【题型示例1】
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between his language and others’ language. Bit by bit, he makes the right changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things. They learn to talk, run, climb, ride a bicycle by comparing their own behaviors with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school teachers never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, even fewer chances for him to correct himself. They do it all for him. Teachers act as if the student would never notice a mistake if they did not point out it to him. They act as if the student would never correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let the student do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word means and what the answer is to that problem.

【参考答案】
Let Teachers Correct Our Mistakes
Some people think that teachers are correcting students’ mistakes too much. Students, leaning everything by copying their betters, can correct their own mistakes and teachers’ frequent correction will make children unable to judge their own work.
This opinion appeals to many people, but in fact it is unrealistic. In real learning situations, especially when learning a foreign language like English, it is really hard, if not impossible, for the student to make good progress without teachers constantly pointing out and correcting their mistakes. Learning English is much more complex and difficult than learning other things. I used to use words really too formal for a student’s writing. But I never realized it until my English teacher pointed out my problem and repeatedly replaced these words with simple ones. I owe thanks to him as I’m able to write in simple and beautiful English. So teachers should be encouraged to correct student’s mistakes as readily as possible.
【题型示例2】
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
I found out one time that doing a favour for someone could get you into trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something but I did not understand. So I leaned over and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
