寫作練習

請結合下面的材料，按要求用英文寫作，詞數不少于100。

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”

—Thomas Edison

要求

1 針對名言發表你的感想；

2 應緊扣材料，有明確的觀點。

【參考范文1】

What Thomas Edison said suggests that it is not inspiration but hard work that leads to success. Some people think that many famous people have succeeded just because they were born with special talents. Actually, their success comes from hard work.

Take Thomas Edison for example. Though he studied in school for only three months because of poverty, he taught himself and learned a lot. He made more than 2,000 inventions in his life, some of which have greatly improved our life. While inventing the light bulb, Thomas Edison had tried more than 1,600 materials and failed, but he didn’t give up easily. It was his persistence and hard work that led to his final success. He set a good example to us all.

It is clear that hard work leads to success. If you are to make great contributions to society, you have to keep on trying until you succeed.

【范文剖析】

1．范文共分三個段落：第一段談了自己對寫作素材，即愛迪生名言的理解，并亮明自己的觀點——“成功不是靠特異功能，而是努力的結果”；第二段舉例證明自己的觀點。用美國著名發明家愛迪生做出眾多發明的例子，說明他的成功源自其堅持不懈的努力；最后一段為結論段，總結前文，并得出結論：努力才能成功。如果你想有所做作為，就要刻苦努力。

2．第二段用Take Thomas Edison for example一句作為過渡語，使上下文巧妙地連接起來。愛迪生的例子恰恰證明了他的成功不是因為他是天才，而是一步一個腳印踏實工作的結果。本段的舉例恰如其分地證明了第一段的論點。

3．第三段在第二段論述的基礎上得出結論, 不僅升華了主題，而且突出了中心，圓滿完成了寫作任務。

【技巧點撥】

近年來，越來越多省份在高考中采用開放性作文。開放性英語作文的特點是，試題中沒有提供具體的寫作要點，僅僅提供了一幅漫畫、一句名言或是一個話題，要求考生在正確理解寫作素材的基礎上，自主確定寫作的內容和主題。隨著試題開放性的不斷增強，高考書面表達對考生的寫作能力提出了更高的要求。一些考生覺得開放性作文比較難寫，原因在于沒有現成的寫作要點和提綱可以參考，考生需要自主確定寫作的內容和主題。

那么，我們如何寫好開放作文？首先，正確理解和分析寫作素材，確定寫作的話題和主題。其次，緊緊圍繞著寫作素材列出寫作提綱。然后，根據提綱展開寫作。

開放作文通常由三部分組成：首先談談自己對所給材料的理解，包括字面意思和隱含意義。本段表明了短文寫作的主題和中心。然后，選取一個恰當的事例來支撐自己的中心論點。這樣的短文言之有物，內容充實。最后，對前文進行簡要的歸納和總結，得出結論，升華主題。

寫好開放性作文的關鍵是對寫作素材的分析和概括，只有確定了短文主旨大意，我們才不會寫跑題。如果理解不準確，寫出的觀點就會與所給材料的內容不符；如果概括不準確，寫出來的短文的中心思想就會偏離材料的主旨。因此，考生應準確提煉出寫作素材的主旨要意，然后選取適當的例子來支撐自己的觀點。最后一段首尾呼應，再次表明觀點。

★ 寫開放作文可能用到的句式

1) 概括寫作材料用到的句式

I couldn’t agree with…more. 我完全同意某人的話……

As the saying goes… 正如俗話所說……

What someone says suggests that… 某人的話的含義是……

I totally agree with what…says. 我非常贊同……說的話。

The saying…reminds me of… ……這種說法讓我想到……

2) 結論段用到的句式

As is mentioned above… 正如前文提到的……

In summary/conclusion 總的來說

In short 簡言之

In my view/opinion 我認為

It is clear/obvious/evident that… 顯然……

【訂正】

CE: Teens 2014年11月號“強調句與狀語從句辨析”一文中，P57的2005年山東高考題答案分析有誤，特此更正。

—_________ that he managed to get the information?（2005山東）

—Oh, a friend of his helped him.

A. Where was it B. What was it C. How was it D. Why was it

【名師點撥】根據答語“a friend of his helped him”可知，第一句問“他究竟是如何獲得了信息？”因此被強調部分為疑問詞how。我們先確定疑問詞用how，然后把題干變為陳述句：It was how that he managed to get the information. 然后，再把這個句子變為特殊疑問句，我們就可以得出答案為C。
