Part ⅣWriting (15 points)
一、審題
本文題目是我們較為常見的關於交友的議論文。雖然關於友誼的文章很多，但要結構清晰仍需要解析友誼的真正內涵，指出友誼就是彼此幫助，互相促進學習。
二、謀篇
本文應按提綱所示分為三段：第一段為朋友的重要性。第二段解釋友誼的含義。第三段說明自己的擇友觀。本文雖條理比較明了，但應注意呼應。
三、寫作誤區
1.跑題：本文雖與友誼有關，但不是單純讚揚友誼的。有的考生忽略了「交友」，而把筆墨浪費在讚揚友誼的珍貴上，因此被扣分也在情理之中。
2.謀篇：本文應以說明議論為主，如果過多地舉例描寫，又無適當回扣主題，就會出現結構上的偏差，或者字數過多。
四、範文

On Making Friends
As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend and the fact has been self-evident. Without the help of honest friends, we can hardly get over the difficulties and hardships we come across. Moreover, having no friends also means that there is nobody in the world with whom we can share our joy and sorrow. Thus loneliness is the only ting left for us. So making friends is a very indispensable part in our life.
But not all who are friendly to each other and enjoy each other’s company, in the social gatherings can be called true friends. Based on mutual understanding instead of on mutual benefit, true friendship must be sincere and unconditional. It consists in sincerity, mutual trust, and self-sacrifice, both in times of happiness and at moments of crisis. A true friend does not just tell us what we want to hear but will do what he thinks is best for us in the long run. False friendship, however, will flatter us when we are crowned with success while desert us when we are in deep waters. Therefore, true friendship is to make people help each other and learn from each other.
My principle in making friendsis to make as many good friends as possible. So when I make a friend, I first of all make sure whether he is honest or wicked. As long as he is honest and sincere, I know that I find another a company in the way of improving.
例文分析
1．提綱
（1）論證並得出結論：朋友為生活中不可缺少的一別分；
（2）朋友的真正含義：真誠，互助互勉；
（3）交友之道：真心，真誠。
2．論點與謀篇
本文以提綱為依據，層次清晰。首段採用先解釋首句，而後自然引出論題——交友的方式，內容自然流暢。第二段的優點在於以總—分—總的方法寫作，並採用正反論證，條理清晰。第三段直接點明交友之道。
3．連貫性
本文連詞使用廣泛，比如：第二段末Therefore這一連詞的應用，起到收尾的作用，自然引出該段的結論，使行文連貫。倒數第二句中while的使用，使句子前後既形成了鮮明的對比，又過渡自然。又如第三段的so使句子間因果關係更為明了，as long as順接上文，並再次強調中心。
4．句式及用詞
句式變化多樣是本文另一特點，在文中已標出。
評分標準2
12~10分：內容切題，包括提綱的全部要點；表達比較清楚，文字基本連貫；句式有一定變化，句子結構和用詞無重大錯誤。

On Making Friends
As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend. We need friends to share our happiness and sad. We go to friends for help when we are in trouble. We consult with friends if there are problems we cannot handle alone. In a sense, friends are often more important to us than relatives.
As the proverb goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. True friend means when you are in good condition, they are happy for you, and hope you could be better. When you are in trouble, they help you without complain. Also, they should treat you sincerely and not cheat you.
When I choose friends, I do not care what work they do or where they are from, but I care those little things which shows one’s characters. I would make sure that we really care for each other. Sometimes we cannot see each other often. But I know my friends will always be there, ready to help if I need them. And I know we are true friends indeed.
例文分析
1．論點與謀篇
題目的中心得到貫穿。結尾ready to help if I need them與we are true friends indeed既呼應全文，又暗指諺語a friend in need is a friend indeed，語意準確。
2．連貫性與用詞
第二段的人稱與其他段不一致，如能相同，語意更連貫。使用了一定的連詞。短文中用詞有一些錯誤，如：典型錯誤：動詞complain的名詞形式為complaint。
