Dear editor,

答案

With the development of people’s living conditions, more and more people have their own cars. Some of us think it’s good to own a car. Firstly, it’s a convenient, fast, and comfortable means of transportation. Secondly, it shows that people are becoming richer, and the country much more stronger. It also makes relative businesses and industries develop faster.

Others have different opinions. They think that cars give off waste gas and pollute the environment. Too many cars will have some bad effects, such as more accidents. Besides, overloaded parking cars is another big problem.

In my view, people should think carefully before they buy a car.

题目分析:本篇写作题材是对于越来越多的人拥有了自己的汽车的两种不同观点。这种文章一般层次比较清晰,四段:第一段为总述;第二段正方观点及依据;第三段反方观点及依据;第四段自己观点。要注意的是1.在列举双方依据时要尽量使语言多样化;2.自我观点表达时要有正确的判断,要有辩证的思维。一篇文章需要有正确的句子才能明了清晰的表达作者的意思。考生应明白高考书面表达题既不是汉译英,也不是可任意发挥的作文。它要求的是将所规定的材料内容经整理后展开思维,考查运用所学英语知识准确地表达意思的能力。

【亮点说明】这篇文章很明显的特点是关联词的使用:Firstly, Secondly, Besides。词组有:give off 排放,In my view在我看来,have some bad effects 有坏的影响,句式比较简单:Some of us think it’s good to own a car. 这句话用了it做形式主语。

The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society--a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.

"My grandmothers didn’ t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.

While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.

If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.

"The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’ t go," said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.

"The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said, "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves. " This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. "We’ re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’ t be more simple," added Cooper’ s assistant Joe Heywood.

Women join the Red Hat Society because()

A. they want to stay young

B. they would like to appear more attractive

C. they would like to have fun and live for themselves

D. they want to be more like their parents
