FoodFoodsafetyhasbecomearisingconcernamongChinesecitizensafter

aseriesoffoodcontaminationaccidentsoccurredacrossthecountryinrecent

years.In2006,thecountry'sfoodsafetywatch解析：本次寫作試題要求對

“食品安全”問題展開討論。要求考生先描述食品安全的現(xiàn)狀，然后分析

產生這些食品問題的原因，最后就我們應該怎么做進行闡述。寫作可以

按照試卷上給出的漢語提綱展開。文章首段應指出食品安全問題已經(jīng)越

來越多地受到中國居民關注?？梢赃\用...hasbecomearisingconcern

among…的句式來表示“……已經(jīng)成為(關注的焦點)”，類似的句式還有

moreandmorepeoplepayattentionto...越來越多的人在關注還可以

運用themostnotoriouscase...來舉例說明。文章第二段應該對產生食品

安全的原因加以分析，很多生產者為了牟取暴利不惜違反法律將一些化

學物品添加到食品里。用becauseof…來表示原因，還可以用thereason

of…用inorderto表示為了達到……目的所采取的做法，相類似的用法

還有soasto...,inorderthat...提出對策和建議時可用

firstly...secondly...finally/atlast...或firstofall...then...thelastbutnotthe

least等表達方式，以體現(xiàn)文章條理清晰。

everyone.Withoutteamworknoindividualorgroup(acompanyaninstitute

Spirit?[1]Teamspiritisamustforthegrowthofeveryone.Withoutteamwork,

noindividualorgroup(acompany,aninstituteorevenacountry)canachieve

anything.[2]However,解析：本篇作文標題是“HOWtoCultivateTeam

Spirit?”，這也就是文章的主旨，寫作時應該重點圍繞“如何”加以闡述。

所以outline中的前面兩點(團隊精神的重要性以及許多人缺失團隊精神)

雖然必不可少，但不能太費筆墨。

當然，本文的難點也正是就“團隊精神的培養(yǎng)'’提出幾條建議。這需要考

生充分發(fā)揮自己的主觀能動性，各顯神通：樣文給出兩條建議：首先，

我們要從思想上認識到個人力量是有限的；其次，要在行動上積極參與

社會活動、考生在處理類似問題時，也不妨從“思想”和“行動”的角度來

思考。

Analysis

[1]文章開頭，往往只需用英語復述outline中的含義即可。主題句+支

持句”的結構很清楚。

[2]對于outline提到的“缺乏團隊精神”的現(xiàn)象做簡要描述，用too

individualistictobecooperative說明其原因及表現(xiàn)方式。

[3]可以說是文章的主題句，以問句的形式出現(xiàn)。

[4][5]只打算寫兩點時，注意用適當?shù)男盘栐~表示這兩點。First…和

Furthermore可以表示兩者之間的遞進關系。

[6]引用名言說明應該團結（也就是要合作）的道理，具有較強的說服力。
