sister and my grandfather are at home. Now I am doing my homework at home. My grandfather is watching TV.
My father is reading a newspaper. My mother is cooking in the kitchen. We are very happy.
【详解】试题分析:这篇作文要求我们根据所给信息,来介绍一下自己家人。题目中有关于王涛的具体信
息,我们应用正确的英语将这些内容表达出来。写作时,我们可以根据需要将这些信息进行重新整理和安
排,使文章的意思衔接更自然。而且这些关于介绍人物时所使用的词汇和句型,是学生们比较熟悉的,所
以将平时的积累发挥出来就可以。当然我们要尽量使用一些好的句型和连词,使文章上下文意思连贯,更
出彩。
写作亮点:这是一篇非常优秀的作文,短文中作者按照题目的要求,给我们介绍了自己的家人,结构清
晰,要点全面。而且作者在写作时,并不是完全按照题目中给出的顺序,逐句翻译的,而是将这些信息进
行了整合,让意思关联紧密的放在一起表达,这一点很好。短文中的语言合乎英语的表达规范,而且作者

and dancing under a big tree.Some women are drinking tea together.All of them look happy.
【详解】这篇作文要求我们用正确的英语表达一段材料,通过阅读我们可以知道,这段文字
描述的是Tom和父母在公园里看到的事情,这些事情都是正在进行的,所以在短文中要注
意使用现在进行时态表示正在发生的动作,要注意现在进行时态的构成,be动词的形式和现
在分词缺一不可,be的形式要跟主语的单复数一致。题目中的文字并不是完整的,学生们还
需要发挥想象力,将这个短文补充完整。写作时,还需要注意上下文的连贯和表达的流畅。
点睛:这篇作文写得是非常好的,短文按照题目的要求,介绍了Tom和父母在公园里所看
到的景象,全文以现在进行时态为主,描述人们正在做的事情。开头和结尾两个句子用了一
般现在时态。这两个时态的使用非常准确,而且语法符合规范,be动词的形式、实意动词的
形式以及现在分词的变化也都很正确。作者在短文的后面对情景进行了补充,如Tom is
having fun with his parents in the park、What about the girls? Look! They are singing and dancingunder a big tree、All of them look happy等。整篇短文结构完整、表达清楚、流畅。

【答案】
Today is Sunday and it is sunny in the morning. There are many children singing and dancing in the People's
Square. And a girl is flying a kite with her father happily. Some young men are running, and others are taking
photos. Look! Two old people are talking under a big tree, and there are some students drawing pictures. And a
dog is running towards us.
【详解】题目解读:本文是一篇材料作文,提示中给出时间、地点和场景。场景中描述了广场上的人们正
在做的事情,因此短文的时态应该是现在进行时。切忌不要逐字翻译。本文介绍他人正在做的事,注意主
谓一致。
例文点评:本文主要为第三人称,时态是现在进行时。本文第一句话介绍了时间和天气,然后广场里人们
和狗正在做的事。本文主要应用简单句、并列句,地点介词使用得当。连词的使用使上下文连贯。
高分亮点:
短语:fly a kite;some…others。
句型:并列句Today is Sunday and it is sunny in the morning.;There be句型There are many children singing
and dancing in the People's Square.
【点睛】书面表达中用现在进行时描述多人活动时,非常容易出现相同的简单句,文章略显枯燥,因此写
作时,可以利用并列句,连词和短语,增加亮点。例如本文中Some young men are running, and others are
taking photos.,分别介绍两部分人的活动,用连词and连接。
