Dear David,

I am writing to tell you something about the square dance in China. In the morning or after dinner, people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in now.

There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all,China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides,doing the square dance is a good way for people to keep fit.

However, just as each coin has two sides,this kind of dance has also leads to some problems. For example, dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places, which annoy many other people.Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.

Yours,

LiHua

亲爱的戴维,

我写信是要告诉你关于在中国广场舞的东西。在早上或晚饭后,人们,特别是老年妇女,将聚集在广场跳舞流行音乐。现在越来越多的年轻人也加入进来。

它的流行背后有许多原因。首先,中国在过去几十年的社会和经济发展取得了巨大进步,人们有更多的时间和精力去享受自己。此外,做广场舞是人们保持健康的好方法。

然而,正如每个硬币都有两面一样,这种舞蹈也导致了一些问题。例如,舞者大声地演奏音乐,占据了许多公共场所,这让许多人感到不安。

你的好朋友,

李华

篇7:高考英语写作四大流程介绍

全文共 1345 字

+ 加入清单

拿到英语试题不知道从哪里下手吗?那么下面这套英语写作流程对你会有一定的帮助。

一.审题。

拿到题目后,手中拿铅笔,手脑眼嘴并用,开始审题。看题目的要求是什么,要点是什么,特殊要求是什么。譬如你是叫李华,还是随便一个名字? 要议论文还是记叙文?对分几段写有无要求?等等。诸如此类的硬性要求信息,都最好用铅笔划下来,以免出错,也许你一开始会记得,可随着时间的流逝,你会不会因紧张而遗忘这些信息呢?还是小心为妙。边看最好边张嘴默读,这样就不会遗漏或忽略任何一个字了。

二.草稿。

有的同学怕出错,全文都打草稿再誊写,我姑且认为不太可取,毕竟考场时间宝贵,即使我有四十分钟时间写作文也不敢贸然这么做,更何况考场时我们留给作文的时间往往一再被压缩。有的同学不打草稿,我认为更不太可取。一来容易出错,二来边写边想思维不连贯,即使思维连贯也无法审词酌句,展现自己最好的一面,容易后悔。

草稿怎么打?

1.结构就是你打算分几段写,每段都写什么?哪段转哪段承哪段起合?心里都要是有谱的。

2.关键词:结构拟定后,迅速在草稿纸上写下自己这篇作文可能用到的一些关键词。包括一些漂亮的词和自己可能会忘记的词。主要是动词和名词。

譬如一省作文题: 假设你的名字是李华,亚洲冬季运动会将在你居住的地方举办,现招募志愿者。你希望成为志愿者。申请信的格式已经写好了,你直接写内容就可以。你的个人情况:年龄性别学历,个人条件。英语好,爱好体育,擅长交际,乐于助人。承诺提供最佳服务。

关键词就是学历、爱好、擅长、乐于、承诺,和你对这篇作文初步构思时想到的一些词。先把这些词(指词的英文表达)写在纸上。有一些词的拼写,譬如学历,可能你本身就记得不是特别清楚,这时一定要在开始写作文前先把它写下来,以免一会因干扰而遗忘。

可能看到聪明这个关键词时,你最初写下的往往是clever,再仔细想想,你是不是又想到了smart,deligient好多词,挑个漂亮和合适的用吧。再比如转折,你写了but,这会再想想,是不是又有一堆表示转折的词在你脑里打转呢?挑一个吧。千万别用but.

3.句式:词写下来了,其实你构建这篇作文的建筑材料就到位了,下步就是要把它们盖成漂亮的作文。先用最普通的陈述句把它们在头脑中过一遍,然后看看都能改成什么句式。能不能把一句陈述句改成问句?能不能用上一个双重否定句?能不能用一个主语从句套定语从句的长句?能不能用一个插入语?等等。把你高中三年的英语积累展示出来。在草稿纸上同样标注。

三.正式写。

这样的草稿打完后,就要快快写了。注意,英语作文的卷面简直太重要了,一定要把字写整齐,写大。没有把握的词和句子不用。别忘了遵守你最初用铅笔划下的题目的规定。

四.检查。

注意,最最重要的一步来了。尽管很小心,可是我们写英语作文还是会犯下很多错误。单词拼写的,大小写的,等等。这些错误会极大破坏我们在阅卷老师心目中的形象,一定要坚决誓死消灭。即使时间再紧,请务必留下1——2分钟检查作文的时间,消除隐性错误。

需要说明的是,英语的开头和结尾是最关键的,尤其是开头。基本上,不跑题,遵守题目要求,一个漂亮的开头,一个还过得去的结尾,2-3个高级词汇,1-2个漂亮的句子,加上整齐的字迹,作文的分就不会低了哦。所以,精心为你的作文想个漂亮的开头吧。

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars and therefore are called "god‘s lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979 "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

人们喜欢在清明节期间放风筝。风筝放飞其实并不限于清明节。它的独特之处在于人们在白天不放风筝,晚上也放风筝。一串串的小灯笼拴在风筝上或是线上看起来像闪亮的星星,因此被称为“上帝的灯笼”。

清明节也是一个植树的时候,树苗的成活率很高,树木生长快。在过去,清明节被称为“植树节”。但自1979以来,“植树节”定在3月12日根据公历。

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in china, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.
