高考英语开放性作文的典范 ‎——1999—2013年上海高考英语作文及范例 ‎1999年上海高考作文及范例 一些学生认为学英语很重要；一些学生则认为不必学英语；我认为……（观点、理由）‎ Some students think it is very important to master English. They believe “A foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of life”. Others consider English useless. They feel learning English is nothing but a burden to them.‎ In my opinion, English is one of the most important subjects we learn at school. Of all subjects I like English best.‎ There are several reasons why English is my favorite subject. First, English is one of the most widely used languages of the world. Nearly all information on the Internet and over half of the world’s technical materials are in English, thus a good command of English will greatly benefit me in my work. Secondly，it is believed that good English also leads to greater chances and opportunities. In the competition for a well-paid job, the one who can speak English has an advantage over those who cannot.‎ For all these reasons we should not only learn English but master it in the shortest time possible.

But perhaps the most unforgettable thing which is really worth mentioning is the lesson given by my Chinese teacher just after she had an accident.‎ ‎ One morning just before our Chinese lesson, we were told our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had had an accident. One of her legs was badly injured and she couldn’t come to teach us. While we were planning to visit her after school, we also thought that maybe we would be free to do whatever we wanted during our Chinese lesson, and hoped our homework load would be reduced. But to our surprise, shortly after the bell, Miss Liu, with the help of a stick, came to the door of our classroom. With great respect w all stood up and greeted her.‎ ‎ She sat on a chair and began her lesson. She spoke slowly but forcefully. She prepared her lecture quite well and demanded that we do the same. Towards the end of the lesson, we got lots of homework from her.‎ A good teacher is many things to many people. Everyone has definite ideas about what a good teacher is. In my opinion the teachers who demanded the most from the students are perhaps liked best.

Like everything else, private cars have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the favorable aspects can be listed as follows.‎ ‎ First, private cars can bring convenience and mobility to owners. A car allows a person to move comfortably and safely as well as quickly and freely. Because my family owns a car, we are able to make extensive journeys every year. Therefore, I believe the tourist industry in China will develop more quickly with the increase in the number of private cars. Secondly, if more people buy cars, the automobiles industry will develop dramatically. What’s more, the growth of ‎ the automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important and related industries such as iron and steel production, energy and technological application.‎ ‎ Every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, too many cars will give rise to a series of problems, such as serious environmental pollution and more traffic accidents. In addition, the driver may have drive around and around looking for available parking spaces. ‎ ‎ Through above analysis, we can see that private cars should be restricted rather than encouraged.

Both the parents and grandparents usually over indulge the child.‎ ‎ We can see in the picture, When a child is learning to ride a bicycle, the parent and the grandparent are sweating from running alongside the bike and are trying their best to protect the child for fear that they should fall and hurt themselves.‎ ‎ We all know the greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. So I think, for the parents, they should be aware of the negative effect too much pampering has on their child. Under the parents’ protection, the child knows only comfort and ease. If they don’t learn how to live independently, how can they cope with the adversities which they will meet in the future? ‎ ‎ For the children, they should let their parents know that they have confidence in themselves and are able to exist in the competitive community without the constant watchful eye of an eager parent.‎ ‎ The path to success is filled with various kinds of difficulties and obstacles. Only when we have learned to stand on our own two feet, can we survive in the 21st century.

So you felt very depressed. There are different views on people’s wear. The following are my ideas about it.‎ Firstly, you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on physical appearance. You must always remember the most important task for you today is to concentrate your attention on your studies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when you come out first in your examinations.‎ A famous saying goes, “Frugality is the mother of virtue.” So, secondly, you must understand that it is a fine virtue to learn live in frugality. Since your family is not able to provide you with enough money to buy clothes of the best brands, it is all the more necessary for you to try every means to lighten the financial burden of your family. You will find the virtue of frugality will benefit you a lot in your later life.‎ I hope you understand what I mean. I am sure you will take a positive attitude towards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.

But now I don’t know whether I should accept the task or not.     Though I have been in Class 4 for nearly two years, I have hardly done anything for it. I think it will be a good opportunity to devote my efforts to class if I take the job. On the other hand, I’m good at drawing. The job will also provide me with a good chance to show my talent.    However, I know that taking the job means having less time to relax and study. Perhaps it will take me several days to complete an excellent wall newspaper. Perhaps it will affect my studies as well. Perhaps…    No! No! No! I should believe my ability. I can get everything arranged well: relaxing, study, wall newspaper… It will be an hour for me to do something for my class. I want to be a person who is glad to challenge himself.     Now, I’ve decided I’ll accept the job. I’ll tell my decision to Miss Wang tomorrow.

I have regarded it as my motto for many years. From my point of view, there is no difference between one person and another. With some useful talent, you will make your contributions to this society.‎ ‎ When I was ten years old, there was an old man living at the corner of xx Road. He didn’t have the opportunity to study in school, but he learned how to make wood furniture. Every time people went to ask him to solve some problems of furniture, he was willing to help them.‎ ‎ To my surprise, in his spare time, he would make some toys with small piece s of wood. Some of them were sold to the toy store and others were given to us. The moment I see the lovely toys made by this old man, I would remember the happy childhood.‎ ‎ From this old man, we can see whatever kind of talent you have, you can find your own method to display your talent. The most important factor is your confidence. If you believe that there must be a use for my talent, you will succeed.

Two universities in China can make my dream become true. They are both very good, but I can only choose one.‎ From the Internet, I learned that there are more advantages offered by the northern university than the ones by the southern one. For example, the fee charged by the northern one is lower. And it will add 20 marks while the southern university will not. In contrast, the southern university’s good point is that it enrolls more students.‎ After comparing the above information, I think I will choose the northern university for the following reasons. Firstly, my parents may not be able to afford my study and living expenses. Secondly, an addition of twenty marks is certainly an irresistible attraction. More importantly, four years of independent life in the north will obviously help develop my personality required as an astronaut.‎ ‎2007年上海高考作文及范例 以“礼物”为主题写一篇作文。该文章必须包括以下内容：‎ 1、 你送礼物的对象及所送的礼物；‎ 2、 该礼物对他（她）可能产生的影响或带来的变化。‎ A Present for Father’s Day The Father’s Day will come soon. and I want to give my Dad a present. That is a VIP card of a health club. When I was a little boy, Dad worked hard as a teacher. During term, Mother and I sometimes accompanied Dad in his office till a late hour. From then on, I understood that Dad worked with great effort. There are still too many precious memories which I’ll cherish in my heart. And I want to give this present to express my thanks to him.‎ Time flies and I’m 18 now. As I grow up, Father is getting older. He is now still diving into piles of books. With the health club membership, I hope that he will make time to do more exercises. I think that he will relax in the health club and make more friends.‎ ‎2008年上海高考作文及范例 你班将组队参加学校组织的集体舞比赛（group dancing cooipetition)，班长希望大家积极参加。对此谈谈你的看法。‎ 你的文章必须包括以下内容：‎ ‎·你是否会参加比赛 ‎·你做出该决定的具体理由 Version 1:‎ A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.‎ Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.‎ For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.‎ Version 2:‎ Today the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in the group dancing competition which will be held in a couple of days in our school. But after some careful consideration, I have decided not to participate.‎ There are a number of reasons for my decision. First and foremost, as the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, study is the top priority for me. Participating in the group dancing competition has to give way because it might take me too much time. What’s more, without any experience of dancing, I don’t think I can be a good dancing partner. I am afraid my poor dancing skills will probably spoil the performance of the whole class. In this case, it’s better for me to be a spectator cheering for my classmates. ‎ For these reasons, it seems more appropriate for me to watch the competition than to dance myself.‎ ‎2009年：‎ Directions: Write an English composition in 120 - 150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.‎ 某海外学校举办英语夏令营，开设了如下课程：园艺（gardening）、烹饪（cooking）、防身术（self-defence）、护理（nursing）。假如你是王跃华（不可以用自己的真实姓名），写一封申请信，报名参加其中一门课程的学习。信地内容必须包括：‎ l 你感兴趣的课程 l 你期望从这门课程中学到什么 l 为什么想学这些内容 It is said that a summer camp is to be held by your school and a few courses are available to choose from. I am interested in gardening, in that I believe it features my character and personal benefits.‎ During the learning period. I expect to gain some unexpected knowledge. A radical technique I’d like to obtain is to know how to tell difference species of plants and flowers apart. This helps me to have a clearer outlook of those in my garden. Furthermore, the proper cutting time and frequency to water are some other skills I want to learn. A little knowledge concerning choosing suitable soil or reasonable positions will also be a good choice. ‎ The main reason why I choose gardening is that I want to help my parents with their work in the domestic garden. In addition, I find that we students generally lack the knowledge of gardening, missing a chance to have a word with nature, so that knowing the surroundings is imperative. Last but not least, by attending the courses, I will have a meaningful summer vacation, and drowning myself between plants will by all means add a brilliant touch to my life.‎ ‎2010年：‎ Directions: Write an English composition in 120 – 150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.‎ 下图是小学新生的课堂一角，对照你当时的上课情况，作出比较并谈谈你的感受。你的作文必须包括：‎ ‎●描述图片里学生上课的场景 ‎●比较你同时期的上课情况 ‎●简单谈谈你的感受 ‎2010年：‎ In this picture, the pupils are all beaming. They are scrambling to answer a question as if they have full confidence in themselves. The excitement and the eagerness to participate gush out of the picture.‎ This is reminiscent of my own classes at primary school. At that time, we each wore the same innocent smile, fought with a jungle of other hands, and single-mindedly believed our answer would impress the teachers most. I enjoyed these classes for they sparked my interest in many subjects and taught me that competition could be fun.‎ Such fond memories they are! Unfortunately, as we grow older, we are increasingly reticent in class. There are many possible reasons for this change. It may be puberty that is to blame because we dread losing face. It may be that our body and mind are straitjacketed by the education system. It may simply be humans’ desire to conform to their peers—“Since nobody is putting their hand up, why should I?”‎ Whatever the reason, our carefree and innocent years at primary school is a reminder that we are always children at heart. Behind that cool facade, we can still be enthusiastic and committed to what we love doing.‎ ‎2011年：‎ ‎2011上海高考英语题目：‎ ‎　　若你是明启中学李明，想申请一个扶贫项目，帮助贫困地区的儿童。根据以下启示写一封申请信。‎ ‎　　启示：‎ ‎　　国际儿童基金会将资助中学生开展扶贫项目，以帮助贫困地区的儿童。申请成功者将获得项目经费2000元。有意者请来信告知。‎ ‎　　信中请包括：‎ ‎　　1． 你个人基本情况 ‎　　2． 你对申请项目具体设想 ‎　　3． 项目经费使用情况 ‎　　--------------------------------------------------------------------------------‎ ‎　　Sample Answer one ‎　　Dear Sirs,‎ ‎　　Hello! I’m Li Ming, a student from Mingqi High School of Shanghai. As I’ve always been interested in charity, I’m writing to you in the hope that I could be given the 2,000-yuan fund to carry out my project to help children in poverty-stricken areas.‎ ‎　　My poverty-relief program is divided into three parts. In the initial stage, I’ll try to purchase textbooks for subjects such as English and Maths. Given that new books are usually expensive, I’ll be on the look-out for good-quality second-hand books. The second stage of my program is to recruit high school students who have a strong desire to help pupils in poor areas. Surely they should be armed with relative knowledge to be qualified teachers. Lastly, we will set out for primary schools, which are selected and contacted in advance, to carry out our program.‎ ‎　　As to how to allocate the money, I’d like to use 1,000 for textbooks, and the rest to pay for the travelling fee of volunteers.‎ ‎　　I am looking forward to your reply, thanks!‎ ‎　　Yours,‎ ‎　　Li Ming Dear Sirs,‎ ‎　　My name is Li Ming and I’m a student from Mingqi‎ ‎High School. As I have grown up in the city, lending a hand to my rural peer group has always been my dream. I’m writing to apply for the poverty-relief program launched by the International Children Fund that I have heard about recently.‎ ‎　　In fact, there are still a large number of school-age children who have no access to good education in the undeveloped regions of our country. So, I sincerely hope that I can do something to make a difference by making full use of your program. If I can get the supporting money, first, I will use some parts of it to buy the textbooks they need. Since the fund is limited, I will try to buy some second-hand reading materials for their free-time reading. Besides, I have to keep a small sum of money in order to pay the postal charges.‎ ‎　　Last but not least, I will feel honored if I can get the fund to start the poverty-relief program in our country and I will try my best to use the fund. I’m looking forward to your reply!‎ Yours, ‎ Li Ming ‎2012年：‎ Directions: Write an English composition in 120 - 150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.‎ 上周一，你在一所小学观摩了小女孩Amy所在班级的两堂绘画课（如图所示），回家后你用英语写了一篇日记，内容包括：‎ ‎● 对两堂绘画课的具体描述；‎ ‎● 你从中获得的启发。‎ Date: June 8, 2012‎ Last week, I sat in on two painting classes at a primary school. In one class a student dipped her feet in ink and made a painting out of footprints. By contrast, the same student used a brush to make a breath-taking landscape painting—so vivid that one could almost smell the refreshing rivers and hear the chirping birds.‎ Though standing in stark contrast, the two paintings both intrigued me. In fact, they reminded me of what Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” It’s this maxim on success that lends insight into the two paintings. The first painting represents that we should remain grounded and be cautious of being carried away with temporary success. A kite stays afloat because it’s attached to a reel; otherwise it will instantly lose its balance before eventually crashing into the ground. So it is with us.‎ However, success requires more than being simply down-to-earth, with a lofty ideal being another crucial factor. So grand was the scenery portrayed in the second painting that it embodied the reach of our dreams. Instead of ignoring the gleam of light, the spark of wisdom that flashes across our mind and worshipping the luster of the sky of geniuses, we’d be better off trusting that the gleam and the spark will one day shine as brightly as a search light if we have faith in ourselves.‎ The paintings taught me to dream big and act small. And I believe, by doing so, the warm light of success will cascade into my life.‎ ‎2013年：‎ Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. ‎ ‎ ‎ 上海博物馆拟举办一次名画展，现就展出场所（博物馆还是社区图书馆）征集公众意见，假设你是王敏，给上海博物馆写一封信表达你的想法。你的信必须满足以下要求：‎ ‎1. 简述你写信的目的及你对场所的选择； ‎ ‎2. 说明你的理由（从便利性，专业性等方面对这两个场所进行对比）。‎ 范文一：‎ Dear Sir or Madam:‎ I am writing to express my opinion on where to hold the coming art exhibition. I believe that Shanghai‎ ‎Museum is the ideal venue for this event.‎ To hold the exhibition in a community library may provide easy access for the community’s residents, and therefore a wider range of people might have an opportunity to appreciate art in close proximity. However, the drawbacks of such a location outweigh its benefits. Though convenient for the residents living in or near the community, it may not be easily accessible to all visitors. Also, to have visitors constantly going in and out would disrupt the natural rhythm of community life. Moreover, once associated with a community, the exhibition would very likely lose its prestige and in turn deserve only low ticket prices, thus possibly confining it to a nonprofit event.‎ In contrast, Shanghai‎ ‎Museum is located in the city center, which makes transportation very convenient. Second, the museum is much better equipped than the average community library to preserve artworks, because they tend to be sensitive to temperature and humidity, and are thus subject to damage. Third, there’s nothing wrong with museums’ making reasonable profits, and visitors are usually willing to shell out a little more money when the exhibition is held in a museum. That said, even reasonably priced admission fees would keep out some visitors, but measures can be taken to mitigate this problem, such as offering discounts to young children and older people. Most important, just as premium coffee is best drunk in an elegant café, so are exquisite paintings best displayed in a proper museum. This is because an aesthetic experience is in fact an organic whole, including the person, the thing, and the context. The context—in this case the museum—is indispensable to our artistic appreciation.‎ Therefore, I’ve come to the conclusion that while an exhibition in a community library has its place, an exhibition featuring renowned masterpieces is worthy of a more decent venue like Shanghai‎ ‎Museum.‎ Many thanks.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Wang Min 范文二：‎ Dear Sir/ Madam,‎ ‎　　I’ve just learned that Shanghai‎ ‎Museum is to hold a famous painting exhibition and you’re collecting public ‎ suggestions about which location to hold it. I’m writing this letter to share with you my opinions. As far as I’m concerned, it is more reasonable to hold the painting exhibition in Shanghai‎ ‎Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows.‎ On the one hand, it is more convenient for people to reach Shanghai‎ ‎Museum, located in the center of the city. Visitors can go there by subway and bus and so on. What’s more, Shanghai‎ ‎Museum is much more extensive than community libraries, providing visitors with a more comfortable environment to appreciate the famous paintings.‎ ‎　　On the other hand, Shanghai‎ ‎Museum, a well-known and distinguished museum at home and abroad, is more professional in holding painting exhibitions. What’s of great significance is that not only does it provide advanced facilities and high-tech monitors but also offers professional security guards to protect those famous paintings from being damaged or stolen in the process of exhibition. 　　Consequently, I strongly propose that the painting exhibition is to be held in the Shanghai‎ ‎Museum.‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Wang Min
