书面表达
1.书面表达命题形式大多是文字提纲式,体裁以书信、邮件为主;以传统风俗、文化、节假日、语言学习、学校生活等学生熟悉的话题为主,现实感强,情景逼真,突出考查学生实际运用语言的能力。
2.书面表达不是单纯的命题作文,不能随意选材,任意发挥,它要求学生按照所给的情景材料组织内容,文章既限定词数,又要包含所有要点;它也不同于翻译,不能简单地将所有的要点逐一译成英语。它是一种指导性写作(guided writing),要求学生用学过的英语知识和掌握的技能、技巧准确使用语法和词汇以及一定的句型来清楚、连贯地表达自己的意思。
3.书面表达出现文章续写等形式,题材的内容也会越来越贴近生活。 例1

Tom has an aunt who lives in a far-off village. He hadn't seen her for two years and he really missed her. Tom spent a lot of time with his aunt when he was a little boy. At that time, his parents were too busy with their work, so they sent him to his aunt. It was his aunt who took care of him for a long time. He remembered that back then a girl sometimes played with him. But he couldn't remember her clearly. After all, it had been so many years before.
Last week, Tom decided to visit his aunt. And he called her first. \"Hello, Auntie. This is Tom. How are you?\" asked Tom over the phone.
\"I'm fine, Tom. Thanks. I'm just a bit lonely, \"said Tom's aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right
decision.
\"I'm coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you, \"he immediately said, thinking his aunt
would be surely full of joy.
“Really?that' s great! miss you so much.” his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by bus in the evening, but there was an accident
on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark
It's a ten-minute walk from the bus station to his aunt's house. The village had experienced a lot of
changes.Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.
He walked behind the girl. After about two minutes, it seemed that the girl noticed him. She looked back
hurriedly, and then continued to walk. Moments later, the girl looked back again and then quickened her pace.
Paragraph 1:
It seemed that the girl was a bit scared.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn't know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I'm sorry. Do I know you?” Eliza asked.
“I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother's childhood friend?

The other day, a friend of mine, whose name was Jack, received a car from his elder brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve, when Jack came out of his office, a dirty, shabby little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it very much.
“Is this your car, mister?\\” he asked in a low voice.
Jack nodded and said proudly, “Yes, my elder brother gave it to me as a Christmas present.\\” The boy was rather astonished. “You mean that your elder brother just gave the car to you and it didn't cost you anything? I wish ...\\” he hesitated.
Of course, Jack knew what the boy was going to wish for. He was going to wish that he had an elder brother like that. But what the little boy said jarred (刺激) Jack all the way down to his heels.
“I wish,\\” the boy went on, “that I could be an elder brother like that and could also give a car to my little brother as a Christmas present.\\”
Jack looked at the boy in astonishment and then impulsively (冲动地) said, “Would you like to have a ride in my car?\\”
“Oh, yes. I'd love that,\\” said the boy.
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes shining, and said shyly, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?\\”
Jack smiled a little. He thought that he knew what the little boy wanted to do. He just wanted to show his neighbours that he could return home in a big expensive car. But this time Jack was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?\\” the boy asked.

During my first seven semesters as a medical student at Cadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I spent most of my time studying in classrooms and I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting.
Then I started visiting the neurology ward (神经内科病房)at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, where I was gathering data for my paper. At the hospital I would review the medical records of newly admitted stroke patients, and interview them to find out if they took the pills.
One cold, rainy evening last October, I was in the hospital desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. The records showed that there was a 43-ycar-old stroke patient, whom I will call Ms. A. Holding a patient questionnaire, I walked towards her room. MS A was lying on bed 4B, clearly still weak. There were no nurses, relatives or friends with her. I sat down on a chair next to her, and asked how she was doing. She softly replied that she was getting better. When I told her that I wanted to gather some information from her, she agreed.
After I finished, I prepared to leave so that I could go through more medical records. Before I could stand up, Ms. A spoke up in her weak voice, haven't seen you here before, doc. Are you new?” “Not really. I don't come here every day,\" I replied. She started making conversation, asking why I was working so late in the evening. I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
Soon Ms. A started talking about herself. She told me that she had three children in primary school, who were staying with a neighbor. \"My husband died a year ago and I'm the sole breadwinner of my family,\" said she. 注意:
