Answer 1

Dear Editor,

I’m a middle school student named Wang Hua. Recently, we often have to buy presents for our classmates’ birthdays, and sometimes, we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays.

About this there are two different views. Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school. However, some other students think it’s a waste of money and time and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education. So there is no need for us to do like that. We must treasure our parents’ labor and put our hearts into our studies.

What do you think about it? I’m expecting your reply.

Yours,

Wang Hua

【解析】本题主要围绕对中学生过生日赠送礼物，甚至举办生日聚会的看法，表述正反两方面的意见，并阐述自己的观点。本题是典型的议论文写作，可采用相关的固定格式使文章更流畅。本文第一段最后一句we are invited to their birthday parties in expensive hotels, which caused us to think whether students should spend so much money for birthdays.首先使用了which领导的非限制性定语从句，从句中又有whether领导的宾语从句；第二段中Some students think it provides us with…some other students think it’s a waste of money…使用了Some…some other一些…另一些…的句型；第三段第一句As far as I’m concerned, it’s not easy for our parents to make money使用了As far as I’m concerned就我而言这一固定句式。在短语使用上，使用了provide sb. with sth.提供某人某物，a waste of…浪费…，get into形成等较好的短语。在词语的使用上，本文最大亮点就是连词及副词的使用，如第一段中Recently、sometimes第二段中besides、However第三段中So这些词语的使用使得文章行文更为流畅、自然，大大提高了文章的水平。总结：议论文写作时注意固定格式：some….the other…. as far as I’m concerned….
