书面表达（满分35分）
你的英国朋友正在做一个课题：世界各地的生日庆祝方式。他请你介绍中国学生过生日的方式。请你根据以下要点写一篇短文：
一、通常方式
1. 生日聚会
2. 生日礼物
3. 生日祝福
二、我认为更有意义的庆祝方式和理由

Answer 1

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to have fun drinking, singing and dancing. On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents. Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day. In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.

解析根据要点写作要求要点全，不要逐字逐句翻译，这篇作文要求写中国学生过生日的方式。第一段主要包括1. 生日聚会2. 生日礼物3. 生日祝福，庆祝生日是“celebrate their birthdays”，这句话but the most common way is to have fun drinking, singing and dancing.用了不定式做表语，还有have fun doing“玩得很愉快”，receives nice gifts and good wishes from这是“从某人那里接受礼物和祝愿”prepare a special dinner是“准备一顿丰盛的宴席”，to show their love for their children. 这是不定式做定语的用法。
第二段是自己认为更有意义的庆祝方式和理由，先是用Since表示理由，因为庆祝生日时间非常重要的事，所以应该用更有意义的方式进行（in more meaningful ways）。然后举例说明用For example，我们可以买花或是为妈妈烧一顿丰盛的饭菜，最后一件话点题：In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.这样我们才能向父母表达感谢，以报答他们对我们的关爱。
