His book is put on display in Beijing International Book Fair’ 96. Professor Liang would like to have his book translated into English and submitted to Thompson Publishers. Professor Liang has asked Li Yan, whom he meets regularly in the English Corner, to help him to talk to Peter Allright, a Thompson representative. Prof. Liang(toMr. Allright):奥莱特先生,这是鄙人的拙作。 Li Yan: Mr. Allright, this a clumsy book written by your humble servant. Mr Allright: No, no, no, you're not my humble servant. We do not publish books in Chinese. Li Yan (to Professor Liang): 不,不,不,你不是我的仆人,我们不出中文书。 Professor Liang: 我要请李艳翻译成英文。 Li Yan (to Mr. Allright): Professor Liang will ask me to translate it into English. Mr. Allright: Mm that’s interesting. Case 2: Lovers Become Strangers Xiaoxin and Peter are newly-weds. Though they spent a lot of time with each other before getting married, they never really lived together. There are some minor problems that occur. One day Peter came home looking unhappy. “What happened?” Xiaoxin asked. “Nothing much, I’m just very tired,” Peter said. “I can tell that it’s more than that.” Peter gave her a quiet look, went into the bedroom and threw himself on the bed. Xiaoxin followed him in and said, “Don’t you want to talk about it?” “No, I don’t.” Peter yelled. Xiaoxin was in tears. Her husband seemed to have become a stranger to her.

要求:Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on how to handle the relationship between doctors and patients. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 解析文体:本次的作文是大家所熟悉的“议论文”。 审题:其实题目中,最重要的一句话是:how to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients, 所以大家要好好思考一下这一句话就好了;这句话体现出的主题是“医患关系”,体现的要求是需要一个“解决方法”,因为措辞用的是“how”,所以大家在写的时候,围绕“医患关系”,给出“解决方法”就不会偏题了。 结构: 议论文用三段论是最简单也最有效的。开头和结尾至少要用词准确,有吸引力,尤其是开头部分。因为开头是给改卷老师形成第一印象的重要位置,所以大家要保证开头的质量;结尾一段也是如此;而中间部分,有连接词展现段落的结构清晰,这篇文章在结构上就很清晰明了了。所以本文第一段,引入医患关系的主题,第二段给出自己的解决方法,并说明原因,第三段进一步给出对于集体和对于个人的不同建议,思路就很清楚了。
