一、题目
请以“My Favourite Festival”为题写一篇文章，介绍你最喜欢的节日。词数：≥80。
二、技巧点拨
（一）审题立意
根据题目说明，本篇作文在体裁上是一篇说明文，要求写一篇介绍自己最喜欢的节日的短文。
（二）谋篇布局
根据题目内容和体裁，可以按以下结构安排来写作。
1、第一段
简单明了地指出自己最喜欢的是什么节日。
2、第二段
详细介绍该节日。
3、第三段
简单总结该节日的重要意义。
（三）遣词造句
1、第一段
可用一句话简单介绍自己最喜欢的是什么节日。如下面的英语作文句子所示：
My favourite festival is the Spring Festival，which is the most important festival in China.
【注意】
本段只有一句话，在结构上采用了复合句的形式：前半句开门见山指出自己最喜欢的是什么节日，后半句则通过which引导的定语从句，补充说明该节日是中国最为重要的节日。
注意favourite也可以拼作favorite（美式英语）。注意spring和festival连在一起用来表春节，首字母都要大写。
2、第二段
本段详细介绍春节的风俗习惯。如下面的范文所示：
When the Spring Festival is around the corner，people will go shopping and wear new clothes.Every family will prepare plentiful food，get together and have a big meal on New Year’s Eve.During the Spring Festival，people will often visit their relatives and friends，and they will express their best wishes to each other.Adults will usually give lucky money to children，who are always the happiest，for they can enjoy themselves by playing fireworks and all the other fun games，quite at will.
【朗读】
【注意】
本段从春节即将来临、除夕夜和春节期间三个阶段，介绍了春节的风俗文化。在句式结构上，简单句（第2句）、并列句（第3句）和复合句（第1和第4句）进行了综合运用。
注意around the corner本义是“在拐角处”，在这里相当于coming。
New Year’s Eve表示“除夕”。
lucky money表示“压岁钱”，也可以用New Year’s money来表达。
at will表示”随意地；自在地”。
3、第三段
本段旨在进一步升华该节日的重要意义。如下面的范文所示：
The Spring Festival has been an occasion for family reunion and an auspicious omen for a better life.
【注意】
虽然在第一段里已经说明春节在中国是很重要的节日，但并未说明重要在哪里，所以在这段里予以了扼要说明，即：春节是家庭团圆的日子（family reunion），是对美好生活的憧憬（omen for a better life）。
occasion常用来表示“场合”，类似于春节的各种活动节日等都可以用occasion来代指。
reunion是由re-（再次）和union（联合）构成的，表示“重聚；团圆”。
auspicious表示”吉利的；有利的”，omen表示“预兆；征兆”。
三、高分范文
My favourite festival is the Spring Festival，which is the most important festival in China.
When the Spring Festival is around the corner，people willgo shopping and buy new clothes.Every family will prepare plentiful food，get together and have a big meal on New Year’s Eve.During the Spring Festival，people will often visit their relatives and friends，and they will express their bestwishes to each other.Adults will usually give lucky money to children，who are always the happiest，for they can enjoy themselves by playing fireworks and all the other fun games，quite at will.

四、举一反三
