Answer

Always Be Grateful

As is known to all, it is one of the Chinese traditional virtues to be grateful to whoever has been kind and helpful to us.

In my opinion, our gratitude should first go to our parents because they not only provide us with food and clothing but also care for us in many ways. They are always willing to do whatever they can to ensure our happiness. Second, we should thank the teachers who are making every effort to give us wisdom and knowledge and help us become useful persons.

As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Therefore, we should devote ourselves to studying so that we can live up to their expectations. It’s also important to express our gratitude whenever we get help from them.

In short, we should strengthen our sense of gratitude and take actions to repay their love and kindness.

【解析】这是一篇提纲类作文。文章内容要点已经给出。同学们在写这篇文章时，要注意以下几点：

通篇以一般现在时态为主。

2. 要点要齐全。但是不要对要点进行简单的罗列。可以使用适当的连接词，使上下文行文流畅，衔接自然流程。

3.. 注意语气。既然该文是感恩主题比赛发言稿，所以要注意语气应该比较恳切。该文的写作难点在第二条内容上： 感恩理由: 如父母养育之恩、老师培养之恩……。一定要通过简单的例子作为支撑。否则会显得说服力不够，内容不够丰满。写这部分内容时，学生可以采取简单句和复合句结合的方法。

【范文亮点】

1. 范文采取了强调句型（They are always willing to do whatever they can to ensure our happiness. ）；引用谚语（As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. .）及（it is hard to do…）和（It seems that…）等句式。

2. 文章采用了ensure our happiness； guidance；make great progress；strengthen our sense of gratitude 等高级单词或短语。
