Question

當今過洋節(jié)成了年輕人的一種時尚，中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日備受冷落。為了彰顯民族文化的優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)，中國的一些傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日已經被定為法定假日了。為了進一步擴大傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的影響，你要寫一篇不少于100詞的短文來提議將乞巧節(jié)作為法定節(jié)日。短文中需要有你的觀點以及支持你的觀點的依據或理由。
短文的要點有：
1．當今人們對于中西方節(jié)日的態(tài)度；
2．乞巧節(jié)來歷（又叫七夕節(jié)，農歷七月初七，牛郎織女相會，源于漢代）；
3．你的觀點以及支持這個觀點的理由。
參考詞匯：情人節(jié)Valentine’s Day; 農歷lunar

Answer 1

One possible version:
It’s wrong for young people only to seek western festivals but forget all about Chinese traditional festivals. We should have Qiqiao Festival instead of Valentine’s Day.
Qiqiao Festival, or Double seventh Festival, on the 7^th day of the 7^th lunar month, which is known as Chinese Valentine’s Day, which is a traditional festival full of romance in China. It comes from the beautiful Chinese love story about Niulang and Zhinu, who meet each other once a year on this day. Chinese people have been celebrating this festival since the Han Dynasty.
I believe it a good idea to make this festival a legal holiday since it is part of our traditional culture. The long history and the way it is celebrated tell people what true love is and show how we value love in a Chinese way.

試題分析：本文是篇材料作文，給出寫作的要求和要點，學生很容易把握文章的結構和寫作要點。考生在寫作之前必修認真審題，首先確定人稱，文章要求有你的觀點，所以用第一人稱。其次要確定時態(tài)，文章要求客觀介紹乞巧節(jié)來歷并陳述把它作為法定節(jié)日的理由，所以要用一般現在時。再次是確定文體，文章要求先敘述乞巧節(jié)，再提出把乞巧節(jié)作為法定節(jié)日，說明依據或理由，可知是夾敘夾議的議論文。最后確定篇章結構（用三段式）：首段，當今人們對于中西方節(jié)日的態(tài)度；第二段，乞巧節(jié)來歷；第三段，我的觀點是把乞巧節(jié)定為法定假日及我的理由。再有就是不能根據材料逐字逐句的翻譯應該注意句子的銜接，以提高作文的檔次�？忌�在寫作時要根據寫作內容列要點：1、過洋節(jié)成了年輕人的一種時尚young people seek western festivals/ western festivals are popular with young people;2、中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日備受冷落forget all about Chinese traditional festivals/ Chinese traditional festivals are ignored;3、七夕節(jié)Double seventh Festival；4、農歷七月初七on the 7^th day of the 7^th lunar month；5、牛郎織女相會Niulang and Zhinu meet each other；6、源于漢代since the Han Dynasty/origin from the Han Dynasty；7、把乞巧節(jié)定為法定假日make Qiqiao Festival a legal holiday；8、乞巧節(jié)是傳統(tǒng)文化一部分Qiqiao Festival is part of our traditional culture；9、告訴人們什么是真愛tell people what true love is ；10、以中國方式珍惜愛value love in a Chinese way。最后，考生要利用各種句式和過渡詞連詞成句，連句成段，連段成篇。
【亮點說明】文中使用了能運用較高級的單詞和短語，如：seek, value, instead of, be popular with, 還運用了多樣化的句式和句法結構，使行文連貫，增添亮點，如：it作形式主語和形式賓語句型It’s  adj. for sb. to do sth.（It’s wrong for young people only to seek western festivals …），believe it +n. + to do sth.(I believe it a good idea to make this festival a legal holiday)；定語從句…which is known as Chinese…，…which is a traditional festival…，…who meet each other…,the way it is celebrated；時間狀語從句… since it is part of our traditional culture.，賓語從句tell people what true love is and show how we value love in a Chinese way。
