Answer 1

There is some news that English may account for a lower proportion in our national college entrance examination, but I don’t think it has any effect on our English learning. English is still playing an important part in our daily life.
With the development of China’s economy, more and more people are rich enough to travel or study abroad. English is the first problem they are faced with. Besides, as devices and household appliances of foreign brands are flooding our daily life, English takes a more important part. What’s more, armed with a good command of English, we will be better prepared for the challenges of globalization.
However, reducing the English section is good for us students. It helps to lessen our academic burden. But this change does not mean English study can be ignored. Being tested for less score doesn’t mean the subject can be taken lightly. In my opinion, the national enthusiasm for English will keep on.

解析試題分析：本文是一篇材料作文，開放性作文。所給材料雖然新穎，但是所談的話題考生卻非常熟悉，寫起來有話可說。寫好本篇作文的難點有兩個：一是怎么用簡短的話吧“這則新聞”的內容說清楚；二是就“這則新聞”的內容就“自己認識方面”談談理由。至于“談談你對英語學習的認識”則相對要容易得多。另外文章用典型的三段式，要注意段與段之間的順利過渡。
【亮點說明】范文采用典型的三段式：揭示話題、談對英語學習的認識和陳述理由。范文第一段用兩句話就揭示了話題，并恰到好處地過渡到下一段。第一句話句子非常長，多達30字，充分顯示了作者駕馭句子的高超能力。這是一個并列復合句：“but”連接的并列句和兩個名詞性從句(同位語從句：that English may account for a lower proportion in our national college entrance examination和賓語從句：it has any effect on our English learning.)。第二句話是個簡單句與第二段內容進行無縫對接。第二段過渡詞句(Besides,what’s more等)的運用和各種各樣短語(With the development of, more and more, are faced with, takes a more important part ,with a good command of ,be better prepared for等)的運用為文章增色不少。第三段用三句話簡潔明了談了自己的理由。并用一句話“In my opinion, the national enthusiasm for English will keep on.”來總結升華本篇文章的主題，為這篇文章做出了圓滿的收尾。
