笔者按：
写这篇文章，源于一个老师对我们团队推敲作文的疑惑：你们的作文用了那么多高级词块，可是考试作文没有那么复杂，究竟这样做对不对？
这个问题可能是很多读者的困惑。确实如此，我们看很多高考真题范文和模拟题作文范文，感觉很简单，哪有我们写的这么高大上？有这个必要吗？为什么弄懂这个问题，我把本文分为两部分：
Part I: 细究江苏近三年高考真题作文范文的特点
Part II: 我们如何推敲作文用词的？（以近期校园欺凌为话题）
好消息：
美文直播课将进一步升级为：主题美文读写直播课（每晚半小时，将从年后推出，首创先读美文，然后根据美文话题写作，如此，既积累词块，又锻炼写作能力）
Part I: 细究江苏近三年高考真题作文范文的用词特点
我这里不分析作文的篇章结构，只从用词来看作文的特点。请读者注意加颜色的部分：
：
Possible version one:
On-line voting becomes increasingly popular, and many competitions get people involved in it. It is beneficial to some people, while it puts others into a dilemma over whether to vote or not.
In my opinion, on-line voting is an inseparable part of modern life and should be welcomed, since it is no more than a way to participate in public life. It makes no difference from ordinary voting events, in which candidates go around to seek supports. In addition, the Internet makes surveying and voting easy and convenient, regardless of time and space. Furthermore, voting on the Internet makes instant feedback possible.
To be honest, voters sometimes feel annoyed, not because they hate voting, but because they are divided between emotion and fairness. Things will turn for the better if we can work out some participation rules for people to obey. Therefore, I hold a positive attitude towards on- line voting.(150 words)
Possible version two:
Internet voting is quite popular nowadays. Many people are somewhat puzzled at the negative side of the voting, although some are quite happy with it, and active in doing it.
In my opinion, internet voting has begun to show its negative impacts on people and society. Firstly, people may feel forced when asked to do things that they don’t want to. Secondly, voting of this kind does not depend on the strong points of the competitors, but rather on how many social-networking resources they have. Thirdly, the voters or even the competitors in many cases are possibly taken advantage of by the organizers for commercial purposes.
In short, internet voting, to some extent, is unfair, if not immoral, and cannot be trusted. Therefore, rules should be worked out and strictly observed. Everyone in our society should help those in need, but it is more important to be sincere and earnest.(150 words)

The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack. It not only affects our everyday life, but may also threaten people’s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the large-scale construction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing number of cars these years. What’s worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules.
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is everybody’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track.

支持：
Today, more and more English words find their way into the Chinese language. Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words. Some people support it while others do not.
Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion. As the number of English learners is on the rise, it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. Besides, it is, on some occasions, more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its translation “xinxi jishu.” In our global village, we can see that it’s not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. In English, there are many words borrowed from Latin, French, or even Chinese. In fact, Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages, say, “ganbu” or “minzhu” from Japanese. 1
So, it’s safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily communication.
反对：
With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against.”
I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons. Firstly, this inclusion has actually polluted our mother tongue. Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones. And, rules don’t tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “wifi” and “Out” in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English. Just for one illustration, while college students take “Bye-bye” for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian.”
In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about distance between the Chinese people.
评价：
1.无词块，不成句。我们发现，几乎每个句子都有很地道的词块，词块然后结合句型使用，如非谓语动词、形式主语等。
2.词块特点：小而活。我们发现，每个词块都是非常常见的占绝大多少。还有一些词块如a hard nut to crack, facilitate daily communication, on the right track虽然平时很少用，但是确实日常对话中很普遍的。
这对我们的启发：
1.不要一味追求生僻词块。有些同学好用四六级中的词汇，却不考虑语境和风格的统一，虽然看起来很高大上，但是一眼就感觉有说不出理由的别扭，原因就一个：用词太生硬。我建议同学们把教材中的词块熟记是非常根本的。
2.高度重视常见动词和名词的鲜活用法。虽然nut大家都知道是核仁，但高考范文却用的a hard nut to crack表示难以解决的问题，真是生动无比！其实，这种用词特点在单选中也出现了很多次，譬如考到的recipe for当“方法，秘诀”讲。
3.学有余力的学生可以适当补充一些常见的超纲词块（判断标准：不是你查汉英词典得来的，而是你在阅读中得来的），但一定要注意：准确使用。譬如范文中的facilitate，这是四级词汇，如果你要用，就要注意它后面接什么词，不能不分青红皂白乱用一气。在词典，它的搭配是：

Part II: 我们如何推敲作文用词的？（以近期校园欺凌为话题）
因为飚记英语有个美文精讲栏目在周末推出写作，我们以上周写作话题为例。王鹏翔先写出一篇文章，然后我和其他几个进行审核，小王再根据我们的修改建议进行二次写作，三次写作，一直到四次写作终稿。这个过程确实比较累，但是呈现给读者的一定是很可靠的可以用来诵读的文章。下面我们就说这篇文章的用词：
School Bullying
Variousschool bullyings are nowcoming under the spotlight.Despiteconsiderable effortsto tackle the issue, the effect isfar from satisfactory.
Quite a few factors give rise to the bullying issue. First, many convenient media online and off-line have provided fertile soil for negative information, especially concerning violence, which will be rooted in children"s heart and lead them astray. Inadequate parental education should also be held responsible for their children"s ignorance of laws and indifference to others" feelings. They will end up appealing to more simple but rude ways, like violent abuse, to serve their purposes.
In fact, there is no simple solution to school bullying. Most important of all is proper guidance and monitoring from both schools and parents. Particularly, it is more emphasis on children"s ethical development and mental health that can secure a harmonious school, instead of prioritizing their academic performance. After all, students" self-discipline and moral sense count for anything.
推敲花絮节选：
Various convenient media online and off-line make children exposed tonegative information
修改：Various convenient media online and off-line haveprovided fertile soil fornegative information.
理由：fertile soil字面意思是“肥沃的土地”，但是这个soil可以进一步灵活运用，下面有具体解释。expose这个词这里用得其实挺好的，但我们认为，最好用expose children to...。
这就涉及到make的消除规则，参看：
详解版：
School Bullying
Various school bullyings are nowcoming under the spotlight.Despiteconsiderable effortsto tackle the issue, the effect isfar from satisfactory.
注解：
1. spotlight n. ①聚光灯 ②the spotlight [U] attention from newspapers, television and the public 媒体和公众的注意，写作时我们经常会写道：某事引起了广泛关注，成为了焦点，会写成sth has aroused public attention/ discussion等，这里就可以使用come under the spotlight来替换使用。除此之外，limelight也表示“公众注意的中心”，和spotlight同义。
拓展：表达“某事引起了广泛关注，成为了焦点”，还有很多表达，你能想出哪些呢？
Keys: sth become the talk of the town, sth is on everyone’s lips等。
1. considerable adj. great in amount, size, importance, etc. 相当多(或大、重要等)的，可以在某些场合替换使用过多的万能词great。
2. far from adv. used for saying that the real situation is the opposite of what you mention 根本不，并不，远不及，其意义就是not，并加强了语气。比如far from good, far from perfect就是“不好”的意思，写作时我们可以经常用到，用来修饰一些形容词。
Quite a fewfactorsgive rise tothe bullying issue. First, many convenient media online and off-line haveprovided fertile soil fornegative information, especially concerning violence, which willbe rooted inchildren"s heart andlead them astray. Inadequate parental education should alsobe held responsible fortheir children"signorance oflaws andindifference toothers" feelings. They willend up appealing tomore simple but rude ways, like violent abuse, toserve their purposes.
注解：
1. 这一句是我写作经常用的一种句式，可以说是万能句型了，大家在写作时只需要把violence和别的可以换话题的词替换就可以使用了。本句中，fertile的意思是“肥沃的”，那么fertile soil字面意思是“肥沃的土地”但在这里我们取它的引申义“（可供某事发展的）沃土”。例如：Eastern Europe provided fertile soil for political activists. 东欧是政治活跃分子的温床。
2. inadequate parental education 缺少父母教育
3. be held responsible for 是...的成因，作为原因；成为起因
拓展：表达这个意思的短语还有哪些？
Keys: be to blame..., be a contributory factor等
4. serve one’s purpose 达到某人的目的。除此之外，短语serve no useful purpose表示没有用处，可以用来替换useless，serve the original purpose意思是“达到初衷，达到初始的目的”。这些短语大家都可以积累一下，以便使用。
In fact, there is no simple solution to school bullying.Most important of allis proper guidance and monitoring from both schools and parents. Particularly, it is moreemphasis onchildren"sethical development and mental healththat cansecure a harmonious school,instead ofprioritizingtheir academic performance. After all, students" self-discipline and moral sensecount for anything.
注解：
1. there is no simple solution to ...没有直接简单的解决方法，在总结时，用在一些重大的困难问题比较合适。
2. secure v. (formal) to obtain or achieve sth, especially when this means using a lot of effort (尤指经过努力)获得,取得,实现，在这里是熟词生意，或者我们也可以理解成“使...安全”，都可以。
3. prioritize v. to treat sth as being more important than other things 优先处理，和短语give priority to在意思上没有区别，但是单独使用动词更有力度，这个以后大家学习深入了就会了解到。
4. count for anything v.重要。相当于count for much。
