Task-based Writing―Argumentation
阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The generation gap between students and their teachers is becoming more significant with only 3. 3 per cent out of a survey group of 1 000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.
In today’s educational environment teachers are considered to be the authority figure for learning instead of also becoming a good friend in the lives of students.
As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial(偏心).
“I feel sad to hear such remarks” said Yu Yi a well-known special-class teacher.
She recalled that in the past teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.
“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (传授) but also where students are taught how to be an upright(正直的) person” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state.”
Yang Xiong，director of the Juvenile ['dʒu:vinail] Research Institute（青少年研究所）， said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially [səb'stænʃ(ə)li]（实质上）responsible. (216 words)

Love and Concern Make Ideal Relationship
According to the passage we can know students are becoming unwilling to confess（坦白） to their teachers because they are not equal in position and teachers lay too much emphasis on the academic performances of the students.（ 36 words）
As far as I’m concerned, I am willing to share my inner thoughts with my teachers. For one thing, they show love and concern for their students and are good listeners. For another, I always find it easy to seek support and advice from them, from which I benefit and learn a lot. （53 words）
In this case, an ideal relationship between teachers and students is very important. In my opinion, this relationship should be one filled with love, care and understanding, in which teachers and students show respect for each other and exchange ideas freely. To build a relationship of this kind, teachers should become friends of students while students ought to place more trust in their teachers and give voice to their feelings frankly.
（71 words）
To sum up, only in this way can we enjoy a harmonious relationship between teachers and students. （17 words）
2009年高考英语备考要诀及最新热点作文预测
1、工夫和功夫
现在高考特别强调以能力立意命题，注意对学生理论联系实际和创新意识的考查。由此，同学们的功夫要想达到高考所需要的高度，单纯地靠拼时间、搞题海、死记硬背等做法已不适应新的考试要求。所以，同学们不能只以学了多长时间为目的，而是要看有多少是有效时间，更要看是否在能力上有所提高。
当然，功夫是要有工夫做保障的，所以，要想学习好，就不能偷懒，就要多学多练。而且，要学得聪明，要反思自己的学习，要问一问自己学得是否有长进？对自己的弱科弱项是否有主动补习的计划？是否充分利用了学习资源等等。
2、做题和写题
同学们每天都忙于做题，但往往只重数量却忽视了质量，只关注会做不会做、结果对不对，却忽视了其他更加重要的，比如书写、思路的总结。
书写规范也是思维能力和逻辑推理能力的体现，对提高理性解题能力非常有帮助。由于同学们使用的教辅资料预留书写空间太少，要尽量主动选择一些题目规规矩矩书写解答过程。建议每科自备一个“好题本”，将经典题目及其解答过程规范书写下来，并经常翻看此本，定会受益匪浅。
平时还要多看一些有详尽解答过程的例题。先独立念题、审题、分析，找出解题路径，然后和答案对照。对一些典型例题不能只满足于看明白，要独立默写出解答过程，这样既可以培养书写能力又可培养对题目背景深刻理解的能力，还是检验是否真会的有效措施。
3、听明白和想明白
许多同学常苦恼于课上听老师讲得很明白，可一到自己做题怎么就不会了呢？事实上，听得明白是你在老师一步一步的引领下明白的，这并不是你自己真实能力的体现，更不代表你已经具备了解决这些问题的能力。因此，要想提高分析问题解决问题的能力，就必须在“听明白”的基础上进一步去“想明白”。“听明白”只能说你被别人说服了，而“想明白”是自己说服自己，是真正弄明白，想明白更是对基础知识和基本技能进行加工、浓缩、提炼、升华，形成综合能力的关键。所以，课上要积极思考，课下要及时再想一想。

请你结合上表,写一篇英语短文,谈谈自己的看法.
In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped
out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among
people across the country.
According to a survey conducted by Tencent
Website, about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when
injured since health is much more important than a gold medal; While nearly 20%
of the netizens believe that an injured athlete
should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sport
field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his
or her country in spite of any difficulty.
In my opinion, it’s a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit
the race. For one thing, nothing is more important than health and sports
doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s health for a gold medal; for another, after Liu
Xiang recovers fully, he still has many chances to realize his dream.
热点2:北京奥运
经过运动员们16天的激烈拼搏,第29 届奥运会于2008年8月24日在北京落下帷幕.中国运动员发挥出色,获得了51枚金牌,为中国赢得了巨大的荣誉.奥运会期间,有很多值得我们回味的地方.你作为一名中学生―李华,围绕奥运会对人类的影响,谈一下自己的看法,题目自拟.
注意:词数120左右.
What a

The 29th Olympic Games has been over in
It is our athletes’ intelligence and other qualities that have won
the great honor for us Chinese all! Days when we were looked down upon have
gone forever! From the very Games, we have proved that our government has the
ability to hold the Olympic Games successfully! Not only can we hold the
Olympic Games well, but also we can perform well. The fact has showed
everything to the world! It is the successful 29th Olympic Games that destroys
the saying of those who doubted about it days ago! What a great, successful and
impressive Olympic Games!
热点3: 翟志刚首次太空行走

main mission is to carry out the space walk, known as an extra-vehicular
activity, or EVA, which is expected to help China master the technology to
create it’s first space station in the next few years. During the traveling, Zhai Zhigang, one of the three

Dear Mr. Wang,
We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid
foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so
please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we
need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points
which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we
forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in
natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order
that we can do it more efficiently.
By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on
our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from
time to time.
热点5：奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题
近几年，奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题引起了广泛的社会关注。有些人支持这种做法，认为运动员们付出了很多努力，应该得到回报；有些人则持反对意见。请你就此写一篇100词左右的英语短文并发表自己的看法。
In recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes to pocket
large sums of money has aroused more and more discussion.
Those who support giving sportsmen high salaries think that athletes
have won a great reputation for our country in the Olympic Games. What’s more,
athletes must undergo painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides,
they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical
activities.
However, some people have different ideas. They consider that
athletes do little to boost the national economy directly. Thus they should not
receive so much money.
I believe that they should get high salaries, considering all the
efforts they have made.
热点6：高考状元与广告
高考过后，总有一些学习用品商家千方百计在高考状元身上下工夫，让状元们说是使用过他们的产品后才取得了优异成绩。请你用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，谈谈自己的看法。内容应包括以下要点：
1. 简要描述这种现象； 2. 给状元们提一点建议。
注意：
1. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
2. 参考词汇：状元 Number One Scholar；产品 product；适合suitable
After the college entrance exams, some companies that sell learning
products are always trying to do anything they can to make full use of Number
One Scholars in order to sell their products.
In fact, it’s not easy for students to become Number One Scholars.
Most of them succeed not because of the products, but their proper way of
learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying, so the
Number One Scholars’ experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most
important of all, not all of these products are good enough to help us study.
I do hope that Number One Scholars can think of the poor students
instead of themselves only.

Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

This form displays the result of a survey on how to spend students’ weekend. It says that few students are glued to their schoolwork any more. Instead, they prefer to surf on the internet, watch TV, go shopping rather than involve in sports games. Library and interest groups are available but not favourable.
Personally I think, students are now freed from heavy burden but their spare time is not well arranged. They are expected to spend some time on what they learn instead of hanging out. More time should be spent not only on green field but also in the libraries to build up themselves physically and mentally. Besides, more interest groups should be established for students to widen their horizon and sharpen their brains so that they can become more creative eventually. All these will contributes a lot to a well-informed and highly qualified teenager.
In conclusion, students should be more scheduled with colorful and fruitful activities.

范文 (One possible version)
I am Li Ming of Senior Three,
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)
