Answer 1

Last month I attended a lecture delivered by Professor Zhang, a health expert, with the theme of “sitting for too long is bad for people’s health”. From the lecture I learned that with the development of TV and computers, people today sit a lot more than ever before in history, which has a bad effect on their health. Not only can this habit make your neck or back ache, but it may also make you fat, increase the risk of heart disease and even death. To prevent these problems from happening, Professor Zhang suggested that those who sit too much, such as students and office workers, should form some good habits in life, such as going to school or work on foot or by bike rather than by car, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and standing while talking on the phone. He particularly reminded us that we students should stand up to do some activities during break time at school.

【解析】这是一篇应用文写作。写一篇关于久坐伤身演讲的内容简介，叙述时力求言简意赅，将题目要求所的内容完整地表达出来，表达时应排好主次顺序，一目了然。不要逐词逐句翻译，适当使用连词使得文章通顺流畅。文章第一句with the theme of “sitting for too long is bad for people’s health”点出讲座的主题，第二句From the lecture I learned that with the development of TV and computers, people today sit a lot more than ever before in history, which has a bad effect on their health由that和which引导的宾语从句和定语从句，组合成了一串复合句，承上启下，提及演讲，也将下文即将介绍的内容揭示了出来。第三句Not only can this habit make your neck or back ache, but it may also make you fat, increase the risk of heart disease and even death中 not only …but…不仅……而且…… 句式的使用得十分巧妙，将久坐的危害介绍完毕，句子也注意了部分倒装的问题。第四句To prevent these problems from happening，不定式做主语，介绍预防的办法，such as going to school or work on foot or by bike rather than by car, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and standing while talking on the phone中rather than 和instead of都有表示替换的意思，避免了词汇重复，句子也注意了结构一致性，on foot or by bike rather than by car和taking the stairs，standing while talking.最后一句点出教授的后续观点，particularly特别的, stand up站出来 词语的使用比较贴切。总结：全文流畅简洁，没有多余无用的词汇，将一篇演讲简介用各种句式串联了下来，避免了简单句较多带来的枯燥无味。
