To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
一沙一世界,
一花一天堂,
手中即无限,
永恒亦短暂。
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
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
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.
在今年全国两会期间,央视做过一期关于留守儿童的节目。湖南省慈利县零溪镇象鼻嘴村党支部书记向平华在接受采访时说:“现在我们天天谈幸福,什么是幸福?在我看来,幸福的最低标准有四个,那就是家里没有留守儿童,没有空巢老人,没有荒芜的田地,夫妻俩恩恩爱爱不离婚。”乍一看,这个标准再简单不过了,可这个最低标准,却让很多人感觉不到幸福。
我在一所乡村中学任教,所担班级的60多名学生中有50多人是留守孩子,他们有的是一年见一次父母,有的两三年见一次,有的更久。这些孩子性格孤僻,学习成绩差,也没把心思放在学习上,厌学,总想着早日离开校园出去打工。还有一些孩子缺乏爱心和交流的主动性,脾气暴躁,冲动易怒,常常将无端小事升级为打架斗殴。据2008年的一次社会调查显示,全国18岁以下的留守儿童大概有5800万;其中有4000多万留守儿童不足14岁。现在的`情况应该超过这个数字了。在这些留守儿童中,88%的孩子成绩都不好。有一次我问一个平时不爱说话的女生多久没见到妈妈了,她回答说两年。我又问:“想不想妈妈?”哪知她一听,泪水立马就出来了。
前不久的一个下午,我从广场边路过,看到广场的花池边坐满了老人,犹如电线上站满了麻雀,那场景让人惊诧。我数了一下,有60多个。他们在晒太阳,说闲话,打发时光。当时我就想,这些老人,有多少是呆在子女身边的呢?空巢老人问题不是一个简单的个人问题了,已经成为我国亟待破解的社会命题。中国目前约有7000万空巢老人,经历岁月的风化,他们青春逝去,往昔的峥嵘淡然翻过。他们想念自己的子女,却可能远隔天涯或因太忙碌而无暇照顾;他们向往沟通,然而朋友越来越少,圈子越来越小,渐渐找不到述说的对象;他们希望能够关注社会,参与社会,然而他们能做的也越来越少。孤独,寂寞,独自坐在家中,无奈地数着日子。
如今在农村,因为国家惠农政策的实施,荒芜的田地少了许多,不像前几年,许多入丢下地不要,免费任入耕种,而出去打工。这一点,现在有了大改善。可需要注意的是,现在留在田地里耕作的,大多是妇女和老人,他们文化水平低,这严重阻碍了科技兴农的进程。
说起离婚,我刚看过一个新闻,2011年河南省有11.5万对夫妻“分道扬镳”,这就意味着仅仅在河南省,每天就有300多个家庭解散。这个数字比前年增加10724对,增长了18.04%,离婚增长率远高于结婚增长率。一次离婚,从物质上看,损失可能不是太大,但从长远来看,成本实在是太高,尤其是对有孩子的家庭,单亲家庭对孩子的性格发展、家庭认知都会造成不小的负面影响。我所教的几十个孩子中单亲家庭的就有4个,这4个学生学习成绩都很差,始终排在最后几名。他们不爱说话,自卑,极其敏感,与其他学生关系也不好。
由此看来,幸福的四个最低标准尽管再简单不过了,可你我又拥有多少呢?问问自己幸福吗?没有留守儿童,没有空巢老人,没有荒芜的田地,夫妻俩恩爱不离婚,其实这里面包含的是责任与承担,是理解与体贴,是关爱与亲情,是勤恳与努力。让我们把握住这最低的幸福标准,去搭建一个家,去爱身边的人。
