短文寫作

沈麗君

湖北卷的短文寫作要求同學們根據英文提示，結合生活中的一個事例，寫一篇話題作文。這種“開放式”的論述文的命題形式給同學們很大的自由發揮空間，對寫作的布局謀篇提出了較高要求，要求同學們既要發表觀點，又要描寫敘述。

請根據以下提示，并結合具體事例，用英語寫一篇短文。

Honesty is a kind of courage and responsibility.Honesty wins trust， respect and friendship.

注意：①無須寫標題；

②除詩歌外，文體不限；

③內容必須結合你生活中的具體事例；

④文中不得透漏個人姓名和學校名稱；

⑤詞數不少于120，如引用提示語則不計入總詞數。

【審題謀篇】

一、讀提示語，鎖定寫作話題

英文提示語其實是讓同學們在英文語境中選擇一個恰如其分的話題，所以讀提示語，選擇合適的話題是寫作的關鍵。本文提示語意為：誠實是一種勇氣和責任，它能為我們贏得信任，尊重和友誼。

二、謀篇布局，擬定提綱

湖北高考英語短文寫作多采用三段式結構，即引言（introduction）——主體（body）——結尾（conclusion）。第一段提出話題——誠實是一種美德，也是責任，它能在生活中為我們贏得他人的信任和友誼；第二段主體部分用言簡意賅的語言敘述一個自己生活中遇到的與誠實有關的小事；第三段寫這個經歷給自己的體會和啟示，回歸主題——誠實在生活中很重要。

習作一

Its generally accepted that honesty is a great virtue.Honesty makes people accepted and trusted by others， which is of great importance in our society. I learned it from my own experience.

One afternoon， I borrowed a dictionary from my best friend Bob. That was his favorite birthday gift from his uncle， which he lent to me without a second thought. But a few days later， I left the dictionary on the bus by accident. What should I do to face my generous friend？ At the beginning， I tried to find some excuses for my fault. However， I was not a good story maker. Having hesitated for a week， I chose to face my friend honestly. Taking up my courage， I apologized to him and told him the event. “Well，” he said. “Im a bit upset but Im happy that you can tell me the truth. I know my closest friend wont lie to me. Though I have lost my book， I still keep a true friend.” It was my frankness and honesty that helped me to be trusted by my friend.

Small as the thing was， it impressed on me that honesty is an important quality， which should deeply root in everyones heart. Only when we get along with others heart to heart can we be trusted and respected in life.
