我最好的朋友叫西海。他爱看电视，不爱学习。他在别人眼里是个从小娇生惯养的人，可是在我眼里，不管怎样，他是我唯一的朋友。

如果我没记错的话，有一次他因为看电视，忘了去学校，结果被学校开除了。他的爸爸妈妈听说西海被开除了，很生气，一回家，二话不说，把西海打得哇哇大哭。被西海的邻居听到了，纷纷登门阻拦，虽然西海没有再挨打，可是西海的爸爸妈妈规定：他以后再也不能出去玩，也不能在家看电视，只能在家学习。

从那以后西海就很少出来了。就算出来也是愁眉苦脸。但不管怎样，西海永远都是我的好朋友。

【试题点评】

今年的书面表达题目延续山东省一贯的提纲作文命题习惯，时隔一年之后重新回到“书信题”的大框架中，考了一篇“以道歉信为外衣，以活动安排为主体段”的提纲作文，相当于10年山东卷(道歉信)和07年四川卷(假期安排)和合体。这种作文是我们平时经常练习的，因此套路很完善、套话很丰富。此外，本文中需要同学们翻译的难句不多，因此，只要在备考过程中有意识地了解过高考英语作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮点词汇、加分句型和过渡词，并加以针对性训练，这道题目应该不难写。

【经典套路】

第一段：问候+写信背景+写信目的

第二段：“道歉”部分(相当于“写信背景”)

第四段：补充说明+客套话

【高分范文】

Dear Tom,

How are you doing? (问候) You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation.(写信背景) I am sorry that I didn’t reply without delay.(写信目的)

How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study. I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.(第二段为道歉信常见套路)

By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation.(主题句) First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved.(拓展句1) Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School.(拓展句2) Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.(拓展句3)

These are my plan for the summer vacation. What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.(以合理的客套话结尾)

On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or

large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how youll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesnt articulate her words clearly, it s an immediate turn-off. This isnt someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesnt mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint

as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.

The idea is to take the voice with which youve been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in azuoweng a meeting or addressing groups of people.

Let s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that s where you start. That s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.

We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.

参考译文：

一个小心选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么?因为在这个世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。凡是当面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。

我们必须和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来说，我们应尽力避免结交坏人。

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during

the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the

opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and

to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple

with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its

universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic

and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such

as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled

week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for

outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and

deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in

the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also,

as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to

be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying

Everyone is not alone in the society, andeveryone needs friends. But how to make friends is a question for us. In myopinion, we can make friends in the following principles.

每个人在社会上都不是孤单的，每个人都需要朋友。但是，如何交友对我们来说却是一个问题。在我看来，我们可以遵循以下交友原则。

On one hand, be a good listener .Let peopletalking about what they really want to talk. That you are a good listener meansyou understand him.

一方面，做一个良好的倾听者。让别人说他们真正想说的。你是一个好的聆听者就意味着你理解他。

On the other hand, be friendly to people.Everyone will be in trouble, so at any time, we should be friendly to people.In this way, you will have a lot of friends.

另一方面，对人友善。每个人都会遇到困难，所以无论什么时候，我们都应该对人友善。这样，你就会拥有很多朋友。

Actually, making friends is a easier job ifyou put you true heart in it.

事实上，如果你用真心对待，交友是一项很简单的工作。

在寒假的时候，我去姑婆家做客，他们送给我三只母鸡和两只大公鸡。

其中有一只大公鸡我非常喜欢，它穿着一身光鲜亮丽的五彩衣服，头上顶着一朵像火焰一样的红冠，十分神气。弯弯的尾巴像一道彩虹一样挺在身后，显得格外帅气。大公鸡的嘴巴尖尖的，除了能够啄食之外，最厉害的就是唱歌，它每天早晨都要在太阳没升上来之前，站在高高的墙头，扯着嗓子高唱着，声音洪亮有力。

我家的大公鸡走路的时候大摇大摆的，就好像贵族一样，如果它看到了一只蜈蚣，就会特别兴奋，歪着脑袋，“咯咯咯”地叫着，好像跟别人在炫耀自己发现了一件新鲜事物，等到其它的公鸡都围过来的时候，它就瞅准了地上爬行的蜈蚣，一口啄下去，然后在嘴里嚼了嚼，再昂起脖颈，慢慢地往下咽，整个过程是极其享受的，仿佛刚刚享用了一顿人间美味似的。

这只大公鸡比较霸道。有一次它在吃饭，一只小母鸡钻过来要与它同食，大公鸡就非常生气，扑飞过去，使出全身力气向抢食者啄下去，小母鸡被吓得慌忙逃窜，而它则留在食盆的旁边，得意洋洋地独自享受美餐。

你看，这就是我家的大公鸡，它很可爱，你们喜欢不？

A cherry small mouth, a face of dark skin, thin body, there is a pair of small eyes, she is my good friend, Rebecca.

Rebecca is our class "funny king". Remember once, in music class, the teacher released "unfortunately" of music, let a person up unfortunately, suddenly quiet in the class, the students you look at me, I look at you, who also dare not to perform. Suddenly a cry, "let me," we are all back, turned out to be agreement. She walked on stage, twisted up his "lines", this is our class laughed, Rebecca didnt joke you may think, take a first table of the book of the classmate, roll into a ball, on the students "boom" knocked up, his mouth still read something, like a monk qiaomuyu. Rebecca and lifted her clothes, touch the belly said: "thats great!" This is to let the boy didnt dare to look her. Look at the students, some laugh straight is collywobbles, some are rolled out, the teacher also beside laugh.

Rebecca loves singing, but singing is not her funny level is high. After all, "gold no pure gold, no one is perfect! She was singing, as if she broke the music box, old out of tune. Although she sings also pretty into, also think is just the thing, but I sound like Am tone-deaf drake, like "doraemon" fat tiger, which can sing it? But she never CARES, in his own words: xiang chang jiu chang...

This is my partner, I believe he is coming, you will like her.

一张樱桃小嘴，一脸黝黑的皮肤，瘦瘦的身材，还有一双水灵灵的小眼睛，她就是我的好朋友——林明。

林明是我们班的“搞笑大王”。记得有一次，上音乐课时，老师放出《济公》的音乐，让一个人上来演济公，班里一下子安静下来，同学们你看看我，我看看你，谁也不敢上台表演。突然一声“让我来”，我们全部扭回头，原来是林明。她走上台，扭起他那“水蛇腰”，这是我们班哈哈大笑，林明可能觉得还没逗笑大家，就拿起到第一桌同学的书，卷成一团，在那个同学头上“咚咚”的敲了起来，嘴里还念着些什么，就像和尚敲木鱼一样。林明又把衣服撩起，摸着肚皮说：“太爽了!”这下让男生都不敢朝她看。看看同学们，有的笑的直叫肚子疼，有的眼泪都流出来了，老师也在旁边大笑。

林明酷爱唱歌，不过，她唱歌可就没她搞笑的水平高了。毕竟，“金无足赤，人无完人”嘛!她唱起歌来，就像摔坏了的八音盒似的，老跑调。虽然她唱得也挺投入，还自认为挺够味的，可我听起来却像一只五音不全的公鸭，就跟《哆啦A梦》里的胖虎一般，这哪能叫唱歌?可她从来不在乎，用自己的话说：想唱就唱……

这就是我的伙伴，相信他来了，你们一定会喜欢她的。

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。
