【写作任务】

为了提高英语写作能力，你和你的美国笔友Jack约定你每周就一个话题写一篇短文发给他，他对你的作文进行点评指导。假如这次的话题是“My friends”，请你写一篇英语短文介绍你的两位朋友(一位与你相似，一位不同于你)，然后发给Jack。

【思路点拨】

1. 定基调

体裁：描述与朋友之间的异同，属于描写性质的文体。

时态：描述人物现在的情况，用一般现在时。

人称：描述他人时，用第三人称。

2. 列提纲、写句子

3. 巧衔接

(1)写我和朋友相同点时可用and和also罗列；还可运用词汇的重复使前后句衔接自然，语意连贯，如similar to, we both, we are both, both of us等。

(2)从写和我相似的朋友转到写和我不同的朋友时，以及在写某一点Linda与我不同时，可用but作为对比和转折的连接纽带；此外，还可重复使用含有than的比较级的句子来描述与朋友之间的不同，句式的重复也可使文章更衔接。

4. 添佳句

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they are there.

挚友犹如天上的星星。你不时常看见，但是你知道他们在那儿。

5. 成篇章

I have lots of good friends. Although we don't see each other often, we know each other very well. Here are two of my best friends Jenny and Linda.

5. 成篇章

I have lots of good friends. Although we don't see each other often, we know each other very well. Here are two of my best friends Jenny and Linda.

Jenny is similar to me in some ways. We both have small eyes and wear glasses. We are both tall and a little bit heavy, and we are both outgoing.Also, both of us enjoy reading together.

But Linda is different from me! She has big black eyes. She is shorter and thinner than me. Linda is quieter than me. At school, we are both hard-working, but she is more hard-working, so she always gets better grades than me.

I don't care if friends are the same as me or different as long as they're good. I think good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they are there.
