Answer 1

Dear editor,
I am a Senior-Three student. Recently, many classmates have expressed different opinions about whether listening practice should be continued in Senior 3 English learning.
Some classmates are for it. They think that keeping listening practice helps them keep their sense of the English language. Besides, if a person is good at listening, he will find it much easier to communicate with people from other cultures.
However, others are against it. They feel it unnecessary to practice English listening in Senior 3 because the listening test has been left out in NMET for years. In addition, time used for revision is quite limited and they can’t find extra time for it.
As for me, I prefer to say Yes because English listening is the first step to get information of the modern world where English is still a dominant language.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Wang Lin

试题分析：
这是一篇开放程度相对较高的作文，要求考生有较强的英语运用能力。因题目只给了简单的汉语提示，考生要增加相当的内容以保证满足字数要求。写作时要保证题目规定的赞成和反对的理由要点不遗漏，否则会直接影响得分。全文用现在时态。注意使用连接性或过渡性词语，以使文章层次清楚、行文流畅、结构连贯。在保证语言规范、不影响表达的前提下，尽量使用一些较为高级的词汇、结构或句式，如强调句、倒装句、分词结构、动名词复合结构，等。注意长短句间杂，可以考虑在部分句子中使用介词短语、非谓语动词等代替从句，从而使文章错杂有致。
【亮点】
所给范文较好完成了题目规定的任务，完整表述了赞成和反对的理由。文章使用了however、besides、in addition等连接性词语，使得正反观点及其理由一目了然，因而文章层次清楚、结构连贯、行文流畅。另外，文章使用了“v + it + 补足语 + 实际宾语”、定语从句、状语从句等较为高级的句型，也有一些较高级的词汇，如leave sth. out, extra time, dominant language, people from other cultures等，给文章增色不少。
