Answer

Possible versions:

1. Summer vacation is coming, our class are going to have a nice trip. Some students would like to travel to Zhoushan, while others want to travel to Beijing .The place I prefer is Zhoushan.

Zhoushan is not far from here. We can go there by bus which will take us about 2 hours and the ticket is cheap, only 42 yuan a person. Though the weather there in June is quite wet but it’s not very hot. So we will feel comfortable there. The hotel there is quite clean and not very expensive, only 98 yuan a night. There, we can go to the beach and breathe fresh air. We can also go swimming. It’ll be very relaxing! What’s more, we can eat lots of delicious seafood!

I’m sure if we travel to Zhoushan, everyone will have great fun!

Summer vacation is coming, our class are going to have a nice trip. Some students would like to travel to Zhoushan, while others want to travel to Beijing .The place I prefer is Beijing.

First, we will take a 7-hour-train journey so as to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way. Besides, there are many comfortable hotels to choose, though a little bit expensive. It will cost at least 298 yuan every night. Possibly the weather is hot and dry, but I can stand it.The most important is that as a capital city, we can visit a number of famous places there, such as Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace and so on. We can learn a lot about the history of our country. What’s more, we can eat Beijing Duck there. It must be very delicious! So I prefer to spend my holiday in Beijing. What about you?

【解析】这篇作文要求我们写一篇投稿，内容是关于中考结束后，班级要组织一次旅行，班里提供了舟山和北京两个地方进行选择，你选择一个喜欢的地方，并阐述喜欢去这个地方的理由。这是一篇话题作文，题目中只提供了写作的要求，具体的内容需要学生们自己独立组织完成，这就需要学生们发挥自己的想象力和语言的组织能力，这也是这篇作文的一个难点。写作的时候，应先阐述自己选择的是哪一个地方，中心是阐述理由。例如在那里我们可以做些什么，有什么有意义的事情等。注意英语表达和汉语的不同，不要写汉语式的英语，要注意语法的规范。文章中使用一些平时积累的教好的句型和短语，增强文章的表现力。句子之间使用一些连词，使文意更加连贯。

点睛：这是一篇优秀的作文，短文作者按照题目的要求发表了自己的观点，并阐述了自己的理由。首先这两篇短文的内容都很完整，内容很充实，结构也很清晰。其次短文给出的理由非常合理，能说服人，有代表性。另外，短文中使用了正确的时态、人称和语法结构，表示也很流畅、自然。里面比较好的句型有We can go there by bus which will take us about 2 hours and the ticket is cheap, only 42 yuan a person、So we will feel comfortable there、What’s more, we can eat lots of delicious seafood!、Besides, there are many comfortable hotels to choose, though a little bit expensive.、The most important is that as a capital city, we can visit a number of famous places there, such as Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace and so on等等。
