Ⅰ.2009预测A类大作文范文及写法指导

大作文中考官对你的文章会特别关注两个方面：一个是文章的段落安排。以前考官不会去关注文章的分段或层次，比如说你可以写一段超过 100字的段落，其实最合理的段落字数分配应是30-60-60-60-30之类的文章，当然根据题型需要段落数可以不同，但是建议考生的opening 和ending段不用写太多的字数。第二，考官对大作文评分标准的第二点CQ(Communicative Quality)也十分严格，中国考生的文章往往让老外看得很累，原因是没有topic sentence的习惯，没有clear opinion的习惯，这其实是缺乏做outline的习惯，一篇观点清晰、表达明确的文章每一段的发展过程应是Topic sentence+2(3) Supporting sentences + Minor example + Flow-back sentence（八股），这样的表达是最高效的。

大作写法：八股格式+有说服力的论证内容（正反，举例，假设，因果。。。）+丰富的语法和词汇（现在分词做状语，only倒装句，简单一重的定语从句，条件句，虚拟语气，同义词替换）

1. 版本a-Over the past 50 years, young people gain status and power but old people have lost. What is the cause and is it a good development or bad development?

The knowledge-based society witnessed great changes over the past decades. Many young people have taken the place of the old ones and gained political and financial power in the world. Bill Gates, the director of Microsoft, Tony Blaire, Prime Minister of Britain and Bush, President of the USA give us vivid illustration. From my point of view, the trend is natural and inevitable. (63 words)

Young people are energetic and vigorous. Most of them have received formal education in university, where they acquired abundant knowledge and experience, which are quite essential to their future career. Compared with young people, old peoples knowledge is out-dated, which does not fit in with the development of the current society. Old people react more slowly than young people, who can always make quick judges and prompt decisions. Furthermore, young people are more open-minded than old people who have a tendency of conservation. Therefore, young people can adapt themselves to the changeable world more easily. (95 words)

Obviously, this trend brings about both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, young leaders and powers can inject vigor and new hopes to the world, which not only benefits the development of global economy, but also establishes multi-lateral relation between the countries in the world. On the other hand, young people still lack adequate experience and skills to deal with sophisticated national problems and international relations. As a result, many young leaders in the world are often criticized for lack of tactics by old people. Some young people are very radical when faced with trouble.They still have a lot of things to learn. (105 words)

Generally, old people should offer young guys opportunities to practice their abilities and talents. At the same time, young people should learn from old ones modestly and make themselves more admirable. (31 words) (294 words totally)

2.Some people live in one community in their entire lives, others move at least once. some quite often. Compare and contrast moving to different parts of the country versus living in one community in your entire life. Write about 250 words.

Some people live in one community all their lives, while others move around almost as much as nomads游牧民. Both experiences have their advantages and disadvantages.

People who stay in one spot can develop lifelong friendships, and such friends may lend a hand if trouble comes. They know each others life history, and they judge each other for the kind of person each is, not for the image each projects.

Yet spending a lifetime in one location can also lock a person into a limited way of life. Personal change may become very difficult. People with few experiences may develop a narrow outlook and find it hard to understand those who have different ethnic, racial, or religious backgrounds.

On the other hand, moving to different parts of the country is usually stressful. A person may feel lost and uprooted in a place where streets, stores, schools, and churches all are different. At first there are no friends to help.

However, those who do move learn that people in other places have a variety of outlooks. There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life and even to choose the way one likes best.

For a person who moves to a different place year after year, the disadvantages of moving probably outweigh the advantages.But a few moves are probably worth the effort. By staying in each place for a length of time, people can broaden their outlook but have enough time to make adjustment and form friendships.

3. 传统价值观的丧失People nowadays work hard to buy more things. This has made our lives generally more comfortable but many traditional values and customs have been lost and this is a pity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?（此篇7.11G类预测中，较为不重要了）

With the development of the global economy, it enables a vast majority of people to afford to purchase more commodities, which assures people of a more comfortable life but many traditional cultures are being replaced with materialism. Being rich and living the “good life” with all modern conveniences is becoming more important to many people than maintaining traditional values and customs. In my view, it is a pity if we can’t retain valuable traditional values; on the other hand, it’s natural for some outdated ones to fade or disappear.

When people work harder and have sufficient money for their life, they tend to be more self-conscious and abandon some traditional political values, such as: respect for the rulers and superiors, obedience to their orders, uncritical acceptance of certain sacrifices and discriminations. It’s natural to cast off the above traditions and accept a more equal and democratic value system.

Many traditions are valuable and have been lost through ages. As people are enjoying more comfortable material life, they gradually develop their own set of values in order to enjoy their own style of life. They adopt some practical and adulterated content, even of low standard. They show disrespect for tradition, and looking down on public opinion and law. Along with that, many social evils and crimes which had disappeared for many years or been greatly reduced now rise again. In contrast to the past, economic, material values now carry more weight than spiritual ones; personal benefit is a stronger motivation than collective benefit. People rate highly a comfortable material life, looking down upon altruism and not paying attention to other people.

The typical of the national culture, such as the virtues encouraging peace and harmony,should be maintained and promoted.It’s not bad that people work hard to ensure a basis of solid material resources. However, from traditional values one must retain the positive ones for the begin development of people themselves and the society. Otherwise,human beings will be corrupted by the immoral behaviors and values.

4.Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

范文：

As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities,and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.

Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.

Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of thesefactors may justify the huge earnings.

Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.

在媒体不断地推波助澜下，我国的许多职业运动员已成为了明星和名人。那些顶尖的运动员收入颇丰。像一些电影明星一样，他（她）们也是香车豪宅，生活极为奢华。

许多人觉得与那些挣高薪的顶级外科医生，从事研究的科学家或有管理国家责任的高官相比，他（她）们的回报极为不公。然而，运动员的薪水并不是由一个人对社会所做出的贡献或者其责任水平所决定。相反，它们反映的是从整体上来说体育运动在大众中的普及性以及那些成功的体育明星对促进公众对运动的支持所做出的贡献。所以，“公平”的概念并不是问题关键之所在。

那些认为体育明星拿高薪无可厚非的人争辩说那些有天赋的体育运动员实属凤毛麟角，高薪是对他（她）们娴熟技能和通往成功之路所付出努力的承认。竞争持续不断，运动员在他（她）们相对较短的运动生涯中迎接每次检验。来自于媒体的压力令人窒息，而且他（她）们必须生活在镁光灯下，没有隐私。这一切都证明了他（她）们高薪得之无愧。

在我个人看来，比起电影明星的高薪，体育明星的高薪更受之无愧。但与此

同时，该现象也显得出我们的社会更关注体育而非其它一些更重要的领域和成就。

5．Some people say that the increasing business and cultural contact between countries has a positive effect; others say it could contribute to a loss of the countries identities. Do you agree or agree or disagree.

Our world is changing but the questions seem to remain the same; is increased contact between cultures leading to cultural destruction? Well maybe it is, and, maybe it isn’t. And maybe that is a good thing, and maybe it isn’t. But whatever is happening we have to understand that we cannot control it, nor change it, but rather we have to get used to it.

In this modern world there are so many possibilities; many people can live how they wish and where they wish. People choose to take up any identity that they want; in China some westerners embrace Chinese culture, whilst their Chinese neighbours are wearing Nike and eating at KFC.So it is hard to say if this is cultural loss or not. (Are American’s committing cultural suicide with their KFC and McDonalds food?) The world is far more comple x than we try to make out.

And why are we so protective of our culture? (Chinese foot-binding, amongst other things, are cultural artifacts which we would rather forget.) Why can’t the new things we create also be valuable? Trying to preserve the old ways when they may be unsuitable for our future or our survival seems ridiculous. We need to move forward to survive. Increased contact with other countries and cultures is part of that movement forward.

But we will create new things if we give people freedom and resources to do so. I say let people loose, let our culture free; don’t try to hold it back or control it, for surely you will only kill it. Let’s embrace all forms of change; don’t worry we can reject them later.

6. Should governments spend money on art, when they have so many other important issues and concerns?

Many people’s lives are richer because of art—music, paintings, calligraphy, pictures, sculpture, poems and dance. However, some people feel that governments should be spending money on housing, medical care, or defense, instead of on art. This essay will discuss whether governments should or not spend money on the arts. There are several reasons why governments should not finance artists.

First of all, artists should have to follow the same rules as the rest of the market. If there is a demand for their music or sculpture, then they will be rich. Secondly, politicians generally do not have good taste. They will waste public money on popular art or on their own preferences. But the main reason why governments should minimize spending on the art world is that there are more important areas like housing, roads, hospitals, and factories which need the money first.

However, it would be wrong to say that governments should not spend any money at all on art. Everybody needs some beauty in their life, but not everyone can afford a Picasso or a piece of music. Governments should provide money for museums or concerts halls for everyone. Another point is that art allows people to express themselves and this is good for society, culture and thought. Thirdly, artists can be good for the economy by producing music, film, and attracting tourists.

All in all, governments should prioritize their spending carefully, but they should also allocate some of their budget for art.It is part of their duty to society and to future generations.

版本2：Currently a growing number of governments are investing some money in museums. Some people believe this will benefit the whole society while others maintain that the government should tighten its budget and spend the money on more important things. To my mind, the former view does make sense.

We can hardly lose sight of the fact that every country prides itself on the glory of its own history. Undoubtedly, the museum, which usually boasts a collection of objects of artistic and historical value, plays a vital role in recording a country’s history. By visiting museums, we

can not only learn about our history and civilization, but gradually cultivate a sense of social responsibility,which normally stems from a clear understanding of mankind’s history. For instance, if young people come to know what their ancestors have contributed to the development of their country, they will be inspired to dedicate themselves to the economic well-being of society. Moreover, in the museum, they will also learn something that can not be acquired from books.In addition, revelling in nostalgic memories is likely to be a sort of great enjoyment and relaxation. Therefore, it will be beneficial to the whole society if the government takes the lead in funding museums.

However, we have to admit that some countries, especially poor ones, may have difficulty spending a large sum of money in this respect, but they are able to organize fundraising activities so that wealthy members of society can donate money to public facilities such as museums. As far as I know, this is common practice in many countries.

In the final analysis, it is quite clear that museums are treasure troves of mankind. The government,as well as the individuals,should endeavour to provide enough funds for them to be on the right track. （300 words）在上面的例文中,我使用的从句占了主体,同时使用了一些书面惯用语,如 We

can hardly lose sight of the fact that…, boast a collection of objects of artistic and historical value, reveling in nostalgic memories, is likely to be…等等。考生应学会在考试时,加入一些语言“亮点”, 也许在考官审评时会“闪光”, 给全文增色。大家在平时的学习中一定要注意积累, 多背诵一些好的文章, 对提高写作水平大有裨益。

7. Traffic is a very serious problem. The pedestrians and bicycle riders are more and more dangerous. Many gardens become sacrifices to highways. What are the best ways to make the citizens satisfied?

Traffic problem becomes the biggest concern of many countries in the world, not only because of the environmental pollution caused by the exhaust gas and irritating noise, but also the menace it takes to the bicycle riders and pedestrians. Furthermore, many gardens and grasslands give way to the rapid development of traffic facilities like highway, flyovers and avenues, leaving less and less space for the citizens. (66 words)

Admittedly, the development of road construction stimulates the prosperity of economy.For example, the increase of employment rate, the sales of the private cars and the high taxes levied on car owners are what a government expects. But as a responsible government, it should have a long-term development plan instead of the pursuit of a short-term profit.

A responsible government should always give priority to people’s appeal.

(68 words)

To make the citizens satisfied, firstly, a government should preserve for the citizens more gardens and meadows, where p eople can spend weekend with their friends and family. Gardens and meadows can also purify the polluted air, creating a good environment to the citizens. Secondly, a government should encourage the use of public transport and limit the ownership of private cars. Due to the economic development, many citizens can afford a private car. Take Shenzhen as an example, the sales of private cars increase by 5,000 every month. It is hard to imagine if the current roads can accommodate so large a number of cars five or ten years later. Finally, a government should consider the relation between economic development and environmental protection, leaving more green lands to our descendants. (129 words)

To sum up, economic development and environmental protection do not contradict each other. If a government is responsible, it should make no efforts to give people a comfortable living environment and dedicate to economic development as well. (30 words) (293 words totally)

8．Some people believe that history is little or nothing to people. Others think that people must study history to understand the present. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

翻译：一些人认为历史对我们几乎或者完全没用。其它人相信学习历史帮助我们了解现在。讨论这些观点并给出你自己的观点。

抛砖：的确，今天或者明天可能跟历史完全不同，这是一些人认为历史对我们几乎或者完全没用的原因。不过我更相信，历史能帮助我们了解现在，预测未来。从个人角度上看，研究其它人的个人历史，可以提供参考，有助于设定自己的事业方向。如果你想作美国总统，首先要看看其它美国总统的成长经历，无论他是乔治·布什还是巴拉克·奥巴马。

而从国家的角度上讲，中国属于后发国家，之前世界上已经有很多相对比较成功的国家，比如英国和美国，也有一些经历了失败的国家，比如俄罗斯，中国发展的时候可以参考这些国家发展的历史，规避一些常见的错误。当然，中国是个历史悠久的国家，对中国自身历史的研究，也有助于找到自己发展的特色。

学习历史对个人和国家来讲都有重要意义。

History is more than the old stories, myths, or an academic subject for the scholars to write papers or books. Like many other sciences, history not only tells people what have happened before but also functions as a compass to lead human beings in the right course.

One of the most important roles that the study of history plays in solving the current human affairs is that it functions as a “rearview mirror”.It shows what is behind you so that you can move forward easily. History is, in essence, the people and their activities, both physical and psychological, in the past. If we accept that the past and the present are not entirely separated, then we have to admit the value of history. Our ancestors have suffered the same troubles, such as disease, disaster, or devil, as what we are confronted with, and their experiences, knowledge, and understanding of nature provide us with invaluable wisdom.

It is true that a fewer people claim that history helps people little in unlocking the current problems. They might give a long list of assumed “evidence”. For instance, they say that environmental issues are new, globalization unprecedented, political or economical conflicts fresh, and the like. Nevertheless, t hey have failed to see that in essence these problems are what our forefathers have experienced. Today people are suffering the same old trouble of poverty, wars, and mental crisis.

Therefore, reading history, at least we can find some clues t o solve these problems.

9．International tourism now is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, it creates tension rather than understanding between the peoples from different cultures.(此篇09年5月30日预测中在G类大作文，相对不重要了)

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?

----------argumentation-----totally 353 words-------------------

Tourism can create jobs and other opportunities for almost all communities. Therefore, Governments worldwide have worked out many incentives aimed at developing overseas market. Personally I believe, tension is always accompanied with influxes of foreign visitors, which has already overshadow ed understanding achieved via travel. (44words)

Let me start by talking about the tension brought by international

tourism. Last Independence Day Festival, I, followed by a couple of friends, traveled to a small county located in Bolivia. Surprisingly we happened to see thousands of people singing and dancing on the street. Three guys dressing in local costume swayed badly towards us, bringing drinking beer for us. Owing to our arrival in a totally new place, we declined to take any alcohol in case of being entrapped. Unexpectedly quarrels occurred as a consequence of language barrier. What's worse, one of them spitted on us, whose behavior turned our journey to be a trip of humiliation and resentment.As a matter of fact,the local residents were celebrating yearly Beer Festival. Our refusal was regarded as a bad manner to look down upon them. For this reason, I would infer that international tourists usually spend only one or two days staying in the same place. It is impossible for them to thoroughly have a good knowledge of the local culture. Consequently misconception and disputes happen frequently between peoples embodied with varied culture backgrounds. (185 words)

Now let me turn to the discussion of understanding gained on the tour. Generally a western tourist is fond of visiting different places with exploring different customs, particularly those primitive cultures in remote mountainous areas. Such an exploration can expose himself with more opportunities of communicating with local people, which might be considered as a good way to better understand the local culture. However, different interpretation and religion eventually would probably lead him to conclude that those odd traditions handed down generation by generation in the destined region are no more than a superstitious belief. Such understanding does little good to maintain sound relationship between nations. (106 words)

All in all, global travel should be discouraged until understanding amid peoples overwhelmingly outweighs negative effects like tension.(18 words)

Is It Necessary to Develop Tourism? 论据

Arguments

1. It is necessary to develop the tourist trade, for it contributes a lot to increasing understanding between nations.

2. As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.”Only a trip to an unfamiliar land can help us understand the people and culture there.

3. Since tourism helps increase understanding between people, it will finally wipe out prejudice against other nations, and make the world a more peaceful one.

4. Tourism contributes significantly to many countries' GNP (Gross National Product). The economy of some nations is based on the tourist industry.

5. Tourism helps develop a nation’s commerce because tourists are most likely to buy souvenirs wherever they go.

6. Tourism provides jobs for many people and helps solve or ease the social problem of unemployment.

7. Tourism helps accelerate a city's construction and its embellishment.

8. Contact with tourists from afar widens the horizon of the local people.

9. The tourist trade gives people a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world and the wonders of manki12

10. Tourism will help people learn about different cultures of the world.

Counter-arguments

1. Tourism cannot increase understanding between nations because tourists are often trapped in big hotels and only gaze at the natives from a distance.

2. Tourism does not wipe out prejudice, but leads to the persistence of national stereotypes because when traveling, you notice only characteristics which confirm your preconceptions.

3. It is true that foreign friends can make people understand stereotypes are absurd a nd harmful, but the tourist trade prevents people from making foreign friends.

4. Since tourists do not have time to mix with the local people, they cannot have a full view of the local culture.

5. Tourism makes some parts of the world too crowded a place to live in.

6. Tourism creates pollution and has destroyed many beautiful scenic spots.

7. Tourists cannot have a full enjoyment of the beautiful scenery because the places they visit are restricted by organizers.

8. As the saying goes, “Travel makes a wise man better, but a fool worse.”

9. Contact with and assimilation of other cultures will reduce the uniqueness of one’s own culture and make the world less colourful than before.

Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourist industries. Why is the case? Is it a positive development?

当前，人们对发展中国家大力发展旅游业的原因以及这是否有利展开了热烈的讨论。在我看来，我确信它是积极的发展。在这篇文章中，我将在以下段落对其原因进行分析。

Currently, there is a hot discussion about the reasons why there are developing countries in growing number expanding tourist industries and whether it is a positive development or not.As far as I am concerned, I am convinced that it is a positive development. In this essay, I will make an analysis of the reasons in the following paragraphs.(考试大) 首要的原因是，旅游业是很多发展中国家财政收入的主要来源，财政上对这些国家的经济发展很有利。例如，中国需要大量的外汇来执行现代化建设计划。旅游业是获得外汇的最重要的渠道之一。此外，旅游业能促进餐饮业和交通运输业的发展。另外，旅游业还对国民收入和税收做出不可或缺的贡献。

The first and foremost reason is that, tourism, which becomes the principal source of financial revenue in many developing countries, is financially beneficial to the economic development. For instance, China needs an increasing amount of foreign currencies for its modernization drive. Tourism is one of the most crucial channels to obtain such currencies. Furthermore, tourism facilitates the development of the catering business and transportation service as well. Additionally, tourist industries make primary contribution to the national income and tax revenue.

其次，旅游业给旅游胜地的居民提供了更多的就业机会，这在某种程度上消除了一些社会问题。甚至是一些没有接受过教育的人也能靠卖纪念品或当地特产等谋生，这种想象在旅游景点相当平常，这减轻了当地政府的压力。

In the second place, tourism provides local habitants in tourist attractions with more opportunities of employment, which has eliminated some social problems to some extent. In the scenic spots, it is common that even the uneducated people can make a living simply by selling souvenirs, local specialties and so on, which relieves the pressure of local government.

最后，旅游业极大地增进了各个国家以及人民之间的友谊和相互了解，这毫无疑问将促进各国间今后在国际事务中的合作。旅游业给人们提供了一个更好的了解国外文化、历史以及习俗的机会。(考试大)

Last but not least, it is true that tourism contributes a great deal t o the friendship and mutual understanding between people from different countries, which will unquestionably enhance the future cooperation in international affairs. Tourism provides people with a good opportunity to have a better understanding of the culture, history and customs in foreign countries.

总之，发展中国家发展旅游业有相当大的益处，因为它不仅在经济的发展，同时也会在政治发展方面起到积极的作用。

All in all, it is of great benefit for developing countries to promote the tourist industry, for it will play a positive role in both the economic and political development of a country.

10. Government should protect culture. Therefore, some people believe that new building should be built in traditional style. Do you agree or disagree?

范文1：The culture of a country changes in the course of social development. This is what is happening in developing nations such as China. Government has the obligation to preserve the culture of a country in a proper way.

In the real-estate business, for example, developers build houses, apartments, and offices to meet the demands of consumers differing in

taste and spending power. Some buildings are built in traditional style as a selling point to differentiate from competing products. In some cases, a municipal government tries to give its city a unique aroma by constructing buildings in old style. However, such newly built “old”buildings appear strikingly different from the originals centuries old. On the campus of Peking University, we can easily tell the differences between the old and the new. Even we admire t he university’s efforts, this is not a work beautifully done. More examples would be found in many architects that are ridiculed by both consumers and critics.

The real issue is: could culture be replicated? If yes, then to what extent do buildings represent a culture? In China, the more commonly known architect styles are found in temples or palaces.Though the government tries to recreate such places, people often label them as fake.

In spite of the disadvantages in government’s efforts in cultural preservation, we have to recognize that such endeavor reminds people of their unique identity and legacy. And it balances the trend that tries to make everything western just to keep up with the trend.

To sum up, it is very hard or sometimes impossible for the government to create truly good work in traditional style to preserve a culture. Nonetheless,such efforts are worthy because of the positive influences they have on people in a country with rich history and culture like China.

范文2：In modern cities, erections have become one of city’s identities, representing architect’s concept and people’s esthetic preference. Some people insist buildings should be built in more traditional styles, in order to highline the cultural identity, while some people believe it is unnecessary.

Admittedly, traditional styled buildings are cultural legacy of our ancestors, which represent a history of thousands years. But they falsely take the assumption that traditional building is the only type of architecture that reflects culture. Actually, a nation’s culture is constituted with a lot of elements, covering architecture, festivals and customs, and can be classified into historic culture and modern culture. Therefore, regarding traditional styled buildings as cultural identity is one-sided and partial.

I do agree that buildings should be designed as a symbol of a nation’s culture, but I don’t agree that the more traditional styled buildings, the more cultural distinctive our nation is. So, In my opinion, I suggest the government should develop multiple building styles, incorporating both the traditional style and the modern style. To begin with, our culture is developing with the time, which makes itself different from periods.

That’s why there are traditional style of old pried and modern style of nowadays.

Therefore,the combination of the traditional and the modern can fully unfold cultures of different eras. For example, most England cities I visited are pride for both their historic buildings and modern skyscrapers. Manchester’s imperial war museum, a perfect combination with history and modern design,has an external appearance like a flying machine and many internal exhibitions like a mysterious kingdom. What’s more, using modern architectural technology can help the government conserve old buildings better. Once all the historic architectural heritages are repaired, a clear vision of real traditional culture would be presented.

All things considered, I think a wise government should not neglect the significance of modern style in the cultural identity,and thus focus on the combination of traditional buildings and modern buildings.

11．In order to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

我完全赞成这个断言，即：要学好一门语言，我们还应该了解这门语言的国家、文化和人民的生活方式。

I fully support the assertion that to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.

先来看看我们一般情况下是如何定义“真正学好一门语言”的。按照我的理解，学好一门语言意味着能够妥当地使用它。这里，对于妥当使用它而言，我们需要知道：由于文化上的差异，很多东西会因此而非常不同。比如，中国人常通过问“吃了吗？”来表达问候，而这对于西方人来讲便构成了午饭或晚饭的邀请。因此，缺乏了对不同国家文化方面的知识，就会引起对所发送或接收到的信息的错误理解，结果便会导致误解。这样一来，我们就不能说我们讲得妥当，再进一步，我们就不能说我们讲得好。

Let’s first see how we normally define “learning a language really well”. By my understanding, learning a language well would mean being able to speak the language in a proper way.Here, with speaking it properly, we need to know that due to cultural differences, many things are just so different from culture to culture. For example, the Chinese often greet each other by asking ‘Have you taken your meal?’ which, to the Western ears, would make an invitation to lunch or dinner. Therefore, the lack of a knowledge of the cultures of different countries will give rise to wrong interpretations of the message issued or received and as a result, lead to misunderstandings. In this way, we can not say that we are speaking the language properly and further, we can not say that we speak it well.

第二，我们学习一门语言的最终目的是用它与讲这门语言的人进行交流，主要就是母语为这门语言的人。设想我们对美国或英国什么也不了解，包括其政府、人民、传统以及其它方面，你想你能妥当地讲英语，从而与美国人或英国人达到有效的交流吗？我要说：至少我是做不到的。

Second, the ultimate purpose for us to learn a language is to use it in our communication with other people who speak it, mainly the native speakers. Suppose we know nothing about the US or Britain, including its government, its people, its tradition, and its other aspects. Do you think you can speak English properly, thus achieving effective communication with the American or British people? I’ll say at least I can’t.

第三，我们还需要知道我们所学语言国家的人民的生活方式才能妥当地讲他们的语言。举个例子吧：中国人吃猪肉，但穆斯林不吃。还有，穆斯林宗教气氛浓郁，每天多次举行仪式。如果我们不知道这些事情的话又怎能指望与他们交流而不招致麻烦呢？按照这一逻辑，如果我们不能保证妥当地讲好他们的语言，我们又怎么说他们的语言我们学得很好呢？

Third, the lifestyle of the people whose language we are learning is also something we need to know in order that we can speak their language properly. For instance, the Chinese eat pork, but this is not the case with Muslims. Also, Muslims are very religious people and perform rituals many times a day. If we don’t know these things, how can we expect to communicate with them without incurring troubles? In this logic, if we cannot make sure that we are speaking their language properly, how can we say that we have learned their language well?

由此，我们可以得出结论了：学好一门语言，我们还必须了解这个国家以及这个国家的文化和其人民的生活方式。

From the above discussion, we can draw the conclusion that to learn a language really well, we also need to learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it.

版本2Some people think that a new language should be invented for people from different countries to use for the international communication. To what extent do you think its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages?

翻译：

我们是否应当为不同国家的人发明一种新语言用以国际交流？你认为好处是否多于问题？

抛砖：

发明一种新语言的好处不言而喻，世界上的人以后只学一种语言就能互相交流，会降低很多沟通成本。但是稍微理性点想想，问题多多。首先，怎样处理原来的语言，每种语言背后都有一段悠久的历史，消灭一种语言，就是消灭一种语言的所有文献，甚至是所有文化，这是一种极大的文化浪费。

其次，如果同时保存原来的语言，why bother去学一种新的语言呢？无论

多简单的语言，都需要花大量的时间和精力去学习，对于已经掌握国际语言，比如英语和汉语的人们，为什么花大力气再去学一种额外的语言呢？

再次，即使所有的人都willing去学这门语言，这门语言如何发明呢？现行的语言都是经过漫长的时间演化而来的，其机理到现在仍然没有完全研究清楚，发明这种新的语言是否有内在的问题，会不会在未来的使用中突然出现问题？这也是需要我们担忧的地方。

不过，十年前我们从来不敢想象今天电脑和手机会给我们的生活带来如此多的便利，未来产生全球性语言也未必完全不可能。

II.新增加的A大作文及范文

更新补充新题目：

1.Some people live in one community in their entire lives, others move

at least once; some quite often. Compare and contrast moving to different parts of the country versus living in one community in your entire life. Write about 250 words.

Some people live in one community all their lives, while others move around almost as much as nomads. Both experiences have their advantages and disadvantages.

People who stay in one spot can develop lifelong friendships, and such friends may lend a hand if trouble comes. They know each other's life history, and they judge each other for the kind of person each is, not for the image each projects. Yet spending a lifetime in one location can also lock a person into a limited way of life.Personal change may become very difficult. People with few experiences may develop a narrow outlook

and find it hard to understand those who have different ethnic, racial, or religious backgrounds.

On the other hand, moving to different parts of the country is usually stressful. A person may feel lost and uprooted in a place where streets, stores, schools, and churches all are different. At first there are no friends to help. However, those who do move learn that people in other places have a variety of outlooks. T here is a chance to appreciate different ways of life and even to choose the way one likes best.

For a person who moves to a different place year after year, the

disadvantages of moving probably outweigh the advantages. But a few moves are probably worth the effort. By staying in each place for a length of time, people can broaden their outlook but have enough time to make adjustment and form. friendships.

2. Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary but poor alternative to a natural environment. Is it necessary to keep animals in zoos?

In the modern society, zoos are almost indispensable places in large cities for people to visit. In some large zoos, there are various animals from space to sea and from primitive invertebrates to advanced and intelligent mammals. In the zoos, all animals, including those rare animals, such as panda, Africa elephant, and North-East tiger, could enjoy good care and protection away from any hurt. However, along with the stronger natural environmental protection consciousness, many people think that to put animals into small cages will change their living instincts, and therefore break the ecological balance.

Viewed from the basic relations between animals and human beings, animals should have the equal freedom with human beings. They are all forms of life. Animals have their own living instinct, and it is this instinct that forms the biological chain of the Earth. This relation is called “Ecological Balance” academically. For example, insect—bird—snake. If most birds in a region are killed and locked into cages by human beings, the pests will eat out all crops, and snakes will lose a large part of food resources, therefore leading to starvation and death.

This opinion sounds ideal theoretically.However in reality,human beings and other animals cannot stay together peacefully on the Earth. Because of human beings’ lust for fortune, many valuable animals are killed or sold, especially those endangered species. Therefore, zoos appear as an active way for people to protect those poor animals. First, this is an action not only for animals but also for human being itself. Once the biological chain is broken, human beings will be punished inevitably. Next, zoos can serve a purpose of educating and entertaining people, narrowing the distance between human beings and animals. Last, zoos can be a scientific study center to rescue more endangered spices and make animals better serve people’s need.

The key point of this topic is freedom or protection. In my opinion, those two aspects can be unified. It is necessary to keep animals in zoos for the purpose of protection, teaching and study. Let’s think it further, the purpose of all these actions is to make animals live happier, therefore, maintain the ecological balance, hence protect our own living environment.

Wild animals have no place in the 21st century. Some people think that preventing these wild animals from dying out is a waste of resource. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.
