【正文】 ，每次考試的作文題都不會很難， 只要知道課文的基本內(nèi)容，文中出現(xiàn)的人物性格，或者議論文的關鍵句子，一些 outline，關鍵單詞就不會有什么問題。比較難的議論文都不太會考（但不代表完全不會考，下列包括了 31課全的作文資料，全都準備就萬無一失） 常用的一些語句： from my point of view… for one thing…， for another… …play an important part/role in… 等 …（如果為了應負考試的話記住一組常用短語既可，當然你掌握的越多越好咯 ~） 可以在平時課文里累積 . 如果實在寫不出為了湊字數(shù)的話可以選擇相同意思但是 單詞 數(shù)較多的短語，比如 because 就可以用 on account of 都有因為的意思， 等等 . 較高分的作文要求：短句、長句、從句結(jié)合。詞匯盡量豐富，句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以用一些倒裝句或者強調(diào)句。不要過多用簡單句。適當加一些適合的形容詞副詞來修飾。文章語句通順，結(jié)構(gòu)分明（可以分段寫）。 重點文章（往年重復考的文章）為紅色標記 不太可能考的為藍色標記（不代表完全不考，可能性比較小而已） 希望大家還是腳踏實地地把每課課后的寫作練習做一遍，參考 一些往年的例文，這些都有很大實踐性的益處。 祝大家考試順利！ LESSON 1： Twelve Things I Wish They Taught at School 1) …are really deep questions是很深奧的問題 2) …requires courage…and knowledge and patience…問問題需要勇氣 …回答問題需要知識和耐心 3) Discuss ideas in depth with …和 …討論深奧的問題 4) What it is that you don’t know 什么 是你不知道的 5) It’s much braver to…than to…問比不問勇敢得多 6) key skill a student should 7) Everyone makes mistakes 每個人都會犯錯 8) …in not learning from your mistake. 尷尬的是沒有吸取教訓 9) Asking questions ia the way to…問問題是一種方式 10) …can be a gateway to real 途徑 11) Touch more great works 多接觸文學作品 LESSON 2： Icon Difference Heroes Icons A heroes are noted for enduring achievements, and selfsacrifice make for the benefits of others.
