, they,on the contrary, contribute to a nature that is increasingly dissonant and hostile, where other co-eisting species are on the edge of etinction.

it is not the natural evolution, like the glaciers, that caused many species to disappear. it is human activities that is to beblamed. deforestation deprives many bird colonies of their habitat. water pollution destroys the natural environment of aquatic animals. unimaginable numbers of species have to migrate and in search of new habitat, and they die. gulls and other seabirds stranded in the crude oil from ships could not fly to collect food,they die. when furs and hides of cheetahs, rhinos, and crocodiles are sold at good prices on the international market, they die. the prosperity of human society is bloodily indebted to lives of other plants and animal species, yet human beings keep from saving the animals and plants. the money spent on protection of endangered species is money spent worthwhile. so is the effort and time. just imagine one day another intelligent species wearing the leather of human skin.

in the history of human civilization, people have always relied on nature to achieve something of value. fundamentally, we breathe the oygen released by the plants; we enjoy the ravishing beauty of nature in our arts;we even rely on animals to produce eperimental evidence in developing medicines. we owe too much to the plants and animals. it is high time that we did something to prevent the world from becoming a drab and colorless planet, with only the human species living in sheer loneliness.

在发展快速的今天，英语的地位也越来越重要，那么你认为中国人到底该不该热学英语呢?

Owing to the current exam-oriented education environment, students attach much importance to learning English. This is having a negative impact on traditional Chinese cultural values. It’s high time that we cooled down our English fever and protected our mother tongue. Instead of making English a compulsory course, schools should make it optional and offer other courses on Chinese culture and other foreign languages.

It is learning English that can help us to understand the rest of the world. Because of English, we can travel abroad without tour guides, understand the instructions of imported goods and study abroad. It is too extreme to cancel English classes in schools. It is our education system instead of English learning that makes students as busy as bees.

In the picture, there stands a tree full of fruit on one side of the stream. Across the stream, a man is trying to reach out on the edge of the band for the fruit with a net attached to a pole. Not far away there is a bridge that can lead him to the tree for more fruit.

The message conveyed in the picture is clear. In pursuing a dream, we might focus on only one say of making it come true, forgetting that there may be alternatives. As indicated in the picture, if the man is willing to look for other possibilities, he can find a better and more rewarding way to achieve his goal. All he has to do is to turn around, cross the bridge and walk to the tree.

Now more and more children in the countryside are out of school. One of the reasons is that their parents havent much money to afford their school. They have to stay at home to earn money to support their families. What a pity! And another reason is that many parents think it is useless for girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. On the other hand, some children are not interested in their lessons and would not like to go to school.

I think all the children, including girls, should have the right to receive education. We have the duty to lend them a hand when they are in trouble. All the people should pay attention to the education of children who will play a very important part in the future of our country.

现在，越来越多的农村孩子失学了。一个原因是因为他们的父母没有很多的钱供他们上学，他们不得不在家里赚钱养家。太可怜了。另外叶个原因就是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子没用，所以不让她们读书。另一方面，一些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为所有的孩子(包括女孩)都有权利接受教育。我们有义务在他们困难时伸出手来帮助他们。人们应当重视孩子的教育问题，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。

Now in the country areas, there are more and more children out of school. The reasons vary. First, many of the parents are too poor to send their children to school and children have to stay at home to get money to support their families. Second, many parents think it useless for girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. Finally, some children are not interested in their lessons and would not like to go school.

I think children are the future of our country and all the children including girls should have the opportunities to receive education. Knowledge can change the life of a person. I hope more attention will be paid to the solution of the problem, because children will play a very important part in the future of our country.

现在在农村，越来越多的孩子失学了。造成这种情况的原因很多。首先，许多父母太穷了，无法送他们的孩子上学，孩子们不得不在家赚钱养家。另外一个原因是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子无用，所以不让她们读书。最后一个原因是有些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为孩子是国家的未来，所有的孩子(包括女孩)都应有机会接受教育。知识能改变人的命运。我希望人们应更重视孩子上学问题的解决，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。

范文：

A Boom in Adult Education

Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li， my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard days work， gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class. Miss Lis case is not unique， and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.

There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people， like Miss Li， are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. To them more knowledge， or rather， more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.

Other people， especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market. They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade， administration， education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.

There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine， painting， calligraphy and photography. As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their hearts desire.

Out of necessity or out of interest， people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves， and this boom in adult education， in turn， helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.

成人教育的繁荣

每个星期二和星期五晚上看到李小姐，一天的辛苦工作之后，我的邻居，在一个公司赶回家，一个秘书，吞下她吃饭然后赶紧去车上她的英语课。李小姐的情况并非独特，现在越来越多的城市成年人度过他们的业余时间，试图提高自己在学校或学院。

有很多理由可以为他们的教育。有些人，如李小姐，都在做这件事来获得另一个学位或文凭来给社会留下深刻印象。对他们更多的知识，或者说，更多的证书意味着更多的机会，更好的工作和更快的晋升。

其他人，特别是下岗或失业的人去职业学校，准备回到就业市场。他们渴望新的技能，使他们能够胜任在零售行业，管理，教育和其他服务类的工作，他们是奇怪的，因为他们大多是蓝领工人在工厂。

也有人前来参加中国传统医学、绘画、书法、摄影等课程。当他们工作周的时候，人们开始有时间来满足他们对他们内心的渴望的梦想。

出于必要或出于兴趣，人们为了共同的目标去上学，为了提高自己，而这一热潮在成人教育，反过来，有助于提高整个国家的智力水平。

在新概念三册中，对比论证的方法反复被运用到，至少出现了五次，分别在篇章L12，L23，L38，L41 和L54的第一段出现。如果对这五篇文章中的对比论证段落仔细研读，会发现这些段落有着几乎完全一样的结构，有规律可循，所以对比论证方法应该是三册学习中不可忽略的一个部分。

这里我们就拿第12课为例。对比论证出现在了第一段。作者在第一段开门见山提出了论点：Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island（我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法）。之后作者讲了两种截然相反的想法：一种想法是imagine it to be a sort of paradise（认为荒岛是天堂）；另一种想法是Life on a desert island is wretched（荒岛生活很可怕）。最后一句话是个总结句。作者正是通过两种呈对比的想法来论证“人们对荒岛生活有不切实际的想法”这一观点。需要读者关注的是，在两种成对立的想法之间作者用了一句非常漂亮的过渡句：The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. （另一种想法恰恰相反）。于是，一个结构清晰严谨、论述有理有力的段落跃然纸上。

读罢上述五篇文章的第一段，不难发现它们都是由两种相反的观点组成，而在相反的观点中间，作者都运用过渡句，这里对对比论证的过度表达稍作总结：

The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. (L12)

on the other hand (L23)

but (L38)

…be only part of the picture. (L41)

however (L54)

了解了对比论证之后，我们不妨思考下如何运用这种手法，毕竟学以致用才是我们的最终目的。如果针对当前的英语高考作文题，我们完全可以让它在我们的考场上发挥作用。这里以上海2004年和2005年的英语高考作文题为例，看看这一新概念三册中反复出现的手法如何作为应试技巧运用到考试中。

2005上海英语高考作文题：

古人云：“天生我材必有用”(There must be a use for my talent.)。通过描述你生活中的一件事，说明人各有所长，无论才能大小都能成为有用的人。

写作文首先要做的是审题，这个题目要求你在写文章时做到两点：你的观点是支持“天生我才必有用”；用你生活事例论证。如何引出自己的观点呢？我们可以运用对比手法，可以先就题中话题先找到两个对立观点，然后再抛出自己的观点。值得一提的是，考官在批阅一片作文时首先会注意考生是否偏题。那我们如何避免偏题呢？一个很好的方法就是在开头就告诉改卷老师你扣题了。比如笔者写下如下一段作为作文首段：

People have formed an unrealistic picture of their talents. Some imagine themselves to be unconquerably intelligent. On the opposite, others tend to consider themselves a drop in the ocean, powerless and useless. There is an element of truth in both ideas, but I am convinced that there must be a use to out talent, as it can be proved by my own experience.

先写人们对自己的天赋形成了不切实际的看法，然后写两种极端的看法：一种是认为自己绝顶聪明，另一种是自己如沧海一粟，微小无用。在这两个相反的观点之间有了on the opposite来过渡。这正是运用了对比论证的手法，但是别忘了上述的两点考题要求。在列举了两种相反的观点之后就可以抛出自己的观点：I am convinced that there must be a use to out talent.而后自然用过一个as it can be proved by my own experience的句子过渡到以下的事例对这一观点进行论证。如此一写，完全不用担心是否扣题的问题，因为在这一文章首段告诉了考官自己的观点，并且通过一个过渡句说明下文内容是起到论证作用的事例。当然不要忘记这里是通过对比的手法来引出自己的观点的。

上述高考题属于比较严肃的话题，如果遇到的话题涉及生活事件呢？下面再列举另一种风格的高考作文题。

2004上海英语高考作文题

老师要求你负责班级墙报(wall newspaper)工作并征求你的意见。在日记中表述你的决定并谈谈想法。

我们首先还是要捉摸清楚考题的要点：你的决心；你的想法。负责班级墙报貌似是个小话题，但是我们完全可以运用上对比论证的手法。比如在写自己的决心时，不妨先写一般人对这样一个老师指派的任务是何种态度，而后引出自己的决心。而在写一般人的态度时完全可以用上对比的手法。比如笔者写下如下一段作为作文首段：

People show different attitude when appointed to be in charge of wall newspaper. Those who regard the task as a great burden would decline it while those who long to serve their fellow students would accept it with great pleasure. As for me, it is a golden opportunity to practice myself, so when the challenge comes, I will accept it.

可以先用一句话总起人们会有不同的态度，而后写两个呈对比的观点：一种是认为这是个负担因而拒绝承担；另一种是渴望为民服务因而欣然接受。中间运用的过度是while，这样可以将呈对比的做法浓缩在一个句子里，句子结构的复杂性提升。然后通过as for me来表达自己的态度，也就是我的部分决心。

当然，不要忽略作文题中的另一个非常重要的要求，即该作文是以日记形式出现，所以不妨将将这一比较正式的段落放在文中而非文首。

这里暂以两个高考作文题为例，运用上新概念三册中的对比论证手法，希望可以给大家一些启发，帮助大家真正地将这一结构手法活学活用。

in some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. what is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. we may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. the whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. we have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. the sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. no solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

the truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. they are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. if half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. in a welldirected effort, it would not be impossible to fulfil the ideals of a stable social programme. the benefits that can be derived from contructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. genuine and lasting solutions are always, possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. and to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information, ‘talk, talk talk,’ the advocates of violence say, ‘all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.’ it’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. after listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. ‘possibly, my lord’ the barrister replied, ‘none the wiser, but surely far better informed.’ knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
