Answer 1

【答案】World Book Day is a yearly event on April 23, the aim of which is to encourage more people to form the habit of reading.

To begin with, reading books enriches our mind and teaches us how to distinguish between right and wrong. What’s more, it broadens our horizons and gives us wisdom as well, which helps us live more wisely. Last but not least, it can also bring us more imagination than watching TV or surfing the Internet can do.

Since reading books is so beneficial to us, we can make it an essential part of our life. One is never too old to learn. No matter what time you realize the importance of reading books, you can enjoy it!

【解析】本文是一篇关于世界读书日的发言稿。发言稿一般由称呼语、正文和结束语三部分组成，开头和结尾一般有固定的格式。正文常分为三部分：第一部分开门见山地提出本人要谈的问题及对问题的看法。第二部分说明理由。第三部分照应开头，总结全文。可以对全文作简明扼要的总结，也可以谈自己的感想、看法或期望。由于发言稿在命题形式上侧重于考查正文的写法，所以写正文时要注意：条理要清晰，适当增加关联词和细节。语言要简洁明快，少用复杂句，多用简单句。话说的要准确、易懂，最好运用大众语言。但文中的句型也要善于变化，不要过于单一。

【本文亮点】1、开头开门见山，点明主题。2、主体部分论据充分，层次清楚。to begin with， what’s more， last but not least等关联词的使用，连接紧凑自然。3、措辞准确，句式多变。简单句和复合句穿插使用，使文章简洁生动又错落有致。另外，恰当运用了多个高级词汇和短语，如enrich our mind , distinguish between right and wrong，bring us more imagination，beneficial，essential等的运用，为文章增色不少。
