高考英語(yǔ)開放作文
1. 什么是開放作文?
所謂開放“作文”,是相對(duì)于我們過(guò)去一直沿用的“書面表達(dá)”這種指導(dǎo)性寫作(Guided Writing)而言的。它是一種比傳統(tǒng)的“書面表達(dá)”限制較少的、留給考生自由發(fā)揮空間更多的考查學(xué)生書面表達(dá)能力的一種題型。
2. 開放作文與傳統(tǒng)的“書面表達(dá)”有何不同?
傳統(tǒng)“書面表達(dá)”屬于指導(dǎo)性寫作,考生在寫作時(shí)不需要獨(dú)立構(gòu)思,不需要去發(fā)揮,只需考慮如何用正確的英語(yǔ)表述出指定的內(nèi)容。其目的在于考查書面語(yǔ)言知識(shí),包括拼寫、大小寫、詞法、句法、篇章結(jié)構(gòu)等內(nèi)容。
開放作文屬于命題作文,考生要根據(jù)所給命題,獨(dú)立進(jìn)行構(gòu)思,并必須做適當(dāng)?shù)陌l(fā)揮。它在一定程度上考查了考生的寫作能力,即要求考生根據(jù)寫作動(dòng)機(jī)選擇相應(yīng)的寫作策略,并根據(jù)自己已經(jīng)具備的相應(yīng)知識(shí)完成寫作。
3. 開放作文有哪些命題模式?
(1)純粹的“命題作文”
例如美國(guó)考試部門曾經(jīng)給出一個(gè)詞“高興”,讓學(xué)生寫作文。
(2)半控制的“命題作文”
如2002年臺(tái)灣省的一份高考試卷的作文就是這類試題。原題如下:
① 根據(jù)提示,在答案卷上寫一篇英文作文。
② 文長(zhǎng)120個(gè)單詞(words)左右。
提示:
以“Growing up is a/ an _______ experience”為題寫一篇英文作文,描述你成長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)是令人興奮的(exciting),令人困惑的(confusing),快樂(lè)的(happy)或是痛苦的(painful),除了這些形容詞之外,你也可以用其他的形容詞來(lái)描述你成長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。請(qǐng)務(wù)必提出具體的例子以描述你成長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。(注意:如果你用的形容詞以子音起始,請(qǐng)選擇冠詞“a”,如“a confusing experience”;如果你用的形容詞以母音起始,請(qǐng)選擇冠詞“an”,如“an exciting experience”。)
(3)寫接續(xù)文字
例如2002年臺(tái)灣省的另一份高考試卷的寫作試題。原題如下:
① 依提示在“答案卷”上寫一篇英文作文。
② 文長(zhǎng)約120至150個(gè)單詞左右。
提示:
文章請(qǐng)以“If I won two million dollars in the lottery, I would help…”開始,敘述如果你贏得臺(tái)灣東透彩臺(tái)幣兩百萬(wàn)元后,最想把全數(shù)金額拿去幫助的人、機(jī)構(gòu)或組織,并定出理由。
北京市的“開放作文”采用第三種命題模式,試題“給定一段素材”,提供一個(gè)情景,讓考生在此基礎(chǔ)上充分發(fā)揮想象力寫一段不少于30字的接續(xù)文字。下面是北京市2003年英語(yǔ)科《考試說(shuō)明》所給“開放作文”的樣題:
根據(jù)下面提供的情景,寫一段接續(xù)文字。
注意:詞數(shù)不少于30。
You and your friend are in your room. He finds one of the windows is broken and says, “Your window is broken. What happened?”
You tell him what happened:
…
ONE POSSIBLE VERSION:
I guess it was all my fault. My mother was doing some reading by the window yesterday, and she asked me to get a book from the bookshelf for her. It was a hardcover and a little thick. I got the book and decided to throw it to her. But she missed it, and it broke the window.
4. 開放作文有什么優(yōu)勢(shì)?
綜上可見,開發(fā)作文將給定文章的標(biāo)題或主題(topic),或給定一段素材,讓學(xué)生在此基礎(chǔ)上充分發(fā)揮想象力展開寫作。這種考試形式留給考生更多的思考空間,考試與日常生活和實(shí)踐越來(lái)越緊密地聯(lián)系在一起。這樣的考試模式注重突出語(yǔ)言的應(yīng)用、突出在語(yǔ)境中對(duì)學(xué)生語(yǔ)言能力的考查。與傳統(tǒng)的“書面表達(dá)”相比,這種“開放作文”對(duì)學(xué)生構(gòu)思、表達(dá)、寫作以及語(yǔ)句的組織應(yīng)用能力有了更高的要求。它要求考生在寫開放作文時(shí),要注意審題,盡可能做到內(nèi)容充實(shí)、邏輯清晰、交際得體、語(yǔ)言準(zhǔn)確。這樣的考試模式能讓考生發(fā)揮出自己的特長(zhǎng),能更好選拔優(yōu)秀學(xué)生。
開放作文具有傳統(tǒng)的“書面表達(dá)”沒(méi)有的優(yōu)勢(shì)。隨著學(xué)生英語(yǔ)水平的整體提高和考試技術(shù)的完善,“開放作文”的考試模式會(huì)更加開放,要求也會(huì)更高。比如:除可寫接續(xù)性的文字外,也可以寫一些諸如采訪提綱、科學(xué)報(bào)告等內(nèi)容的短文。開放作文終將取代傳統(tǒng)的“書面表達(dá)”,這是因?yàn)楦呖紝⒁荒瓯纫荒陱?qiáng)調(diào)語(yǔ)言的應(yīng)用能力,而控制性寫作無(wú)法適應(yīng)和滿足這一要求。開放作文正好填補(bǔ)了這一空白。

[POSSIBLE VERSIONS]

I broke my ankle on my way to school this morning. I was almost ready for school when the phone rang. It was my grandfather. He told me that my grandmother had fallen down and hurt her leg badly. My mother and I rushed to their house and then took my grandmother to the hospital. Then I rode my bike to school very fast. Suddenly a car drove towards me and knocked me off my bike. Luckily, there was nothing seriously wrong.

You know I am a football fan. I play football every day. Although the weather is bad today, I still did it as usual. The rain just stopped and we went to the playground. During the match I was hit over and my left leg was hurt. I couldn’t move. My classmates sent me to the hospital. The doctor examined me carefully and said that it was nothing serious. He gave me some pills and asked me to stay in bed for several days.

The 13th of July 2001 saw Beijing’s success in bidding to host the 2008 Olympic Games. The news excited every one of us.
Although there are two yeas to go before our dream really comes true, preparations for the great event have been underway already. One of the major concerns is to improve the English language competence(能力) of the whole nation. With athletes coming from countries across the world, English will be used as a working language to help people with different cultures communicate with each other. This explains why the Chinese government encourages English language courses at schools of different levels. Another important issue is “Green Beijing”. In order to reduce the air pollution in Beijing and make it more beautiful than ever, more trees are being planted.
I’m sure that Beijing will take on a greener look when the 2008 Olympic Games come. And I sincerely hope that it will be the most successful event in the history of Olympiad.

How to Get Rid of Bad Habits
We all have certain kinds of bad habits we are ashamed of. Once we are in bad habit, it is wise to get rid of it immediately. But it is not so easy to do.
To get rid of a bad habit, we should first get to know how bad it really is. Let us take the habit of smoking as an example. It is a waste of money. A heavy smoker spends almost as much money a day as he pays for his own meals. Besides, smoking is also harmful to one’s health. It can result in lung cancer and heart attack. People who can realize this will stop spending money damaging his health.
To get rid of a bad habit, we should also have courage and a strong will. Let us again take the habit of smoking as an example. Many smokers pick up the habit again soon after they are determined to give it up. A lot of them can not tell how many times they have attempted to do it. So it is impossible to get rid of any bad habit if you don’t have a strong determination.
However, no matter how difficult it is, we should never give up doing away with bad habits. In fact, many people succeed in giving up their bad habits. Once we are aware of the bad habits, we should never find any excuse, instead, we should do away with it with a strong determination.

How I deal with disappointments
Life is inevitably(不可避免地) filled with twists and turns. Mine is no exception. I sometimes come across obstacles(障礙), feeling disappointed and frustrated(失敗的). In such plights(情況,困境), I usually try to stay as cool as a cucumber. There are, however, some disappointments I can not tackle(處理,應(yīng)付) alone, then I will sing lots of songs loudly along with them or cry out with an eye to release my emotions. Coming back home, I will tell my mom what has taken place. Then she will always console(安慰) me. In coping with my disappointments, I lean heavily on my parents’ and friends’ support for me. I always appreciate what they have done for me. In consequence(結(jié)果), no matter what adversity(不幸,逆境) I confront(面臨), I think I can face up to it with courage and confidence.

In this picture, there are four people: a girl, her father, her mother with a medicine case and her grandmother. The girl is riding a bicycle, with her father running on the right, her mother running on the left, and her grandmother watching her worriedly. Both her parents give hands to help ride, although they are out of breath.
I think this is not a story, but a true reflection of the Chinese society. In each family, there is usually one child, so he or she is the center of the family. His or her parents, even grandparents do everything for him or her, such as dressing, cooking, washing and so on. So when the child grows to a certain age, and when he or she knows he or she should do something, he or she may ask like the one in the picture, “Could you let me ride all alone?”
In my opinion, parents should give their children enough room to live by themselves. Only when their children can live all or partly by themselves can they be the true owners of country tomorrow. Please give them a free hand!

A
Growing up is an exciting experience
When I was a child, I enjoyed playing very much. I played games with other boys every day. My parents expected me to be a knowledgeable man. So they sent me to school early. But the school refused to accept me because I was too young. Two years later I became a student when I was eight years old. During the years in school I often failed in exams. But with the help of my teachers, I worked hard and finally I got the first place in our class. How proud I was then!
B
Growing up is a happy experience
When I was seven, a traffic accident happened to me. I was badly hurt and lost my right arm. I became a disabled girl. I was very sad. I was afraid of being laughed at. I didn’t want to go out to play with other children.
At the age of nine my life changed. My headmaster helped me. He encouraged me to go to school and play with other children. He said he believed I would be a good student. Under his encouragement I went to school and worked very hard.
In the school I learned how to live on myself, how to get along well with others and how to be a strong girl. Now I am very sanguine(滿懷希望的). I have many friends. Growing up is really a happy experience.
C
Growing up is a painful experience
I once had a happy family. But when I was fourteen, everything changed. My father got a bad illness and got operated. But he was still weak. Sometimes pain attacked him.
The operation cost very much. My family fell into difficulty. Because of this my sister couldn’t go to school any longer.
Now with the help of our relatives, friends and neighbors, our situation is becoming better and better. I’ll study hard to show my thanks to those people who help us.

I broke my ankle on my way to school this morning. I was almost ready for school when the phone rang. It was my grandfather. He told me that my grandmother had fallen down and hurt her leg badly. My mother and I rushed to their house and then took my grandmother to the hospital. Then I rode my bike to school very fast. Suddenly a car drove towards me and knocked me off my bike. Luckily, there was nothing seriously wrong.

You know I am a football fan. I play football every day. Although the weather is bad today, I still did it as usual. The rain just stopped and we went to the playground. During the match I was hit over and my left leg was hurt. I couldn’t move. My classmates sent me to the hospital. The doctor examined me carefully and said that it was nothing serious. He gave me some pills and asked me to stay in bed for several days.

The 13th of July 2001 saw Beijing’s success in bidding to host the 2008 Olympic Games. The news excited every one of us.
Although there are two yeas to go before our dream really comes true, preparations for the great event have been underway already. One of the major concerns is to improve the English language competence(能力) of the whole nation. With athletes coming from countries across the world, English will be used as a working language to help people with different cultures communicate with each other. This explains why the Chinese government encourages English language courses at schools of different levels. Another important issue is “Green Beijing”. In order to reduce the air pollution in Beijing and make it more beautiful than ever, more trees are being planted.
I’m sure that Beijing will take on a greener look when the 2008 Olympic Games come. And I sincerely hope that it will be the most successful event in the history of Olympiad.

How to Get Rid of Bad Habits
We all have certain kinds of bad habits we are ashamed of. Once we are in bad habit, it is wise to get rid of it immediately. But it is not so easy to do.
To get rid of a bad habit, we should first get to know how bad it really is. Let us take the habit of smoking as an example. It is a waste of money. A heavy smoker spends almost as much money a day as he pays for his own meals. Besides, smoking is also harmful to one’s health. It can result in lung cancer and heart attack. People who can realize this will stop spending money damaging his health.
To get rid of a bad habit, we should also have courage and a strong will. Let us again take the habit of smoking as an example. Many smokers pick up the habit again soon after they are determined to give it up. A lot of them can not tell how many times they have attempted to do it. So it is impossible to get rid of any bad habit if you don’t have a strong determination.
However, no matter how difficult it is, we should never give up doing away with bad habits. In fact, many people succeed in giving up their bad habits. Once we are aware of the bad habits, we should never find any excuse, instead, we should do away with it with a strong determination.

How I deal with disappointments
Life is inevitably(不可避免地) filled with twists and turns. Mine is no exception. I sometimes come across obstacles(障礙), feeling disappointed and frustrated(失敗的). In such plights(情況,困境), I usually try to stay as cool as a cucumber. There are, however, some disappointments I can not tackle(處理,應(yīng)付) alone, then I will sing lots of songs loudly along with them or cry out with an eye to release my emotions. Coming back home, I will tell my mom what has taken place. Then she will always console(安慰) me. In coping with my disappointments, I lean heavily on my parents’ and friends’ support for me. I always appreciate what they have done for me. In consequence(結(jié)果), no matter what adversity(不幸,逆境) I confront(面臨), I think I can face up to it with courage and confidence.

In this picture, there are four people: a girl, her father, her mother with a medicine case and her grandmother. The girl is riding a bicycle, with her father running on the right, her mother running on the left, and her grandmother watching her worriedly. Both her parents give hands to help ride, although they are out of breath.
I think this is not a story, but a true reflection of the Chinese society. In each family, there is usually one child, so he or she is the center of the family. His or her parents, even grandparents do everything for him or her, such as dressing, cooking, washing and so on. So when the child grows to a certain age, and when he or she knows he or she should do something, he or she may ask like the one in the picture, “Could you let me ride all alone?”
In my opinion, parents should give their children enough room to live by themselves. Only when their children can live all or partly by themselves can they be the true owners of country tomorrow. Please give them a free hand!

A
Growing up is an exciting experience
When I was a child, I enjoyed playing very much. I played games with other boys every day. My parents expected me to be a knowledgeable man. So they sent me to school early. But the school refused to accept me because I was too young. Two years later I became a student when I was eight years old. During the years in school I often failed in exams. But with the help of my teachers, I worked hard and finally I got the first place in our class. How proud I was then!
B
Growing up is a happy experience
When I was seven, a traffic accident happened to me. I was badly hurt and lost my right arm. I became a disabled girl. I was very sad. I was afraid of being laughed at. I didn’t want to go out to play with other children.
At the age of nine my life changed. My headmaster helped me. He encouraged me to go to school and play with other children. He said he believed I would be a good student. Under his encouragement I went to school and worked very hard.
In the school I learned how to live on myself, how to get along well with others and how to be a strong girl. Now I am very sanguine(滿懷希望的). I have many friends. Growing up is really a happy experience.
C
Growing up is a painful experience
I once had a happy family. But when I was fourteen, everything changed. My father got a bad illness and got operated. But he was still weak. Sometimes pain attacked him.
The operation cost very much. My family fell into difficulty. Because of this my sister couldn’t go to school any longer.
Now with the help of our relatives, friends and neighbors, our situation is becoming better and better. I’ll study hard to show my thanks to those people who help us.
