Space Pens:$34.95
Imagine a pen that works no matter what the conditions, from wet paper to writing upside down. Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Not when you’ve got a Space Pen!
These amazing pens have a great history of being approved for use in space, since they effortlessly write in the gravity free vacuum of space, and at any angle. They can also write in extreme heat and cold temperatures(from –50℉ to 250℉), making it the pen of choice for the Everest North Face Ski Expedition(珠穆朗玛北峰滑雪探险) in 1997. Now that you know that Space Pens are the clear choice for all your writing needs on your next adventure!
决定一件商品是否会被购买的要素是什么?1.用途;2.特点;3.性能;当然还有其价格。
本文依次介绍了以上诸要素,但最主要的还是其独特的性能:不惧严寒酷暑、经得太空考验--堪为探险时的明智选择(the clear choice)!
明白广告该怎么写了吧!人无我有,人有我精,人精我特!成就一番事业是否也该如此?!
常用表达法(Useful Expressions)
严格地讲,说明与广告不应该属于同一个范畴,但它们在许多地方又具有密不可分的联系,特别是在描述该物体及阐述其特性时更是如此。所以本文将其合并在一节内容中来学习。
1. 关于物件的描述方法,可参看“描述物体(Describing Things)”一节;
2. 说明的语言应该尽量科学准确,不含糊其词;
3. 广告的语言应该趣味性强,通俗易懂。易于朗读,便于记忆。

事件描写(Describing Something That Happened)美文欣赏
It happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip
was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.
When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better.
Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine’
The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watched the other people in the restaurant.
There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.
Out of curiosity(好奇心), Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took quite a different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed(捏紧)it carefully in order to save every drop of the beer, and then drank it up. 这篇228字的短文讲述了一个带有滑稽色彩的小故事,在轻松的一笑之后,我们还应该看到它具有典型的“事件描写”特征:
Who--Mr. Phillip and the other three;
When---a beautiful summer afternoon; Where---a restaurant in Paris;
What---something funny;
How---Mr. Phillip watched the three drinking beer.
其次,我们应该注意短文中用了基本上不重复的34个动词和8个非谓语动词,使得整个事件动静结合,可读性强。
同时,作者在描述三人对同一事件的处理上也各有不同,颇有民族特色。
另外,短文的结尾干净利落,出乎意料,令人忍俊不禁的同时又很想知道:第三人是哪国人?

May 3rd suny
It’s a lovely day today! The students of our school visited the Red Star farm.
In the morning, we get together at the gate of the No.1 Middle School, then full of happy, we were singing and laughing on our way to the farm.
We walked and arrived at the farm nearly at noon, there we received a warm welcome. After that, the farmers guided us to see many kinds of vegetables, telling us a lot of knowledge about those plants, asking us to taste some fresh fruites.In the middle of the day, we had a picnic on the farm, talking with each other. Then we held a small party, singing and dancing with the beautiful music.
Time also flies quickly, we had to say goodbye to the farmers. Twilight was falling as we returned to our school.
Night is coming, I am still excited about the visit today, washing to have a second chance to visit the farm again.
日记格式;suny应为Sunny
farm也应大写为Farm
记述过去,应为got
on our way 改为all the way更好
telling 与asking用得好
with 应为to
also多余
结尾较好。但有两处不妥:1.washing似为wishing之误 ;2.a second chance与 again意义重复。

May 3 Sunday Fine
Today we visited a farm. Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together. The farm workers gave us a warm welcome. Then the head of the farm showed us around. How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well! At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sun-shine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes or stories. Two of us even played a game of chess. The time passed quickly. Before we knew it, we had to say goodbye to the workers.

人物介绍(Introducing Somebody)
美文欣赏
Although Princeton, New Jersey, has a world-famous university, it is still a small quiet town. It is not a place where anyone would expect to see strange characters on the street. That is why one woman will never forget the day in 1940 when, as a child, she suddenly saw a funny-looking man coming towards her. “I remember,” she tells her children now, “how wild his white hair looked---as if it had been electrified.
