Answer 1

Dear Helen,
Thank you for your email. Now I would like to tell you something about the extra-curricular reading in our school. As a matter of fact, most of the students in our school haven’t realized the importance of reading, especially extra-curricular reading. Therefore, the time and energy devoted to reading are limited. Besides, some students prefer to read comic books, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.
I think the reasons for such phenomenon are various. First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a good habit of reading. They would rather spend time on TVs or computer games instead.
However, reading is obviously beneficial to both our life and study, which can not only broaden our horizon but enrich our life as well. So it is quite necessary for us students to take up reading and for teachers to lessen the amount of homework so that we can have more time to read. 
Best Wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

試題分析：考查半開放性作文寫作。半開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。這篇作文是關(guān)于中學(xué)生課外閱讀情況的調(diào)查報告。考生可以從本校學(xué)生的閱讀情況入手，每天閱讀時間為多少，一個月要讀多少本書等等。分析原因可以從學(xué)習(xí)的時間太長，留給閱讀的時間不夠等。在保證內(nèi)容要點全部概括的基礎(chǔ)上可以充分發(fā)揮自己的想象，進而用自己的語言來表達某種觀點或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語語言表達能力。首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發(fā)表個人觀點的時候，可以使用諺語來提升整個文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
【亮點說明】所給范文語言簡潔，應(yīng)用了一些較好的詞組和句子： as a result因此, prefer to do… rather than do…寧愿做…而不愿…，be burdened with負擔(dān)， form a habit of 形成…，the time and energy students devoted to reading are very limited.這句話用了定語從句， So it is quite necessary for the students to take up reading and for the teachers to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. 這句話用了it做形式主語和so that句型還有范文使用了Besides, First of all, However,這樣的關(guān)聯(lián)詞使文章更加連貫。
