近年來,隨著新課改的深入推進,高考英語書面表達題呈現(xiàn)一些新的特點和趨勢。具體來說,寫作情景的設置更加靈活多樣、寫作話題新穎時尚,提綱作文逐步代替了要點作文,寫作的開放性逐步增強。而且,有些省市書面表達的分值有所增加。顯而易見,高考加大了對學生寫作能力的考查力度。
但是,高考閱卷發(fā)現(xiàn),考生在英語寫作方面存在各種問題:有些考生審題不清,導致短文偏離主題;有的行文缺乏邏輯,層次混亂;有的語言表達生硬,寫出的句子明顯帶有漢語句式的痕跡;還有些考生詞不達意,不能很好地完成寫作任務。正是缺乏必備的英語寫作技巧影響了考生書面表達試題的得分。本刊將刊登系列英語寫作輔導稿件,以幫助同學們提高英語書面表達能力。本期“快樂學堂”將探討如何寫英語辯論稿。

【參考范文1】(正方觀點)
In recent years, many schools have taken tough measures to forbid students from bringing their mobile phones to school, which has caused heated debate among parents. I am in favor of banning students bringing phones to school. My reasons are as follows.
First, there is no need to bring mobile phones to school because students can use public phones to contact their parents in case of an emergency. And parents can call the teachers to reach their children. Besides, mobile phones distract students from concentrating on their lessons as they may chat online with their friends or surf the Internet after class. Third, students are likely to compare the brands of their mobile phones with their classmates.
To sum up, I strongly support banning mobile phones in schools.

【參考范文2】(反方觀點)
Recently, many schools have taken tough measures to forbid students from bringing mobile phones to school, about which teachers and parents have different opinions. In my opinion, students should be allowed to bring their phones to school. Here are my reasons.
First of all, it is convenient for students keep in touch with their parents so that parents can know how their children are getting along at school. Secondly, mobile phones make it easy for students to contact their friends when they are in need of help. More importantly, students can relax themselves by listening to music or playing games after class.
All in all, students should be allowed to bring mobile phones to school as long as they can use them in a proper way.
小心有狗!
As a stranger entered a little country store, he noticed a sign warning, “Danger! Beware of dog!” posted on the glass door.
Inside, he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register.
“Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?” he asked the owner.
“Yep, thats him,” came the reply.
The stranger couldnt help but be amused.
“That certainly doesnt look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?”
“Because,” the owner explained, “Before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him!”
一名陌生人走進一家鄉(xiāng)間小商店,看到玻璃門上帖著的一個告示牌上寫著,“危險! 小心有狗!”
進去后,他看到一條樣子一點都不兇的老狗趴在收款機旁邊的地板上睡覺。
“這就是大伙都得留神的那只狗???” 陌生人問店主。
“是,就是他”,店主回答。
聽到這個回答, 陌生人覺得很好笑。
“我覺得那條狗一點都不可怕。 你帖那個告示做什么?”
“因為,” 店主解釋說,“在我帖告示之前, 大伙老被他絆倒。”
