今年北京市高考语文的微作文是:
“乱涂乱贴、违禁吸烟、赛场京骂等不文明的现象,与首都形象极不相称。请针对社会上的某一种不文明现象,拟一条劝说短信。要求态度友善,语言幽默。文体不限。”
这个话题和我之前预测的礼节的问题不谋而合,所以我觉得今年四六级考察礼节的可能性非常大!
在我家的书柜里放着一本1996年由北京大学出版社出版的一本《英文模范作文新词典》这本书影响了好几代人,里面收录的范文就有关于礼节的,行文风格简洁明快特别适合这样的话题。Peopleallovertheworldsetgreatregardongoodmanners.Tocertaindegree,goodmannersindicateaperson’sgoodeducationandbreeding.Inschools,itispartofstudents’moraltrainingtodevelopgoodmanners.Apersonwithgoodmannersalwayswinspraise.Onthecontrary,peoplewillfrownonhimifhebehavesroughlyandimpolitely.
