中考英语写作万能模板【推荐20篇】

书面表达是近几年初中英语中考的重要题型，是一种反映学生表达、传递信息和解决实际问题的重要的语言测试手段，同时也是用于测试学生的语言交际能力和语言知识活用能力的一项综合性试题。《英语课程标准》对各个年级学生“写”的技能提出了明确目标，它要求学生具有较高的书面语言表达能力。然而，目前初中英语教学的书面表达相对滞后，学生的写作水平提高甚微，一提起写作学生们就犯愁，甚至一字不写，有的干脆放弃。写一篇像样的英语作文对80%的学生来说是“难于上青天”。究其原因是多方面的。学生方面：(1)汉语影响、生词造句;(2)词汇贫乏、搭配不当;(3)句型误用、语法不通;(4)信息不全、条理紊乱。因此，笔者结合新教材的内容，在教学中探索了学生写作训练的方法。

一、积累词汇

初中学生在阅读理解方面最大的障碍就是词汇量的缺乏，而扩大词汇量绝非死记硬背就能做到。最有效的方法就是大量接触各种不同体裁的英语文章，利用“在句中记，在文中记”的方法来积累词汇。因此我们指导学生依据英语报刊的特点，按栏目、话题、题材、体裁归类收集常用词，将出现频率较高的常用词汇积累到单词本子上，查字典写例句，初步学会这些单词的运用，放在身边，利用零散时间反复记忆，加强印象。还要求学生给出与单词有关的同义、近义、反义和词形相似的词，使词汇量得到最大限度的复现。如：反义词appear/disappear， crowded/uncrowded，polite/impolite/rude.词形相似的词except/expect，chance/change/challenge.这样，通过大量的词汇练习不仅仅能有效地积累词汇，还为组句打下了基础，同时还能训练学生的发散性思维和总结、归纳、比较的能力，为学生正确使用词句奠定了良好的基础。

二、活用词句

当学生有了一定的词汇量的时候，教师在教学中可以采用先易后难的方法，让学生用简单的词组成句子，再以句子的构成作为学生进行写作训练的起点，引导学生从对单个句型的掌握，逐渐过渡到多种句型的混用，直到学生能连贯自如地表达思想。一句多译，句型转换，是书面表达能力的关键。总的来说，教师在平时的教学中要将日常生活中经常出现的词、句作为材料让学生训练，使学生乐于接受，轻松完成，享受成功感。

例如：以study为中心组成句子。

I study in No.3 Middle School.I study very hard.My sister studies in the same school.But she studies harder than me.等等。

三、创设情景

例如，学生举行运动会，开“生日聚会”，以“A sports meeting”和“My birthday party”为语境，让学生在活动中仔细观察，亲身体验，然后试着用自己所学的语言知识，表达“A sports meeting”和“My birthday party”这些话题。在我们新教材的每个单元中，都设有写作训练题，它们用英语设置语境，用英语提示内容，这些写的练习，与我们平时用汉语给语境、用英语完成段落的方式相比，更为理想。当然，教师在设立语境话题时要与学生的水平和能力相适应，应从简到难，从浅到深进行。否则，学生会无从下笔，久而久之，他们会失去信心。

四、注重听、说和阅读的培养

在英语写作中听、说、读、写应同步发展。写作是一种语言输出形式，只有语言输入大于语言输出，语言输出才有可能。英语写作训练作为英语综合能力训练之一，是与英语的听说读不可分割的，它们是相互影响、相互作用的有机统一体，必须注重听、说、读、写能力的同步发展。

比如笔者实施多年的“五分钟课前演讲”：在上正课前五分钟里，要学生用英语讲述一个故事(积累素材);或者课前朗读一篇短小精 的文章，让大家课后模仿;或者就大家平时关心的话题写一个发言稿或演讲稿进行课前发言;或者让学生自立主题，围绕自己喜欢的主题写一段话。这种课前训练取得了很好的效果。

五、写英文日记

要养成记英语日记勤练笔的习惯。经常用英语记日记等于天天在练笔，这无疑是提高英语写作行之有效的好办法。在记日记时，不要总是用简单句，要有意识地用一些好的词组、句型和复合句等，使文句更优美生动。对一些所给情景写的文章，写好后要对照一些范文，找出差距，然后再去练习，不仅能促使学生及时巩固所学的知识，还能锻炼他们的恒心和学习毅力，同时对提高英语作文也是很有帮助的。只有这样，学生才能通过多练习提高英语写作水平。

总之，学生英语写作水平的提高不是一朝一夕的事，英语写作能力培养的训练方法也是多方面的，因此需要我们英语教师在教学工作中不断探索、不断研究，总结出一些更富有创新活力的英语写作方法。鼓励学生平时要多积累语素材，要求他们坚持长期写作训练，做到善于思考、勤于训练、勇于探究，充分发挥学生的潜力。久而久之，学生的写作水平就会有大幅度的提高。

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！

1.?????? Proverbs

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

一般来说，文章的开头应尽量做到“开门见山”，即要用简单明了的语言引出文章的话题，使人一开始就能了解文章要说明的内容。

一. 开头经典句型

1、对于叙事类的文章，可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。

6、Only when you attention to it can you see a colorful and harmonious future better sooner or later.

一、单项选择题

(1)先易后难：一些考题的答案比较容易选定，可以先从这些考题入手。平时练习时，应以基础为主，主要精力不应放在偏题、怪题上。

(2)分析考查意图、运用相关知识：应学会分析出题者考查的意图，明确相关题的测试点是什么，然后运用所学知识，进行分析、判断，再进行选择。

(3)利用暗示进行选择：注意考题涉及的语境范围。平时应注重对习惯用语表达、惯用法和中英文化差别等方面知识的积累。

(4)运用排除法：可采取语言排除、逻辑排除、语法排除或选择排除等方法。先排除较容易、较明显的错误选项，缩小范围，而后对剩余的选项进行比较分析，最后确定答案。

二、完形填空题

1、搭配判断法。

根据对以往试题的分析，搭配型考题在完形填空题中占的比例最高。搭配型问题主要测试常见搭配的熟练程度，比如说哪些词要搭配不定式、动名词或某种从句，哪些词必须与某个介词搭配。我们在复习时要特别注意短语动词和介词的固定搭配。

2、结构判断法。

结构型问题主要包括句型、句式、连接词的选择等，解题时要运用句法知识，把握关键词，从而做出迅速正确的判断。完形填空题中有很多是利用语法的正确性与逻辑的排斥性间的矛盾来设计的。因此考生应结合上下文的合理性及意义关系的逻辑性选择最佳答案。完形填空中常考的逻辑关系主要有：

(1)转折、让步关系：这种关系表明后一种观点或事实与前一种观点或事实相比有些出乎意料。

常见的表示转折、让步的词或词组有：but，still，yet，however，though，although，no matter，in spite of，anyway，even if等。

(2)因果关系：

表示原因的连词或词组有：because (of )，due to，owing to，thanks to，since，for，as等。

表示结果的词或词组有：so，therefore，then，as a result，in consequence，consequently，thus等。

(3)递进、补充关系：这种关系表示对前一事实或观点做进一步阐述。

常用的词、词组有：moreover，likewise，besides，in addition，also，too，not only…but also，apart from，what‘s more 等。

(4)对比、比较关系：对比观点或事物间的差异性，比较观点或事物间的同一性。

表示对比的词或词组有：in contrast，by contrast，on the contrary，conversely，unlike，oppositely 等。表示比较的词或词组有：like，in comparison，compare…with，as，just as等。

3、词义判断法。

词汇型问题也是完形填空的一个考点，主要测试考生在段落语篇中把握语义连贯性的能力，提供选择的词可能是近义词、近形词也可能是随意拼凑的四个选项，遇到这类题，既要联系上下文，又要具有扎实的词汇基础，有时还须根据自己的文化背景知识做出判断、选择答案。

三、阅读理解

在做阅读理解题时，除了掌握前面介绍的基本题型、基本法则外，还要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力的训练主要可以从下面几个方面入手：词汇、方法、侧重点。

1、词汇：猜词的技巧。

在阅读过程中，不可避免地会碰到不认识的单词，考试中又不允许查词典，有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影响不大，可以忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下，必需猜测词的含义，这就需要利用猜词的技巧了。

最基本的猜词技巧有两种：一是根据构词法的规则猜，构词法的规则在前面的章节中已有介绍，这里就不重复了;另一种猜词的技巧是根据上下文的描述、解释、列举、比较等，运用已有的知识，分析、推断该词的含义。常用的猜词技巧可归纳为以下几种：

(1)利用词根、词缀构词法推测词义。通过构词法推测词义是最常用的方法之一。

(2)分析文中对该词的直接定义推测词义。

作者在行文中有时不得不使用某些难词、偏词，为使读者理解，作者常常会在文章中直接解释该词语。作者或通过同位语，或使用定语从句加以阐明，或用冒号、破折号、括号给出，或用语篇标志词引出，这类语篇标志词有：that is (to say); e.g.;oor，in other words;to put it in another way等。如：

She is bilingual.In other words，she speaks English and French equally well.(bilingual：会说两种语言的)。

(3)分析文中对该词的近义复述推测词义。

同一短文中前后两个句子、短语或单词通常有互释作用，可以从上下文的复述中获取与某一单词或短语相关的信息以猜测词义。如：

It is difficult t

o list all of my fathe‘s attributes because he has so many different talents and abilities.(attribute：特质;才能)

(4)分析文中对该词的对比和并列表述推测词义。

利用上下文中的对比或并列表述猜测词义是最常用、最可靠的方法。有不少句子会在上下文中给出某个生词(尤其是偏词、难词)的同义词或反义词，运用对比或并列表达对这些生词加以推测。通过了解词与词之间的连接关系，特别是一些语篇标志词，如：however;on the other hand;nevertheless等，我们不难推断这些生词的词义。如：

If you agree，write “yes”;if you dissent，write “no”。(dissent：不同意）

导语：蒲松龄，清朝文学家。19岁应童子试，接连考取县、府、道三个第一。下面是语文迷小编为大家整理的关于蒲松龄的故事，欢迎阅读，谢谢!

【蒲松龄简介】

蒲松龄(1640-1715)字留仙，一字剑臣，别号柳泉居士，世称聊斋先生，自称异史氏，现山东省淄博市淄川区洪山镇蒲家庄人，汉族。出生于一个逐渐败落的中小地主兼商人家庭。19岁应童子试，接连考取县、府、道三个第一，名震一时。补博士弟子员。以后屡试不第，直至71岁时才成岁贡生。为生活所迫，他除了应同邑人宝应县知县孙蕙之请，为其做幕宾数年之外，主要是在本县西铺村毕际友家做塾师，舌耕笔耘，近42年，直至1709年方撤帐归家。1715年正月病逝，享年76岁。创作出著名的文言文短篇小说集《聊斋志异》。

【关于蒲松龄的故事】

1.蒲松龄赴宴

蒲松龄中了贡生回来,心里很高兴。虽还没有中举,也算是个“候补举人”了。亲戚都来贺喜的时候,蒲松龄接到了新上任的淄州县官的请帖,请他明天赴新官上任的喜宴。

几十年来,蒲松龄从不赴新官上任的宴请。今日一见请帖,倒是欢喜起来。也就答应送帖的衙役,明日准时赴宴。

这新上任的县官,是两榜进士出身,也是苦熬了几十年,才考中进士当上知县的。五十出头的年纪,比蒲松龄小了20岁。

第二天,蒲松龄到了宴会厅一看:在座的全是县里的财主和秀才,也有稀稀朗朗的几个举人,足有三十来号人。宴会开始,衙役们先抬上两坛“状元红”。他一看这酒,就知道不是本地生产,是从外地买的名贵酒。“三班”“六房”斟满酒,端上菜,县官起身拱手说:“列位才士、东家,下官来此,请多行方便。今日特备水酒一杯,不成敬意。来,共干一杯"众秀才们也都起身,端起"状元红"一饮而尽。一齐咂摸咂摸嘴儿,拱手说:"蒙大人恩典,好酒好酒"县官看大家一饮而尽,心里也挺高兴。可看到蒲松龄那里,只见他咂了一小口儿,就把酒杯放下了,也不拱手致谢,只是低头沉吟。

县官一看,心想:此中定有道理。便自己另斟一杯,端着走到蒲松龄的跟前,说:“蒲兄,这酒如何?”“苦涩。”“这状元红是天下名酒,人人都说好,怎么苦涩哪?”“这酒来之苦涩。是富人家送的吧?”“不错,下官上任,本县富户祝贺,送酒两坛,特请大家来一起享用。”“大人应知无功不受禄。无功受禄则为贿赂。行贿者如无求于大人,何必行贿?平日说吃了人家嘴软,使了人家手短。日后,如涉官司,行贿谋私而理歪,大人何以对之顺其歪理则不法。这样,百姓冤不能伸,理不能直,如何治天下?大人岂不就成了赃官了?做官不为民作主,满腹才学总是零。所以,我说这酒味儿是苦涩的?”县官一听,一时什么话也说不出来。这时,一个衙役过来拉了拉他的袖子,说:“大人,酒喝光了,酒兴正浓,您看怎么办?”县官随即从衣袋里摸出一锭银子,说:“这是在京临上任时领的一点俸禄,到街上打点白酒,请客人们尽欢吧?”不大工夫,又来了白酒三坛。揭盖一饮,就不是状元红那个滋味了。众客为了不抹面子,都小口儿抿,只沾沾嘴唇,不比先前那个场面了,也没有拱手的了。

蒲松龄一见,可来了劲。他大叫衙役:“拿大碗来。”衙役拿来了饭碗。只见蒲松龄一连骨突突喝了三大碗。七十多岁的人了,喝完把胡子一摸,哈哈大笑着说:“真好酒,天下第一美酒。”又向秀才们拱拱手,说:“列位知道这酒的名吗?”半天没人放声。“这叫清明酒。是咱县太爷,用自己的俸禄,买酒招待列位。它不是列位方才喝的那种贿赂酒--状元红。”就这工夫,只见那些袍儿帽儿的富户,都一个个地溜跑了。秀才、举人们没走,倒是痛痛快快地又喝了三坛酒。

酒宴散后,这位县官闭门三天,也不问案,也不出门,只是在屋里打转转,琢磨蒲松龄这话中的道理。

听说,这县官官做得清明如水。临卸任时,蒲松龄死了。他嚎啕大哭,挂冠出了城门,百姓也泪汪汪地送行,边送边问:"大人为官清正,今日升调本是好事,为何大哭起来"县官擦擦泪,边走边说:"官职大小是小事,失去恩师教导,却是痛心的大事啊""谁是恩师""本县蒲圣人,松龄先生。"这县官叫什么名,没传下来。

2.灯下读诗

淄川城的东边有一个蒲家庄。村子四周被垂柳环绕，村外有条清澈见底的小河，不远处是蜿蜒起伏的群山。1640年，蒲松龄就出生在这个山青水秀的村庄。

蒲松龄家兄妹五人，他排行第三。父亲蒲某很有学问，却没有取得功名，后来就去做生意。由于不善经营，买卖并不兴隆，家里人口又多，生活很不富裕，没钱请老师，父亲就亲自教孩子们念书。几个孩子里数蒲松龄最聪明，最刻苦，也最得父亲的宠爱。

蒲松龄不但学习用功，方法也很巧妙。一天晚上，他在灯下读诗，一首古人描写月光的诗吸引了他，尤其对“山明疑有雪，岸白不关沙”这两句，十分欣赏。他的脑海里浮现出这样的图景：

山峦披着月光，就像布满了积雪;河岸一片白茫茫，就像铺了一层银色的沙子。

这两句写得多么逼真，多么优美啊!蒲松龄马上把这首诗抄在了本子上。他又想：这位诗人还有没有其它描写月光的诗呢?于是，他又翻阅起诗集，把写月的诗都找出来，仔细抄在本子上。

后来，蒲松龄又把其他诗人写月的诗都抄录下来，还用同样的方法阅读抄录了很多古人咏雪的诗歌。

就这样，他广泛阅读，分门别类抄录下来，再加以比较，细心体会，渐渐地掌握了写诗的方法。后来，他的诗写得十分出色，和小时候下了功夫很有关系。

3.三次第一名

十九岁那年，蒲松龄参加了一次考试。这次考试很重要，决定他是否能成为“秀才”。他自信能考好，因为在这以前的县、府两次考试中，他都得了第一名。

那时候，科举考试主要是考八股文。每篇文章由破题、承题、起讲、入手、起股、中股、后股、束股八部分组成。在起股到束股这四段中，每段都有两股排比、对偶的文字，共八股，所以叫“八股文”。八股文写的主要是四书五经上的东西，文章格式死板，就连字数都有规定。所以，这种考试制度，很难看出一个人的真才实学。

蒲松龄参加的这次考试，主考官是著名诗人施闰章。他不喜欢八股文，所以，出的作文题目同一般糊涂的考官不大一样，有些文学色彩。

那天，天刚刚亮，考生们排着队进入考场。考场有士兵把守，严密地监视着考生，这气氛真是令人紧张。

蒲松龄从容进入考场，领了试卷，按照卷面上印的座位号坐好。这时候，考场的院门已经上了锁，一阵敲击木板的声音响起，场内一片肃静，只有差役举着题目牌在过道上走来走去。

作文的题目是《早起》。蒲松龄看了题目以后，不禁有些犹豫，要是完全按照八股文的要求写，只能把文章写得死板枯燥，就对不起这道好题了。经过一番斟酌，他决定按自己的心意，写出一篇好文章。他想到，大官儿们早早起来，去朝廷争权夺利;那些卑鄙的小人，也早早起来，跑到富贵人家，奉承拍马。想到这儿，他忍不住笑了，立刻提笔写起来。一篇讽刺社会丑恶现象的文章完成了。

考试成绩如何呢?蒲松龄又得了第一名，成了秀才。因为施闰章非常赞赏他的文章。施闰章写下了这样的批语：好像在空中闻到了奇异的芬芳，把当时人追逐富贵的丑态集中在“早起”这两个字上面。读了这样轻松明快的文字，使人能享受到甩着胳膊随意游玩的乐趣。

后来，施闰章见到了蒲松龄，非常喜欢这个有才华的青年，就收他做了自己的学生。蒲松龄也对自己的未来充满希望。

4.摆茶摊

蒲松龄回到家乡以后，为了谋生，到本乡的有钱人家当了一名教书先生。连他自己也没想到，从此竟一连教了四十年书。

但是，他最大的乐趣，还是写故事。为了收集更多的故事材料，他经常在村外的路口旁边，摆个茶水摊，自己坐在席子上，招呼过往的行人：

“歇歇脚吧，喝口水，抽袋烟。”

“谢谢啦。您这茶水多少钱一碗?”客人问。

“水随便喝，烟随便抽，不要钱。”

“噢?有这么好的事?”

“不过，您要是有什么新鲜的故事，就请讲给我听听。”蒲松龄诚恳地说。

客人奇怪地问：

“您这么爱听故事吗?喜欢听什么样的呢?”

“讲什么都行。”蒲松龄爽快地说，“当然越奇怪越好，神啊鬼呀的，更欢迎。我最爱听奇闻。宋朝的苏东坡，不就喜欢听别人讲鬼的故事吗?我跟他一样。”

客人们见他这么有趣，也就天南海北地聊起来。他们中间有出外干活的汉子，有做买卖的商人，还有云游四方的文人，见多识广，讲的故事五花八门。不管什么故事，蒲松龄听得都十分认真，回到家里，还把听到的记下来，等有了时间，再编成完整的故事。

有一回，蒲松龄听一个木匠讲了这么一个新奇的故事：

有个皇帝喜欢斗蟋蟀(就是蛐蛐)玩。地方官吏就逼老百姓每年捉蟋蟀上贡。有个人因为交不出蟋蟀，被官府打得死去活来，还罚了很多钱。后来，那个人好不容易捉住一只又大又凶的蟋蟀，不料又被他的小儿子弄死了。小儿子害怕父亲打他，就悄悄地投了井。全家人正哭得死去活来，忽然见到一只大蟋蟀，忙捉住它献给皇帝，全家人才免遭灾难。后来才知道，这只蟋蟀是那人的小儿子变的。

这个故事多悲惨哪!蒲松龄听了，不觉流下了眼泪。他想：我一定要把这件事写成动人的故事，让大家看看官府压榨百姓是多么残忍!

后来，他真的写下了不朽的名著《促织》。多少年来，谁看了《促织》这篇故事，都会感慨万分的。

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.

60) It is hard to imagine a student focusing their energy on textbook while other children are playing.

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.

62) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that, although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages, its disadvantages shouldnt be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school.

63) Any parents should place considerable emphasis on their children to keep the balance between play and study. As an old saying goes: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

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.

83) For the majority of people, reading or learning a new skill has become the focus of their lives and the source of their happiness and contentment after their retirement.

84) For people who want to adopt a healthy and meaningful life style, it is important to find time to learn certain new knowledge. Just as an old saying goes: it is never too late to learn.

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.

both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. an english proverb is well said: “work while you work play while you play.” it makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.

work is one thing and play is another. it is of course not good to work all day long. however, it is also not good to play all day long. while you work, you should work in earnest. then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. that goes without saying.

"该工作时工作"英语作文译文:

工作和游玩两者对我们都是必须的，前者给我们知识，后者给我们休息。英谚说得好“工作时工作，游玩时游玩”。它使我们的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。

工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。当你工作时，你应认真工作。那末当你游玩时，你会觉得比较轻松愉快。那是不需说的。

零基础英语写作入门方法一：背单词

单词是英语写作的基本构成之一，拥有大量的词汇才能写出你想要的文章，背单词有很多方法用mp3在零碎的时间边听边背边写，还有单词前后缀记忆法等众多方法，只要掌握其中一种适合你的方法，就开始大量的充实你的词汇吧。

零基础英语写作入门方法二：语法

语法是将单词串联在一起变成文章的那根线，学习好语法是整个英语阅读的重中之重。推荐熟读语法俱乐部，同时搭配大量的阅读自己感兴趣的文章，在大量的语境中去领受感悟本书的妙处。

零基础英语写作入门方法三：长时间的练习

写日记，这是最简单最长久的写作练习你不需要有任何的准备，这是你会接触到最基础的写作练习，你可以写任何你感兴趣的事情，你要做的就是拿起笔和本子把自已生活上的点点滴滴用英文记录下来。下面就是我的第一篇英文日记！

"today i rest,i stayed at home.sister call me go to the mother.i want not go there,because i must go to the company .去领 clothes.刚刚上完课come back.at home i find my 皮 shoes.now 要穿皮shoes了,write 日记好搞笑，还可以写点english了,i believe 以后 i sure i会更好。”

大家可能会看不懂这篇文章。你可能会觉得很好，说老实话当我现回过头去看我以前的日记我看了也觉得很好笑。但这就是我的第一篇英文日记，我的英文写作就是从这里开始的。你会发现写得非常直白，简直就是中文翻译毫无语法可言。但没有关系每个人开始都是这样的。

在写日记的开始阶段，你可能会像我这样不知道怎么去写或跟本无法组织语言，你可以像我这样按自已大脑里中文的想法去写，把会的单词都写上去不会的就用中文代替。在这个阶段你更多的是在使用你所学的词汇，有时候你会觉得这样很好玩。每天坚持写一篇，慢慢的你会发现你用的中文越来越少了有时候整篇文章都可以用英文写出来，随着你英语学习的进度不断推进，你在写句子的时候你不会直译了，你开始吧语法考虑到你的语言组织里面去。

当你要表边一个句子又找不到这个单词的时候，这种映像会深深的印在你的脑海里，当你在收集单词时候你就会注意收集那些非常实用的单词了。你会背更多的单词因为你想终有一天我的整篇文章是用英文写的。对于初期的写作，我认为就是这样写吧，请注意兴趣的培养。

一、开头经典句型

一般来说，文章的开头应尽量做到“开门见山”，即要用简单明了的语言引出文章的话题，使人一开始就能了解文章要说明的内容。

1、对于叙事类的文章，可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。

如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头可以是：Last month, my family went to Huangshan by train. It took us ten hours to get there. What a long and tiring journey! We were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.

2、对于论述性的文章，可以在开头处先阐明自己的观点，接着展开进一步的论述。

如“The Time and the Money (时间和金钱)” 的开头可以是：Most people say that money is more important than time. But I dont think so. First, when money is used up, you can earn it back， but……

3、在描述事件或游记类的文章中，采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。

这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇，如never forget(永远无法忘记)、 remember (记得)、unforgettable(难以忘怀的)、 exciting(令人激动的)、surprising(令人惊讶的)、sad (难过的)……

如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头还可以这样写：I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had.

4、在叙事类或论述性的文章中，都可采用疑问型开头，这样既可以吸引阅卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。

如“Planting Trees(种树)”的开头可以是：Have you ever planted trees? Dont you think planting trees is ……

再如“Traveling Abroad(出国之旅)”的开头可以是：If you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider Singapore?

5、有的文章，特别是叙事类的文章中，可以采用倒叙的写作手法，先写出事件的结果，再陈述过程。

如“Catching Thieves (捉贼)”的开头可以这样写：I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. Its a ... story.

二、结尾经典句型

1、随着文章的结束，文章自然而然地结尾。

如“Helping the Policeman (帮助警察)”的结尾可以是：The two children were praised by the police and they felt happy.

再如“The Tortoise and the Hare(龟兔赛跑)” 的结尾可以是：When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。

2、升华主题在文章的结尾可以用含义较深的话点明主题，深化主题，起到“画龙点睛”的效果。

如“I Love My Hometown(我爱家乡)”的结尾可以是：I love my hometown, and I am proud of it.

3、反问结尾，引起深思

这种方式的结尾虽然形式是问句，但意义却是肯定的，而且具有一定的强调作用，可引起他人的深思。

如 “Learning English can give us a lot of pleasure (学英语能为我们带来许多乐趣)” 的结尾可以是：If we learn English well, we can …Dont you think learning English is great fun?

4、表达祝愿，阐述愿望

这种方式的结尾常出现在书信或演讲稿的文体中，表示对他人的祝福或对将来的展望等。

如“A Letter to the Farmers(给农民们的一封信)”的结尾可以是：I hope the farmers life will be better and better.

另外，书信的结尾常有以下形式的祝福语：best wishes; I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year; I wish you have a good time等。

很多孩子对作文的畏难情绪和厌烦心理十分严重。喜欢作文的少，对成绩不在乎的多。下面是小编整理的如何提高中考作文写作水平，欢迎阅读。

由于家长不了解孩子的实际情况，作文指导无法做到有的放矢，孩子胡编乱造，被动应付，必然产生厌烦情绪。要克服目前普遍存在的，孩子怕作文，家长有劲使不上的状况，对孩子作文水平的正确认识是一个前提。

孩子说作文难，归纳起来不外乎两点：

一是难在写作时不知道该写些什么

二是难在作文不知道该怎么写

究其原因主要有三方面：

一、积累不多

是生活积累受其年龄限制，不够丰富;

二、内容空洞

受其知识基储阅读量的限制，文章内容干瘪，缺乏知识性和趣味性;

三、缺乏理性

是受其表情达意的能力及写作方法掌握较少的制约，使文章缺乏条理性。

因此，我们家长必须改变，“讲”作文、“教”作文的做法，把解决作文题材作为突破口，把克服畏难情绪作为前提，把培养孩子的主动意识作为主线，从而全面提高作文水平。

阅读是写作的基础，养成良好的阅读习惯，积累更多的语言材料语文学科不像自然学科那样严密，它始终离不开由量变到质变的过程。现代著名作家巴金对于背诵记忆的积累作用谈得十分直接，他说：“现在有多篇文章储蓄在我的脑海里了。虽然我对其中任何一篇都没有很好地研究过，但这么多的具体东西最少可以使我明白所谓‘文章’究竟是怎么回事。”这便是积累的很好体现，孩子的阅读积累也是同样的道理：读得多了，自然就会从各个方面得到提高。

阅读包括两方面：

一是阅读语文课本上的文章

语文课本的文章是家长对孩子进行语文基本功训练的例子，要想使孩子学到更多的知识，并使其转化为能力，就必须加大阅读量。

二是阅读课本以外好的文章

古人云：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”。可见阅读与写作的关系是密切的。

阅读应养成良好的习惯：

一是要把文章读懂乃至读熟，要明白作者是怎样运用语言文字来表达中心的，切忌走马观花，囫囵吞枣。读后应能记住文章的内容，知道其大概的意思。

二是要养成“不动笔墨不读书”的习惯。读书时，不仅要善于把那些生动、优美的词语和精彩感人的片段摘录下来，还要勤于读书写心得等。只有引导孩子多读书，才能帮助孩子积累更多的语言材料。

叶圣陶先生说“生活犹如泉源，文章犹如溪水，泉源丰盛而不枯竭，溪水自然活泼地流个不停歇。叶老的话形象地说明了生活与作文的关系。我们要抓好作文训练这个“流”，就必须同时抓好生活这个“源”，家长应该沟通课堂内外，充分利用学校，家庭和社区等教育资源，开展综合性学习活动，拓宽孩子的学习空间，增加孩子语文实践的机会。所以教学中应积极引导孩子多参加一些社会实践活动，或引导孩子把目光投向现实生活，开发和利用各种课内外教学资源，让孩子阅读社会这本“无字之书”，并让孩子养成写日记写心得的习惯，做生活中的有心人，这样有了充足的“源”，自然就有取之不尽用之不竭的“清水”和“活水”了。

降低写作门槛，消除孩子的畏难情绪，题目要松绑，并要贴近孩子实际，鼓励写出真情实感，我们提倡孩子真实地做人，真实地思想，孩子在写作的艰苦劳动中，要随心所欲，爱写什么，就写什么，只要是积极奋进，健康向上的，都可以大写特写，阳光明媚，春风轻拂可以写，电闪雷鸣，风雨交加也可以写，一草一木，一笑一颦，一俯一仰，凡人凡事都可以写，整个写作过程中“应该积极参与作者的感情体验，做到感同身受，撞击出心灵的火花，让一个活生生的人写出他自然而然的内心喷涌而出的生活感受来”，宋人谢枋说这样做的好处是：“初学熟之，开广其胸襟，发舒其志气，但见文之易，不见文之难，必能放之高论笔端不窘矣。”

中考英语作文是一大难点，怎么样让自己的作文更加的高分呢?下面请看语文迷网为大家整理的技巧。

1、为了保证文章层次分明、条理清楚，要把时间固定下来，如：记叙一件事要用过去时;写经常发生的事或对人物的描写，要用一般现在时。整个文章中的人称要一致，首尾呼应，不要随意改动，以免造成误解。

2、不要为了追求“一鸣惊人”而去找一些生冷的词汇，对这些一知半解的词你不会用，不知道如何搭配，结果可能适得其反，使文章显的生硬、不协调，甚至错误百出，所以要使用有把握的词，避免不必要的失分。比如说发生了一起意外事件，我们通常用“have an accident ”来表示，不要错误的使用“have an incident”。

3、注意不同语言的表达习惯，也是写好英语作文的重要环节，如“我的理想是做一名歌手”，很多同学写成“My ambition is to do/make a singer，” “to do”表示“做”或者“干”，“to make”表示“制作”，而“做一名歌手”则表示“成为一名歌手”应该用“be/become a singer”;又如“看书、看报”应用“read a book/newspaper”，而不是“see a book/newspaper”。因此，平时应该注意不同语言的表达习惯，切忌望文生义或一味生搬硬套。

4、有些同学因怕出错而只写短句或简单句，写出的文章过于幼稚、空洞乏味。要使文章有血有肉就要把平时学的知识用进去，如：定语从句、宾语从句、非谓语动词和比较等句型，关键时用上一、二个，就能使文章不同凡响，更有文采，特别是对关联词的使用，如“so that”、“not…but ”“not only...but also”等，会使你的文章逻辑结构紧密、层次鲜明、条理清楚，更能显示出你的英文功底，但要做到这些并非一日之功，要靠平时的不断训练和积累。

5、最简单的增分点就是认真的书写。工整漂亮的书写会给评卷老师留下美好的第一印象，在扣分时自然会“手下留情”，而且很多地区都在写作上有1分的书写分。只要平时多下点功夫，得到这一分并不难。

注意事项：

最后将中考写作的基本步骤和技巧归纳为以下几个环节：

1、细心审题细读题目中每一项提示或观察所给的每一幅画，明确文章的中心思想，弄清题意，确定写作体裁，掌握所要表达的要点做到心中有数，避免随心所欲，文不对题。

2、理顺要点在所给提示或图上标出要点，然后按事件先后的顺序或各要点之间的内在联系排序，分出层次。如果是看图作文，则要按图构思，这样做既可避免要点遗漏，又可使表达内容条理清楚。

3、构成框架将理顺的要点或每幅图画的含义加以连贯，构成写作的整体框架，进一步定人称、定时态语态、定顺序、定段落、定开头结尾。基本框架构成后，写作就有了把握。

4、组织句子用自己最熟悉的短语或句型将理顺的要点逐句表达出来，多用简单句，用有把握的复合句。要扬长避短，避难就易。若遇到表达障碍，可换一种说法，将一句变成两、三句，只求达意。

5、串句成篇将写好的句子连贯地组织起来，注意上下句的逻辑关系，适当采用递进、让步、转折、因果等关联词语，使短文浑然一体，层次分明，过渡自然。6、检查修改文章草成后，默读1～2遍，检查修改，尤其要注意人称、大小写、拼写、习惯用语、格式有无错误，要点有无遗漏，文句有无语病，词数是否恰当，行文是否连贯。

英语写作水平的提高是一个渐进的过程，只要同学们在平时多加训练，多读文章，做一个有心人，就能在中考作文中取得理想的成绩。

如何把半命题变为有利于自己发挥特长的命题，可以说是一种技巧和艺术。因此，要掌握半命题作文的补题技巧，写作时才会做到游刃有余、收放自如。

半命题作文写作，关键在于高明补题、精心构思。如果思维闭塞、缺乏创新，都是按照同样的思路去命题，则容易出现“千人一面”、千“空”一“词”的雷同题目现象。

第一步：仔细斟酌 补好题目

1、准确理解，辨清题意

写好半命题作文，最重要的是拟好题目。我们应对题目认真审度，理解每个词语或句子的意思。如2010年江西南昌的作文题目“我读____”，从句子成分来分析，明显地缺了吗?不行。还要抓住至关重要的关键词。把握住了关键词语，也就掌握了正确理解题意的钥匙。题目中的关键词语，有的明显，有的隐蔽，有的甚至是命题者故意设置的迷惑和干扰因素。上面例题中的“读”就是关键词语，重点扣住“读”的程度或过程，把最能反映特殊爱好而自己又沉醉其中的那个事物名称填上就行了。如《我读四大名著》《我读松花江的浪花》《我读妈妈那颗期盼的心》等等。

2.细处入手，以小见大

如果拟题过大，往往难以下笔。以“善待 ____”这一半命题作文为例，不少考生运用散文化的笔法，写《善待生活》《善待他人》《善待时间》《善待大自然》……显然，要在如此短的篇幅中，写深写透一个主题，写起来不易把握，更不易写出自己的真情实感。要想使文章有深刻的立意，最好采用以小见大的手法来写，这样才能使文章内容充实，主题深刻。如选取生活中你最为心动的一个场景、印象最深的一件事、最受感动的一个细节，用自我独特的情感体验，去表现最动人的情感，这样的文章更容易得高分。因此补题要避免雷同，要从小处切入，才能写得具体，写得生动。如以《善待地球》为题，可以选取有代表性的场景，抓住几个真实的、震撼人心的镜头，注意细节取胜，让人感受到地球被毁坏的惨状和大自然警钟长鸣的力量，挖掘出深刻的立意。

3.诗意命题，匠心独具

在生活中，每个人都会在不经意时错过一些美好的、珍贵的、受益的东西。它可能是一位好友，一段真情，一片风景，一个物件，或者是一句真诚的劝说，一次难得的机遇，一声礼貌的道谢……而这一切错失的背后，应该都有一段刻骨铭心的故事与非同寻常的意义。请将你的故事与感悟写出来与大家分享。请以 “曾经错过的____”为题，写一篇不少于600字的记叙文。

近几年来，诗意化的命题逐渐走进了中考作文，成为一道亮丽的风景，但也因此增加了审题和构思的难度。考生要将诗意化命题的象征义、比喻义、引申义挖掘出来，使作文立意深刻含蓄。如上述命题，大多数考生补题为：一段友情、一次机遇、一个道歉等。如此补题易于构思行文，但均出自提示语中。造成雷同，毫无特色。我们不妨展开想象，化实为虚，补出新意。在文题的横线上补上：一轮明月、一米阳光、那个季节、那缕芬芳、暗香盈袖的日子、梦想拔节的日子……这些文题新颖生动，既富有诗意，又蕴有理趣，能激发读者美好的遐想。

第二步：理清思路 立意出新

不难看出，半命题作文的立意，实际上往往与作者的补题构思同步进行。考场作文立意水平的高下决定着作文的成败，而立意水平的高下又取决于作者平时的生活积淀和感悟人生、提炼思想的水平。下面谈谈半命题作文立意的三点要求：

1.准确。准确是前提，立意不准，全盘皆输。求准，首先就是要准确理解文题中的关键词语：也有人称之为“题眼 ”“题魂”。立意前须把握题中已有的修饰或限制性词语，准确理解已给文字的含义十分重要。同时，半命题作文如果有引语，往往以精辟优美、寓意深刻、情感浓郁的语句导人作文情境，或阐释，或举例，或提示，往往有着激发写作情思、界定选材范围的作用。

2.新颖。即对题中已有概念的理解要避开一般层面而取题意允许的新层面。例如“拒绝____”一题，一般考生在横线上补充上“自卑”“儒弱” “平庸”“自我封闭”等宾语，构成动宾短语，这类文章都含有自我 审视和校正的色彩。有的考生却能避开这一般模式，机智地补出别具一格的题目，闪烁出与众不同的文学色彩、哲理色彩，如《拒绝再玩》《拒绝长大》《拒绝末日》等。在求新的同时，所补题目须利于我们选用自己熟悉的、有感情、有特色的题材，这样就能做到有材料可写，有情可抒发。

3.深刻。这不是指故作高深，而是指由表象进入本质，由感性进入理性。例如作文题“我多想____”，你若补“唱”，则文章未免肤浅;你若补 “飞”，这比“唱”可能要好一些，但也流于一般。其实所补写的内容可实可虚，可近可远，你只要大胆发挥想象，尽可以游览于草木山水之间，徜徉于琴棋书画之中，关键在于你是否有较为丰富深刻的人生思考。例如有位考生拟题《我多想把你留住》，作者从运河水当年的清澈、宁静写到现在的浑浊、喧嚣，写到了人对大自然的毁坏，也感悟到世态沧桑和“水如人生”的哲理，平中见奇，于一般中见深刻。

第三步：明确要求 写出特色

有的半命题作文前有引语，要谨慎审视，提取关键词语和切题联想。在文题的后面，往往都有一个“要求”，常对诸如写作范围、角度、文体、字数等方面作了一些限定。审这些要求的方法与全命题作文的相同，此不赘述。

导语：哗啦啦……这是什么的声音?没错，这是瀑布，它是那样的雄伟、雄壮，白色的布帘下是清澈的潭水。水花打在岩石上，在岩石上绽开，放射出异样光芒。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的描写瀑布的段落精选，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

1.清水从博格达峰飞泻而下，滚滚地流到天山脚下，大渠像一枝箭似的直射向大地。

2.那时崩渤大作，震耳欲聋，玉花飞溅，蒙目如眯，我全身濡湿，衣履俱透。原来我们正站在美国瀑布的下面。

3.在数里之外，就能听到轰轰隆隆的声响，似千军呐喊，似万马奔腾，远眺瀑布如白练倒挂，悬空坠落。

4.瀑布对岸高崖上的观瀑亭上有对联曰：“白水如棉不用弓弹花自散,虹霞似锦何须梭织天生成”,此乃是黄果树瀑布的真实写照。但黄果树瀑布的形态因季节而有变化，冬天水小时，它妩媚秀丽，轻轻下泻;到了夏秋，水量大增，那撼天动地的磅礴气势，简直令人惊心动魄。有时瀑布激起的雪沫烟雾,高达数百米，漫天浮游，竟使其周围经常处于纷飞的细雨之中。

5.只见一条粗数十围的大瀑布，像一条发怒的银龙，从半空中猛扑下来，直捣潭心，水声轰轰，激荡起阵阵狂风，喷迸出如雹的急雨。

6.在一片带有原始神秘色彩的山崖上悬挂着一匹银白色的飞瀑，争先恐后地直奔水渠。虽然只是一股小小的瀑布，可发出的声音也够震耳欲聋的了。

7.在“银河”中失散的水花，好像还不愿过早的溜走，他们像长了一双翅膀的小精灵，随风飘飞，漫天浮游，好一派壮丽的景象啊!水花儿玩累了，便主动打着降落伞飘下来了，落在“琴弦”上，奏出了悦耳动听的乐曲。我像漂浮在声浪中，每个细胞都充满了活力。游人被那乐声陶醉了，我的心也醉了。

8.眼前就是三叠泉瀑布，它像一条布带，从高达百米的山崖上落下;又好似青山爷爷的白胡须，又长又白;还像女孩儿的马尾巴辫，直直地垂下来。瀑布从高山上泻下来，激起一片水雾，朦朦胧胧之间，隐约看见青山与绿苔间夹杂着洁白的瀑布，耳边是那清脆的水流声，“哗啦啦”，“哗啦啦”，好像是水精灵在唱歌，我仿佛来到了仙境。

9.抬头望望，天空在瀑布的映衬下是那样的蓝，那么惬意、那么凉爽;白云在瀑布的映衬下是如此柔软，软绵绵的，就像洁白的棉花一般。这里的树也是那么青翠，在瀑布的映衬下，它是那么引人注目，如同碧绿的宝石，亮晶晶的。

10.瀑布从两山的苍松中倾泻下来，泻在岩石上，发出震耳的轰鸣。被砸碎的水，好似万串闪光的“珍珠”，“珍珠”互相撞击，化成水珠，水珠变成雾气，在山腰织出朵朵白云。我猛的想起李白的诗句来，飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。

11.凭栏眺望，但见巨瀑似布如帛，汹涌澎湃。瀑水由悬崖直泻牛潭中，气势磅礴。溅起的水珠高五六丈，闪银亮玉，极为壮观，仿佛那是无数晶莹透亮的珍珠在阳光下跳跃。顺着弯弯曲曲的石径，我门又来到峡谷底。从下往上看，瀑布就像一块巨大的白纱披在青山少女的肩上;又似老人白雪般的银发一落千丈。瀑布那强有力的节奏，如同一支交响在我耳边回荡。它的美是无法形容的，它是一颗未经雕琢的钻石，那样晶莹;那样纯朴。

12.历经千难万险终于到了，透过人喧马啸我听见了瀑布的哗哗声，仿佛是一个个醉酒的诗人在低空中吟诗，不停在山谷中回响。这‘哗哗’声渐近渐响，最后化作了阵阵震耳欲聋的轰鸣，恰似千万个侠客在地上吼叫，在谷底震荡着。那时候天总是很蓝，云总是很白，我平坐在岩石上，一丝凉意迎面而来，沁人心脾，我任这些水珠扑打在我火红的脸上，沾湿我的薄衣裳，因为它们为我洗去了烦恼，给我带来了一身的舒畅。

13.来到瀑布下，可以看到瀑布好似一条白龙，发出震耳欲聋的吼声。瀑布流下的水，在阳光的照耀下好像是颗颗闪亮的珍珠，在瀑布下方汇成了一个潭，满出的水欢快地向远处流去。如烟如雾的水丝飘在我的脸上，脖子里，凉丝丝的舒服极了。

14.黄果树瀑布河水从断崖顶端凌空飞流而下，瀑布对岸高崖上的观瀑亭上有对联曰：“白水如棉不用弓弹花自散，虹霞似锦何须梭织天生成”，此乃是黄果树瀑布的真实写照。但黄果树瀑布的形态因季节而有变化，冬天水小时，它妩媚秀丽，轻轻下泻;到了夏秋，水量大增，那撼天动地的磅礴气势，简直令人惊心动魄。有时瀑布激起的雪沫烟雾，高达数百米，漫天浮游，竟使其周围经常处于纷飞的细雨之中。

15.黄果树瀑布高达67米，顶宽84米，雄伟壮观，被喻为“神州第一瀑”。我们走下观瀑台，来到犀牛潭边想更清晰地观赏瀑布。抬头，只见汹涌直泻的水向下扑来，水花翻滚着，越滚越快，越滚越猛。最上面还像迭落的平滑水层，落到下面来已宛如雪白的玉带，再向下冲，猛然间已变成了爆破的冰山、倾倒的雪峰，崩塌而下，直冲犀牛谭。那瀑水冲击的轰然巨响，犹如万马奔腾，气势磅礴，真是“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”啊!瀑布溅起的水雾约有五六丈高，雾腾腾的水带着潮湿的清新，飘过对面的山峰，洒落在游人身上，顿时，一股清爽的感觉冲上心头，好舒服啊!太阳从云层露出来，阳光折射到水雾上，刹那间，一道绚丽的彩虹挂在了雪白的瀑布前，让人感到美不胜收，仿佛身处仙境之中。

16.哗啦啦……这是什么的声音?没错，这是瀑布，它是那样的雄伟、雄壮，白色的布帘下是清澈的潭水。水花打在岩石上，在岩石上绽开，放射出异样光芒。在阳光的照耀下，那飞起的水珠，如同透明的水晶，在人们的眼中是那么清澈、那么晶莹，没有一点杂物。

17.哗啦啦……那是什么的声音?的确，那是瀑布，那是数万滴水珠一齐落下而形成的。不管它们是击在水里还是打在石上，都是那么勇敢。人生如此，只有你去拼，只有像水珠那样从千百米高的山上纵身跳下，才能体会到在岩石上绽开之后的快乐和美丽，才能像水晶一样放射出光芒。

18.当我们穿过了一条长长的山间过道后，眼前豁然开朗，耳际轰然而鸣。只见蜿蜒小溪流经身旁，而其源头便是吼声的“作者”。一幅巨大的水幕呈现在我们面前。水流拍打着岸石，发出巨响，在飞溅出的水花有瞬间变成袅袅的白烟，即而挥散，周而复始。我从未见过如此壮观的景象，我和小娟都惊讶的目瞪口呆。它，是那么的震撼人心，是那么的惊天动地，在赞叹大自然的同时，又不免觉得人类的渺小。

19.大瀑布半腰有一个长约一百三十米的水帘洞，横穿而过，置身其间，万倾瀑水从头顶轰鸣而下，惊心动魄。见到此情此景我觉得仿佛来到了孙悟空的花果山一样，真是天地造化，使这里如同仙境一般。

20.不知不觉中，我们来到了瀑布的脚下。凉丝丝的水花像一个个顽皮的孩子，在落到水面时还在蹦跳着，好像在欢呼自己的愉快。抬头望去，一匹长长的绸带正从悬壁上源源不断的扑了下来，像一头头小狮子，令人又惊又喜。

21.水流虽然比起上游来已经从群山之中解放了，但依然相当湍急，因此颇有放纵不羁之概，河面相当辽阔，每每有大小的洲屿，戴着新生的杂木。春夏虽然青翠，入了冬季便成为疏落的寒林。水色，除夏季洪水期呈出红色之外，是浓厚的天青。远近的滩声不断地唱和着。

22.风景区内瀑布成群，洞穴成串，峰峦叠翠，植被奇特，伏流、溶洞、石林、石壁、峡谷比比皆是，呈现出层次丰富的喀斯特山水旖旎风光。黄果树瀑布河水从断崖顶端凌空飞流而下，瀑布对岸高崖上的观瀑亭上有对联曰：“白水如棉不用弓弹花自散,虹霞似锦何须梭织天生成”,此乃是黄果树瀑布的真实写照。但黄果树瀑布的形态因季节而有变化，冬天水小时，它妩媚秀丽，轻轻下泻;到了夏秋，水量大增，那撼天动地的磅礴气势，简直令人惊心动魄。
