100个人物事件写作素材(一)

100个人物事件写作素材(一)1、湖南长沙县的张晓勇年考上清华大学,1996年毕业后被知名外企录用,2001年,“为了照顾年迈的父母”,他又辞去外企管理工作,回到长沙一家物业公司做保安内勤。
“保安哥”不高高在上,放下身段尽显亲情的举动值得我们学习。
21世纪的今天,随着社会发展,空巢老人越来越多,更多年迈的父母需要子女的关怀,常回家看看成为很多父母的期盼,父母不是需要物质的满足,更多需要一种精神食粮。
从这个层面来说,“保安哥”为了照顾父母,选择亲情放弃前程的情怀让我们为之感动。
(亲情、孝心)2、“沈阳大爷“王福顺在人行道上被一名骑电动车的男子撞倒后。
男子停车询问大爷是否需要就医,大爷对撞人者说:“孩子,我没事,我有医保,你赶紧上班去吧。
”事后媒体采访才发现他是一名保安,月薪只有1750元,根本没有医保,他这样说只是为了给撞人的小伙子解围。
这位宽容的大爷被无数网友成为“中国好大爷”。
一句短短的话语,为别人驱走了黑暗,带来融融的暖意。
(宽容美德)3、那一年,郑州菜农韩红刚看着卖不出去的萝卜,做出了一个决定:与其让萝卜烂在地里,不如免费让市民免费拨萝卜。
于是市民像蝗虫一般涌来,把韩红刚种的六十多万斤萝卜哄抢一空,还把他套种的红薯也偷去了三四万斤。
不过,在巨大的损失面前,韩红刚没有埋怨,他在朋友的帮助下开了微博。
微博里,他甚至希望那些没有抢到萝卜的市民能够原谅他。
他真情的付出得到了回报——在热心市民和媒体的帮助下,郑州市民为韩红刚摆起了红薯摊。
结果,红薯热卖。
(国民素质、以怨报德、付出回报)4、近日,一车主违停,前挡风玻璃上留下一张“小孩急看病”的纸条,交警巡查发现后,开了一张警告单,并留言回复“人来后速将车移走”。
这位交警采取了人性化的执法手段,这让我们看到的是执法的人性化,感受到的是不再教条执法的温暖。
(人性化执法)5、近日,湖南的博士后向忠诚放弃高薪职位,转而卖起了包子。
过了而立之年选择重新创业,这位博士后看中的是什么呢?中华饮食文化源远流长,曾滋养了多少代人的成长。

写作教程(一)unit-1标准答案Unit 1PART Ⅱ FOCUSDenotation and ConnotationSuggested answer to the questionIf it is your teacher, most probably you will choose b, as the word portly has an implication of a more or less dignified and imposing appearance (e.g. an elderly gentleman, large and portly). However, if it is a doorkeeper, an amiable middle-aged woman, you may choose the word plump as it implies a pleasing fullness of figure (e.g. the plump goddesses of Renaissance paintings). From this exercise we can conclude that words that share the same denotative meanings can be diverse in their connotative meanings.Reference for the Classroom Activities1.father: the male parent.

雅思写作第一部分满分攻略

雅思写作第一部分满分攻略雅思写作第一部分满分攻略TASK 1写作三大步骤(1)审题:找出主要信息点,具体为两个任务:A: 辨别所要写图表的类型,是线状(line ),柱状(bar ),还是饼状(pie)等B: 找图表的主要内容,是人口变化,交通工具,受教育水平,或者是一项工艺的制作流程。
(2)构思:审题是对文章主要内容的一个大概认识,而构思就是对自己认识的进一步深化。
构思的主要任务为:分析图表的主要特征,弄清写作重点并选用适当的分析方法。
图表的主要特征是指其所描述现象或者问题的规律,并找出描述重点,不是图表上所出现的所有信息都要写出来,之后就是分析方法的选择,主要的分析方法有:数据分类,数据比较,平铺直叙法等,具体选哪种,需要根据图表的内容来确定。
(3)写作:写作是对前两个步骤的确认。
考生把自己的想法准确而详细的落实下来。
一般来说,这个部分的写作可以采用三或四段式:1)引言段(用简短的语言来描述图表的主要内容)。
一把来说,写作命题会给出的主要信息,如,The line chart below shows thegrowth of households with personal computers in the U.S.通过这句话,我们可以了解图表的主要信息,“美国每个家庭所拥有计算机量的增长变化。
”在这种情况下,考生可以重现组织一下这个具体,在中间加入一些具体的数字和变化年限等,使得阅卷老师一下就明白图表的主要内容。
引言段通用句式如下:This is a table / chart / (line线状 bar柱状pie饼状)graph whichdemonstrate / illustrate / reveal /depict/privide informationabout.............2)图表具体信息描述段:这个段落主要描写体现图表主要特征或总体变化规律的数据或信息,并用恰当的连接词语,如,on contrast , on theotherhand, however, like wise 等,把文章内容紧密的衔接起来。
实用写作第一章

一、实用写作的概念写作是对文字、文章撰写活动的统称。
按照社会功能将写作划分为两大类型:一类是供欣赏、阅读的文艺性文体的写作;一类是解决生活、工作、学习中实际问题的实用性文体的写作。
实用文是行为主体在社会生活中,为处理事务和交际需要而形成并使用的具有惯用格式的普遍通行的实用性文体。
(一种工具)实用写作(文体)=应用文体+新闻文体+理论文体什么是应用文?所谓应用文,也称文书,它是组织、家庭和个人在日常工作、生产、学习和生活中,为办理公私事务而形成并使用的、具有直接实用价值和一定惯用文章体式的文字材料(或叫文字信息载体)。
从这个概念中可以了解应用文的涵义:一是制发应用文的主体,包括党政机关、社会团体、企事业单位,及家庭和私人;二是使用应用文的环境,包括日常工作、生产、学习和生活环境;三是形成、使用应用文的范围,办理公务和私事时均可使用;四是应用文的本质属性:直接的实用价值(能解决实际问题);五是应用文的外观形态:一定惯用文章体式(约定俗成的格式,固定的表达方式,规定的不同文种)。
二、实用文的作用(一)明法传令作用在公务文书中,有相当一部分是用于公布法律和行政法规的。
公文“是依法行政和进行公务活动的重要工具”。
在现实生活中,实用文在加强社会主义法制、维护社会秩序上发挥着法规准绳作用。
(二)领导指导作用党政机关、企事业单位、群众团体,都在特定的范围内担负着组织、指挥、管理的职责,而实施这些职责的基本工具,就是公文。
在党政公文中,命令、决定、决议、批复等文种,就属于指挥、管理性的下行公文。
(三)联系沟通作用公务文书、事务文书等实用文,是各种政务、业务信息的主要载体。
实用写作的联系和沟通作用,使得全社会这个网络系统成为协调运转的有机整体。
(四)宣传教育作用实用文无论是对上还是对下,从广义上讲,都是在做宣传,它可以促进领导下决心、及时决断,动员群众正确执行政策、决定。
(五)凭证依据作用实用文的凭证依据作用,在不同文种中都有不同程度的表现。

Suppose you are making an entry in your diary about a meeting held last Friday. Which of the following two sentences would you write?
The meeting adjourned at 5 p.m. without any consensus being reached.
A common belief among students is that formality is a virtue. A passage filed with multi-sylable words is often admired with jealousy, while one written in general words is rejected as plain and simplistic. The truth is, as George Orwell , a famous British essayist, once said,“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity,”which refers to a pretentious and bloated way of writing. Therefore, the best policy is to use general words in most cases and formal words in specific, formal contexts .

Underline the topic sentence in each of the following paragraphs.The forest is a sanitary agent. It is constantly eliminating impurities from the earth and the air. Trees check, sweep, and filter from the air quantities of filthy, germ-laden dust. Their leaves absorb poisonous gases from the air. Roots assist in drainage, and absorb impurities from the soil. Roots give off acids, and these acids, together with the acids released by the fallen, decaying leaves, have a sterilizing effect upon the soil. Trees help to keep the earth sweet and clean, and water which comes from a forested watershed is likely to be pure. Many unsanitary areas have been redeemed and rendered healthy by tree planting.She was an old woman and lived on a farm near the town in which I lived. All country and small-town people have seen such old women, but no one knows much about them. Such an old woman comes into town driving an old worn-out horse or she comes afoot carrying a basket. She may own a few hens and have eggs to sell. She brings them in a basket and takes them to a grocer. There she trades them in.She gets some salt pork and some beans. Then she gets a pound or two of sugar and some flour. Afterwards she goes to the butcher' s and asks for some dog-meat. She never visits with any one, and as soon as she gets what she wants she starts for home.The need for humane studies, both in themselves and for scientists and professional men, is greater than it ever was. In international affairs and in a world where we have already reached the point where we can annihilate ourselves, the problem that we face will certainly not be solved by better and better weapons in the hands of opposing armed nations. They will be solved by a better understanding of men, by a public educated and enlightened enough to support that diplomacy. Until that solution appears, our governments must continue to arm and to develop weapons against the idiotic possibility of war, but our only hope of a long-term peace comes not from better weapons, but from humane agreement between men and nations.VI. Supply a topic sentence for each of the following paragraphs:There are two methods to get what you want.------------------------------------------------.One is to make yourself so useful that others are glad to pay you, or give you what you want, in return for your service or your product; the other is to make yourself so dangerous that others will be afraid to refuse what you demand. The one appeals to good will; the other to fear. The one is constructive; the other is destructive. The one is the method of civilized mend; the other is the method of savages.A cat is different from a dog----------------------------------. A dog will follow his master anywhere, but a cat keeps to the house it is used to: and even when the house changes hands, the cat will remain there, so long as it is kindly treated by the new owners. A cat does not seem to be capable of the personal devotion often shown by a dog. It thinks most of its own comfort, and its love is only cupboard love.Everyone must be careful when driving cars------------------------------------------. Only last year I witnessed what might have been a fatal accident on the Beijing-Chengde Road. I was motoring up from Beijing; and as I neared Chengde, I came upon the wreckage of two cars on the road. The smash had been caused by a car coming down, which swept round a sharp corner at eighty kilometers an hour and crashed into a car coming up. Happily no one was killed; but several were badly injured, and the two cars were wrecked. To drive at such a speed down a twisting mountain road is simply courting disaster.Different colour has different meaning-----------------.Red, for example, is the color of fire, heat, blood and life. People say red is an exciting and active color. They associate red with a strong feeling like anger. Red is also used for signs of danger, such as stop signs and fire engines. Orange is the bright, warm color of leaves in autumn. People say orange is a lively color. They associate orange with happiness. Y ellow is the color of sunlight. People say it is a cheerful color. They associate yellow, too, with happiness. Green is the cool color of grass in spring.People say it is a refreshing color.。

But as these disasters happen thousands of miles away from them and because they don’t affect their own life, they are not traumatized by them. If a flood killed their own close friends, they would be more emotionally upset.Revised version 2When we read about a natural disaster in another country, it hardly affects us.

The other characters at the scene use general and colloquial vocabulary that is appropriate for the context.2) No. Here the obvious switch from a formal to a highly colloquialstyle shows Liza in a transitional stage. She does not see that her learned comment on the weather is inappropriate. And when the subject changes into influenza, she forgets she is supposed to be a lady and reverts to(回归) her natural speech, which incidentally is much more expressive and colorful than her phony formality(假装正式).2. 1) play a minor role/be a uility man 2)That’s Greek to me. 3)belated action/advice 4)Where there is smoke there’s fire. 5)an evil creature 6)walk into the trap 7)on e’s face glowing with health3. 1) We must practice economy./ We must reduce unnecessary expenditure.2) It is essential to control environmental pollution.3) We must arrive at the station on time.4) Financial expenditures should be arranged in order of priority.5) We must speed up constructions of urban housing so as to improve the housing condition.6) To be allowed to make profits, private capital has to meet twoconditions: the profits must be legal, and they must not be excessive.7) During the period of the Tenth Five-Y ear Plan we must never neglect grain production.

Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, women have achieved equal status with men, which is established by the law. But in fact, they still can’t enjoy equal rights with men.At home, wives are expected to do all the housework, which is obviously unfair. Husban and wife should share the housework and family responsibilities. But in some families husbands usually get angry when they find the cleaning or cooking unfinished by their wives. One can’t help wondering why they don’t do it by themselves.I think women should be spiritually and financially independent if they want real equality. In order to do that, they have to learn as much as men so as to find a good job. Appearance is no longer important to women. It is their ability that can bring them a good job rather thantheir appearance. So I think the best way for women to win more rights is to receive good education.5.1)me2) who 3)I 4)me/myself 5)me 6)each other’s 7)who 8)us9)whom 10)some 11)one’s 12)his 13)his 14)his, his6. 1) We are all born into this world as equals, but for various reasons, not all of us are treated as equals. This inequality begins when we reach the age of ive, for this is when we will enter elementary school. In school, we are no longer “Mommy’s little darling.”We now have to prove ourselves to the other children and also to our teacher. If we seem different from the other students, we are treated differently, and these differences could be anything: pants, shoes, speech, religion, and so forth. Right from the start, we think that as long as we are different, there is something wrong with us.Unit 3Part IIConciseness Classroom activities2. 1) Xianming High School has a faculty that do their jobs well.2) One of the requirements is a term paper of three thousand words on asubject of your choice.3) College is difficult to adjust to because you are left on your own tosolve many problems.4) A career in the Army has both advantages and disadvantages.
