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(kāi)放性作文寫作。半開(kāi)放性作文給出了一個(gè)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(duì)于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強(qiáng)的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點(diǎn)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(bào)告。考生可以從本校學(xué)生的閱讀情況入手，每天閱讀時(shí)間為多少，一個(gè)月要讀多少本書等等。分析原因可以從學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)，留給閱讀的時(shí)間不夠等。在保證內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)全部概括的基礎(chǔ)上可以充分發(fā)揮自己的想象，進(jìn)而用自己的語(yǔ)言來(lái)表達(dá)某種觀點(diǎn)或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時(shí)能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言表達(dá)能力。首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語(yǔ)或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時(shí)要賦予變化，因?yàn)檫@樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時(shí)也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個(gè)要點(diǎn)組織成一個(gè)完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發(fā)表個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，可以使用諺語(yǔ)來(lái)提升整個(gè)文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
【亮點(diǎn)說(shuō)明】所給范文語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)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(fù)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(yǔ)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(yǔ)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。
