小短文英语 篇1
励志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen.Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do.If we are ever to create lasting peace, we
must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth.History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past.These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world.History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn.Yesterday’s records can keep us from
repeating yesterday’s mistakes.And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻译：一个更好的明天
英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢？这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢？
我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过
去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。
简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创
作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。
小短文英语 篇2
近年来, 高考英语短文改错虽然分值没变, 但在形式上较2009年前有了变化, 不再是一行设一错, 也没有“原行没有错的不要改”这句话。改变了错误在短文中分行设置的格局, 只给出一个语篇, 并告诉考生有10处, 而且“只允许修改10处, 多者 (从第11处起) 不计分”。这种形式的变化增加了考题难度, 但材料一般来源于考生平时的习作, 所以一般无繁难语句结构, 且考点的设置基本上没有变化。
二、科学的短文改错解题步骤
1.改前通读。在进行纠错前, 要通读全文, 了解短文的大意, 并掌握文章的主体时态和人称及行文逻辑, 凭借语感找出那些明显的错误, 切忌拿来就改。
2.改中细读。在纠错时要认真检查, 仔细阅读每个句子, 运用所学的语言知识, 逐句辨别正误。
3.改后复读。复读全文, 检查核对。在改后复读时, 往往 会发现那些在通读与细读中不曾发现的问题和误改现象。
4.紧扣题目要求, 规范答题方法。短文改错题对答题方法有明确要求。同时要注意:1) .标点符号不改;2) .单词拼写及大小写不改;3) .词序错误不改;4) .在纲外生词不改 (带汉语注释的词) 。
三、短文改错常见考点和热点
1.多词
(1) 多冠词
A:抽象不可数名词泛指前和泛指复数可数名词前多余的冠词, 如:an advice、a news、an information。
B:专有名词前多余的冠词。除特殊情况外, 专有名词前不用冠词。
C:固定词组中名词前多余的定冠词。
(2) 多介词
A:one+名词, 指示代词十名词, every+名词及last/next+ 名词组成的时间状语前多余的介词。
B:及物动词与直接宾语间多余的介词, 或某些及物动词的固定词组中, 直接宾语前用了多余的不定冠词。
(3) 在某些固定搭配中, 宾语补足语用不带to的动词不定式, 加to是多余的。几个动词作并列谓语, 加to也是多余的。
(4) 单音节形容词或副词比较级前用多余的more, 如: more longer。
2.缺词
(1) 缺冠词
A:单数名词泛指时缺不定冠词a或an或特指名词前缺定冠词the。
B:形容词最高级前或比较级前表特指时缺冠词the。
(2) 缺代词
A:定语从句中缺作主语的关系代词。
B:it作形式主语、形式宾语或指代时有缺漏。
(3) 缺介词
A:作定语用的动词不定式后缺少必要的介词, 语意不合逻辑。
B:作状语的介词词组缺少必要的介词。
C:不及物动词的间接宾语缺少介词。
D:动词短语中缺少必要的介词。
(4) 缺连词, 如并列句缺并列连词。
(5) 缺副词, 如句子“as+形容词+名词+as+主语+动词……”结构中缺副词as。
(6) 作宾语或状语用的动词不定式缺to。
(7) 名词性从句作主语缺连词、代词、副词。
3.错词
(1) 动词时态和语态 (主要指行为动词) 的错误。常考的时态有两组:A:一般现在时和一般过去时;B:完成时和一般过去时。
(2) 非谓语动词。非谓语动词包括动词不定式、一ing和过去分词。
A:非谓语动词具有动词性质, 有时态和语态之分, 但不能单独作谓语动词用。建议记住某些动词后跟-ing, 而一些动词后跟to do。
B:现在分词与过去分词互改, 现在分词多指性质, 过去分词常表状态, 如:interesting/ interested, surprising/surprised等。
(3) 介词
A:介词的含义很多, 可表示时间、地点、方向、方位、状态、方式、方法、手段等, 很多时候用于短语之中。
B:不该用介词时用了介词。特别提醒:this、that、last前不用介词如next year, 常写成in next year。
C:固定短语中固定的介词搭配。
(4) 冠词。
A:名词前使用哪个冠词最主要取决于名词是特指还是泛指。如果是泛指, 单数名词前要加a (an) , 如果是特指, 名词前要加the。
B:物质名词、抽象名词表示一般概念, 通常不加冠词, 如:advice、information、knowledge、progress、news等。但有时抽象名词具体化时要加冠词, 如:an honor、a success、a fail- ure等专有名词前。除了上述特殊情况, 一般不加冠词。
(5) 一致性原则。一般而言, 有六点值得注意:
A:注意主谓结构是否一致。
B:注意谓语动词的时态、语态前后是否一致。
C:注意名词的数与格的使用前后是否一致。
D:注意行文逻辑中指代词的一致。如人称代词、物主代词、反身代词指代时是否一致;不定代词、关系代词的使用是否正确。
E:注意连接词, 如关系代词、关系副词及从属连词在复合句中的使用是否正确。常见互改的词如下:which/that, what/that, whether f if, which l where等:
F:搞清文字段落中的逻辑意义和逻辑关系, 注意判断以下词的运用是否正确。
(6) 易混淆的词或词组。
A:把名词用作动词, 如advice (n.) 代替advise (v) ;belief (n.) 代替believe (v) , 这样的词读音相同或相似, 是很容易混淆的。
B:词性相同, 词义相近, 但用法不一样。
C:形相似但意义不同的词和词组, 如:beside/besides;hard/hardly;already/ all ready;everyday/every day等。
D:反义词, 如:here/there, go/come up/down, 等。
E:重复词 (不可同时使用) , 如:return back, although/ though…but…等。
高考英语短文写作技巧 篇3
一、结构
了解短文写作的文章结构,弄清作文的体裁(通知、书信、日记、便条、人物或地点介绍、小论文、看图作文或改写等)。如果要求写信,就要弄清收信人、写信人;如果是口头通知,就要记住前言后语,打招呼就要说“Attention, please.”之类的话,结束语要说“That’s all. Thank you”等;如果是看图作文,就要注意时态,故事性的作文时态一般为过去时,而如果是描写一个地方、介绍一个产品,时态一般用现在时。对试题所提供的信息,不论是文字还是图片,都要认真分析、反复推敲,有一个清醒的思路之后再动笔。
从近年的命题特点来看,湖北省高考英语短文写作多属于半开放式,采用三段式结构,即引言(introduction)-主体(body)-结尾(conclusion)。引言部分通常给出,让学生在限定的范围内组织要点,完成主体部分和结尾部分。2007～2009年湖北卷的短文写作都是书信格式,开头和结尾部分已经给出,考生只需把所给要点进行适当安排,组织成文即可。
由于中西方人在思维习惯上有明显差别,因此书面表达的组织方式也存在着明显差异。英语作文的组织方式是按直线进行的,主题句放在句首,其余的句子作为支撑句,对主题句起到解释作用,也就是先概括后具体。而汉语作文通常是先描述具体事实,然后再进行归纳。一些学生在学习英语的过程中不能完全摆脱母语的影响,在写作过程中容易按照汉语作文的组织方式处理,导致文章的结构不明确。短文写作词数最多120个词,所以不需要有过多的铺垫,直接切入主题即可;短文最好分段,一段一个要点,以使条理清晰、层次分明;主体部分控制在10～12个句子,以刚好写满答题纸为最佳。
二、文字
考纲的书面表达部分要求考生具有以下能力:(1)准确使用语法和词汇;(2)使用一定的句型、词汇,清楚、连贯地表达自己的意思。纵观近几年高考书面表达的评分标准不难看出,句式单调的文章,即使没有任何表达错误,也不能得高分。而“语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误,但为尽量使用复杂结构或较高级词汇所致”得分也在最高一档(21～25分)。
词汇是构成语言的一个重要要素,词汇能力是衡量学习者语言水平的尺度之一。评分标准也明确鼓励考生多用高级词汇,比如要表达“聪明”,大多数同学的第一反应就是“clever”,这个首先想到的clever只能算作基础词汇。其实,表示“聪明”的单词我们学过不少,比如bright,intelligent等,类似这样的词汇才可以算是高级词汇。一个好词往往能让句子增色不少。例如:
①突然,我想出了一个注意。
Suddenly I thought out a good idea. (一般)
A good idea occurred to me. (高级)
A good idea suddenly struck me. (高级)
②雨很大所以我昨天没去那儿。
I didn’t go to the concert because of the heavy rain. (一般)
The heavy rain prevented me from going to the concert yesterday. (高级)
③你能很容易找到我家。
You can find my house easily. (一般)
You’ll have no trouble/difficulty finding my house. (高级)
④我们每天有许多作业做。
We have a lot of homework to do every day. (一般)
We have endless homework to do every day. (高级)
⑤非常感谢你的帮助。
Thank you for your help very much. (一般)
I feel thankful / grateful for your help. (高级)
I appreciate your help very much. (高级)
要想在高考作文中用到更多的高级词汇,同学们在备考时可以做一些构词法的练习,掌握合成词、派生词以及转换词的规律,这样就能够在较短时间内扩大词汇量。在平时的学习中,应注意归纳同义词和近义词,英语中有着最丰富的、最庞大的同义词和近义词体系,同一种含义可以由不同的词汇来表达,比如表示“认为”的词就有think,believe,consider,feel,figure,regard,expect等。另外,养成Brainstorming的好习惯,看到一个新话题时首先想想自己可能用到哪些词,将它们列出来,然后翻一翻参考书和字典,把自己认为不错的词补充进去。久而久之,建立起自己的词库(word bank),考试时就不会捉襟见肘了。
至于复杂结构,也就是说句式要富于变化,如使用被动句、倒装句、定语从句、强调句型、名词性从句、非谓语动词等。
例如:“他生病了,没有上学。”这个句子可以有多种表达方式。
①He was ill so he didn’t go to school.
②He was so sick that he didn’t go to school.
③He suffered from such an illness that he didn’t go to school.
④He was absent from class because he was ill.
⑤The reason why he didn’t go to school was that he was ill.
⑥He was too sick to attend the class.
⑦His being sick led to his absence from class.
⑧Being sick/ill, he didn’t go to school.
⑨His illness stopped him from going to school.
⑩He missed his class for his illness.
{11}It was because he got sick that he was absent from school.
{12}If he hadn’t been ill, he would have attended the class.
当然,也没有必要每句话都追求这些复杂的语法结构,但整篇作文中一定要有所体现。从某种程度讲,作文就是“做秀”,应当把自己多年的语言知识的积累通过短文写作“秀”出来。
三、连贯
评分标准指出,短文写作应该注意上下文的连贯性,并能有效地使用语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。这里说的连贯性,就是指通过连接词(包括并列连词、从属连词和连接性副词)、非谓语动词短语等语法成分,使两个或多个意义相互关联的事情或观点在同一个句子内得以表达,从而使整个段落或篇章浑然一体,连贯流畅。短文写作的每一个分数档都对连贯性提出了明确要求:
第五档 (21～25分):有效地使用了语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。
第四档(16～20分):应用简单的语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。
第三档 (11～15分):应用简单的语句间的连接成分,使全文内容连贯。
第二档 (6～10分):较少使用语句间的连接成分,内容缺少连贯性。
第一档 (1～5分):缺乏语句间的连接成分,内容不连贯。
也就是说,在考查考生语言准确性的基础上,进一步强调了文章的连贯性,连贯性越强则得分越高。
有效地使用关联词会使句子间的逻辑关系更加明确,使整篇文章更加条理清楚,连贯流畅。在写作的过程中,以下关联词的应用非常关键。
有了这些词的连接,就会使文章变得语句通顺,层次清楚,有声有色,让评卷人感觉到考生的语言功底。
另外,短文作为一个整体,考生应当在段落与段落之间用到一些过渡性语言,使得作文在结构上严密和连贯。以下是文章的起承转合中常见的过渡语:
①启
A proverb says......
At present......
As the proverb says......
Currently......
Generally speaking, ......
Now, ......
In general, ......
On the whole......
It is clear that......
Recently......
It is often said that......

②承
First(of all), ......
Moreover, ......

Similarly,......
At the same time......
Therefore, we should realize that......
Certainly......
There is no doubt that.......
In addition,......
What`s more, ......

There is a certain amount of truth in this, but we still have a problem with regard to.......
However,.......
To our surprise,......
Nevertheless, ......
Unfortunately......
On the other hand, ......
Yet difference will be found and that is why I feel that......
Others may find this to be true, but I do not. I think......
④合

By so doing, .....
On the whole, .....
Consequently, ........
Presumably, .......
Eventually, .........
To conclude, ......
Finally, ........
To sum up, .....
In a word, ......
To summarize, ......
四、检查
检查是短文写作的最后一道工序。最后一道工序也意味着稍有疏忽,则很难弥补。因此,认真仔细地检查对于最终的得分是十分重要的。在检查过程中,应注意以下几个方面:
1.通读全文,仔细检查内容是否完整,要点有无遗漏,文章的人称是否符合题目的要求。
2.检查格式是否正确,有无文不对题或欠缺之处。
3.检查语法是否正确,有无句式或用词错误,尤其要注意名词单复数-冠词及动词的使用, 还要注意句与句、段与段的过渡是否自然得体。
4.检查书写是否规范,有无拼写、大小写、标点符号等错误。
5.检查字数是否符合要求。
总之,短文写作并非容易的事情,它需要平时的积累,需要同学们在平时的学习过程中加强训练,以求水到渠成之功。功夫在平常, 一切急功近利的做法都是徒劳的。一分耕耘,一分收获,同学们只要持之以恒,夯实基础,再加上考前有针对性的科学训练,在高考中一定能够取得理想的成绩!
英语励志小短文 篇4
The young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency when he hit a distant bull’s eye on his first try,and then split that arrow with his second shot.
“There,”he said to the old man, “see if you can match that!”
Undisturbed ,the master did not draw his bow,but rather motioned for the young archer to follow him up the mountain.
Curious about the old fellow’s `intentions,the champion followed him high into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy and shaky log.
Calmly stepping out onto the middle of the unsteady and certainly perilous bridge ,the old maser picked a far away tree as a target,drew his bow,and fired a clean,direct hit.

我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作--做着日常事务。然后我躺下，希望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来--拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。

浅淡高中英语短文改错策略 篇7
1掌握解题技巧
(1) 纵观加联想。首先要通读全文, 在理解篇章的基础上逐句审读, 分行判断, 上下兼顾, 不可顾此失彼。
(2) 难易定夺。把明显的、拿得准的先做了, 以缩小做题范围, 为对全文进一步理解打下基础。
(3) 攻难再读。第一遍解决不了的, 第二遍重点突破。
(4) 反思并修正。做完题目后, 认真核对答案, 尽量减少失误。
2紧扣题目要求, 选择答题方法
短文改错答题方法有明确的规定, 答题必须严格按所要求格式去做, 多余的划掉 () 、漏掉的要添 (∧) 、错误之处要改正 (—) 、正确无误的要标明 (√) 。
3搞清短文改错的考查点, 运用所学英语语言知识或语法知识, 逐句辨别正误
(1) 句子的时态、语态考查点。
(2) 固定短语的习惯搭配, 此为短文改错最常见的考查项目。
(3) 画蛇添足或故意遗漏现象。短文改错文章中不该用词的地方用就是画蛇添足, 也称多余现象, 而该用词的地方却不用就是故意遗漏现象。
(4) 复合句中, 从句的引导 (或关系词) 是否合适, 注意主从句时态应用是否对应。
(5) 冠词的运用是否恰当。
(6) 句中词的使用是否合适。 (1) 同义词、近义词 (短语) 的区别运用; (2) be动词后常跟形容词作表语, 修饰整个句子或动词用副词; (3) 代词的格和性, 名词的数运用; (4) 谓语动词形式的合理选择。
(7) 短文改错是否遵循解题原则, 如一致性原则。短文改错中常设置一些使用不一致的错误, 只有掌握一致性原则的正确用法, 才能找出并改正那些不一致的错误。
1) 主谓一致原则。英语句子谓语受主语的支配, 必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致, 这种一致包括:语法一致、意义一致、就近一致。例如Now my picture and prize is hanging in the library. (are)
2) 主从句时态一致原则。英语时态很多, 一般来说, 单独使用某一种时态较容易, 当几种时态同时使用或要求主从句时态保持一致时就容易出错, 故只有掌握一致性原则, 才能根据上下文的具体情况找出短文中的错误加以改正。My favourite sport is football.I was member of our school football team. (am)
3) 上下文指代一致原则。做短文改错时, 对于短文中出现的每一个代词, 都要查一下它所指代的内容, 注意其数、格、词性是否正确和前后一致。例如:
The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home. (their)
4) 平行结构一致。英语中由并列连词或词组连接的结构叫平行结构, 常见的并列连词有and, or, but, either...or, not only...but also等。平行结构中在词性、时态、非谓语动词形式上往往要求前后保持一致。
例如:She was smiling butnodding at me. (and)
冰冻三尺非一日之寒, 铁杵成针非一日之功。平时要勤学苦练, 积累经验, 真正体会到短文改错的技巧、方法, 切实抓住通向成功之路的机遇。

英语短文的篇章结构小结 篇8
1. 主题句
每个段落都会有一个要点，该要点通常由主题句表达。主题句运用开门见山手法，通常概括且清楚地陈述本段落的信息。整个段落都围绕主题句展开。例如：模块十U2 Reading （Line 43）
Young mobile adults give many different reasons for swapping their home towns for big cities.
但是，也并不是所有的段落都一定有主题句的。有时一个段落只是延续了前一个段落的主题，所以如果前一个段落有了主题句，这个段落就不一定有了。
主题句出现在句首是常见的，但有时也可出现在段中或出现在段落的末尾。不过在情节性故事或其他一些文体中的，主题句可以放置于第一段的一段引子之后。引子的目的就是为了吸引读者的注意力，这个引子往往可以是一个有趣的小故事、一个问题或一小段话。例如：模块十U2 Reading （Line 3）
Older Americans are on the move.
该段在文章中很有可爱之处，第一句Older Americans are on the move.是个引言，一眼就能看出全段所表达的中心——美国老年人在迁徙，这就是主题句;而第二、三两句用一些细节来支撑这个主题句。
2. 支撑句
主题句后跟有对其加以解释或证明的句子称为支撑句。例如：还是刚才那段：
For decades， Florida has been attracting older people. In fact， according to the national population survey conducted recently， Florida is home to the largest population of people aged 65 and older.
值得一提的是，段落中的支撑句的排列顺序是有层次的。我们可以使用连接词将前后句子连接。常见的连接词有for example， for instance， furthermore， first， on the other hand， however等。例如：模块十U2 Reading （Line22）
Florida is a popular choice for these people because of the pleasant climate and the low cost of living there. As the number of older Americans moving there increases， more changes are made to cater to them. For example， ambulances respond faster now， and many houses have bathrooms designed for older owners， with things like easytouse bathtubs that reduce the risk of slips and falls.
3. 结论句
结论句又称总结句，标志着一个段落的结束，一般可以用来重述一下主题，提供问题的解决方式，对未来进行预测，提出问题让读者去思考等等，或者直接对全段内容加以概括。常见的结论句连接词有therefore， in short， in a word， briefly speaking， to sum up等。当然了，结论句不是主题句的简单重复，而是对它的扩展与总结。有时也可以用结论句来表达关于这个主题的最后想法，或用它来帮助引入下一段的主题。例如：模块十 U2 Reading （Line 41）
Across the USA， people are noticing the same thing： young people are electing to live in cities.
牛刀小试
一、选出下列各段落的主题句
A. One of the reasons for visiting the lighthouses is that the lighthouses have a profound history and provide a good view of nature.
B. Visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers.
C. Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings.
D. The most important reason for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors battled nature with the basic tools they had.
Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once.
（1） They had only basic ways of creating light， and yet they found a way of using this simple technology in isolated （孤零零的） places to save ships from hitting rocks.
（2） By their very nature， lighthouses were built on some rocks or cliffs. Thus the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives. To walk around their small home， and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls， is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had.
（3） The reason for a visit to a lighthouse is not all so backwardlooking in time. It is true that lighthouses were built in outofway places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day， this very isolation has a natural beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore， with the gentle waves touching all round the lighthouse， the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
（4） Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure， but felt the need， even in such an isolated place， to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy. Finally， lighthouses have a romantic attraction， summed up by the image of the oilskincoated keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.
二、选词填空
then; later; since; whenever; on the other hand; and; once; while; on the contrary; in the first place
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness， happiness， goodness and selfrespect？ The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings.
Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent， and profit from the clerks mistake， we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. 1 we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. 2， if we told the clerk about the uncharged item， the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
3， what is it to do with our sense of happiness？
4， if we didnt tell the clerk， a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process， we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted， 5 we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others.6， bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store， we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased. 7 we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. 8 its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. 9 the positive cycle can be difficult to start， 10 its started， its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind， which is important for our happiness.

英语小短文 人生的意义 篇10
My View on Life Value 人生价值何在We all come to the world, but why do some of us make great achievements known forever and why are they remembered forever even though they leave the world? And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life.But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions are...“If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world.” Johann Goth said.“The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession.” Einstein said.Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, “one lives to make others a more beautiful life.”
我们每一个人来到这个世界上,为什么有的人功业千秋,永垂不朽？为什么有的人悄悄而去，却没有给后人和社会留下一点儿有价值的东西？!人谁不希望自己的一生过得有意义、有价值？那么，怎样的人生才算是有意义有价值的人生呢？对于这个问题......歌德说：“你若要喜爱自己的价值，就得给世界创造价值。”爱因斯坦说：“一个人的价值，应当看他贡献什么，而不是看他得到什么。” 共产主义战士雷锋说：“自己活着，就是为了让别人过得更美好。”
2014年高考英语短文写作分析 篇11
请根据以下提示，并结合具体事例，用英语写一篇短文。
Small things make a big difference. The small things we do can make us a responsible member of the society.
注意：①无须写标题；②除诗歌外，文体不限；③内容必须结合你生活中的具体事例；④文中不得透漏个人姓名和学校名称；⑤词数不少于120，如引用提示语则不计入总次数。
【审题谋篇】
提示语意为：小事情有大的影响，我们所做的小事情能使我们成为这个社会中有责任感的一员。提示语的落脚点在第二句话，因此我们要把小事情和社会责任感这两个点有机结合起来。一个人的社会责任也许并不起眼，一件事情上体现的社会责任也许并不惊天动地。但是，无数人担负共同的社会责任，无数小事情上汇集的社会责任举动，就能形成推动社会进步的巨大力量。在日常生活中，我们会遇到很多小事情，比如在灾难面前伸出援助之手，参加志愿者活动，节约水电，保护环境等，都能体现出我们的责任意识。因此，从我做起，从小事做起，尽到自己的社会责任是这篇文章的立意所在。
对于这种话题作文，我们依然采取引题、记叙、总结的三段式。把握了立意后，就可以谋篇布局了。第一段提出话题；第二段例举自己生活中遇到的一件体现自己社会责任感的小事；第三段写这个经历给自己的体会和启示，再次点明主题，首尾呼应。
习作一
As is known to us all， small things can make a big difference. In our daily life， even if the things we do are very small， we still can make us a responsible member of the society.
For example， one weekend， our teachers took us to a park where we were about to plant trees. With the help of our teachers， everyone at least planted one tree. Some enthusiastic students planted more. Every one of us was really happy to do something for our society. In the meanwhile， we were confident that there would be a forest in the park many years later. Last week， I went to the park. Those trees we planted ten years ago have been taller than I. What a exciting thing！ We do make us a responsible member of the society.
Although we just did a small thing， but it did make a big difference. Don’t hesitate to do small thing just because they are small. Do it， and you will see the big change you make. Let us be a responsible member of the society.
点评 这是一篇中档习作。其优点是：
1.内容切题，语言表达清楚流畅。
2.运用了一些好的短语。如be about to， with the help of， in the meanwhile， hesitate to do sth.
3.运用了一些高级句式。如非限制性定语从句As is known to all，…；让步状语从句even if the things we do are very small， …；定语从句…a park where we were about to plant trees；感叹句What an exciting thing；祈使句+and+一般将来时Do it and you will see the big change you make.
不足之处是：
1. 冠词的错误。a exciting thing应该为an exciting thing.
2. 有个别严重的结构性错误。如Although we just did a small thing， but it did make a big difference. Although是从属连词引导从句，后面应该是主句，but是并列连词连接两个并列的简单句，因此but要去掉。
3. 语句表达错误。如Let us be a responsible member of the society. 这里应该包括听话人，因此应该说Let’s be a responsible member of the society. 这是一种表示建议的句型，如Let’s go home. 我们回家吧！Let sb do sth是表示请求对方允许去做某事，如Let me in， ok？ 请让我进去，好吗？

As a tiny spot in the enormous world， there is no denying that something happening is out of control. Nevertheless， life is a stage established for everyone， where the small things we do can make us shine， becoming a responsible member of the city.

Walking down my memory lane， I can recall one thing lingering in my mind. One day， I was walking on my way to school when I heard a cry. It occurred to me that something terrible must have happened. Running to the spot of the accident， I found an old man left alone. Depressed and frustrated， he was longing for help. Much to my surprise， there was no one he could turn to！ Without hesitation， I came up to him， helping him stand up. The old man rewarded me with a warm smile， which made me aware of the responsibility of a social member.
From my perspective， it can’t be emphasized too much that we’re supposed to do kind things as opposed to ignoring them. However small the tings are， only when we attach significance to these can we make a big difference and embrace the vast sky.
