Question

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Have you heard an old saying “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence”? It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. “Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it: more and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring（忽视）Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. China has lots of cool things in its culture: calligraphy, Beijing Opera, quick meals on the streets, and even Jay Chou! And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.

It’s good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. It’s good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener.

Although some people become worried about that, I don’t think they should. Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries? Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food? Besides, it’s fun to learn about different cultures. Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun, but they also need to learn more about their own culture. Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!

【解析】

本篇属于概要性写作。概要写作，简而言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括，写出文章的中心大意，也可称之为摘要。这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力，同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。建议写作步骤如下：

1. 细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握文章主旨和结构，明确各段的大意。

2. 列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。并把这些要点用适当的连接词进行连接，使上下句之间具有连贯性。

3. 列出关键词汇。关键词对于整篇文章的理解与转化成自己的语言都很关键，如果不能准确领会其用意，语篇理解的效果就会大打折扣。概要写作的基础是理解语篇，而读懂语篇的基础是词汇，尤其是对关键词汇的掌握与运用。在此基础上，综合运用语法与句法结构，按照行文逻辑组织语言，形成概要。

其次，要注意以下一些要点：

1. 概要应包括原文中的主要事实，略去不必要的细节。

2. 安排好篇幅的比例，概要应同原文保持协调，即用较多的文字写重要内容，用较少的文字写次要内容。

3. 注意要点之间的衔接，要用适当的关联词语贯通全文，切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子，但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语，以免显得生硬。

4. 不排斥用原文的某些词句，但不要照搬原文的句子，如果不能完全用自己的话语表达，至少要对原文句子做一些同义词替换，若结构上也能有一些转换，则会更好。

5. 注意计算词数，看是否符合规定的词数要求。注意检查是否有拼写错误，标点符号是否规范，书写是否整洁，这些情况都是评分的考虑范围。

【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如such as，In a word，take pride in；还运用句型Many young Chinese prefer foreign items, considering them to be better.和In a word, Chinese kids just need to learn more and take pride in Chinese culture while enjoying other cultures.这两句话运用了现在分词作状语，Foreign cultures, which are not always good, can never replace your own culture.这句话运用了非限定性定语从句等。并注意了句子的衔接，运用了连词如Nevertheless，In a word，and，while等等。
