主題：農(nóng)民工
Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities?
1. 近年來越來越多的民工涌入大城市
2. 產(chǎn)生這一社會現(xiàn)象的原因
【范文】
For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities. Many men work on construction sites, while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers. Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.
First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population. In the second place, there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work. Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in big cities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children to receive good education.
I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.
【點評】
本題談?wù)摰氖且环N社會現(xiàn)象。第一段首句引入某一現(xiàn)象，第二句舉例說明，第三句是個過渡句，引起下面解釋原因段落的第二段;第三段是簡潔的結(jié)束語，其中的賓語從句嵌套一個狀語從句。
范文首先指出大量農(nóng)民工涌入大城市這一現(xiàn)象，并引出第二段所闡述的三個原因。首先，農(nóng)村有限的土地不能滿足日益增長的人口消費。其次，大城市有更多的工作機會。最后，農(nóng)民工向往大城市的生活，想永遠(yuǎn)居住在大城市。末段總結(jié)指出，如果創(chuàng)造一個健康的社會環(huán)境，農(nóng)民工就可以為國家做出更大的貢獻(xiàn)。
第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”，babysitter表示“幫人看孩子的人”。第二段第一點中的rural指“農(nóng)村的”;第三點中的permanently和admire分別指“永久地”和“羨慕”，receive education指“接受教育”。
