在這個輔導中，我們要為同學們提供兩種學習方式練習用英語寫短文。第一種方式是中國式的“描紅模子”方法，另一種是“美國寫作訓練法”。
我們曾說過，“冰凍三尺，非一日之寒”，用英語寫作，是積英語語言學習各項技能為一體的學習過程，需要長期不懈的練習，才能獲取基本的寫作技能。
希望同學們看完下面的練習方式后，能提出您的建議，說說喜歡采用什么樣的學習方式？我們盡量按照同學們的要求，為你們安排相應的練習內容。
方式一 描紅模子
同學們好：
什么叫“描紅模子”呢？換句話說就是“模仿范例”，還可以叫“臨字帖”。
學習英語寫作，重要的第一步就要會模仿范例，我們這里選的范例不選名家名作，而選我們身邊的生活話題，比如說學校生活、同窗好友、假期生活、學習之道、成功之路、習慣愛好等等，這些話題都是同學們身邊觸手可摸的現(xiàn)實，能夠激起寫作欲望，并能有東西可寫。
下面就是我們從《英文模范作文新詞典》（張震久、袁憲軍主編，北京大學出版社2005年）中選取的一篇短文，供同學們做“描紅模子”之用，希望能幫助同學們盡快掌握寫作的基本技能。
College Experience
提示：
1、 這是一篇記敘文（narrative）。還記得寫記敘文的方法嗎？
2、 這樣的記敘文通常會描寫那些有關方面呢？
3、 有些什么相關詞匯呢？
4、 主要動詞時態(tài)應該用過去時嗎？
好，同學們讀讀這篇短文，看看能否得到一些回答。
College Life
I entered the college two years ago. Since then I have been enjoying a regular but interesting life. On weekdays I get up early in the morning, go to classes during the day and do my assignments in the evening. However, there are all kinds of activities available in my spare time: lectures, shows, football matches or dances. Sometimes I do not know which one to choose. Life in college is entirely different from any I have known before.
Here in college I have encountered a brand new world of knowledge. The first time I went to the library I was amazed at the vast number of books stored there. In class the teachers are like magicians leading us to a new world. I feel I am learning bit by bit to become a useful person.
Although I may look the same on the outside, inside many changes have taken place. I am no longer the ignorant girl who first came to college. I am used to living with six other students in a large dormitory. I have learned be independent and make decisions for myself.
好，現(xiàn)在同學們可以試著“臨帖子”啦。同樣寫學校生活，你們的學校生活有區(qū)別嗎？在不動示范短文結構的基礎上，先和你的同學討論一下，互相啟迪一下，如何回答上面的問題，還有些什么補充？
下面選出的幾個句子是建議性的，看看同學們回答完問題后，準備怎么將這篇短文變成你自己的文章？
（1）“I”just entered the RTVU college, everything is new to me;
（2）This college is quite different compared with the schools I have been. I learn by myself with tutors’ help;
（3）There are many books and computers in the college library where I can download learning materials and asking questions via Internet;
（4）It’s convenient for me to stay home learning, only go to campus on weekends;
（5）Learning by this way, I could learn while work, and explore more opportunities;
……
同學們可以利用上面提供的句子，大家討論一下，怎么對短文做進行修改，既可以逐句改，也可以按段落改，一點點的，互相幫助，互相啟發(fā)，你的短文也誕生了，這樣做有意思嗎，能不能對你的寫作有點幫助？
