Answer

  Great changes have taken place in our studies since our school began to carry on exploring learning strategies. In the past, teachers kept on explaining the language points in class. We students just listened and took some notes. So we didn’t have enough time to think about problems by ourselves. We have to do much homework after class. But now teachers show the problems to us first, then we discuss them for a while in pairs or groups. We try to find out the ways of solving problems, through which we’ve learnt how to study with others. After class , we can have different activities. For example, we can read books we like, go to library or surf the Internet for useful information and so on.

In a word, now we are the owners of our study and we are happy.

【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇图表类短文，所给材料比较详细，我们要做的就是把这些内容用正确的英语表达出来。动笔前要认真阅读材料，不可遗漏要点，可有适当发挥。根据材料可知，本篇短文要用把开展研究性学习前后的情况做一个对比，所以文中应更多的使用一般过去时和一般现在时，第一人称复数。注意不同时态中动词的形式。写作中适当使用连词、从句等，使上下文意连贯，表达富有条理，更有逻辑性。

【亮点说明】这篇短文使用了大量句式和短语，例如，have taken place、enough time to think about problems、the ways of solving problems、In a word等。还有一些从句的使用，也为文章增色不少，例如，since our school began to carry on exploring learning strategies、through which we’ve learnt how to study with others 、read books we like等。平时的学习中要注意积累和总结，牢记一些固定句式及短语，或背诵一些较好的句子，写作时可适当引用，使文章表达流畅，富有条理。
