Answer 1

Thanksgiving Day，which was created by Americans, was aimed at giving thanks to Indians, the local people in America, who helped the European settlers go through the hard days at the very beginning.   
Now Thanksgiving Day is mainly celebrated in America and Canada. In America , it falls on the fouth Thursday in November, but in Canada, it is celebrated in second Monday of October.
On this special day, people have two days off and all family members get together to enjoy time with their family. It is a tradition to eat turkey on that day.
Nowadays, people show gratitude to parents, friends or anyone who is helpful by greeting each other. The theme of Thanksgiving Day  has added even more meanings, which will become more and more popular.

試題分析：這是一篇提綱類書面表達(dá)，文章的要點(diǎn)也基本上都給出來了，而且很具體，考生要把要點(diǎn)解釋清楚，不能有遺漏。除了表達(dá)這些要點(diǎn)以外，還要闡述自己的觀點(diǎn)，這就要求考生自己拓展發(fā)揮，在寫作的過程中，要注意使用高級詞匯和高級句型，如強(qiáng)調(diào)句，倒裝句等，讓文章更上檔次。同時(shí)在列舉措施的時(shí)候要使用合適的連接詞如：First，second， Besides, What’s more等，讓文章看起來很有條理，也很流暢。本篇文章在寫作時(shí)不要啰嗦，力求簡潔。
【亮點(diǎn)說明】所給范文語言簡潔，運(yùn)用了一些詞組：falls onhave two days off get together范文中的句式多變，運(yùn)用不同的語法知識：Thanksgiving Day，which was created by Americans, was aimed at giving thanks to Indians, the local people in America, who helped the European settlers go through the hard days at the very beginning.這句話用了兩個(gè)定語從句， It is a tradition to eat turkey on that day. 這句話用了it做形式主語。Nowadays, people show gratitude to parents, friends or anyone who is helpful by greeting each other. The theme of Thanksgiving Day  has added even more meanings, which will become more and more popular. 這兩句話都用了定語從句。
