Answer 1

Nowadays square dancing is getting more and more popular with Chinese people in many cities. Some public places are usually crowded with happy dancers, especially in the morning and evening. But now people have thrown doubt on this issue.
To be honest, most people say yes to square dancing, considering it a green form of exercising to keep fit. Besides, it is money-saving. But meanwhile, some others are greatly opposed to square dancing. They argue that the happiness of those dancers is built on the pain of others who have to suffer from the loud music and noise. With their peace of life disturbed, they are angry with and even run into conflict with the dancers.
In my view, square dancing is certainly beneficial to the whole society so long as the dancers show concern for others’ needs. What’s more, our government should invest more money to build some specified recreation centers for people.

试题分析：本文是篇材料作文，材料非常简单，学生很容易把握写作要求和写作目的。考生在写作之前必修认真审题，首先要注意文章的时态，要求是叙述广场舞来反映主题，所以要用一般现在时。但本文必须用第三人称。再有就是应该注意句子的衔接，以提高作文的档次。
【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如throw doubt on，be opposed to等和with复合结构等。还运用了that引导的同位语从句，现在分词considering的应用，so long as引导的条件状语从句等。并注意了句子的衔接，如：to be honest，besides，What’s more等等。
