Born in 1935, Mr. Smith spent his childhood in a mining village in a state. When he was a child, he hated school but had a talent for writing and he wrote his first poems. After his leaving school, he did his first job in a village shop for six years. During this period, he wrote a large number of poems in accordance with his own experiences and mental activities. Later, he left for S city in 1957 and published poems and his first novel. Delightfully, his works were popular when they published and he became a famous writer at once. However, he found that his life was meaningless though he led a luxurious life and started becoming depressed. Consequently, he first committed suicide unsuccessfully in 1960.
史密斯先生出生于1935年，他的童年是在州内的采矿村度过的。当他还是个孩子的时候，他讨厌学校但却有写作的天赋，他写了他的第一首诗。他离开学校后，他的第一份工作是在一个村里的商店工作了六年。在这期间，根据自己的经历和心理活动，他写了大量的诗歌。后来，他在1957年去了S市，出版了诗歌和他的第一部小说。令人高兴的是，发表后他的作品很受欢迎，他立刻成为一个著名的作家。然而，他发现虽然他过着奢华的生活但自己的生活是毫无意义的，他开始变得沮丧。因此，在1960年他第一次自杀失败。
Later, Mr. Smith got married when he was 30, but his family life was not so happy because the couple did not have a common goal in marriage. Thus, he divorced his wife quickly and moved to another state to start a new life. But his works lost earlier popularity as time elapsed. Hence, he had to find another way to make a living. When he was fighting for his new life at the age of 32, Cupid fired another arrow at him—he fell in love with a girl at first sight. He ran after her fanatically. At last, they had a love child and moved back to his home state in 1972.
后来，史密斯先生在他30岁的时候结婚了，但他的家庭生活并不是很开心，因为他们在婚姻中没有一个共同的目标。因此，他很快和妻子离婚了，他也搬到了另一个国家开始新的生活。但他的作品不像早期那样受欢迎了。因此，他必须找到另一种谋生的方式。当他在32岁为生活奋斗的时候，丘比特的爱情之箭又射向他，他一见钟情爱上了一个女孩。他狂热地追求她。最后，他们有了一个孩子并在1972年搬回他的家乡。
However, there is a crook in the lot of every one. With the growth of his son, Mr. Smith found that his life was so empty and boring in that he could not write any poems any longer, let alone published them. As the result, he committed suicide in 1975, at the age of 40.
然而，人生总有不如意的时候。随着他儿子的成长，史密斯先生发现他的生活是如此的空虚和无聊，因为他无法再创作了，更不用说出版了。结果，他在1975年自杀，享年40岁。
This question and another similar question， _Have you decided what you will do after you finish school?_ were among the most common questions people often asked me when I was a small child and then a student in school. Choosing the right career is very important. For this reason we should try to find out what our talents and interests are and how we can use them. There are many careers open to each of us. Many persons find their place in government service， and many others may be interested in going into the business world. Teaching， newspaper works， medicine， engineering， science -- these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
这个问题和另一个相似的问题_你决定完成学业之后做什幺了吗?_是我小时候和在学校时人们问得最多的一个问题。选择一个适当的职业是非常重要的。因此，我们必需找出自己的天赋和兴趣所在并且要知道如何加以利用。我们每个人都面临着许多职业选择。一些人在政府机构找到了他们的位置，而另一些人则可能喜欢在商界驰骋。教育、新闻、医药、工程、科学等和其它许多行业给都有才能的人提供了丰富的就业机会。
20xx年新颁布的高中英语学科高考考试说明中指出，高考英语作文新增材料作文，即读写任务型作文。具体要求是：给出一篇小短文，要求考生用约30字概括出其主要内容，再按接下来的具体要求进行写作。那么这样提高英语作文的分数呢？以下是三大提分技巧：
第一招：装点门户，即卷面与书写
漂亮清晰的书写与整洁的卷面会给人以赏心悦目之感，能为自己的作文赢得良好的第一印象分。此外，要注意高考英语答题纸上明确注明不能超出黑色边框区域。最后，写作中，学生难免有需要修改的地方，在考试中要注意用直线整齐的划去，尽量避免用水笔胡乱涂去，否则会给人以乱糟糟的第一印象。也要避免用一些特殊符号。装点好门户，为自己争取印象分，这是必不可少的第一步。
第二招：搭好脚手架，即内容与框架
首先，关于是否添加标题的问题，考生应该参照具体的写作要求。其次，分段问题。大原则就是除去头尾，几点几段。切忌段落不分，从头到尾仅一段。再者，就是谨慎审题。今年高考作文提供的材料是一篇议论文，典型的错误审题有：
1.写英文词典收录中文词汇。造成这种错误的原因是学生的思维定式覆盖了审题。如今，无论是BBC网站，还是国外重量级媒体，都的确多次直接引用中文，像“no zuo no die”(不作死就不会死)，“tuhao”(土豪)。高考写作考察的却是高考近期刚出的热点话题，考生也许未来得及关注，只是跟着自己的感觉走，不认真审题，就导致了全文偏题。
2.既写支持又写反对。写作内容第一点要求考生写支持或反对汉语词典收录英语词汇。所以，考生只能二选一，不可既支持又反对。
3.话题随意演变。有考生从第二段起开始写在日常生活中使用英语的重要或者不重要性。还有甚至直接谈英语取代中文的可能和不可能性。这些都属于不同程度的偏题现象。
4.首尾段符合写作要求，中间出现“打酱油”内容。
第三招：正确的审题与合理的框架布局是作文成功的前奏
要真正夺取作文的`高分，还必须从词汇，语法结构上下功夫，也就意味着考生必须从平时抓起，夯实基础，抓牢基本功，不能想写却写不出来，或者落笔就错。要取得高分作文，基础词汇，高级的词汇和高级的句型都是必备条件。
在作文中，动词时态语态错，句子结构错都属于大错，其他如介词，冠词，大小写，标点符号等属于小错。如基础词汇中，表明支持或反对的，应作 in favor of，但很多考生落笔就成了 favor of，这就属于动词错，因为be动词没有了。“反对”用 against，很多学生也容易误写成，同样属于动词错，属大错。因此，我们学生在平时训练中首先要将基础词汇，词组记准确了，并灵活运用。
学生还需在基础词汇过关的基础上穿插一些高级词组和句型。如，写某物很重要，important这个词就没有significant来得好，如果写作be of significance，可以看出学生对文字的应用能力相对要强。高级句型主要是指定语从句，状语从句，名词性从句，强调句，倒装句，虚拟语气，省略句等。如果在行文中恰当的穿插，就会为自己的写作锦上添花。高级词组及句型的使用是考生优秀作文的必要充分条件。
写作技巧指导
1.发言稿是介绍性说明文，在语言使用一定要准确简洁，通俗易懂，层次清楚，条理分明。介绍说明事物的内容关系要明确，要求逻辑性强。发言稿印版有开头语，正文和结束语三部分组成。开头语一般来说比较简单，目的就是吸引听众或读者的注意力。
发言稿的开头和结尾一般都有固定的的格式，如：
Dear friends,
I’m glad to introduce myself to you
.___________________________
That’s all. Thank you.
如果是熟悉的听众，头尾可以活泼一些，灵活一些，如：
(1)Good morning,/Good afternoon,everyone…
That’s all. Thank you.
( 2 )Good evening!Ladies and gentlemen..
That’s all. Thank you.
2.正文是发言稿的主体，主要是提供论点和相关的论据等，论点要明确，论据要充分有力。发言稿的正文常见形式：
第一部分：开门见山提出本人要谈的问题及对问题的看法;
第二部分：说明理由，常见的关联词有：First of all , Secondly, Finally等;
第三部分：照应开头，总结全文。最后可以做简明扼要的总结，也可以谈自己的希望或看法等。常见的句式有：In short, In a word…等。
3.发言稿的语句表达要直接面对听众，尽量不要用复杂啰嗦的句子，更不要采用深奥难懂的句子。话要说的准确易懂，最好用大众语言。除了要求以简单句为主的同时，可以适当穿插一些复合句结构。由于文章要求以简单句为主，所以不要把文章写成单句的罗列，适当的使用关联词承前启后，可以使文章前后连贯，浑然一体。
发言稿的时态一般以现在时态为主。
常用句型
’d like to tell you something about our school.

Good morning ,everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Thoughts becoming a grow-up.’’
As a child, I always hoped that I could grow up as soon as possible so that I could have whatever I wanted and do whatever I liked. Now I’m a grow-up, but I find things do not go as I expected. Although I can enjoy more freedom, at the same time I realize that being a grown-up not only means this, but also more responsibilities. I hope to do more for my parents and society in the future to make my life more meaningful. To reach the the goal, I must first try my best to pass the College Entrance Examination and enter a good universityt.

Dear Jack，
①Glad to receive your email.
②As you know, there has been an activity of “Construction of an energysaving society” in our school recently. ③I think it is of vital importance because our society is faced with the increasing danger of lack of energy. ④Many reasonable suggestions are given during the activity.
⑤In my opinion, there’re many things we can do. ⑥In our daily life, we shouldn’t waste any food or paper. ⑦It is also advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. ⑧Besides, I think the government should make it a rule that used textbooks should not be thrown away when we graduate from school, because most of the books are in good condition and can be recycled.
⑨Actually, there are quite a lot that we can easily do, for example, try to take buses or bicycles instead of driving cars, etc. ⑩Only with joint efforts can we help to construct an energysaving society.
Yours，
Li Hua

I study in a college now, before I went to college, I spent a lot of time to figure out which major should I choose. After considering many factors, I choose English as my major. Now I have studied English for two years, I enjoy learning it a lot, I feel so lucky that I make the right choice.
我现在在一所大学学习，在我上大学前，我花了很多时间去弄清楚该选哪个专业。经过多方面的考虑，我选择了英语作为我的专业。现在我已经学习英语两年了，我很享受学习英语，我做出了正确的选择，我觉得很幸运。
I like to watch movie, Learning English can make me enjoy the movie much better. When I was in middle school, I like to watch the foreign movie on the TV, at that time, the movie I watched was in Chinese voice. Now I have learned that the original voice is more expressive, such as when I read the English novel. I would read in Chinese edition before, like Harry Potter, I would feel easy to understand. Now I started to read in English, I find the original words are more profound, while when they are translated in Chinese, words become not that expressive. Due to my major, I can better understand the English novel and movie, I also learn a speak skill.
我喜欢看电影，学习英语让我更好地享受电影。当我在高中的时候，我喜欢在电视上看外国电影，同时，我看的电影是中国声音。现在我知道原版声音更能表达的好，比如我看英语小说。以前的我会看中国文字版的，像哈利皮特，我会觉得很容易懂。现在我开始看英文版的，我发现原版的字比较深奥，当它们被译成中文的时候，词不达意。因为我的专业，我可以更好的理解英语小说和电影，同时也学了一门口语技巧。
I never regret I choose English as my major, I feel lucky that I make the right choice. I love English, at the same time, Learning English helps me enjoy my hobby better.
我从来不后悔选择英语作为我的专业，我觉得很幸运，做了正确的选择。我喜欢英语，同时，学习英语让我更好的享受业余爱好。
Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family. But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of view, I think this is not a big deal.
如今，家庭主男已经成为现代社会中的一个热点现象。我们都知道，无论什么样的国家，男人在家庭中起着核心作用一直都是传统，他们接起挣钱养家的责任。但随着社会的发展，情况已经变了，越来越多的男性开始接管家务，而女性则走出家庭。在我看来，这并不是什么大不了的事情。
In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who earn better to work, although the one is female.
首先，家庭主男对男性来说可能是一个可耻的称呼，但当谈到钱的时候，名声就站不住脚了。随着社会的发展，生活水平的提高，生活中的一切东西都比以前昂贵了，如果一对夫妇要保证他们的生活质量，那么他们应该让工资更高的人去工作，就算那个是女性也一样。
In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone. Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.
第二，只要女性能比男性挣得更多，让她们来支撑家庭也是可以的。在过去，女性一直被恶劣对待，他们也没有受教育，工作的权利。在一些国家，她们甚至不能给别人看她们的脸。传统的女性角色是呆在家里，照顾孩子，做所有的家务。但是现在，许多女性都有一份好的工作，他们完全有能力成为家里的经济支柱。因此，为了照顾家庭，男性更有可能呆在家里做家务。我不认为这是男人的耻辱，因为无论你做什么，只要你做得好，你就是成功的。
To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family. It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.
综上所述，人们应该改变关于在家庭中谁起核心作用的观点。女性养家是可接受的，所以男性做家务也是不用感到羞耻的。只要记住生活质量才是最重要的。
