High school students remend ren as message to the world
The Chinese character ren, a word that generally means “benevolence”, has been selected by high school students in a poll(民意调查)to highlight Chinese culture around the world. The character ren was selected by 8.33 percent of the 3, 000 respondents who took part in the poll, according to one of the organizers, a student from a high school.
It was followed by the characters ai, yi, meng and xiao, which mean ‘‘love”, “one”, “dream’’ and “filial piety”. Those characters ranked in the “top-20 most beautiful Chinese characters”.

解析：考查半开放性作文。本文讨论的话题是“最美汉字”从三个方面展开叙述。1. 简要概括学生推荐这五个汉字的理由。2. 简述你最想推荐的一至两个汉字及其寓意。3. 谈谈你的感想。要求考生先仔细阅读英语短文，在理解内容的基础上充分发挥自己的想象，进而用自己的语言来表达某种观点或看法，增添了写作的灵活性，同时能较好地考查考生的想象能力和英语语言表达能力。在完成开放性作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
