Answer 1

【答案】

 

Against Food Waste

China has launched a national campaign “Eat up All on the Plates”, for the leftovers in restaurants across the country are almost enough to feed 200 million people annually, according to reports.

It is a tradition for most people in China to entertain their guests with more than enough food, believing that they have not satisfied their guests if there’s no food left on the table, which they think is a good way to show their hospitality. They think they will be looked down upon if they don’t do that.

The “Eat Up All on the Plates” campaign is intended to reduce the waste and raise people’s awareness. As middle school students, we should do our bit to say “No” to food waste, and try to develop the habit of never ordering or cooking more than what we need so as to save our limited food resources, on which we depend for a better life.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇提纲作文。题干所给文字内容较多，但实际上所给的明确要点却不多，因此本篇作文的开放程度还是比较大的。因而写好本篇书面表达首先的任务就是盘点一下要点：除了“就餐浪费现象描述：据报道，每年全国在餐馆里被倒掉的食物估计可养活2亿人”这一明确的要点和题干中所给出的句子外，其余要点都需要考生自己设想。因此为了表达时能够做到心中有数，我们不妨可以简单地罗列一下要点：就餐浪费现象产生的原因(中国人热情；部分人要面子，讲排场)；光盘行动的意义(节约粮食，提高意识)；看法(大力提倡推广，意义重大)。其次的任务就是需要用正确的英语把要点准确表达出来。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式。同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化。

【亮点说明】范文用一句话就把“就餐浪费现象”描述得恰到好处。范文最大的特点就是长句的使用。例如：“It is a tradition for most people in China to entertain their guests with more than enough food, believing that they have not satisfied their guests if there’s no food left on the table, which they think is a good way to show their hospitality.”就是一句话，却达到45字。该句由“1个简单句、3个复合句(涉及到宾语从句，条件状语从句和非限制性定语从句)”组成。再如：“As middle school students, we should do our bit to say “No” to food waste, and try to develop the habit of never ordering or cooking more than what we need so as to save our limited food resources, on which we depend for a better life.”也是一句话，却达到47字。该句由“1个简单句、2个复合句(涉及到宾语从句和非限制性定语从句)”组成。长句的使用充分展示了作者驾驭句式的能力。范文词汇的使用也是亮点纷呈，“annually, to entertain their guests，looked down upon，is intended to reduce the waste，do our bit，develop the habit of，so as to save our limited food resources”等等词汇的使用充分说明了这一点。
