Dear friends (3),
It is March 12th today. At half past eight, all the teachers and students in our school gathered in front of the school gate. Then we went on foot to the Western Hill to plant trees. Before we started working, the teacher gave us a talk on the importance of planting trees. He said that trees can help to keep the air clean, protect us from strong wind and sand and make our city more beautiful. Then he showed us how to plant trees and asked each of us to plant at least five trees.
After that we started working. Some strong boys dug holes, some carried water and some girls put trees in the holes. We all worked hard. Among us, Lin Tao, our monitor set a good example to us. Though he was ill, he worked harder. When he finished his task, he went on to help others. He was wet all over after work. Looking at the lines of the young trees, we smiled happily.
Truly yours, (4

李华平时总是忙于功课,很少做家务。母亲节这一天,她想帮妈妈做饭,却不小心切了手指,本想让妈妈在节日期间好好休息,却未能如愿。以“On Mother’s Day”为题写一篇词数为80-100的短文。要求条理清晰、意思连贯、语句通顺、标点正确。

On Mother's Day
I'm usually busy with my studies and do few (1) housework when I come back from school. It was Mother's Day yesterday. I wanted Mum to have a good rest and I did all instead (2) her. I got up early yesterday morning and bought a lot of vegetables, fish and meat in the market. I washed them and then began to cook. I was sure I could do as well like (3) Mum. Bad luck! I cut one of my fingers and cried out. Mum and Dad rushed into (4) and Mum asked Dad to take me to the hospital. When we came back, dinner (5) ready. I felt sorry and said, “Mum had a busy Mother's Day again!”
【精讲点拨】
(1)housework是不可数名词,应用little来修饰。(2)instead是副词,后不能接宾语,这儿应该用instead of。
(3)like虽然可用作介词,意为“像”,但这儿是as... as...结构,因此此处应改为as well as...。
(4)into是介词,其后要接宾语,但句中无宾语,所以改为副词in。
(5)ready是形容词,不能单独作谓语,所以其前要加was。

中考英语书面表达常见错误分析(六) 汉式英语要点领悟
不同的民族有不同的语言表达习惯。我国学生在用英语写作时由于受汉语表达习惯的影响,加之对英语词语的真正含义把握不准,往往拿汉语去套英语,结果写出的文章到处都是汉式英语(Chinglish)。这样的文章,只有中国人能看懂,外国人看不懂。这就达不到与外国人交流思想的目的。要改变这种状况,一是要准确把握英语词语的含义,二是要排除汉语表达习惯的干扰。这样才能写出地道的英语文章。

精讲点拨
上面的这篇习作虽然我们都能看懂是什么意思,但由于受汉语思维的影响,里面充满了因文化差异而产生的错误。
(1) “home”的汉语意思虽然也是“家”,但它指“家”时一般只指地点而不指人。根据英语习惯该句应改为My family has a lovely small cat或We keep a lovely small cat at home。
(2) “昨天晚上”要么表达为yesterday evening,要么表达为last night。但根据语境,这里用前者较合适。
(3) 根据英语表达习惯,“一场大雨”应表达为a heavy rain,而不是a big rain。
(4) be all wet的意思是“完全错了”。要表达“全身湿透了”,可以用wet through或completely wet。
(5) 由于受汉语“虽然……但是”结构的影响而出错。在英语中,although和but在一个句子中不能连用。
(6) 这里要表达“不管怎么说”,可以用anyway或anyhow,文中的表达显然属于汉式英语。

(3) by 交通工具名词时,其间不用冠词或其他修饰词。

(5) “……充(结)满……”有两种表示方法,be full of ... 或be filled with...。
(6) 英语中在表示吃一日三餐时,三餐前不加冠词。

1. everyone是不定代词,它可以用作主语,但不能和含of的介词短语连用。此处应把Everyone分开,即Every one,或者用Each来替换它。但要注意,这里不能用Every,因为它不能用作主语。
2. chance表示“机会”的意思讲时是可数名词,须和冠词连用。由于该句是否定句,如果在它前面加上any,它需要变成复数。最便捷的办法是,把not换成no,表示not a,如果no后接的名词是复数,它则表示not any。
3. 考生对worth一词的用法显然不清楚。worth常用于be worth doing这一结构。be worth后不能接动词不定式,而要接V-ing形式。因此,应当把to visit改为visiting。
4. hope一词不能用于hope sb. to do sth.结构,如果要表达“希望某人做某事”要用hope接that从句。因此要将you to visit改为you can visit。
5. 应将sometimes改为sometime。sometimes意为“有时”,而sometime 的意思是“某个时间”,指某个不确定或未说明的时间。

众所周知吸烟有害健康。请以“Smoking is harmful to health”为题写一篇至少100词的英语短文,来介绍一下吸烟的危害,以唤起人们戒烟。
习作实况
Smoking is harmful to health
As (1) is known to all that smoking is bad for health. In China there have (2) millions of smokers. Each year millions of people die from smoking.
Smoking makes many people ill. Those who often smoke have black teeth. Lots of smokers cough day and night. Lung cancer is one of the most serious illnesses that are caused by smoking. Many people suffer from this terrible disease and lose their lives.
Smoking does harm not only to smokers themselves, but also to non-smokers, especially women and children. They may have their health harm (3) because of the smoke caused by cigarettes.
Everyone agrees that smoking is not good for health, but it is not easy for smokers to giving up smoking (4). I hope all the smokers will stop smoking for the good of their own health and also for the people around them. Let’s enjoying (5) clean and fresh air together.
精讲点拨
(1)将As改为It。“It is known to all that 从句”是一个固定结构。意思是“众所周知……”。
(2)句型there is/are表示“某地有某物”，该句型强调“存在”，而have/has常用来表达“某人有某物”，强调“所有”，其主语通常是人。因此，将have改为are。
(3)将harm改为harmed。“have sth. done”是一个固定结构,意思是“使 / 让某物遭受……”。本句的意思是“吸烟产生的毒气很可能使他们(妇女、儿童)的健康遭受到侵害”,因为health被smoke损害,因此,要用过去分词harmed,以表示被动的含义。
(4)英语中表达“某人做某事很不容易”常用句型“It is not easy for sb. to do sth.”。 应将giving up smoking改为give up smoking。
(5)let’s后要跟动词原形构成“Let’s do sth.”结构。应将enjoying改为enjoy。

人称和时态的误用是英语书面表达中最为常见的错误。英文写作对人称和时态的要求很严格。常用的时态有八种之多,初中阶段最常见有六种动词时态。在写作时,英语初学者要准确判断一个动作应该用哪种时态来表示。首先要判断动作发生的时间是现在、过去还是将来,注意动作是在进行还是已经完成等,据此确定该用什么时态;然后,要熟练掌握各种时态所必须使用的谓语动词结构和词形变化;整篇文章完成后,要检查“时态、语态、主谓一致”等是否正确。这样就可以少犯错误。

电脑是当代的高科技产品(a high-tech product),在我们的生活中越来越普及,几乎深入到每个家庭。电脑可以帮我们处理(handle)很多事情。列举一些事例,写一篇关于电脑在日常生活中的用途的文章,说明电脑的利弊。

But we also know that the computer was (3) bad for our eyes, especially for the young kids’. Now there are more and more children who have to wear glasses in order to see clearly.

Only in this way can you have a bright future.
精讲点拨
(1)作者在文章开头使用了the computer一词,来代表电脑这一类产品。因此,that从句中如果使用they are,就和句首的主语the computer(单数名词)不一致,因此应将they are 改为it is。
(2)众所周知,电脑在我们的日常生活中正在起着很重要的作用。因此,不能理解成电脑将要帮助我们处理很多事务,而是现在(每天)电脑都在帮助人们处理日常事务,这种help是经常的,反复发生的,应用一般现在时。因此,要改为 helps。
(3)我们看到的事实是,电脑在为人们做了大量的好事的同时,也给人们带来了麻烦。而且,这种困扰现在就存在,即:电脑天天在损害我们的健康和眼睛。应用一般现在时is。
(4) want一词一般没有将来时。另外,本句是由if引导的条件状语从句,按英语的时态规则“主句用一般将来时,从句应用一般现在时”。 将will want改为want。
(5)将we改为you。从本句的条件句可以看出,“如果你在年轻的时候,既想学到知识,又想拥有一双明亮的眼睛,你就记住,玩电脑可不要超越底线。”在这里,前后句的人称要保持一致。
