　　�币弧�審題與謀篇

　　本題要求寫一個海報。海報是人們日常生活中極為常見的一種招貼形式，多用于電影、戲曲、比賽、文藝演出等活動。海報中通常要寫清楚活動的性質、主辦單位、時間、地點等內容。海報的語言要求簡明扼要，形式要做到新穎美觀。海報的格式，通常有三部分組成，即標題、正文與落款。海報的標題對于海報的宣傳極為重要。因此標題的撰寫要做到簡潔明快，新穎醒目，抓住讀者的注意力，海報的標題形式通常有兩種：一是直接使用“海報”(Poster)一詞;另一種則是根據海報的內容，撰寫標題。海報正文是海報的核心部分，它是對海報標題的具體描述。語言要求形象生動，簡明扼要。做到既有鼓動性，又不夸大其辭。正文的常見表現形式有：簡介說明式，文學描述式，美術設計式。由于考試時間的限制，只有簡介說明式可能在考試中出現，應試時把題目要求的內容寫清楚即可。

　　指導語中給出的情景是離校前的一次庭院銷售(注：美國人習慣在自家出售舊貨故稱庭院銷售)，要求海報的內容應包括：(1)銷售的時間、地點;(2)所售物品;(3)你的聯系方式。

　　二、參考范文

　　Reading Books in Printed Form or on Computer

　　The popularization of computer has made it possible to read books on computer. With it, there is much discussion about whether e-books will replace traditional print-on-paper books.

　　Some people say they like only e-books, which are quicker and more convenient to get and use. To get a needed book, one has to spend much time or money in searching for or buying it in bookstores, but one can just type in the title, author or other related information of the book to find it in minutes on internet. Sometimes one can even read the full content of a digitized book free of charge or instantly discuss about a book in an online forum. Moreover, a lot of information of books can be stored in a small compact disc, which is easy to take.

　　Other people, however, think printed books are still necessary. In the first place, too much time in front of the computer can cause eyestrain or increase radiation risks. Second, a printed book can be read at your convenience. One can read in bed before sleep or during a boring journey, without fussing with a computer.

　　In sum, since e-books and printed books have their respective advantages and can complement each other, I would like to combine the two ways to meet different needs. For quick reference, a digitized book will probably be useful. To appreciate a poem or a novel, I prefer the traditional way of reading on printed books.
