Computers play an important role in our life. They can do most of things people can do. They can give you information on buying and selling things. Provide you with suggestion of how to deal with certain illness and how to solve the problems you are faced with. There is no doubt that people can live much easier with the help of the computers.
However， many scientists don"t think that computers will replace us completely. No matter how clever they may become， computers are no more that an extension for human brain.
（第三节）情景式作文
情景式作文也是一种控制作文出题方式，它一般不给标题，但规定了具体的情景，考生须从情景信息中找到所写文章的中心思想，在此基础上确定文章的标题和段落结构。在写作过程中，考生应按照情景中规定的范围和条件结合自己的经验和知识来体会、想象和发展段落，但不能脱离情景自由发挥。要注意文章的发展必须合乎逻辑情理，段落之间的衔接要连贯和自然。
规定情景题型写作要点：
1.规定情景写作要求考生在题目规定的情景内展开构思和组织内容
2.仔细审题
考生一定要弄清楚题目所提供的情景，是说明还是论证，是叙事还是写景。
3.确定段落与主题句
主题句为一个完整的句子，用以概括、叙述和说明该段的主题。一般放在段首。使用主题句，文章结构会变得有条理，同时也使考生对自己所要表达的内容有更具体的把握。
4.逐步展开段落
确定主题句，考生便可以围绕主题句，展开段落，完成全文的写作。段落的展开应该建立在段落情景基础之上，每段的重点都应集中于描述情景规定内容。
5.考生所用的每一个词句都应紧扣情景，突出重点，前后连贯，表达清楚，符合逻辑
6.明确题型种类
情景写作可根据内容写成不同文体，如记叙文、论说文、书信报告等，故考生应该注意灵活运用相应文体的写作方法与技巧。
7.认真检查与修改
考生应重点检查是否完全准确地包含了情景所要求的各项内容，是否有与情景相悖或不相关的内容。如果一旦发现有出入，要及时修改。
范文1
Situation： Students have different ways to spend their summer vacations， and you decide to take your summer vacation with your family in the countryside. Your feeling is quite different with the life in the city， so you think about it deeply.
How I Spend My Summer Vacation
Our summer vacation begins on July 15th and lasts nearly two months. Considering that my brain needs rest after a period of hard work， I， together with my family， went to our countryside， a very small farmhouse handed down from our forefathers， to spend the summer. Obviously， life in the country is very difierent from that in the city.
Early in the morning I took a stroll along the field side. The air was fresh and pure. With a dog following， sometimes I ran a race in the meadows covered with tall grass. Sometimes I climbed up the hill to see the sun slowly yet steadily emerge out of the eastern horizon. The birds also seemed to have awakened from their dreams， twittering restlessly among the bushes. In order to appreciate the quietness of the country， I gave myself entirely to among the bushes. In order to appreciate the quietness of the country， I gave myself entirely to nature， with a light heart and a happy mind.
Sometimes in the afternoon I， in company with my cousins， took a rod and went to the river to fish. It made the household happy when they saw me returning with a basketful of large flesh fish. When night came， I would sit at the door and tell the most marvelous and interesting stories to my cousins， who listened to the tale of wonder with open eyes and mouth.
I wish I could enjoy such calm， pure and beautiful rural life forever.
范文2
Directions： It is generally acknowledged that families are now not as close as they used to be. Give possible reasons and your recommendations.
There is much discussion nowadays as to whether or not the relationship between family members is close or not. Lots of factors can be identified. Hereby I would like to present my point of view.
Great changes have taken place in family life with the development of society. One of them is that the traditional family is becoming smaller and smaller. Many children have to leave their parents at an early age to study or work elsewhere. As time passes， they become emotionally estranged from their parents.
In addition， the availability of various kinds of entertainment also diverts people from enjoying chats with the family members. Their free time is mostly occupied by seeing films， surfing the internet or playing computer games. Thus they have no interest in communicating with the other members of their families.
In view of such alienation within families， I believe that urgent steps must be taken. Regular contact on the phone can bring care to those who live away from each other. Family reunions on holidays or other important occasions can make a difference as well. In a word， a close family relationship can surely be maintained as long as we realize the significant role it plays in our lives and attach importance to it.
（第四节）图表式作文
图表在显示统计数字、数据时具有简洁而清晰的特点，越来越被要求高效率的社会所接受，并在自然科学、社会科学及日常生活中得到广泛采用。因此，掌握图表作文的写作方法，不仅仅是考查学生英语写作水平的一种有效手段，而且也有助于培养他们从非文字材料中获取信息的能力，从而为今后的学习、科研、工作以及对外交流服务。
一、图表作文的类型
图表作文可分为两大类：表作文和图作文。
1.表作文
表格(table)可以使大量数据系统化，便于阅读、比较。表格常由标题(title)、表头(box-head)(表格的第一行)、侧目(stub)(表格左边的第一列)和主体(body)部分(表格的其余部分)等部分组成。如下表：
Student Enrollment by Level in China (Title)
(Stub)19781983Primary schools146.24m135.78m (Boxhead)Regular secondary schools65.48m43.98m(Body)Specialized secondary schools0.89m1.14mInstitutions of higher learning0.86m1.12m用表格表达的信息具体准确，而且表格中的各项均按一定规律排列。阅读表格时，要注意找出表格中各个项目的相互关系、表格中各个项目的变化规律。例如，上面的表格中的数字说明，与1978年相比，1983年大学入学的人数在增加，而小学的入学人数在减少。搞清楚这些变化规律也就读懂了表格的内容。
2.图作文
图作文又可分为三种：圆形图作文、曲线图作文和条状图作文。
（1)圆形图作文。
圆形图(pie chart)也称为饼状图或圆面分割图。圆形图因为比较形象和直观，各部分空间大小差别容易分辨，所以常用来表示总量和各分量之间的百分比关系。整个圆表示总量，楔形块表示分量。有时圆形图还有数值表，两者结合可把各分量表示得更准确、清楚。例如：
Average weekly expenditure of a family in Great BritainThis is a pie chart of the average weekly expenditure of a family in Great Britain. As can be seen from the chart， the main expenditure of an average British family is spent on food， which accounts for 25％of its total expenditure. The next two significant expending items are transport and housing， which are 15％and 12％respectively. If we take into account clothing and footwear， which makes up 10％，the four essentials of life， that is， food， transport， housing， and clothing and footwear， amount to 62％of the total expenditure.
（2)曲线图作文。
曲线图(line graph)也称为线性图或坐标图。曲线图最适合表示两个变量之间关系的发展过程和趋势。一般来说，曲线所呈现的形状比某一点所代表的变量的值更有意义。曲线图有横轴和纵轴。一般先看横轴所代表的数量或时间等，然后再看纵轴所显示的意义。同时必须找出线条所反映的最高或最低的变化。例如：
Months in 1990这个曲线图的横轴代表1990年的不同的月份，纵轴代表交通事故的数量。从交通事故曲线图上可知，前8个月的交通事故的数量有升有降。曲线图在8月份升到了最高点(39)，此后一直呈下降的趋势，12月份降到了最低点(16)。可见，1990年的交通事故的数量总体上呈下降的趋势。
（3)条形图作文。
