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
我的家乡河北是一个美丽而富饶的地方。有清澈的小河,河边长满了绿色的小草,像是在透明的绿玻璃外围铺上了一片天然的地毯,河中还安装了音乐喷泉,水柱会随着音乐舞动,一会儿高,一会儿低,一会儿快,一会儿慢,好看极了!到了晚上,宽宽的马路上,大大小小的汽车,来来往往,川流不息。
家乡的特产有甜甜的麻糖,和蜂蜜,酸酸甜甜的枣,我最喜欢添甜的麻糖了。你要是来到了唐山,热情好客的唐山人准会献上最好吃的特产让你吃个够!
那里还有美景,例如南湖,南湖的美,美在水。湖水清澈见底像一面大镜子,一望无际,直到天边。湖水仿佛和天一样蓝。湖面上的荷花们形态各异,有的打着花苞,像一个害羞的小姑娘;有的开一两片,像将要长大的少女;有的全部盛开了,像一张张绽开的笑脸,它们一个个在湖面上翩翩起舞。这时候,一阵微风吹来,荷花散发出迷人的清香,在旁边欣赏风景的人,都陶醉在这清香之中。看到这个情景,我不禁想起宋代杨万里的诗句:“接天连叶无穷碧,映日荷花别样红。”南湖不但水美,树也美。一排排柳树远远看去,就像一把把巨大的绿伞。春天,一阵阵微风吹来,柳树就随风舞动,柳条轻轻地抚摸着湖面。美丽极了!
我爱我的家乡河北!
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 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
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。
河北素有“首都的后花园”之称,春暖花开的季节,有明媚的阳光、热情的河北电大人,“天时、地利、人和”都有了,这次在美食上的旅行一定是愉快的!
您吃过河北晋州的鸭梨吗?晋州鸭梨亦名雅梨,是中国古老的优良梨品种。河北晋州是鸭梨的原产地,被称为“中国鸭梨第一乡”,具有2000多年的栽培历史。晋州鸭梨不仅果型美观,色泽鲜雅,皮薄多汁,香味浓郁,清脆爽口,酸甜适度,素有“天生甘露”之称。还具有清心润肺、止咳定喘、润燥利便、醒酒解毒之功效。
来到衡水,不得不品尝这里的“衡水老白干”衡水老白干自古享有盛名。明代、衡水酒有“隔墙三家醉,开坛十里香”之誉。据传,明嘉庆年间建造衡水木桥时,城内有家“德源涌”酒店,很有名望,建桥工匠常到此聚饮,饮后赞曰:“真洁,好干!”后取名:“老白干”。所谓“老”,是指历史悠久;“白”,是指酒质清澈;“干”,是指酒度高,达67度。
您吃过这里的驴肉火烧吗?驴肉火烧是小吃一种,发源于河北省古城保定,广泛流传于冀中平原,其中以保定北部徐水县的漕河地区历史最为悠久。火烧为一种面食,一般为死面做成。将其在饼铛里烙熟后,架在灶头里烘烤,使其外焦里嫩,别具风味;趁热用刀劈开,加入热腾腾的熟驴肉,是最正宗的吃法。另有肉汤加淀粉熬制的焖子夹入火烧佐食,其中以保定南部定州地区的焖子最为美味和著名。吃这个时在配上保定三百年老字号的“槐茂”酱菜和小米粥,吃起来回味无穷。
欢迎来到河北,品尝这里的美食!
