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
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
水,乃万物之命脉所在。她孕育了生命,使地球上的一切都生机勃勃;她滋润了万物,使世界中的一切生机盎然;她哺育了世界,使眼前的一切都充满了欢乐。不过,当人类尝着自己不爱护水资源所造成的苦果时,人类早已泣不成声,那是世界最后一滴水……
海水蔚蓝蔚蓝,在远处水天相接的地方,风帆点点,你躺在灿烂的沙滩上,凉爽的海风带着水族的芳香扑鼻而来,耳畔是一声声悦耳的鸥鸣……那在你眼中早已是仙境了吧!的确如此,如今的海水能泛滥的早就泛滥成灾,人们为了建造大堤东奔西走。而那昨日叮咚作响的小溪,早就堆满了垃圾,到处是腥臭的.气味,走近了的都捂口鼻,哪儿还会跳进水里消夏乘凉呢!
水在哭泣,人也在哭泣。多少人因不爱护环境,到处乱扔垃圾而导致优美的环境受到严重的破坏。有些地方干旱少雨,人们不能品尝到甘甜的自来水。而有许多沿海城市,是那么浪费水资源,刚接的水马上就放掉,什么垃圾都往水里扔。他们是没尝到久逢甘霖的滋味啊!
一方水土养一方人,可以这样说,水是人类的摇篮。水曾经是太阳系内唯一有着文明社会的星球的轻纱,使地球在宇宙中成为了一个圣洁的星座。可那早已是过去,过去的过去,在人类的眼睛里,早就不重要了,水成了为人类造福的工具,被用做发电和提炼、研究供人们享用的东西。水脱离了水的原来面目,那个清秀淡雅、充满朝气、充满活力、充满生机的模样,而是成为一潭死水,没有汇成江河湖海希望的死水,不能与蓝天白云相配,而与垃圾为伍了
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
那是一种液体,可以被分解,可以被混合于其它物质中;那是一种养料,是生命的动力,所到之处,万物发荣滋长;那是一种境界,随遇而安,清澈故我,不卑不亢。水,从天而降落成雨,由石流下淌成泉,积少成多形成湖,奔流至海汇成洋。
你可曾留意那淙淙的.小溪,涓之细,行之轻;如清晨间淡淡的鸟语,似傍晚中迷蒙的霞光。可它生生不息,磨去了多少奇锋利石的锐气!那是一种毅力!
你可曾感叹长江的壮丽,或从容向前,或奔流湍急;所经之处虽有万种风情,但无论旱湿冷暖,飞砂走石,亦或灌木丛生,它都一往直前。九曲蜿蜒中,那是一种勇气!
你可曾敬佩大海的无边无际,日出的光芒遮不住它的浩天之气;它孕育生命,是万物的母亲;它的海纳百川是多么广博的胸襟!它给予人类一切珍贵的资源,给予生物生存的动力,那是一种魄力!
“水滴石穿”教会了我们只要肯坚持不懈地努力,任何困难都将不再使我们畏惧!滚滚黄河哺育了一代又一代华夏儿女,教会了我们自强不息的民族气节,也教会了我们“逝者如斯夫,不舍昼夜”的哲理海阔凭鱼跃,天高任鸟飞”是大海给予我们的启迪,只要我们用智慧的光芒升华自己,用坚强的火炎锤燃自己,那么终有一天,我们也会如凤凰一般飞如属于我们自己的一片天地!
正是那种神奇的液体,蕴涵了无数生命的真谛。水是一种精神,是大自然赋予每种生命都应有的精神。当我们认识了水,我们也等于认识了自己。当我们向 “不可能”说“再见”时,我们就有了溪水的恒心与毅力;当我们欣然地接受挑战,积极地面对挫折时,我们就有了长江的勇气与坚强;当我们平淡地处理矛盾,谦虚地接受指教,和善地对待他人时,我们就有了大海的宽容与博爱。
滴水成流,百流成川,千川汇河,万河成洋。倘若在自己的成长中也积累如此之多的美德,那么原本平淡的生命也会绽放出耀眼的美丽!
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。
