【話題分析】
中國傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深,源遠流長。繼承和弘揚中華傳統(tǒng)文化,不僅可以提高人們的思想道德水準,還有利于振奮民族精神,增強民族凝聚力,促進社會的和諧發(fā)展與穩(wěn)定。因此,傳統(tǒng)文化一直是中小學思想、文化、愛國主義教育中被關注的主題。傳統(tǒng)文化也是中外文化差異的一個重要體現(xiàn),是許多外國朋友感興趣的一個話題。傳統(tǒng)文化內(nèi)容多年來一直是各地中考英語試題書面表達的熱點話題。
此話題主要包括說明介紹中國各種節(jié)假日的起源、慶?;顒优c方式,介紹各種禮儀和習俗以及傳統(tǒng)文化的傳承與發(fā)展等。
此話題與日常生活密切相關,選材廣泛。從寫作體裁上看,我們可以寫成記敘文、說明文、議論文或其他應用性文體。寫作時,我們要注意講述簡潔明了,不可拖泥帶水。
【寫作任務】
假設你是張華,你的美國朋友Mike想通過你了解中國的傳統(tǒng)禮儀和習俗。請你根據(jù)提示,給Mike 寫一封e-mail,向他介紹中國的禮儀、習俗。
1. 談論中國的一些禮儀習俗和被期望做的事;
2. 介紹中美禮儀習俗的差異及做法;
3. 中國禮儀博大精深,有問題請及時復信說明。
要求:1. 語言表達準確,短文連貫、通順;
2. 詞數(shù)90左右。文章開頭部分已給出,不計入總詞數(shù)。

I’m glad to hear from you. It’s true that Chinese customs are different from yours in America.

【思路點撥】
本文是一篇開放式情節(jié)續(xù)寫文,體裁屬于應用文體類書信,此話題屬于傳統(tǒng)文化內(nèi)容,這與我們的日常生活緊密相連。本文要求作者向美國朋友Mike介紹中國的禮儀、習俗等內(nèi)容。
寫此文時,首先要研讀提示信息,篩選寫作素材,構思寫作思路。就本文特點,可采用四段式寫法:第一段寫出主題句,中美兩國禮儀和習俗存在差異(文中已給出);第二、三段著重具體講述某些中國的禮儀、習俗以及講述在中國與美國不同國家里的不同做法;第四段針對第二、三段內(nèi)容做出總結以滿足Mike的需求。寫作時,我們要用自己熟悉、親切的語言通俗易懂地去表述事例,并展開想象適當發(fā)揮,這樣就會寫出一篇豐富多彩的作文。
注意事項
1. 選好素材,合理安排段落;
2. 把開頭段補充完整;
3. 注意正確運用時態(tài),講述現(xiàn)在禮儀通常以一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)為主;
4. 適當發(fā)揮想象力,發(fā)表自己的看法、主張或建議。
【范文展示】
Dear Mike,
I’m glad to hear from you. It’s true that Chinese customs are different from yours in America. Let me give you some suggestions about Chinese customs.
When you meet others for the first time, you are supposed to shake hands instead of kissing. It’s polite to hand out your right hand and shake it with another person’s right hand. When you are eating at the table, you should let the old start first. When you are eating with your chopsticks, it’s impolite to point at other people with your chopsticks. It’s also impolite to stick your chopsticks into the bowl of rice and leave them there.
When you go out with people, you are supposed to tell the hostess where you are going, who you are going with and when you will come back. In our culture, the hostess will worry about the safety of her guests, so it’s polite to let her know these things.
China is an ancient civilization country with a history of over five thousand years. There are many different kinds of customs. I have told you only a small part of them above. If you have something else, please write me back.
Have a safe trip and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Yours,
Zhang Hua
