節(jié)日出行-Holidays and Outings
Holidays and Outings(節(jié)日出行)
【要求】
和外國朋友交談是文化生活中很重要的一部分，但是談什么話題卻要慎重考慮，因為各國風俗習慣不同，談的東西要關涉到禁忌、興趣。學校的英語角將要組織一次對外交流活動。請你以書面形式寫一些可以作為談話的材料。
【范文】
Holidays and Outings
It is common in English to ask people about their holidays. In the West many families go away on holiday during the summer months and so it is very usual to ask about this. If the holiday has not yet taken place, then their holiday plans can be talked about. And if it is already over, then where they went, whether they enjoyed it and so on can be discussed. Similar questions are asked before festivals and pubic holidays.
Foreigners living and working in China often have frequent opportunities for travel, either at weekends or during their holiday periods, so questions on this topic can often lead to fruitful discussions. They may be particularly interested to hear comments on which places are worth visiting and why, especially if these places are a little less well known and not clearly desCRIbed in the tour guides.
Take vacaticn and long weekends. Never let vacation time expire.
【評語】
看完上文，可知這實際上是一篇討論英語話題的文章。從這個角度來寫“Holidays and Outings”這個題目可謂不無新義。但是在與外國人交往時談些什么都是一個很現實的問題。本文提供了這一范例。全篇也圍這個問題來寫，幾乎每句話都是緊扣中心的。比如它始終突出了這是一個話題，就反復用“ask”、“discuss”、以及“comment”等詞。
