  [学生习作B]

  My hobby is reading.Reading books is very enjoyable.When I was young ,my mother used to tell me a story before.I went to bed every night.The stories were so interesting that I always felt they weren’t enough.So I began to read books by myself.Little by little I became interested in reading.I can learn much knowledge and many interesting things all over the world.When I read books,I can enjoy the beautiful sentences.At the same time I can improve my writing.I want to be a writer in the future,so I must study hard and read more books so that my dream can come true.

  ①开门见山、点题。

  ②真情流露,理由充分。

  ③文中带圈的连词使用得恰当,使文章过渡自然、

  ④巧妙使用句型以表决心。

  [点评]:档次13-14分。

  ①清楚表达写作目的,要点齐全。

  ②语言表达灵活多样,字里行间流露出真情实感,文章有感染力。

  ③恰当使用连词和从句,语言流畅,且无错误,是一篇高质量的作文。

  [高分突破]

  ①文体:记叙文。

  ②要点:what → when →how → why → hope and plan for the future.

  ③时态:一般现在时,一般过去时,一般将来时的自然变化。

  内容具有开放性,但它也是“控制性”的写作试题,因此不能随意发挥,要善于抓信息,写完要点。选用这两篇学生真实习作,一是因为他们选材相同,二是因为他们都是英语成绩优秀的同学。同学B灵活使用连词so…that,so,little by little,when,so that等,恰到好处地使用新句型和短语used to,became interested in,come true……等,使内容丰富,读起来优美流畅。其实这些表达同学A也会,只是缺乏技术加工。通过这两篇作文点评,同学们便能悟出其中的奥妙。
