Answer

Money or presents

During the spring festival, adults often give children lucky money. Do you think it’s a good idea? Which is better, to give money or to give presents? We have a warm discussion about it.

Some students think it is better to give presents. They think small presents can give a surprise to the children. Some presents have deep meaning and can show love and care to them. But other students don’t think so. They think it is better to give money because it is convenient to do so. If we buy a present, we will spend too much attention and it is also a waste of time.

In my opinion, I think it is better to give money. In this way, children can buy what they like with the money. And they can also save the money and develop a habit of thrift.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文要求我们把一次讨论的情况报告出来，这个讨论是关于春节期间，大人们是给孩子们钱更好，还是送礼物更好。不同的学生有不同的观点，我们需要把这两个不同的观点表达出来，最后再发表自己的看法。所以这篇短文应该主要分成三个部分，一是同意送礼物的同学们的观点及原因；二是同意直接给钱的学生们的观点和他们的理由；最后是自己的看法和理由，这一部分需要自己的发挥。写作时要注意文章的结构和层次。同时，注意表达的流畅和意思的连贯，多使用好的句型和短语。

【亮点说明】这是一篇很优秀的范文。这篇短文的层次非常清楚，观点非常鲜明，意思也很连贯。文章按照题目的要求分成了三个部分，首先是同意送礼物的学生们的观点和理由，这里使用的句型有give sb. a surprise、show love and care to sb.等；其次是同意给钱的学生们的观点，it is convenient to do so. If we buy a present, we will spend too much attention and it is also a waste of time，最后是作者自己的看法，并给出了两个理由，children can buy what they like with the money以及develop a habit of thrift。
