題目卡片：News Story that Made You Happy
Describe a news story that made you feel happy.
You should say:
what the news was about (= what happened)
where you got this news from
what people were involved in this news story
and explain why it made you feel happy.
考生一拿到這個題目，可能心里有點發(fā)憷，首先，它得是新聞故事， 其次還要讓你開心的，貌似如果說電視節(jié)目會太牽強，而且很容易被考官識破，認為是背了模板，這樣可能得分就不會很理想。所以，我們在審題和選材方面要做點功課。
筆者先給出一篇范文，再來慢慢幫大家剖析這樣構(gòu)思的好處：
Let the Bullets Fly
speaking of the news story which made me happy, the first thing coming into mind is the news story about “Let the Bullets Fly”, which is the hottest new year’s film from Director Jiang Wen.
And In this news story, it is said that a leading Hollywood studio has bought the rights to remake Jiang Wen's gangster movie. Besides, some guy, the TV presenter also said that Jiang has been invited to direct the remake. And I would have to say that the studio also said Jiang can select any famous film star in Hollywood. Since the news has been released, many people suggest that the leading bandit can be played by Johnny Depp, who has an outstanding performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
When I first heard this news, I was really excited and delighted about this news. And I guess this is probably because it proves that the Chinese films really improve greatly during recent decades, which is closely related with the government’s investment and support. Therefore, I am so glad that more foreigners can get to know China through the perspective of cultural phenomenon like film, which can bring more communication both home and abroad.
Honestly, this news really inspires me with the hope for Chinese films. What’ more I have to add is that I believe the film industry of China has a bright future.
解析：
1、審題的重要性
我們首先對這個題目進行一些細致的分析，一般在Part2咱們都會碰到四個wh-的問題，所以在我們的表達中一定要告訴考官是在圍繞這個問題來說，我們對這個問題有深層次的延展，而不是亂糟糟的信息碎片，因此必備的連接詞是必不可少的，這樣考官才會對你表達的信息有更足量的評判，從而獲取理想的分數(shù)，比如在說到這個新聞故事的時候，咱們不妨可以這樣說，speaking of the news story which made me happy, the first thing coming into mind is the news story about + what, which+…這樣的表達不但可以體現(xiàn)銜接的流暢，而且可以體現(xiàn)語法的復(fù)雜性;which之后的信息可以直接將標題中的信息用定語從句轉(zhuǎn)述出來.
所以在回答下面的一系列問題的時候，我們都可以用一些表示銜接的句式，
比如:
And I would have to say that
And I shouldn't forget to mention that …
In addition to what I’ve just said, I can add that…
Apart from what I’ve mentioned, another key point is that
講到原因可以說：
And I guess this is probably because…
This could be because…
This might be because…
This is due to the fact that …
I suppose the reason has something to do with the fact that…
2、選材要新穎
有則新聞故事是這樣的：賀歲影片《讓子彈飛》從2010年12月16日上映，首映的票房就輕松超2億，目前好萊塢正準備斥巨資來購買《讓子彈飛》的翻拍權(quán)。而影片的火爆，也吸引了好萊塢的極大關(guān)注。盡管姜文心目中的好萊塢公司(指演員陣容)還未公布，但網(wǎng)友們已經(jīng)開始在網(wǎng)上幫姜導(dǎo)做起了選擇。角色張牧之重點在味道，“海盜 ”強尼戴普得票最多。
這則新聞故事貼切大眾生活，而且《讓子彈飛》上映后，票房劇增，口碑熱傳，似乎都預(yù)示這部影片是成功，而且可以引起大家的共鳴，而且考官聽了也會有種眼前一亮的感覺，這樣就能在眾多考生中脫穎而出，從而獲取理想的考分。
