话题写作(六)
学校生活(School life)
话题体裁
关于学校生活话题的写作材料来源于学生生活实际,描述的景物就在学生周围,叙述的事件就发生在学习过程中,所以无论是记叙文还是说明文,该类话题的写作都比较容易寻找题材和信息,不会无话可写。但涉及学校生活中某一现象的讨论,就相对难一些了。尤其是寻找相应的论据来论证自己的观点,或是以通知.便条等应用文的形式来反映学校生活的写作,就需要作者很好地组织材料,精心地谋篇布局,用流畅的语言来表述。
话题内容
学校生活类话题作文有时涉及学校设施.组织机构.人员组成等方面的内容,如学校学习场所.办公场所.饮食起居等生活区场所的描述,学校班级.学生于老师及其他工作人员的介绍等,有时也涉及与学生生活有关的文娱体育活动以及日常生活细节等方面的细节讨论,但常以学校的教育活动为主要话题进行写作,如讨论教学方式.学习方法.业余活动的利弊或者意义等。

话题作文
暑假后你旅居美国的亲戚要将自己的孩子送到你所在的城市中某中学借读。但他们非常担心学生就餐问题,尤其学校午餐的情况。请你以"School Lunch"为题,写一篇120~150词的英语短文,将此方面的情况向他们做一下介绍,并简单谈谈自己的看法。注意写作要包括以下要点:
安排学生在校午餐的对于学生和家长的必要性。
目前你所了解的部分学校午餐的情况,包括正反两个方面。
介绍某些学校午餐改进的做法和措施。
写作指导
学校午餐是学生们比较熟悉的话题,写作起来应该是有感而发。但要客观地描述题目要必须包括的内容。写作的内容属于说明性描述和自己建议的结合,切忌任意发挥,牢骚满篇,以致跑题。文章的时态可以选用现在时描述客观情况,人称考虑用第三人称(school;school lunch)或第一人称(we)等。

School Lunch
Generally speaking,school lunch can not only save students'time,but also help the working person solve their worries for they have little time at noon to care about their children, especially when parents can not live together with their children. Therefore school lunch is very important for students’ health. Most schools in our city can offer good and healthy food for students at a reasonable price. However ,some schools provided poor food at a high price to earn more money. They paid no attention to the nutrition problem. Worse still, they sometimes sell unclean food that causes many illnesses.
To our great joy, some schools have taken measures to ensure the students’ healthy lunch at school ,which would be cleaner and richer in nutrition. Some schools will invite students and parents to join in monitoring and checking the quality of school lunch.
