Answer 1

The Ten-minute Break Between Classes

Time seems to be so limited for us senior high school students. Thus, with so much work to do, a great many students are always eager to seize every minute to study in and after class, including the ten-minute break. However, the outcome isn’t as satisfying as expected.

As far as I know, we need the short break, of which the significance can’t be overlooked. As a matter of fact, the ten-minute break helps us keep a balance between study and relaxation. Short as the break is, we can refresh ourselves and get well prepared for the next class. Thus, there is no need to push ourselves to study even during the short ten-minute break.

Now I’d like to share with you my ten-minute break activities. During the ten minutes, I will walk out of the classroom, breathe the fresh air, and then make the preparations for the next class. Only in this way can I do my work remarkably well.

【解析】这是一篇提纲类写作。文章的标题，开头及大致内容已给出，写作时要注意适当增加内容，以保证文章的连贯性。文章第一段第二句以“with so much work to do,”with+宾语+不定式结构开头，简要的表明了为什么许多学生下课后还要抓紧时间学习的原因，使句子不累赘。后面用including，动词ing形式做状语。这使得整个句子变成一个复杂的长句，提升了文章的质量。文章第二段第一句“we need the short break, of which the significance can’t be overlooked.”使用了一个which引导的非限制性定语从句，将be overlooked to（被忽视）的介词of提前了，放在which之前从而形成非限制性定语从句。

第二段第三句“Short as the break is,”使用了一个让步状语从句，使句子更加简洁。第二段最后一句“Thus, there is no need to push ourselves to study even during the short ten-minute break. ”使用了一个固定句型“there is no need to……”（没有必要做某事）。最后一段最后一句“Only in this way can I do my work remarkably well. ”使用了一个only倒装句，使文章句式富于变化，不是通篇一律的简单句。文章中的一些短语也用的很出彩。比如：as satisfying as 和……一样满意；as far as I know据我所知；make the preparation for为……做准备等等，这些短语的运用以及一些连词的使用，像thus，however等等，都使文章更连贯，语言更富有特色。文章结构逻辑清晰，分三段分别阐述了三个要点，首先描述存在的现象，然后提出课间休息的必要性，最后介绍自己的做法并提出建议。作者的这种结构安排使文章段落清晰，层次分明。总结：写作时要调理清晰，结构明确，句式要富于变化，语言要紧凑活泼。
