阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
It seemed no one cared about Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic(酗酒) parents. In spite of his reading skills, he had been failing exams since first grade. Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.
Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.
Until one day, Miss White talked to him, “Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Suddenly, Steve understood! Someone cared about him!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!
After high-school Steve joined the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he graduated from a college. Later he became a professor in a nearby college
You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.

答案
Steve wasn’t interested in studying because he believed no one cared about him until he met Miss White. It was her care instead of her criticism and punishment that changed Steve’s whole life.
This reminded me of my mathematics teacher Mr. Zhang, one that I particularly liked and respected in my junior school years.
I was doing poorly in mathematics at that time. As a result, I was always feeling down. However, after each test, Mr. Zhang would always announce in class that I had made some progress. Of course, every time I would feel a little embarrassed, and pleased too. And I would make up my mind to work harder in future in order not to disappoint my teacher. So, after one year, I really made amazing progress in that subject. It was Mr. Zhang’s praise that helped me make it. His encouragement changed my life at school and will influence me all my life. I’ve come to realize that I can do anything well as long as I don’t lose heart.
解析
略考点
据考高分专家说,试题“第二节读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分).....”主要考查你对 [小作文 ]考点的理解。小作文
小作文的概念:
作文多指便条、请假条等,在写作的时候要注意文章的格式(称呼、正文、签名、日期)。
小作文考题的几个特点:
1、重格式,不轻内容:
应用文的大作文的一个很大区别就是重格式,规律性强。格式和套路不对,一般会给阅卷老师留下很不好的印象。例如:信件一般不需要题目,通知和告示却需要,如2010年的题目Volunteers wanted。不只题目,还有客套话署名等。例如:公务信函中的称呼,一般而言,如果是不认识的人,称呼为敬词+尊称。例如,Dear Sir or Madam或 To whom it may concern;如果是写给关系正式的某团体中的人,称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如,Dear Mr. xx或 Dear Ms. xx;对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名(Dear)Peter等。这都是有规律可循的。
2、轻思想,重交际:
这里所谓的轻思想,主要是指因为100字的应用文,除去那些客套话,其实一般主体部分也就2-3个句子就可以解决。这么短的篇幅,是不可能求思想性有多强。这点和大作文不一样,大作文中,如果你没有一定的思想深度,文章结构会很松散,让人感觉是句子的堆砌。而那种连贯性和衔接手法的应用也不会太准确。而小作文,我们要做到的只是注意用词语体以及语域的适当性,要点覆盖的全面性。
3、字数少,易得分:
应用文的篇幅很短,很容易得分。试想,想在阅读理解中10分,你需要在理解一篇500-600字的文章的基础上答对5道选择题。从这个角度而言,小作文的确是容易拿分的,应该成为考生提分的板块。
4、重套路,难发挥:
应用文的这一个特点,仍然是和它的套路性、格式化有关。因此我们更需要用词的准确性。需要我们对语言的语体特点(genre features)进行区分。以免让词汇的语体影响到准确性。写给机构的信函,应该避免使用太口语化的语言。例如06年是写给一个机构的申请信,而08年是写给友人的私人信件,那么两年的应用文写作中,就要求使用不同的语言。从称呼到正文部分,08年的文章用词都可以更口语化和随意一些。正因为这种套路的稳定性,对于同等基础的考生来讲,这部分很难达到技压群雄的效果,很难拉开和别人的距离。也就是说,对于所有考生来说,得10分不容易,得2分甚至4分也很不容易。
