话题 4 如何用英语描写日常生活 Daily routines
必走三步
你校要举行一次英语演讲比赛，话题是“畅想未来生活，享受人生欢乐。”假设你已报名，请用英语写一份 120 — 150 词的演讲稿，准备参加比赛。你可以从科技发展给你们未来的生活、学习和工作带来的影响，以及如何准备迎接挑战，适应新生活等方面展开描述和讨论。
注意：演讲稿的开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。
Hello，everyone! I am glad to be able to give a talk about the future life an study here． _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ That's all．Thank you!
第一步：仔细审题。明确任务
本写作要求根据提示话题和主要信息写一份演讲稿。对演讲稿而言，其篇章结构和语言表达显得尤为重要，它们除了要展示作者基本语言基础知识外，还要很好地体现作者的逻辑思维和表达能力。为了便于口头表达，文章的语句不要过于复杂，尽量使用口语化语言，这样读起来顺口，听起来也容易理解。
根据提示，确定要点。该话题首先要对“未来的生活、学习和工作等情况”加以想象和描述，并根据题目提示的“科技发展给未来生活带来的影响”，简要说明原因。文章第二个内容是要表达“如何准备迎接挑战，适应新生活”，这也是个人观点的表达。要认真分析未来生活变化给我们带来的机遇和挑战，作为未来世界的主人，我们应该怎样做，等等。 第二步：紧扣主题。扩点成句
根据审题所得，将要表达的有效信息用灵活的句式表达出来。如：
1．作为演讲内容的总括和概述，也是文章的主题，开篇可以表达“科技发展给未来生活、学习和工作带来很大的影响”。可以运用如下几个句式：Thanks to the great development in science and technology，we are sure to live a happier and more wonderful life in the future．或 The great development in science and technology will have a great effect on the future of our lives，work and study 等。
2．仔细分析未来生活及其巨大变化时，可以从人们的衣食住行以及学习、工作等方面加以分析与描述，可以运用 not only... but also... 等来连接这些变化，例如：Not only will we be provided with enough food and clothing，we can also spend more time traveling around the word enjoying other amusements．以及 We will have less stress in the future，either from our study or from the work 等。
3．在发挥个人观点，叙述“准备迎接挑战，适应新生活”的建议时，可以表达为：We should work harder today，making preparations to make more contributions to the development of the future society and the world．等。
4．将表达的信息用过渡词或短评连接成文，注意逻辑思维和行文的连贯。可以借鉴的表达有：furthermore，however，therefore，only in this way 等。 第三步：补充修改，连句成篇
Hello，everyone! I am glad to be able to give a talk about the future life and study here．Thanks to the great development in science and technology，we are sure to live a happier and more wonderful life in the future．Not only will we be provided with enough food and clothing，we can also spend more time traveling around the world and enjoying other amusements．It will make our spare time more interesting and colorful．Furthermore，we will have less stress either
from our study or from the work since we can work more efficiently．
However，our future life is not just full of amusement and joy，but also of challenge．Therefore，we should work harder today，making preparations to make more contributions to the development of the future society and the world．Only in this way can we adapt to the future life and enjoy ourselves when it comes． That's all．Thank you!
满分作文——满分书信一
假设你是李华，你的澳大利亚朋友 Dick 听说中国的中小学正在减轻学生的学习负担，来信询问有关情况。请你根据下表提供的信息写一封回信。谈一谈减负给你的学习和生活带来的变化。
周末活动(减负前) 白天：上课、做作业 晚上：做作业 就寝时间：11:30 周末活动(减负后) 白天：参观博物馆、学习电脑、绘画等 晚上：看新闻、读书、看报 就寝时间：10:00 注意：1．词数 100 左右。
2．生词：减轻学习负担 — reduce learning load (NMET2001) 范文：
Dear Dick，
I'm very glad to hear from you．Now the students' learning load has been reduced a lot．All this is due to the rule made by the Ministry of Education that every school must not leave too much homework for students to do after class．How happy we are since the rule was put into practice．In the weekends，we can visit museums，learn painting and how to operate computes．These changes could have never been thought of in the past．
But in my opinion，some people fail to realize the nature of reducing students' learning load．Though teachers don't give us much work to do，parents force their children to put their minds into books after school．So we can see the rule cannot work by itself．We should let people understand the real meaning of reducing students' learning load． Best wishes． Yours， Li Hua 点评
这封书信感情真挚，主题鲜明。对一部分人不能将减负贯彻到底提出了批评，最后在结尾发出呼吁，使得文章具有更深的意义。不足之处是论述过于宽泛，没有较强的针对性。 必做练习
假设你是李华。你的外围笔友 Jane 打算于七月来中国，特来信了解中国的社交习俗。 请你用英语回一封信，从以下几个方面作具体介绍。
1．见面时的问候方式；2．对赞美的回答方式；3．接收礼物时的回应方式；4．餐宴礼节。
注意：1．词数 100 左右，信的开头和结束语已为你写好(不计人总词数)。 2．可根据内容要点适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 Dear Jane，
Glad to hear from you and you're welcome to China in July．____________________ ______________________________________________________________________ I hope what's mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey．
Yours sincerely， Li Hua
(2009 年高考四川卷) 答案： Dear Jane，
Glad to hear from you and you're welcome to China in July，the following are some Chinese customs．
Firstly，we great each other by saying \"Hello\" or asking such questions as \"Where are you going?\" or \"Are you busy?\" to express our care．Secondly，when praised，we reply with \"oh，no!\" or \"I'm over-praised\" to show good manners．Next，when receiving a gift，we usually say \"It's unnecessary\" besides \"Thanks\" to show politeness and then put it away．Finally，at dinner parties，we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone's health or success to show that we're warm．
Anyhow，different cultures，different customs．If you \"do as the Romans do when in Rome\"，you'll enjoy more of your stay here．
I hope what's mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey． Yours sincerely， Li Hua
