今年作文題出的很穩健?？嫉亩际谴髮W生熟悉的話題。

　　英語一的小作文要求學生為研究生會寫一個招募國際全球化會議志愿者的通知。內容要求包括志愿者本人的基本資歷和其他相關信息。招募這類應用文很常見，在我《考前作文30篇》中有兩篇作文都是關于這類題材的，一個是為學生會招募志愿者(P173)，另一個是為學生會招聘工作人員(P135)。

　　英語二的小作文是寫一封感謝信，感謝自己在美國參加交流項目期間美國朋友的招待。年底我在課堂上驚中原題?！秾懽髦v義》(P49)和《萬能作文》(P54~55)。范文如下：

　　Write a letter according to the situation below:

　　You stayed with a local family when you attended a training program. Write a letter to the family, thanking them for their hospitality.

　　You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address. (10 points)

　　范文

　　Dear Mr. Scott,

　　I'm writing to express my gratitude for your entertainment during my stay in your house. I cannot forget your beautiful wife's cooking. And thank you so much for the splendid present that you have sent me, and I feel deeply moved by this token of your affection. The book you chose to offer me is very interesting and instructive. I have read a few pages with great eagerness. It is a great consolation for me, when confined to the hospital by illness. I am sure there will be a great pleasure and benefit in store for me.　

　　I really appreciate your concern. Thanks again.　

　　I am looking forward to seeing you.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Li Ming

　　今年英語一的大作文主題相當鮮明，跑題的人很少。畫的是一個火鍋，火鍋里煮著古今中外各類文化現象：畢昇、后現代、莎士比亞、功夫、佛、愛因斯坦。顯然文章主題是文化融合，屬于積極類作文。這個題目與2002年的作文題“文化交流”同類，如果把《萬能作文》中02年范文(P244)背一下，寫今年作文很容易。像這類題目和2003年上海高考卷的“雜”如出一轍，也與上海世博會這個時代背景相一致。

　　在寫法上，分三段，第一段描寫，把火鍋里具有代表性的詞翻譯一下；第二段說明圖畫的主題，突出文化融合。極少數同學理解成重視傳統文化，重視個人的全面發展，這就屬于偏離主題。第三段評論，要贊揚文化融合對個人、國家、世界的積極影響。有個同學長篇大論地談“去其糟粕，取其精華”，就不符合積極的主題。

　　今年英語二的大作文考的是圖表作文，讓學生對發達國家、發展中國家手機從2000年到2008年逐年增加這一現象進行評論。這個作文在我的《考前作文30篇》(P88~89)，再次驚現原題。

　　附范文：

　　As is shown in the chart, cell phones are becoming more and more popular in China. In 2003, the number of cell phones in use was 85,260,000. It was 180,000,000 in 2004, 206,600,000 in 2005, 269,000,000 in 2006, and 315,000,000in 2007. In 2008, the number has reached as high as 395,000,000. From these statistics, we can see that cell phones in use are increasing at a surprising speed。

　　The populairty of cell phones proves how useful and convenient they are in our life. We can now hardly imagine what life would be without them. Cell phones enable people to easily and quickly communicate with one another. You can reach anyone you want to talk to within an instant, which increases the efficiency of business. A cell phone is now also something wonderful that we can have fun with. With a cell phone, we can get news, play games and listen to music. We can even chat with each other through sending short messages. And the drop in price of cell phones has made it possible for ordinary people to afford them。

　　Mobile phones also have some disadvantages. The radiation cell phones emit may be hazardous to one’s health. Furthermore, the reliablity of cell phones signal still leaves much to be improved. Of couse these negative aspects will not diminish its popularity. We can safely predict that with the development of new techniques, these problems will all be solved and that mobile phones will have more applications and become even more appealing to customers。

　　在此我只想對大家說：有耕耘，就有收獲。老師多耕耘就會使學生多收益。學生多耕耘，就會有備無患，處變不驚。
