Answer 1

It was officially reported that Beijing education authorities had planned to reduce English scores on standardized tests from 150 points to 100 points in major cities by 2016. Different people have different opinions on learning English. Some people think it is not necessary to learn English because English is only learnt for passing exams. Most people don’t use English at all after they graduate.
I don’t agree with the opinion above. First of all, our country is still a developing country.Only through English can we get a chance to learn the advanced science and technology from foreign countries. Besides, it will be much easier for us to communicate with foreigners and make friends with them if we can speak English frequently. What’s more, we can understand western cultures better and learn something more about the countries and the people.

试题分析：本文属于陈述正反方观点的议论文作文，主题是对高考英语改革的不同观点，题目给出了大部分要点，也要考生给出自己的观点。文章结构清晰，先是一些同学反对的观点，然后是赞同的观点，最后是自己的观点，要求考生用地道的英语表达自己的观点，要求观点明确，驾驭语言的能力强，选择词汇的时候要选择相对高级的词汇，也要运用多种句型，让文章更有变化。难度在于选择合适的词汇和句型表达文章需要的意思，可以变换使用一些容易驾驭的句子或者词汇实现同样的目的。在写作的时候要运用合适的连接词把要点串联起来，使文章成为一个整体
【亮点说明】范文结构清晰，观点，明确，还使用了常用的短语：agree with 同意，First of all,首先，a developing country.发展中国家，也有一些好的句型，如：倒装句：Only through English can we get a chance to learn the advanced science and technology from foreign countries.it做形式主语的句子： it will be much easier for us to communicate with foreigners and make friends with them if we can speak English frequently. 还有文章还使用了Besides, What’s more,这样的关联词使文章更加连贯。
