I am writing to share with you an art class I had in the park last Friday. Given your passion for painting, I believe you would appreciate the fascinating experience I had.With the aim of relieving our study pressure as well as enhancing our ability to capture scenes vividly, we were taken to the city park surrounded by tall trees, beautiful flowers and green grass and required to draw a scene that impressed us most. I was first fascinated by the fantastic scenery in the park and then a group of elderly people came up to my eyes. Bathed in the tender morning sunshine, they were dancing merrily to the music, their faces full of smiles. I couldn't help putting them in my painting. This experience not only served as a relief from academic pressures but also provided a profound opportunity to engage myself in the colorful life and beautiful nature as well as practice my painting skills. All in all, lam truly grateful for the opportunity to have such a wonderful art class in the park.What do you think of my experience? Looking forward to your comments. Yours, Li Hua 范文二: Dear Chris, I am writing to share with you an art class I had in the park last Friday. Last Friday witnessed an art class in a park. The whole class was filled with creativity and joy. I can’t wait to share my extraordinary experience with you. The task my teacher set for us was to draw the nature in our own way. I made a work titled “The Vibrant Nature”. I started by sketching the contours of the main elements, such as trees and flowers. Then I used different colors to fill in to create a vivid atmosphere. At last, in order to make the picture more lovely and attractive, I also added some beautiful birds and butterflies. My work was highly praised by my teacher and classmates. Taking an art class in a park gave me a novel experience and taught me to look at the world from a different perspective. Was it interesting for you? I am looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 范文三: Dear Chris,I am writing to share with you the art class I had in the park last Friday. It was a perfect combination of art and nature. Soaked in the vibrant colors of the park, I painted a landscape featuring a flourishing tree surrounded by bright flowers. On the top of the tree stood several lovely birds, which deeply touched my heart. I went great lengths to describe the harmonious scene on the canvas. Overwhelmed with a sense of peace and relaxation, I felt intensely connected with nature,which was wholly different from our conventional art class. It was an incredibly refreshing experience! Have you been working on any artwork lately? Looking forward to your sharing. Yours, Li Hua 【AI 多角度写作范文】 示例一:情感流露与细节描述 开头: Dear Chris, How are you? I hope this message finds you well. Last Friday, we had an exceptional art class in the park, and I can't wait to share my experience with you. 作品内容描述: My artwork focused on a serene scene in the park. In the foreground, I painted a bench under a lush tree, where a couple was enjoying a quiet moment. Behind them, a meandering path led to a shimmering lake, reflecting the sky's azure hue. The details of the leaves and the soft light filtering through the branches added to the tranquility of the scene. 感想表达: This experience was truly enriching. The beauty of nature inspired me to capture its essence in my painting. I felt a sense of peace and harmony as I painted, and I hope my work conveys that feeling to you. 结尾: I'm looking forward to hearing about your latest adventures. Take care and stay in touch.

I painted a bird perched on a park bench, seemingly fascinated by the hustle and bustle of the city beyond the park's perimeter.

It reminded me of the importance of appreciating diversity and finding beauty in unexpected places. As a cross-cultural exchange, I believe my painting bridges the gap between our two worlds. 结尾:I'm eager to hear your thoughts on my work. Keep in touch, and don't forget to share your own artistic creations with me! Best wishes, Li Hua 读后续写 【真题速递】 I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it,” he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order. Sorry.” 续写部分:Para. 1:I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. _______________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2:Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.___________________________________________________________________ 【文本解读】 本文一篇记叙文,主题语境是人与自我:做人与做事,试题情景是以第一人 称描述了作者“我”乘飞机到维也纳,然后要转乘公交车去Prague参加一个会 议。但由于暴风雨,飞机被延误一个半小时,当作者到达维也纳机场时,离最 后一班到Prague的公交车仅剩半小时。于是,作者下机后狂奔出机场,跳上出 租车,紧赶慢赶,终于赶上末班车。但由于取款机故障无法向出租汽车司机付 费。作者承诺四天后返回维也纳时再联系出租汽车司机的故事。其核心价值在 引导考生讲诚信、守承诺,学会感恩以及赞扬出租汽车司机以人为本、宽以待 人的品质。 【明确主题】 该语篇讲述了作者在出差途中,与出租车司机协商解决车费支付问题的故事, 提示学生循着信任他人与遵守诺言的思路进行续写,引导学生培养诚实守信的 美好品德。 【分析情节】 根据立德树人的正能量原则,这篇文章所传达的点有两个: 1. Gunter一定会帮了我,让我及时上车去参加了我的会议。 2.我也遵守诺言,4天后回到维也纳,找到司机把车钱付给了他。 【写作思路】 第一段续写思路: 根据第一段首句 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. 设定第一个镜头: Gunter听到坏消息的反应。 用 “I”的视角去描述,可以有Gunter面部表情,心里活动,甚至还会有简短的对话. Gunter 没有生气或失望,相反,他催促我赶紧上车,并且安慰我说不用给钱了。 Much to my surprise, he urged me to get on the bus instead of getting angry or disappointed, adding that I didn’t have to pay him for the ride for it was the machines’ fault but not mine, with a broad smile on his face. 第二个镜头:我的心理活动及动作描写。我肯定感到如释重负,赶紧上车。第二段的首 句提醒我们还要写问出租车司机要电话号码并承诺返回维也纳后联系他。 A feeling of relief surged through my whole body.(模仿原文语言特色,但不能抄袭,稍 微做一下改动) Before boarding the bus ,I asked Gunter for his phone number, ensuring that I was bound to pay him after returning to Vienna.第三个镜头:可以写我坐在车上心情,如果答题卡上还有空间,可以顺便提一下你的会 议情况,如果已经是最后一行了,可以就此打住。 回顾第一段的环境描写,这是一个又冷又下雨的旁晚,那么衬托出你此时此刻感受到的 温暖以及你很感激这个司机的帮助。 Hardly had I sat on the bus when it started to move.

His face fell, but he quickly recovered his composure. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll lend you the money." With that, he handed me a crisp note. I was overwhelmed by his kindness and couldn't find the words to express my gratitude. As I boarded the bus, Gunter waved goodbye, his smile still bright. The bus pulled away, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for the goodness of strangers. This small act of kindness left a lasting impression on me, a reminder that humanity still shines in unexpected places. Para. 2: Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. His voice was warm and welcoming over the phone. I thanked him profusely for his help and insisted on repaying him. He laughed and said, "It was nothing, really. I'm just glad I could be there for you." We talked for a while, getting to know each other better. It was a chance encounter that turned into a meaningful friendship. Gunter's kindness and generosity taught me the value of being there for others, no matter how small the gesture may seem. I left Vienna with a heart full of gratitude and a newfound friend. 范文二: Para. 1: I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He furrowed his brow, but his face quickly softened. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll take care of it." He reached into his pocket and handed me a few bills. I was speechless, overwhelmed by his kindness. As I boarded the bus, I turned to thank him, but he was already gone, disappearing into the crowd. I sat down, feeling a sense of warmthin the cold autumn evening. Gunter's generosity had not only saved me from a tricky situation, but also restored my faith in humanity. Para. 2: Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. His voice sounded as friendly and warm as before. I thanked him profusely for his help and offered to pay him back. He laughed and said, "It's nothing, really. I was just happy to be able to help." We talked for a while, discussing our respective lives and plans. I felt a strong bond of gratitude and friendship forming between us. Before hanging up, I promised to keep in touch, and Gunter assured me that he would do the same. It was a small act of kindness that had changed both our lives for the better. 范文三: Para. 1: I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He paused for a moment, eyes scanning the dwindling crowd of passengers boarding the bus. Then, with a shrug of his shoulders, he reached into his pocket and handed me a few notes. "Here, take this," he said with a smile. "It's enough for your ticket. You can pay me back later." I was stunned by his generosity and quickly thanked him. With a nod and a wave, I boarded the bus, feeling a sense of gratitude and relief wash over me. Para. 2: Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He answered with a cheery hello, and I thanked him again for his help. "It's nothing," he said. "Just happy to have been able to lend a hand." We talked for a while, catching up on our respective travels, and I offered to pay him back for the money he had lent me. He refused, saying it was a small price to pay for a chance to help someone in need. Our conversation ended with a promise to stay in touch, and I hung up feeling grateful for having met such a kind and generous person as Gunter. 【原文结尾欣赏】 Blood drains from my face. Gunter, panting for breath, shakes his head.Game over. Fate seemed to be conspiring against me today.In the distance, I can see the luggage door of the bus closing. The last remaining passengers are about to board the bus. I look towards Gunter. I can’t remember the exact words of what I said to him then. It’s a bit of a blur.It goes something like this.‘I know Gunter we’ve just met. But I really need to get on this bus. Otherwise I have to spend the night here which will be bloody expensive. I have to buy a new bus ticket tomorrow morning. I know we’ve just met but I am going to be back in Vienna in 4 days’ time. If it’s okay with you I can pay you the money then. I’ll add an extra 10 euros for your hassle.’ Then an uncomfortable pause as I analyse Gunter’s face for his reaction. Then the impossible happened. He nodded his head simply. ‘It’s cool. I accept this solution and trust you. Give me the name of your hotel and we can meet there.’ I look at him. Biggest smile you can imagine. I give him the name of my hotel and we exchange phone numbers. I board the bus and give him a big huge wave to my newest friend on planet earth. 4 days later ... I am back in Vienna to attend the Wiener Wiesn Festival.As promised, I call Gunter. He’s happy to hear from me. We meet at the airport where he works from. We embrace like long lost friends.Gunter tells me that he wasn’t sure if I was going to show up but was happy to hear my voice when I called him.I gave Gunter the extra €10 tip I had promised which he would not accept. He told me to call him, the next time I was in Vienna and buy him a beer.Which I happily agreed to.If my faith in humanity was wavering, Gunter restored it.Things have changed since we were kids.They tell me that fairy tales exist no more.Well, they are wrong. Fairy tales DO exist. Thanks to the invisible knights in shining armour. Call them angels or kindred spirits. They exist in this world. We just don’t see them.Like the anonymous taxi driver who you meet at the airports of this world. Like my anon Gozitan taxi driver or indeed Gunter.Definitely, the nicest, the best taxi driver you will meet in Vienna and maybe Austria.
