書面表達（滿分35分）
你的英國朋友正在做一個課題：世界各地的生日慶祝方式。他請你介紹中國學生過生日的方式。請你根據以下要點寫一篇短文：
一、通常方式
1. 生日聚會
2. 生日禮物
3. 生日祝福
二、我認為更有意義的慶祝方式和理由

Answer 1

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to have fun drinking, singing and dancing. On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents. Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day. In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.

解析根據要點寫作要求要點全，不要逐字逐句翻譯，這篇作文要求寫中國學生過生日的方式。第一段主要包括1. 生日聚會2. 生日禮物3. 生日祝福，慶祝生日是“celebrate their birthdays”，這句話but the most common way is to have fun drinking, singing and dancing.用了不定式做表語，還有have fun doing“玩得很愉快”，receives nice gifts and good wishes from這是“從某人那里接受禮物和祝愿”prepare a special dinner是“準備一頓豐盛的宴席”，to show their love for their children. 這是不定式做定語的用法。
第二段是自己認為更有意義的慶祝方式和理由，先是用Since表示理由，因為慶祝生日時間非常重要的事，所以應該用更有意義的方式進行（in more meaningful ways）。然后舉例說明用For example，我們可以買花或是為媽媽燒一頓豐盛的飯菜，最后一件話點題：In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.這樣我們才能向父母表達感謝，以報答他們對我們的關愛。
