All they have to do is  15  (press) a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest  16   (excite) football match. Some people,    17  maintain that this is precisely  18  the danger lies. The television viewer makes no choice and exercises no judgment.

They can use the knowledge of their classmates to help improve their own knowledge. Finally by discussing the topic they are able to both understand and remember it better.

【参考答案1】

The Best Way to Learn

    The article compares the benefits of studying alone to those of studying in groups. Studying alone allows students to remain focuses and avoid interruption, while group study creates a more enjoyable learning environment.

    Personally, I prefer to study alone. I find studying alone more challenging and exciting. Each time ! come up with an idea after a long time thinking, I feel a great sense of achievement. Studying alone also allows me to develop independent thinking which is a very important skill I need as I grow older and must solve the problems myself without the help of parents and teachers. Our teachers often encourage us to study in groups. I enjoy my friends' company, but in group study, I find we spend far less time studying and more time playing games and having fun. It is for these reasons that I believe the most effective way to learn new knowledge is by studying alone.

【参考答案2】

The Best Way to Learn

    The article compares the benefits of studying alone to those of studying in groups.  Studying alone allows students to remain focuses and avoid interruption, while group study creates a more enjoyable learning environment.

    Personally I like studying in groups.When studying in groups we can learn from each other, 'share our experiences in solving difficult problems and learn more in less time.

    In the past I seldom had the confidence to discuss study topics with my classmates. I also had little enthusiasm for studying as I found it to be very boring. But following my teachers' advice I joined a study group and to my surprise my performance in class improved greatly. Studying became more enjoyable and something I looked forward to doing as I was able to learn from as well as help others. So for me, studying in groups is by far the most effective way to learn.

【构思点拨】  这篇书面表达题的形式是文字说明+图画，内容由文字和图画双重提示，因此，既要注意文字部分的要求和内容要点，也要仔细看图。文字部分设定了明确的情景，要求和要点明确；图画部分有两幅图，一幅表示了住房的位置，一幅介绍了住房的情况。

1.体裁：这篇书面表达的体裁是书信，是回复朋友的信件。英语信件有其特定的表达方式和格式。

基本时态：介绍住房具体情况用一般现在时；表示收到来信可用现在完成时；表示自己的愿望用一般讲来时。第一人称叙述。

1. 住房的情况（一室带浴室、厨房）；2. 住房的面积、家具（25平方米，床、沙发、书桌、椅子）3. 住房位置（芳草街，离学校一站远）；4. 月租500元。

注意：有些考生只看图，忽视了文字要求中“并告知住房面积为25平方米，月租500元”的内容要点；有些考生看图不够仔细，图中的要点有遗漏，如带浴室、厨房，有床、沙发、书桌、椅子等家具。遗漏了一些要点，影响了分数。

写作用词汇和结构：

考虑如何用正确、恰当的词汇和句型来进行表达，例如：符合交际目的的、信的开头和结尾，位于芳草街，住房的面积，离学校不远等。如果时间较充裕，最好先在草稿纸上写；如果担心时间不够，应该在草稿纸上写下一些关键的词语和句型，如：a small flat of 25 square meters, in a building on Fangcao Street, not far from, be very convenient for等。

   Dear Bob,

   I’m so glad to learn that you’re coming in September after I have received your letter. I’ve found a flat in a building on Fangcao Street, which is not far from Jianxin Chinese School and only one stop. Bus No. 11 can take you straight to the school, so I think it will be very convenient for you. The flat is of 25 square meters, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. Some furniture is available in the bedroom, such as a bed, a sofa, a desk and a chair. The rent is 500 yuan per month.
