Living alone or Living with Roommates
Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussionamong the college students as to
whetherthey should live alone outside the campus orlive together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.(提出观点段)
Those who are in favor ofliving alone maintain thatit is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet. (反面论述段)
But others argue thatliving with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.(正面论述段)
As far as I’m concerned, I prefer tolive with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent an apartment outside the campus. (总结观点段)

College Students’ Job Hunting
In recent years, college studentsfind it increasingly difficult toget a job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? (提出问题段)
There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant
jobs they consider not“good” enough. Another reason is thatthere is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.(说明原因段)
Solution to the problem requiresefforts on both the society and the students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains. They should be down-to–earth in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent. (解决问题段)

Credit Cards
Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the
change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.(描述现象段)
But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.(说明问题段)
However, wisely used credit cards can improve the quality of people’s lives. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.(总结观点段)

英语作文模板万能句型范文第3篇
首段 引出话题 展示文采
二段 说理，对话题进行发散
三段 举例说明观点态度
四段 承上启下，并再一次出现话题原词原句这样就不会离题了
五段 再一次的例证
六段 再一次的过度，并总结你的观点态度
七段 来一个精采的结尾，并再一次出现话题原词原句
这就是七段法了，这是十分有效的方法，作文一般的和不一般的都适用，这方法的关键是首与尾段的精彩词，你可以多看人家作文的首尾段再总结一个通用的开头和结尾就可以，不过这要花相当大的功夫，怕麻烦的还可以搬好的过来直接用就行了，但就不主张，加油吧，一定行。
使用高考语文作文考场万能模板，文章采用“排比抒情”的写作模式。层次清晰，逻辑性强。结构严谨。很好地诠释了“排比抒情式”的模式。作文模板策略技巧
1、概念：它是利用标志性的语句，呈全文的段落排比，并以此连缀平行性或递进性材料，建筑一唱三叹的文章结构模式。
2、适合文体及内容：“排比抒情式”适用于抒情散文的写作。
3、成败关键点：行文中，内部材料可能是并列平行的，可能是逐层递进的。
如果属并列平行类材料，一定要注意角度清晰，不可交杂不清;如果属逐层递进型材料，一定要注意脉络清晰。另外，如能恰当实现设问、比喻、引用等修辞与排比的综合巧用，会收到强烈的表现渲染效果。

力争，保住了宋的江山与子民。
墨子，你就是一道风景。
“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青。”至死不屈，拒绝降元的文天祥让人崇拜。
文天祥，你就是一道风景。
如何有效学习语文获得高分：
一、字音
大家需要养成良好的学习习惯——构建个性化的知识清单。把不常考的、自己完全掌握的内容全部地剔除，随着练习、老师的讲解不断地补充到这个清单里。
建议大家用不同颜色的笔，将这些知识进行区别。红颜色标出的是“困难的、容易忘记的”;蓝颜色标出来的“不及时复习会忘记”的内容;什么都不标的部分属于“看看就可以记住”的部分，因为每个人对字音的敏感度是不同的，有的人、也许他本身的名字就带有某个难读的字，从小就认识也不会读错。所以这个清单的标注是为自己量身定制的。**起来就是一个错题本。
二、古诗鉴赏
建议大家能够每周看看名家对于诗词鉴赏的文章，在这个情景中加深对古诗词真正的体会。古诗词鉴赏其实难度是非常高的，所以我们不能在考试前最后的时候、高三冲刺的时候片面地强调方法，方法是给有准备的人使用的，在此之前要首先要做好积累。
三、文言文
掌握好“熟悉的字”。在现代汉语中某些字大家都特别熟悉，但是放在文言文之中，同样的一个字就变成了另外一种意思。例如“是”这个字，大家都认识，在文言文中“是”大多作“方位代词”来用。它作为判断动词的时候，大约起始于南北朝时期，所以注意这些熟悉的字在文言文中的意思和用法就是我们学习文言文的中心。
四、现代文阅读
在现代文阅读部分，大家应该注意几个方面：
1、状态。我们需要注意在阅读时是否能够全神贯注，无论是谁，如果注意力不能集中在文字上，谁的阅读都会很差，要想取得一个很好的分数，一定要在阅读时保持一个良好的
状态。
