Ancient Chinese New Years day, is not a general "Gregorian calendar" -- the Gregorian calendar on January 1. From Yin dynasty set as the beginning, at the beginning of the lunar December in first lunar month as the beginning, to the han dynasty have been repeated many times of change. To the republic of China, sun yat-sen in nanjing in early January 1912 as the temporary President for "farming", "statistics", set the first lunar month as the Spring Festival, change to the Gregorian calendar on January 1, known as the "New Year", at but it is still called "New Years day". Until the liberation of the central peoples government promulgated uniform "whole nation year section and the memorial day holiday", the Gregorian calendar January 1 as New Years day, and decided the national in this stanza day off. At the same time as the difference between two New Year the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, and in view of the lunar 24 solar terms of "spring", just before and after the lunar New Year, so the change of the first lunar month is called "Spring Festival".

"New Years day", "yuan" refers to the beginning, is the first point, the beginning of every number is called "yuan"; "Dan", pictographs, the above ", "on behalf of the sun, the" a "represents the horizon below. "Denier" as the sun rises from the horizon, symbolizes the beginning of a day. People put the "yuan" and "denier" two words together, is extended to the first day of the New Year began. New Years day is also called the "three yuan", namely, the yuan, the yuan, at the time of yuan. On New Years earliest begins with three sovereigns, tang fang xuanling and others write the Book of Jin upload: "xu emperor for Meng Chun in yuan, at that time is: New Years day in the spring." That call on the yuan, the first for the denier. Southern liang people LanZiYun dielectric jas poem or cloud: "the new New Years day, four gas Wan Shouchu today."

古代中国的元旦日,并非如今通用的“格列历”——公历的1月1日。从殷代定农历十二月初一为岁首,到汉代定在农历正月初一为岁首,曾有多次反反复复的改变。到民国时孙中山于1912年1月初在南京就任临时大总统时为“顺农时”、“便统计”,定农历正月初一为春节,改公历1月1日称为岁首“新年”,但仍称“元旦”。直到解放后中央人民政府颁布统一使用“全国年节和纪念日放假办法”,将公历1月1日规定为元旦节,并决定全国在此节放假一天。同时为区别农历和公历两个新年,又鉴于农历二十四个节气中的“立春”,恰在农历新年前后,因此改农历正月初一称为“春节”。

“元旦”的“元”,指开始,是第一的意思,凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”,象形字,上面的“日”代表太阳,下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上冉冉升起,象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来,就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”,即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝,唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元,其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元,初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦,万寿初今朝。”

三点关键定档因素(不跑题是前提)

词汇多样性

语法复杂性

文章连贯性

书面表达的五项秘诀:

审题,遣词,造句,润色,谋篇

既然知道了这些关键因素和高分秘诀,我们要如何从这些方面入手呢审题的概念

拿到试卷后,首先浏览书面表达的题目,研究题目要求。正确的审题内容包括A、审标题B、审体裁C、审要点。审标题:看文章是否要求有题目(title)或者主题(topic)能够确保你不跑题;审体裁:确能够定文章的文体,为你写作提供方向。审要点:如果英语作文中,有要求要点的,一般打分时是踩点给分的,准确把握住要点,是高分的一个诀窍。

如何审要点要做到以下两个方面:

总结归纳要点:不是所有内容都要写出来,而是抓住其中的关键要点、衔接要点!

理顺要点:将提炼的要点按逻辑关系(如时间关系、因果关系、转折关系等)重新安排,这样整篇文章看起来就整体有序,流畅自然,更加容易打动评分老师,从而作文分数提升一档。

构思文章提纲:根据题目的要点,安排好段落和主次关系。要形成良好的分段意识,写作分段是必须要进行的(2至4段为佳),这样显得文章不会拥挤并且层次分明。在行文意识上,要注意突出要点。

遣词的注意点

词语和短语搭配

适度使用加分词汇

避免词语重复

注意词语和短语搭配使用

可以适度的使用加分词句:高级词、同义词、短语等替代

造句的原则

表达意思要清楚无误。

多种表达方式表达相同含义

避免句式单调(简单句,并列句,复合句等适度调整)

表达意思清楚无误:具体化,细节化

可以用形象思维来表达(什么叫形象思维比如说你朗读的“很好听”,用“抑扬顿挫”来表达就是形象思维)

谋篇的攻略

注意分段、详略搭配、注意连贯

行文时多用关联词、引导词,把文章句子通过各种关系整合起来,达到起承转合,运用自如的目的,从而获取高分。

具体的连接关系有:并列关系、递进关系、因果关系、转折关系、让步关系、列举关系、条件关系、举例关系、时间关系等。

篇3:高考英语记叙文的写作基础

全文共 806 字

+ 加入清单

纵观历年的高考书面表达,其文体题材各异,有书信、口头通知、简介、日记、自我介绍、记叙文、描写文、说明文、看图作文等,不同的体裁需要考生应用适当的篇章结构,将题目所提供的信息清晰、明了、准确,逻辑合理地表达出来。

篇章结构在语言表达中起着非常重要的作用,同样的信息点会因为不同的表达顺序传达出不同的信息。层次分明,逻辑合理的篇章结构会让读者在很短的时间内获得并准确理解题目所规定的信息;而叙述顺序混乱,前言不搭后语的篇章则让人一头雾水,不知所云何物。当然,后者是失败的表达,即使作者在写作的过程中使用了再漂亮的词汇和句型,混乱的文章结构也不会让读者准确领悟作者的意图。

记叙文主要是记叙所发生的事情和经历。常见的形式有:故事、日记、新闻报道、游记等。

记叙文的写作要素:

1 要交待清楚五要素的内容,即where, when, what, who ,how,给读者一个内容完整、细节清晰的故事。

2. 事情的叙述可以按时间或空间的顺序叙述,让读者易于把握所叙述内容之间的内在关联,从而理解文章主题。

3. 时态通常使用与过去有关的时态,如一般过去时。

记叙文的篇章结构:

开头 the beginning——交待必要的背景。如:时间、地点、人物等。

中间 the middle——交待故事情节(事情的主体)。如:事件的发生、发展和前因后果。(可以使用表示时间或空间的连接词,使文章连贯。 如:at first…then…few minutes later…)

结尾 the ending——事情的结果或感想、愿望等。(所表达的感想或愿望应与所记叙的内容有关系,起到扣题或点题的作用,使文章结构紧凑)。

例如NEMT2000

假设你是李华,正在美国探亲。2000年2月8日清晨,你目击了一起交通事故。警察局让你写一份材料,报告当时的所见情况。请根据下列图画写出报告。

注意:1. 目击者应该准确报告事实

2. 词数100左右

3. 结尾已为你写好

篇4:2024届高考高效作文训练题目

全文共 5300 字

+ 加入清单

一、考情分析

话题作文已经“死”了,不能复生;命题作文垂垂老矣,风光不再;材料作文葳蕤生猛,雄姿英发。纯正的命题作文不断出现各地考卷,但也还是附有材料加以限制。

二、考点点睛

各地高考,材料作文将仍唱主角,命题应该还是配角,但二者有逐渐融合的趋势。材料加命题的形式将可能得到进一步推广。就选择文体来说,侧重于议论文,据统计,每年相似,仍然是议论文“一统天下”,达86%左右,散文占9%左右,记叙文仅占5%左右。

①标题制作:切合题目,不偏不倚,尽量嵌入题中关键词,使标题形成一个鲜明的意向,使人有一个整体的把握;扬己之长,选定文体,注意标题的文体特征,使标题突出文体本身的鲜明个性,不至于“四不象”;酝酿意象,妙用修辞,给人以诗意盎然、文采斐然的审美快感。

②议论文出彩的“重型武器”:用综合修辞开头,立论先声夺人,题旨鲜明;用综合辞论证,论据无庸置疑,雄辩有力,大量运用了对偶、比喻、排比、引用、反复等修辞手法,长短句、骈散句交相映照,音节铿锵,气象开阔,令人激情飞扬,就这么“一点浩然气”,却能使人享受到“快哉千里风”;结束语以一组含有反复的排比句再次重申观点,旗帜鲜明,思想冷静,目光敏锐,见解独到,成熟的论辩之中可品味到一丝丝纯正的讽喻。以此攻“城”,何“城”不克!

③在凝炼叙例中融入丰厚底蕴,在理性思辩中高扬人文精神,在遣词造句中加大修辞力度,在行文布局中构建逻辑别墅,在借用名著中散发经典醇香,在引用名句中闪耀哲理光华。

④应试作文就是“拼盘”,全在于记忆、联想、粘贴和转化(为我所用)。材料是寓言类、箴言类的应试作文最宜用“拼盘”,多背高考满分作文能取得成效。但是,如果是时事类、感悟类的材料就很难拼盘,必须要靠真才实学,切不能以“拼盘”打天下。作文题如果不能与自己的背诵积累近似,切不可拼盘,还不如“我手写我心”,按自己的路子去写,即使文采不够,能做到言从字顺、逻辑清晰,就可以得到一个较高的分数。

⑤审题立意时,侧重于其中之一:价值观、人生观、历史观、科技观、世界观。

三、应考策略

①读《散文选刊》获纯正优美的文体写作风格。②读《杂文选刊》知当代的百态世相和人文情怀,掌握正确抨击时弊的技法。③读《创新作文》《作文通讯》,看老师的评述,看同辈的作文,了解当下命题的趋向和应试技艺。④从以上提到的杂志中找出你最为欣赏的二十篇文章熟读,烂熟于心就能下笔如有神,笔落惊风雨。⑤着重训练记叙文和议论文。在训练时,多用这两种文体写同一个题目,尤其注重议论文的训练(作文能力差的考生,可背诵一些“万能开头、结尾”,论据可以记忆各年度“感动中国”人物事迹与颁奖词,相机依题旨拼盘。当然,这种技法不能“通吃”天下,因此平时不可轻视作文,切不可孤注一掷)。

四、文体导写

1、“时评”写作指导及示例

【考题】:

故里,即“旧时的门巷故居”,亦作“故乡、老家”解。我国历史悠久,名人辈出,若干年后,斯人已去,有些史实模糊不清。但因其故里蕴含的历史人文价值,自然就引起了后人的纷争。

目前,“曹雪芹故里”被四地争夺,分别是:河北唐山丰润、辽宁辽阳、辽宁铁岭解和江西南昌武阳。因各地资源投入和声势都很浩大,堪称中国名人故里争夺“第一战”。

所谓“曹雪芹故里”之战,并非是在争夺曹雪芹本人的出生地,而是曹雪芹五辈先祖宋代人曹世远(据说为宋代名门望族)的祖籍地。众所周知,曹雪芹的出生地就是清代的江宁——现在的南京。

对此,社会舆论发出各自不同的声音,归纳起来有这么三种态度:褒扬、贬抑、折中。,

你的态度是哪一种?请说出自己独到的见解,写一篇800字以上的文章。

1、必须写议论文。2、题目自拟。 3、立意自定。4所写内容必须与给定的材料相合。5、不得抄袭、套作。

写作指导:

新材料作文,仍然需要考生密切关注时事热点,关注现实社会。当然不会是国际、国内的重大新闻热点,而是那些所谓的“软文化”即那些能体现精神、心灵层面的内容,或那些能体现情感、态度、价值观的素材,能具有“仁者见仁,智者见智”的言说功能的事件。“曹雪芹故里之争”,这是高中生有能力言说的新闻事件。

名人故里之争由来已久。湖北襄樊与河南南阳争过诸葛亮躬耕之地,宁夏和甘肃争过中华针灸鼻祖皇甫谧的归属地,辽阳和铁岭争过《红楼梦》作者曹雪芹的祖籍,河南卢邑和安徽涡阳争过老子故里,还有“七仙女下凡地之争”、“愚公移山地之争”,西施、花木兰故里之争,甚至金瓶梅、花果山、孙悟空的归属也争得不亦乐乎。江苏赣榆和山东龙口两地为争徐福故里尚没偃旗息鼓,山西长子县和临汾两地又为尧帝故里争得不可开交

对此,我提供这么六种写作角度以供大家参考:

一、褒扬的观点。1、“曹雪芹故里之争”会加快对关于曹雪芹历史资料的研究和挖掘速度,更好传承《红楼梦》文化,弘扬中国文化。2、在尊重历史的前提下,辨明出处,积极开发此类宝贵的文化资源对于弘扬历史文明,对振奋民众精神而言,是一件功德无量的事。

二、贬抑的观点。1、“曹雪芹故里之争”是“红学”之耻。2、此类为了地方利益诉求,而不惜一切精神与经济代价争贴名人标签,不仅是对学术研究的庸俗化,更是对历史的亵渎与伤害。

三、折中的观点。1、文化遗产都应由整个中华民族全体共享、共同呵护。因此,相比“口舌之争”,我们更应该去做的是继承和发扬历史名人思想的精髓。2、历史名人作为一种重要的文化遗产和文化资源,适当打打“名人牌”,发挥一下“名人效应”,无可厚非。然而,历史名人不是“摇钱树”,更不是“救命稻草”。等等。

当然,你也可以不同的观点。观点本身并没有对任何一方特别有利或者有弊,因考题在文字呈现上是非常平衡的,可以称得上是“零度叙述”。因此,你不必花大力气去猜测命题人的观点,只要勇于写出自己的观点并将之周全就行了。要知道:“江河之水非一源之水也,千镒之裘非一狐之白也。”(《墨子·亲士》)一篇好的时评一定是有欣赏价值、能给人以启迪的佳作,故一定具有缜密的逻辑设计、较高的 书面表达能力。

我觉得要真正写好时评,还得到古代政论文名家那里去获取智慧,比如,课文里苏洵的《六国论》。《六国论》在论证的严密性、语言的生动性上也堪称典范。第一段的逻辑性是非常严密的。作者开篇亮出观点:“六国破灭,非兵不利,战不善,弊在赂秦。”开宗明义,直截了当,使读者一眼就抓住了论者的中心。然后,作者解释论点:“赂秦而力亏,破灭之道也。”这就指出了贿赂的危害,言简意赅,要言不烦。再后,作者设问:“六国互丧,率赂秦耶?”答曰:“不赂者以赂者丧。盖失强援,不能独完。”这就使得文章逻辑严密,无懈可击。最后一句总结全段:“故曰弊在赂秦也。”这一段起到了“纲”的作用,后面的二、三两段实际上是围绕第一段展开的。本文的语言生动有力。议论性的句子简捷有力,叙述性的句子生动感人。比如:“思厥先祖父,暴霜露,斩荆棘,以有尺寸之地。子孙视之不甚惜,举以予人,如弃草芥。今日割五城,明日割十城,然后得一夕安寝。起视四境,而秦兵又至矣。”这些叙述语言本身带有主观感情,还有描述的特点。作者还运用引用、对比、比喻等手法,使语言灵活多样,增强了表达效果。本文的句式也整饬有度,特别是四字句占了一定比例,读起来铿锵有力,掷地有声,富有节奏感。

“苏文熟,吃羊肉;苏文生,吃菜羹。”宋代的士子们只要按照苏文体例、文风,往往功名顺畅,自有羊肉可吃;反之,只有“吃菜羹”的份了。这一句古语,对我们的应试作文仍然具有启迪意义。

佳作选辑1

莫为经济遮望眼

《红楼梦》——经典中的经典,曹雪芹——名人中的名人,然而现在却被贴上了商业的标签。惜耶?叹耶?悲耶?愤耶?

近年来,神州大地争夺“名人故里”的“战争”烽火连天,狼烟弥漫。不久,河北唐山丰润、辽宁辽阳、辽宁铁岭解和江西南昌武阳又爆发了一场“曹雪芹五辈先祖宋代人曹世远故里”争夺战,让人跌破眼镜。曹世远是谁?恐怕曹雪芹也不知他是自己的先祖,如今却被红学家“挖掘”出来了,并随之给他披上了贴着“红楼梦”品牌的经济外衣。想必曹世远地下有知,都会觉得滑天下之大稽,进而嗤之以鼻。

想当年,曹雪芹举家食粥,寂寞凄凉,而现在,“故里”四起,红楼何在?魂归何处?鸿文何其深也,历史何其长也。一城,一梦,一记,闪耀永恒光芒。一人,一忧,一悲,流尽无限辛酸。国人无不味其隽永,无不伤其情怀。但诸君试看今朝:仿造红楼纷起,砌的是民脂民膏,此楼能固乎?斥之,无语;痛之,无言。怎可为一锱一铢之利,亵渎经典?怎可为一时一地之经济,沾染名人?恨哪,痛啊,中国“名人故里第一战”,损毁的是文学的丰碑,玷污的是女娲的“石头”。

我们该拿什么来拯 救经济涡流中的文化?

放眼当下,争夺“名人”的热潮是一浪高于一浪,安陆与江油争夺李白,河南永城与安徽毫州拉扯华佗,江苏盱眙与安徽凤阳疯抢“明太祖”,儒雅的孔子则走上了彩票……刹那间,好像古代的名人都成了无价之宝。各地为了争夺市场,乱打文化牌,美其名曰:“文化搭台,经济唱戏。”于是,,一位古人就有了多处“诞生地”,且皆为“正宗”。这些,早就超过了正常的学术之争。无论怎么看,看到的都是一场场闹剧。战火蔓延之处,文化百花凋落;口舌讨伐之地,文化成为焦土。耻辱啊,莫大的耻辱!

让我们再一次审视“曹雪芹故里之争”,此纷争,实际上充斥着太浓的物质铜臭,与“红楼梦”何干?如此争夺“文化”,是文化的堕落,表面上是“弘扬”,实际上是折腾与糟蹋。

西谚云:“凯撒的归凯撒,耶稣的归耶稣。”让经济繁荣经济,让名人回归经典吧!如果把名人的头像都贴上经济的商标,那么文化之鹏鸟就像戴上了黄金脚链,必然不能高翔,最终必将坠落在滚滚红尘之中!

佳作选辑2

还“红学”一方明丽的天空

当汽笛声轻易地盖过鸟雀的吟唱,当桌上翻飞的报纸里仍喧腾着昨日的硝烟,当电脑的荧光闪烁成客厅的第一抹阳光;当追名逐利成为今日的主修课程……当这一切都成为平常的生活,我们渴求一方古韵轻舞飞扬的晴空。

21世纪,在中国经济飞速发展的同时,中国古典文化的那种情韵却涂抹上了金钱的色彩。现在,我们常常在人造的假古董——“名人故里”中看不到我们的古韵中国:血液里那一种温暖,情怀中那一分清幽,笑靥里那一春秀色,回眸处那一派风景 ……。河北唐山丰润、辽宁辽阳、辽宁铁岭解和江西南昌武都没有留下清代著名小说家曹雪芹的一印屐痕,《红楼梦》里也没有一字提及这么四个突然冒出的“故里”,但是这四个“故里”却如此亢奋抢夺“游子”曹雪芹,仿佛是找到了失散多年且发了大财的父亲。穷儿子可孝顺啦,为曹雪芹辟“红楼梦广场”,酿“曹雪芹家酒”,建“雪芹商业街”,开“红楼主题酒店”,修“红楼休闲山庄”……真可谓“如火如荼、可歌可泣”。更让人“拍案叫绝”的是, “红学”研究骤然升温,声势浩大——“百花齐放,百家争鸣”了,这是一种好现象吗?今天争“曹雪芹宋代先祖故里”,明天争“曹雪芹唐代先祖故里”,后天争“曹雪芹汉代先祖故里”,后后天争“曹雪芹周朝先祖故里”……如此闹下去,有“曹”的地方都会有曹雪芹的“故里”,这不纯粹是出演闹剧吗?我想,曹雪芹地下有知,也会叹息一声:“呜呼哀哉!”

“红学”,是多么纯粹的一门学术。林妹妹、贾宝玉、薛宝钗……一个个呼之欲出的人物让人惊叹不已,所以“红学”研究者是应该倍感自豪的,因为他们在悄然引渡着中国文化前进的方向,让人们知道“红学”,了解“红学”。但现在,有些文人或学者竟然超越学术范畴,为地方也为自己谋取私利,这是“红学”之耻,因为他们使学术庸俗化,违背了它本身的纯正性。

中华民族五千年来的文化博大精深,源远流长,孕育了《红楼梦》这朵奇葩。它是我们整个民族共同的骄傲,而不能成为某人、某地炫耀并牟利的手段。《红楼梦》是母亲,不是奶牛;曹雪芹是“石头”,不是泥巴。搞活经济靠活人,不是靠作古的名人。其实,不贴名人标签又何妨呢?地区的发展是多元化的,通往罗马的路不只是一条。

路很宽,地很大,万物向荣,春风和畅,我希望春风能吹散那几朵浮云,归还人们头顶上湛蓝明丽的天空。让曹雪芹的精神为我们的骨头注入钙质,不再折腰,不再贫血,“曹雪芹故里”就在中华文化的沃土里,就在你我的心灵里。

评点:

现代社会在给我们带来丰富的物质财富的同时,也让我们失去了不少“古韵”。而“红楼梦广场”“曹雪芹家酒”“雪芹商业街”“红楼主题酒店”“红楼休闲山庄”……都是经济衍生的“古韵”——假古董。一些人穿着“红楼”的文化衫,打着“红楼”的名号,四处兜售着“红楼”的赝品。本文以一种冷色调的语言对这种经济现象进行了揶揄,有时让人在心里发出苦笑,但并没有让人感到无奈、绝望,因为还有一种暖色调的哲思给人增添了力量,让人对明天有了新的希望。

在刚刚结束的冬奥运动会上,孙琳琳被淘汰、王濛被判罚犯规出局,女子短道速滑1500米决赛中国队只剩下周洋一人。绝对的孤军奋战,周洋身旁站着的是三位韩国名将,还有四名强劲对手的夹击,但笑傲群雄的是周洋。她勇夺冠军。当记者让发表获奖感言时,她表示应该“感谢父母”。然而,体育局的于副局长对周洋的获奖感言提出批评,强调“必须先感谢国家,然后才能感谢父母,顺序不能变”。此言一出,舆论哗然,并迅速形成“挺周派”“挺于派”……

篇5:2024高考英语作文高分技巧介绍

全文共 1159 字

+ 加入清单

以下是由语文迷网小精心整理提供的关于高考英语写作技巧,一起来看看吧。

一、要善于模仿

一些同学的办法往往是背一堆范文,然后再到考场上进行一个“剪切”、“粘贴”的工作,真正的模仿重点永远要放在一定的句式结构上,而非个别的词汇。有一个句式说:“…for the simple reason that…”表示某种现象的原因是什么,用在高考(课程)写作中,我们就可以拿来解释为什么自行车在中国如此的流行:“The bicycle is very popular in China for the simple reason that…”。然而,很多同学一谈到原因仍然是“…because…”。如果要表示“总是能够”的概念,很多同学提笔就会写can always,但理想的句子应该是用双重否定表示强烈的肯定,用never fail to。

二、要灵活变通

在批改过上万份同学们英语(课程)作文中,经常能发现一些将中文生硬地翻译成英文的表达法。有一句话叫做“立志如山,行道如水”,写英文作文,一定要有决心把它写好,有信心把意思表达清楚,这是“立志如山”;但关键是遇到问题时要有个灵活的态度,能像流水一样变通解决问题。有个翻译界的故事说:在某大型国际会议的招待会上,一道菜是用鸡蛋做的。与会的客人问翻译:“What is it made of”本来是非常简单的一个问题,结果翻译太紧张,忘了“egg”这个词,但是他急中生智,回答:“It is made of Miss Hen’s son.”这里,就是一个灵活变通的范例。绕道表达,是写作中应该常常运用的一种方法。

三、要细心观察

注意英语中一些表达上的习惯。比如在正式文体的写作中,很少用 “it isn’t”这样的略缩形式,而往往是一板一眼地写作 “it is not”。同理,在正式文体中的日期一般不缩写,阿拉伯数字一般会用英文表达(特别长的数字除外)。

许多同学在写作文时,习惯于把 “since” “because” “for”这样的词放在句首引导原因状语从句。事实上,在我们见到的英语报刊杂志文章中,这样的从句一般都是放在主句之后的。另外, “and”也常常被误放在一句话的开头,表示两个句子之间的并列或递进关系。其实,经常留心地道的英语文章能发现,如果是并列关系,完全可以不用连词;如果是递进关系,用 “furthermore” “what is more”更为普遍。

四、要心有全局

英文写作如果结构意识良好,应试写作就简化成为一个填空的过程了,适当地填入观点、素材,文章就自然而然立起来了。

临考在即,同学们要牢记英语写作的基本要领,特编顺口溜如下:细审题,巧构思,列要点,防遗漏。写日记,同汉语;书信,通知格式要牢记。看清图表细梳理,写人记事按顺序;完稿后查遗漏,整洁干净莫忘记。

篇6:高考英语满分作文:母亲的眼睛

+ 加入清单

(Mothers Eyes)

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes alwaysgave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。那双眼睛能洞察我的心情,给我鼓励,促我坚强,因此我能面对一切困难。

孩提学步时,妈妈总是帮助我,鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来。最后我晃晃悠悠地扑进她怀抱时,她的双眼充满了赞扬之情。成长过程中,我遇到了很多困难,但灰心失望时,妈妈的双眼总给我以希望和鼓励。一次我考试不及格,妈妈没有责备我,而是鼓励我找出原因,提高我的成绩。最后我终于度过了难关。现在,我长大了,不用再让她操心了。但每当遇到挫折时,妈妈的眼睛总是伴随着我,给我鼓励。

篇7:2024年6月高考英语写作技巧集锦

全文共 1268 字

+ 加入清单

一、积累固定搭配,避免中式英文

高考中,很多考生写作文时都是要先想好中文内容再来翻译成英文。这看起来并没有什么不对的地方,因为一般考生的水平都达不到直接用英文来思考的程度。但差别在于英文很好的人在整体构思自己的作文时可能会用汉语,但是写作时完全的英语写作并不会存在什么障碍;只有英语水平一般的人才会将每句的意思大致用汉语想好,但写作时还是要用英文的习惯句型和固定搭配来表达,有时甚至没办法流畅的翻译出自己想的内容,再者也存在一个单词一个单词累积拼凑句子的情况 ,这就是我们常说的中式英语;之所以会这样,主要原因还是在于考生自身积累的英语习惯句型和固定搭配太少了,所以考生平时要注意积累考试常用的句型和语法基础知识,这些内容并不是太多,只要用心总结,需要很少一部分时间就能掌握的很好。

二、模糊叙述,避免不确定词汇

英语考试写作中经常遇到的一个问题就是不确定的词汇,想要描述一个事物,但是那个单词始终想不起来,这是每个考生都会遇到的问题,不论你的词汇量有多丰富,总会有你不认识的词汇出现。那么这时在考场上,我们该如何应对呢?首先我们应该想到的是找一个类似的词来代替它,也就是模糊化即用同义词表达。其次,我们可以用一句完整的话来描述出来它,对其加以解释说明。再次,如果我们实在描述不了也替代不了,那么我们还可以把一些解释不清的东西略去不写。只写那些自己会写的,避开那些自己不会写的。扬长避短,在写作中才能避开容易犯的错误而得到高分。

三、基础不过硬,少用复杂句

不少考生在考试中喜欢用很长很复杂的句式来填充自己的作文,对于英语语法熟练的考生来说这很随意,但是英语水平不过硬的考生最好不要过多地运用复杂句、长难句,因为考试作文是检验一个考生写作水平的工具,命题人虽然会以复杂句来判断考生的英语水平,但是复杂句也表示它容易出错的几率要高很多。因此,在考试中虽然我们要写复杂句但是注意不能写太多这样的句子,考试作文的句子要长短结合。基础不好的考生避免运用长难句,这样自己出错扣分的概率也小很多。

四、认真审题,思考作文分支观点

很多考生在拿到考试作文题时第一感觉是这个作文自己有话说,并且知道应该说什么,但是认真开始提笔时却往往不知道从何写起,之所以会这样是因为考生对作文的审题和观点把握并不清晰,此时考生应该先审题;其次思考简单的分支观点并且考虑可以采用的哪些简单而又成熟的句型。近几年的四级或六级题目大多都会给出提纲,一般提纲中都会包含考生需要的中心句,围绕这个中心句,考生可以考虑自己的文章结构。对于分支观点这方面,考生要尽量量力而行,不要思考太深的观点,要结合自己语言表达的能力而定。

五、重点研究近几年真题作文,掌握固定结构

准备作文的时候背诵真题作文是不可避免的,但是四六级作文真题范文数量太多,有些历时已经有些久远,参考的价值并不是很大,而要把这些都背下来似乎也不太可能,所以考生要把注意力放在近几年的作文范文上,在复习时间不太充裕的时候,并不需要整篇全部背诵,主要是学习范文的行文结构,熟悉适合自己的固定句型,这样大家背诵范文的目的就已经达到了。

Travel is a very good means of broadening a persons perspective.

Travel may relieve a person of boredom and gloom.

Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages.

范文

Travel is a very good means of broadening a persons perspective. It makes you come into contact with different cultures, meet people of different colors and go through peculiar rites and ceremonies. Travelling much, you will not only eich your knowledge and experiences, but also be aware of the vastness of nature.

Travel may also relieve person of boredom and gloom. Travel brings you enjoyment and attraction. It gives you a pleasant experience, which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you. Travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories. Later,you may go over these memories and enjoy your past experiences, thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind.

整理

The field is his study, nature was his book. Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive, but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle, which although slow,can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.

关于旅游的英语作文

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the“seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magical” ice water on a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

Tourism has enjoyed sex. Tourism in order to escape from real life stress, relax, feel differently through the journey, different experiences, the pursuit of joy to experience. Tourist enjoying enjoyment of the physiology of the body, or it can be free of emotion and imagination. Tourism is enjoying nature and allows people to really integrate into the grounds, enjoy a very enjoyable trip.

旅游具有享受性。旅游是人们为了逃离现实生活工作的压力、自我放松,通过旅途中不同的感受,不同的经历,追求愉悦身心的体验。旅游的享受性既可是身体的生理的享受,也可以是情感的无拘无束,充满想象。因此旅游是具有享受性的,让人们真正融入到旅途中,享受旅途快乐。

旅游的意义在于有所发现,然后提升自我。

Travel is all about discovery and self. Yudan, famous scholars, Professor of Beijing Normal University

The teachers words made me realize that tourism is not the meaning of travel thousands of miles, but from thousands of miles were found journey. Road, we encountered a situation is uncertain, constantly changing environment can sometimes give us surprises, and more is let us start thinking experiences that are already starting to rediscover yourself. When we swim in tourist destinations, as well as the native way of life when it is hard to fit into their lives, then let us have more opportunity to quietly reflect on our old life, or even think about life.

Tourists wandering in different landscapes, different ways of life,between different cultures, there will always be people emotions occur collisions, human heart incline quiet, wide, clear thoughts, find something that usually wouldnt find out. Come tour these feeling are incredible, it often is our own, to a deeper understanding of life and feeling, the point of which is tourism

于老师的这段话让我认识到,旅游的意义不是踏遍千山万水,而是从千山万水的旅途中有所发现。旅途中我们所遇到的情况都是不确定的,在不断变化的环境中有时会给我们惊喜,而更多的则是让我们从已有的经历中开始重新认识思考自己。当我们穿梭在旅游地以及当地人的生活方式中时,我们很难融入进他们的生活,则让我们有更多机会去静静思考我们原有的生活,甚至思考生命。

旅游者游走在不同的景观,不同的生活方式,不同的文化背景之间,总会让人的情感心灵发生碰撞,让人的心倾刻宁静、胸怀广阔、思绪明朗,发现平时所发现不了的东西。旅游中得来的这些感悟是难能可贵的,它常常是我们对自己、对生命更深层次的理解与感悟,这也正是旅游的意义所在 Everyone has a different definition of travel, some people only think of travel as a way of relaxing, while others travel as a learning, they need to be alone on the roads, one free lessons of travel are nutrients for their growth helped.

每个人对旅行的定义都不同,有些人仅仅把旅行当作放松的一种方式, 而有些人把旅行当作一种学习,他们需要孤身上路,一个人随心所欲的汲取旅行中得到的养分,为自己成长助益。

Someone said, "life is just a journey, traveling is the taste of a different life." Travel, is to leave the familiar place, then dont return. Travel, is to return to the starting place and know it again.

Travel is a point on the map, leaving their footprints, then slowly and taste memories. Travel is to experience a variety of geography and culture, there has a different way of life,

has a different kind of life posed by the varied cultural polymorphism.

有人说“人生其实就是一场旅行,旅行就是体味不同的人生”。

旅行,就是离开生活熟悉的地方,然后不一样的归来。旅行,就是重新回到出发的地方,并重新认识它。

旅行,就是在地图上的一个点,留下自己的脚印,然后慢慢回忆和品味。旅行,就是体验不同的地理和文化,那里有着别样的生存

方式,有着别样的人生所构成的多姿多态的文化。

Travels on Holiday China

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.

Why did those changes appearI think there are several reasons. First, it s because people can afford traveling. Second, people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third, their attitudes to relaxation have changed. Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short, peoples living standard today has been rising greatly. The Best Way of Traveling

最好的旅游方式

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. For me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

人们去旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假,最好的方式是徒步旅行。 My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.

我的偏好取决于旅行的目的。在暑假我旅游是为了消除疲劳并欣赏乡村美景。当我沿着河流或在群山之间走在一条青草覆盖的路上时,我觉得我远离了城市的喧嚣、亲近了自然。徒步旅行,使我很自由。我可以自己安排行程。可以选择我自己的路线。我可以把车子停在我喜欢的地方。而且我可以遇到那些坐火车或公共汽车会错过的人和事。

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

当更迅速、更方便的方式使旅游变得更便捷,我仍然热衷于徒步旅行。我从中得到许多乐趣。人们去

旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假,最好的方式是徒步旅行。 Tour is not only a personal interest but also a kind of knowledge. A merry journey will be the memory that you can’t forget through your lifetime. It’s really at ease if you wander with two or three china pates who have a little exploratory energy to stay in the interesting places as long as you want but just ignore the unsightly places.

旅游不单是一种兴趣,还是一门学问,快乐的旅途是你终生难忘的回忆。要是有点探险精神的,三两同游,好玩的多逗留,游个饱,不好的不看也罢,自由自在;

It’s not good to join the travel agency otherwise we should call it gaining a superficial understanding through cursory observation but not traveling. Of course, we should study to choose a most toward occasion for the most famous and beautiful scene in the places before we are going to.

不参加旅游团为好,那叫走马观花,不叫旅游。当然,出去之前应该研究一下,要知道你想前往的地方最出名最美丽的风光何时才有

And we need enough money, enough time, special channel and also an economical plane, it’s convenient for us. And we can save more time to view the blue sky generally and look out upon the cloud dancing freely outside the plane.

要是有足够的钱,宽容的时间,路线也应讲究,经济许可的可坐飞机,便捷省时,一览碧空,看云儿在脚下自由自在的飘舞;

It’s also not bad to travel by train. Enjoy the scenery out of the train on the way, just look around here and there , maybe you can get some new friends in this narrow but long carriage. Certainly you’d better choose the different path when you return back from the place of interest so that you can make your eyes full of the landscape of interest on the way and never need to revisit the once familiar place. How far-flung and galland the rivers and mountains in our homeland are! There are still too many places we can go.

坐火车呢,那也不俗,沿途景致,这边看看那边望望,说不定在车上还能交上朋友呢!当然来回路线最好不要一样,这样可把沿途的山水名胜游个饱,将来也不用再到这一片热土作重游之想了。我们的祖国啊河山辽阔壮丽,要去的地方多着呢。

Time is limited but the interest of traveling is limitless. We travel just because of our love knot to the natural mountains and rivers!

旅游之趣,不是一时能谈完的,不过,旅游,皆自对山水之钟情呵!

作文

There is a saying that “You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way.” With the improvement of living standards, more and more people have time and money to travel. During traveling, one can meet various people, make new friends and experience various lifestyles of different places.

有句俗话说:“你可以去旅行或者阅读,但是你的身体和灵魂必须在路上。”随着生活水平的提高,越来越多的人们时间和金钱去旅游。在旅游期间,可以见到形形色色的人,交新朋友,在不同地方体验不同的生活方式。

Regarding tour, most of people have great interests in it. It is a human nature that people who come from the dame nature just fall in love into the same.

对于旅游,许多人都怀有浓厚的兴趣。人从自然中来,崇尚自然,乃人类之天性。

The modern city, strenuous living, quickly and crowded living space make more and more people try to come to the dame nature with their light packs and travel bags. There is a song which just show peoples the dream of traveling long distance.

现代都市,生活的高节奏,生存空间的喧嚣和拥挤,使越来越来的人背起行囊轻装走向自然,记得有一首歌《我想去桂林》,正很好地唱出了人们想去远游的愿望。

Traveling, of course, it’s to get into the physical landscape which can help to give you a good temper, wash away the dust from your soul and make you cheer the nice life.

旅游,当然是到真正的山水中去,可以陶冶你的情操,荡涤心灵的尘埃,令你欢呼生命的美好。

Advantages of Travel By traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places. We will see with our own eyes many places read of in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots. We will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel. We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people, taste different foods and special local flavour if we like. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.

Travel will not only help us to gain knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, which will arouse our deep love for our motherland, but also will help us keep healthy and make us less narrow-minded. Travel does benefit us both mentally and physically. With all these advantages of travel, it is no wonder that travel has now become more popular .

First of all, travel can widen our knowledge of geography, the knowledge of customs, cultures and lifestyles of different places and countries. Secondly, we can make friends and practice a foreign language through travelling. Finally, travel is the best way of pastime. We can enjoy eating various foods and seeing beautiful sceneries.

Let’s Do Something to Save Our Environment

It is recently reported that some rivers and lakes have dried up in South China。 A lot of fishes died。 The bottoms of the rivers and lakes have become grass land。 The water is becoming less and less because of the bad weather。

So everyone should do something to save our environment。 First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water。 For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water。 Second, we should save energy, such as less turning on the lights and turning off the lights when we leave;Do more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on。 Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories。

Let’s act now from everything to save our environment。 Don’t let our tears be the last drop of water in the world!

Newspapers and Websites

Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But theyre different in some ways.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. Whats more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.

The rest of my schoolmates dont agree the independent recruitment of students test.First of all,it abandons the cultural advantage of our country and isnt good to spread our culture.Because the traditional recruitment method has its own benefit to the country and students.If we give up this way,we have to find an unknown way,which may sacrifice many students interest.Furthermore,it can mislead the basic education method.Because if most of universities recruit independently,many courses will be ignored.

2013全国II:应用文、写信让友代卖中国结

2012课标卷:应用文、写邮件、申请参加夏令营

2012大纲卷:应用文、邀请信、邀请外教参加生日聚会

二、综上分析,干货如下:

1.都是应用文。

说明文、议论文、夹叙夹议文不考,尤其要杜绝那些高大上的,平时经常训练的正反观点对

比的文章也要果断抛弃。

2.与学生生活、学习、交友息息相关。

生活相关:15I、15II、14II、13I、13II、12大纲

学习相关:14I、12

交友相关:12大纲

注意生活、学习、交友三大话题。有些作文也许会跨其中两个话题。凡是不符合这三个话题

的作文,高考最后这10几天少复习,甚至不复习的好。地震、环保、食品安全、雾霾、河流

空气污染、交通拥挤、良心道德、服不服等等的高大上,都抛弃吧(这些都是大学作文解决

的问题)。所以与学生生活、学习、交友相关的词汇、句式还是好好总结的。

3.渗透传统文化的元素。

传统文化:2015II重阳节、2013中国画。

这方面的词汇还是要适当准备一些滴。例如:paper cutting 剪纸,Lantern Festival 元

宵节, Mid-autumn Day 中秋节,tang yuan/ sweet rice dumpling 元宵,Chinese New Year’

s Eve 除夕,Dragon Boat Festival 龙舟节,DoubleNinth Festival 重阳节, Chinese tea

中国茶

三、透过2015年全国I的作文,看清标准范文的猫腻

假定你是李华,你校英文报“外国文化”栏目拟刊登介绍美国节日风俗和中学生生活的短文。

请给美国朋友彼得写信约稿,要点如下:

注意:1.词数100左右。2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。3.开头语已为你写好。

Dear Peter,

Id like to ask you to write an article for our schools English newspaper.

下面把标准答案给与了分解,同学们务必要逐字逐句地研读,找出标准范文为什么这样

写,发现范文写作时的思考过程,挖掘范文和作文原题中的一一对等的字眼提示。通过研读

分析,再回扣题目本身。写作也就那么回事儿,其实一点也不难。希望同学们可以悟出基本

的写作思路、技巧。以下英语连起来就是标准范文。

称呼,已给:

Dear Peter,

开头语,已给:

Id like to ask you to write an article for our schools English newspaper.

开篇,介绍“外国文化”栏目概况 (要点1:点出栏目名称、特点popular、进行栏目介绍):

The “Foreign Cultures” section in our newspaper is very popular among us students.

It carries articles written by foreign friends about the cultures of their home

countries. (搭配be popular among、carry一词用得好、过去分词短语written by作后

置定语)

进行约稿 (写作目的,这可是正事儿):

Would you please write something about the culture in your part ofthe United States

稿件内容 (要点2):

And (and一词虽然简单,但用得巧妙,呈上衔接,过渡自然,读起来还有抑扬顿挫之感觉) we

would especially (强调递进) welcome articles about how Americans spend their holidays

and festivals (节日风俗,扣栏目) and the life of American high school students (中

学生生活,扣栏目).

适当拓展,根据字数灵活安排

You can write anything relevant so long as its interesting and informative. (高

级词汇、so long as好句式)

稿件长度 (要点3):

400 words would be fine.

交稿日期 (要点4):

合适的结尾 (万能句式,一定背下):

Im looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

can experience American culture, and the other is that I can broaden my mind in this

country. But I have some worries. My English is a bit poor, especially spoken English.

I am very happy to have you as our English teacher.

As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and more

important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.

My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel

it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking

English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words.

Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practice speaking. I believe we can

make much progress in English with your help.

Thank you!

Li Hua

Besides, we’d appreciate various activities to get everyone involved in speaking English.

篇18:高考热点作文预测及题目素材

全文共 1041 字

+ 加入清单

我们中国是四大文明古国之一,有精美的民间工艺,如剪纸、陶瓷等;有古老的民间艺术,如戏剧、国画等;有独特的风俗习惯,如元宵节闹花灯等。但是,我对民族艺术国画情有独钟。

《清明上河图》是一幅水墨画,也是一幅名扬中外的国画,是北宋时期画家张择端画的。这幅画很长,有528厘米呢!它宽24。8厘米。画的是北宋都城汴梁热闹的场面。《清明上河图》已经有八百多年的历史了,现在还安然无恙地在北京故宫博物院里呢!

张择端画这幅画下了很大的功夫,光画上的人物就有五百多个,有从乡下来的农民,有走江湖的医生,有撑着船的船工,有做各种买卖的生意人,有摆小摊的摊贩,有留着长胡子的道士,有官吏和读书人。三百六十行,每一行的人都画上了。

那里的街市可热闹了,街上有挂着各种各样招牌的店铺、作坊、酒楼、茶馆……里面热闹极了。走在街上的,是来来往往、形态各异的人:有的骑着马,有的赶着小毛驴,有的小孩在欢快地放风筝,有的挑着担子,有的推着那时的独轮车,有的悠闲地街头溜达……画面上的人有的还不到一寸,但我们能看清楚人们都在干什么。

我国的民族艺术真是有趣!咱们中国真不愧是四大文明古国之一!哦,我忘记了,我们可不要只观看不发扬呀,我们要把祖国流传下来的东西发扬光大哦!

你们可知道我最拿手的是什么吗?让我来告诉你们吧!我最拿手的是剪纸。只是你们不要以为我只会剪什么动物、字、花等图案,我是想要剪什么就能够剪什么的,而且你们还不要说我还剪得有点像模像样的,非常逼真。

怎么样,你想要看看我的手艺吗?好吧,我就剪一个给你看一看。只是,不巧,你不能够到我这儿来。现在我只能够用文字告诉你,看了以后你一定也会感受到、欣赏到的。

我先找来了一张白纸,裁成一个正方形。然后,我按照自己想剪图形的样子去折纸。我斜着对折,然后再斜着对折一次。好了,现在这一张纸成了一个三角形了,好象一座小山。接着,我就动手剪了起来。我东边一剪,西边一剪,然后弯了下去,再翻过一个身来往中间剪过去。我又弯来弯去地剪了一会儿,很快我就把纸花给剪好了。然后,我把纸翻开。啊,这时你就可以看到一幅漂亮的剪纸呈现在你的面前了。当然,如果你在现场看到我的剪纸的话,一定会更加兴奋。而且还会立刻动手也想自己亲自剪一剪呢!不过没有关系,你只要自己动手试一试,多试试,就一定会摸索出一套经验来的,而且会越剪越好的。

好了,我不跟你多说了,你赶紧去按照我说的去做,去剪吧!如果有机会,我们还可以走到一起商量探讨,把我们的剪纸技术进一步提高,让我们的中国民间艺术得到进一步发扬光大。

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.
