中考试题举例：2012年浙江杭州卷书面表达
中学生学习时间长、压力大，专家建议学生每天课后应采取适当的方式放松自己。你代表班级在一次“The Ways for Students to Relax”的学校座谈中与二(1)班的Terry讨论了这一话题，请根据他的观点和你自己的观点，用英语给你的外籍教师Mr.Griffin写一篇有关这次讨论的汇报材料。
His ideas Your ideas 1.Watching TV 1....2.Playing computer games 2....3.Hanging out with friends 3....
注意：
1.词数70词左右，开头和结尾已经写好;
2.可以适当增加谈论话题时经常用到的话语,使内容连贯；
3.所写内容必须包括上面表格中他的观点和你自己至少三个观点。Mr.Griffin,
Recently I have had a discussion about The Ways for Students to Relax with Terry,a student from Class One,Grade Two.
Terry
One possible version:
Mr.Griffin,
Recently I have had a discussion about The Ways for Students to Relax with Terry,a student from Class One,Grade Two.(As we study too long every day,every student should choose ways to relax.)In his opinion,the best ways are watching TV and playing computer games.He also believes that sometimes hanging out with friends isn’t a bad way.
However,I do not quite agree with him.In my opinion,watching TV or playing computer games is not a good way to help us relax.I think listening to music and playing sports are good ways because they can help us keep healthy.I often play Ping-pong after class and I find it really helpful to both my health and my study.Besides,I think chatting with our friends isn’t a bad way.I think it can help me get on better with my friends.
Terry
【跟踪训练】
中学生玩电子游戏非常普遍。假定你是班长李华，就此开了一个讨论会。请你根据下面的讨论结果用英语写一篇80词左右短文，介绍有关情况。
一些同学认为：中学生玩电子游戏可以促进智力发展。
多数同学认为：中学生自制力差，玩游戏容易上瘾，从而荒废学业。
你的观点：在不影响学业的前提下，适当玩一下也未尝不可。
参考词汇：电子游戏（video game）；自控（self-control）
One possible version:
Should Middle School Students Play Games?
Recently we have had a heated discussion about whether middle school students should play games.Different people hold different views as follows.
Some classmates think that playing games can make them clever.But most students think if students spend too much time playing games,it is certainly harmful to their health and study.
In my opinion,video games are a kind of wonderful entertainment.And if you have enough self-control in playing them,you can get pleasure from them.However,if you are lost in them,you will lose everything,even your life.
