Dear Mary,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn't afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people's clothes. The followings are my ideas:
Firstly, you shouldn't put too much emphasis on physical appearance.
Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.
Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, Frugality is the mother of virtue.
Since your family can't provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.
I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.
Yours,
Anne
Dear my father and mother,
This letter is my inner feelings. I want to thank both of you for so many years’ care and help.
During my growth, you have made a lot of efforts and love for me. When I make a success, both of you are more excited than me, and support me to do better. Even though I have failed, you always share sorrow with me and encourage me not to give up. Especially, during my preparation for CET-4, the support from you is always everywhere. I have passed the exam successfully.
You love is so unselfish that I am deeply affected, so I will study hard to be a useful person and won’t make you disappointed. Anyway, I would like to express the deep gratitude to you.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
1、吃饺子
饺子的原名据称叫“娇耳”,是我国医圣张仲景首先发明的。他的“祛寒娇耳汤”的故事至今还在我国民间流传着。“立冬不端饺子碗,冻掉耳朵没人管”,立冬意味着冬天的到来,天凉了,耳朵暴露在外边很容易就被冻伤了,因此,吃点长得像耳朵的饺子,补补耳朵,这可是家里人对亲人最贴心的关怀了。
为什么立冬吃饺子?因为饺子是来源于“交子之时”的说法。大年三十是旧年和新年之交,立冬是秋冬季节之交,故“交子之时”的饺子不能不吃。现代人延续着这一古老习俗,立冬之日,各式各样的饺子卖得很火。
“好吃不过饺子”,在秋冬之交,饺子当然是最不可少的美食了。在北方地区,尤其是北京、天津一带有立冬吃饺子的习俗。
我国河东水西“老天津卫”聚居地,立冬有吃倭瓜饺子的风俗。倭瓜又称窝瓜、番瓜、饭瓜和北瓜,是北方一种常见的蔬菜。一般倭瓜是在夏天买的,存放在小屋里或窗台上,经过长时间糖化,在冬至这天做成饺子馅,味道即同大白菜有异,也与夏天的倭瓜馅不同,还要藮醋加蒜吃,别有一番滋味。
2、冬泳
有意思的是,庆祝立冬的方式现在也有了创新,在哈尔滨,立冬之日,黑龙江省冬泳协会的健儿横渡松花江,以这种方式迎接冬天的到来。
对于冬泳爱好者,一定要有一定基础,循序渐进,应该从天气暖和时坚持每天下水,持续进行锻炼。另外,要选择熟悉水岸情况的地点冬泳,如果不熟悉水中及岸边的情况,就不要轻易下水,以免发生意外。另外,要结伴而行,以便互相照顾。
其实,无论室内运动还是户外运动,都要做好充分的准备活动。因为,冬季里场地、器械等密度加大,对人体的冲击力也加大。而且,天冷时人体的肌肉、关节组织活动性降低,具有一定惰性,因此锻炼时更要做好充分准备活动,循序渐进。
3、贺冬
贺冬亦称“拜冬”,在汉代即有此俗。东汉崔定《四民月令》:“冬至之日进酒肴,贺谒君师耆老,一如正日。”宋代每逢此日,人们更换新衣,庆贺往来,一如年节。清代“至日为冬至朝,士大夫家拜贺尊长,又交相出谒。细民男女,亦必更鲜衣以相揖,谓之拜冬”。(见顾禄《清嘉录》卷十一。
民国以来,贺冬的传统风俗,似有简化的趋势。但有些活动,逐渐固定化、程式化、更有普遍性。
4、祭祖祭天
旧时,立冬这天,人们还要举行祭祖祭天的活动。即便再忙的农人也要在家休息一天,***鸡宰羊,准备时令佳品,一方面祭祀祖先,以尽为人子孙的义务和责任;一方面祭祀苍天,感谢上天恩赐的丰年,并祈求上天赐给来岁风调雨顺;而祭祀仪式后的酒食也可让辛苦一年的农人,好好犒赏一下自己。
5、补冬
立冬后,就意味着今年的冬季正式来临。草木凋零,蛰虫休眠,万物活动趋向休止。人类虽没有冬眠之说,但民间却有立冬补冬的习俗。在南方,人们会吃些滋阴补阳,热量较高的食物,如鸡鸭鱼肉等,有的还会和中药一起煮来增加药补的功效,中药为当归、川芎、芍药、生地四味药。
冬令进补吃膏滋是苏州人过立冬的老传统。在旧时苏州,一些大户人家还用红参、桂圆、核桃肉,在冬季烧汤喝,有补气活血助阳的功效。通常每到立冬节气,苏州中医院以及一些老字号药房都会专门开设进补门诊,为市民煎熬膏药,销售冬令滋补保健品。
据常州一些老人回忆,旧时就有补冬的风气,劳动了一年的人们,利用立冬这一天要休息一下,顺便犒赏一家人一年来的辛苦。有句谚语“立冬补冬,补嘴空”就是最好的比喻,所以每到立冬,各大医院的膏方门诊就开始热起来了。
专家提醒,冬季进补宜“温补”,不宜“寒凉”,并不是所有的碱性食物都适合在冬季进补,应多食温性或平性食物。蔬菜类如山药、洋葱、南瓜、大头菜、黑木耳、荠菜、红薯、土豆、芋头等。水果类如山楂、石榴、木瓜、龙眼、橘子、柠檬等。坚果类如栗子、杏仁、核桃等。饮料类如:咖啡、牛奶、豆浆等。
6、拜师
冬季里,好多村庄都举行拜师活动,是学生拜望老师的季节。入冬后城镇乡村学校的学董(学校管理人员,领上家长和学生,端上方盘(盘中放四碟菜、一壶酒、一只酒杯,提着果品和点心到学校去慰问老师,叫做“拜师”。
有些老师人家,在立冬或冬至这天,像过大事一样,设宴招待前来拜师的'学生。在庭房挂孔子像,上书“大哉至圣先师孔子”。学生在孔子像前行脆拜礼,口念:“孔子,孔子,大哉孔子!孔子以前未有孔子,孔子以后孰如孔子!”然后学生向老师请安,礼毕,学生分头在老师家中做一些家务活。
7、冬学
冬天夜里最长,而且又是农闲季节,在这个季节办“冬学”是最好的时间。冬学非正规教育,有各种性质:如“识字班”,招收成年男女,目的在于扫盲;“训练班”招收有一定专长的人,进行专业知识训练,培养人材;“普通学习班”主要提高文化,普及科学技术知识。冬学的校址,多设在庙宇或公房里。教员主要聘请本村或外村里人承担,适当的给予报酬。
Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attractions. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China. In the place far away from the capital city, the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.
So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.
In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.
首先,提纯范文 “谋篇布局”及结构模板。
第一段:提出问题或现象。Nowadays, … … have become one of the popular … …. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that … ….
第二段:正反列举人们的看法。So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to … …? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for … … in that … …. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, … … will have negative effect on … … because it will not only do harm to … … but also to … ….
第三段:摆明自己观点。In my opinion, … … is not a good thing. … … With the increasing … …, it will ruin … ….
其次,提纯范文“段落写作”。
段落写作分为统一性,连贯性和完整性三方面。
统一性(unity:段落开头的主题句应该做到不可太宽泛,也不可太具体,做到有较强的概括性才能使下文做到有的放矢的展开。范文第二段首句以设问的方式提出一个问题is it a good or bad thing就有很强的概况性。下文自然会一方面从好的方面说明,另一方面从坏的方面说明。
连贯性(coherence:关联词是使文章段落之间相互连贯的必要条件。范文中nowadays, on one hand, on the other hand, in one’s opinion即以“启承转合”递进的顺序是文章条理清晰,层层展开。
完整性(completeness:以设问句“So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists?”开头,这是平时较少运用的段落写作方式——设问法。“On one hand … …. On the other hand, … ….”是段落写作分类列举法的典型用法。
再次,提纯范文“句子写作”。
1. It has been shown that … …
类似句型:It is known to us that … …
It is said that … …
It is reported that … …
It is controversial that … …
2. “… … Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities … …。”——并列句。并列句是简单的复杂句。但其运用方法并不简单,注意练习并接句的使用,会使句子显的更加饱满。
3. enable v. 使…能够
I gave him full directions to enable him to find the house.
4. in that = because
表“因为”的连词还有since, for, as,如:
The boy was absent because he was ill. = The boy was absent since he was ill.
此句以我们常用的人称开头,句式简单,我们可以通过把since提前改变句式,如:
Since the boy was ill, he was absent. 句式多样化。
最后,提纯范文“措辞”。
1. attraction n. 具有吸引力的事情。
2. thousands and thousands 成千上万的
形容“多”的表达方法:millions and millions
a multitude of
a great deal of
a large amount of
plenty of
many a
3. “some people argued that … …”中的“argue”并不是“讨论,辩论”的意思,而是“认为”。
I argue that … …
I maintain that … …
I claim that … …
I insist that … … = I think that … …
I hold that … …
I assert that … …
I assume that … …
4. negative adj. 否定的.,相反的
hold negative view = hold opposite opinions
5. phenomenon n. 现象
social phenomenon 社会现象
natural phenomenon 自然现象
6. intellectual adj. 聪明的= intelligent, bright, clever
(选词策略:使用最近所学的单词,如intellectual > intelligent > bright > clever
在分析并掌握范文之后,我们需要运用范文知识练习仿写。笔者运用2005年12月范文中的模板结构仿写了2006年12月的四级作文,以供参考:
1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜看春节晚会
2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会
3. 我的看法
Nowadays, the Spring Festival Evening has become one of the popular topic and attractions during every traditional New Year’s Eve. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of Chinese people appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.
However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it. So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to cancel the Spring Festival Evening? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing to amuse the audience in that it is composed by a numerous adequate programs, such as the emotional song, the graceful dance, the funny short sketch, the amusing comic dialogue, the delightful magic, and the marvelous acrobatics and so on. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the Spring Festival Evening will have negative effect on the family harmony because it will not only do harm to having the talks between family members on the Spring Festival Eve but also to enjoying the gourmet meal in a fancy restaurant.
In my opinion, the Spring Festival Evening is a good thing. It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. With the increasing audience of the Spring Festival Evening, it will ruin a distinctive culture during the Spring Festival vacation.
Dear all,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to my parents for teaching me to be positive and to be strong. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” is the opinion held by Aristotle. It is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct even today, including my parenting.
It is widely acknowledged that parenting, which can also be explained as family education, is of great significance in our character forming and manner acquiring. To be more detailed, setting good examples instead of just giving precepts is the greatest achievement of my parents. They not only taught me to think for the best and prepare for the worst; they taught me how. They not only told me the benefits of being strong in mind; they proved it. All those things require huge amount of time and work, but it’s worth it.
Without my parents’ contribution and education, I would never be who I am now. But most importantly, I would never be more gratitude to them than today.
Yours,
XXX
