2007年廣東高考英語卷將新增的任務型寫作與2006年英語(II)的作文形式基本相似,不但考查考生的綜合運用語言的能力,而且對考生提取信息和分析歸納的能力也有較高的要求。任務型寫作重點考查考生概括的準確性、語言的規(guī)范性、內容的合理性以及篇章的連貫性,顯然,比往年的書面表達題難度加大了。現(xiàn)就一篇例題來談談任務型寫作的解題步驟。
例題:閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求,寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Poll: 1/3 Graduates Say University Study Not Worth it
With the job market tightening and college enrollment expanding, over a third of young Chinese say their college study experience was not as rewarding as they had expected, according to a newspaper survey.
The survey, published in Monday’s China Youth Daily, showed that 34.7 percent of the 8,777 respondents said they regretted their university experience as what they had learnt was not worth the time and money invested.
About 51.5 percent of the respondents said they had learnt nothing practical in university and 39.2 percent said they couldn’t land a job with a bachelor’s degree, the survey said.
Nearly 4.13 million students graduated from China’s universities in 2006, compared with 1.15 million in 2001, the survey said. But salaries for university graduates have been declining.
Before college enrollments exploded six years ago, university graduates could easily find a job with a monthly salary of 2,500—3,000 yuan. But now graduates are willing to work for just hundreds of yuan a month to find a slot in the already tight job markets, the survey said.
67.2 percent of the polled said university study had become less rewarding after enrollments expanded. But another 44.7 percent thought it would be harder to find a job without university experience.
About 28 percent of respondents said that, if they were to do it again, they would choose to enter a polytechnic rather than a university because today’s employers seemed to be prefers practical skills.

A recent survey reveals that over a third of the surveyed graduates regret attending university. The signals of the survey should be watched.
First, there are problems in our higher education system; it cannot meet the practical social needs. However, the tutor fees are high.
On the side of the students, some graduates lack a correct judgment of the reality. The majority of the graduates hope to find a satisfactory job in big cities, such expectations obviously go against social needs, and it is not realistic.
What should be done is to reform higher education and help students adjust job expectations, build a correct outlook on life and values.
Another thing should be pointed out is that these students should recognize they will be regretting all their life if not going to college. Colleges and universities offer you an access to knowledge and capabilities. Knowledge changes your life; it’s harder to compete with others without knowledge or skills. On the campus, you develop yourself in all aspects, and get prepared for a new start in your life. In my opinion, it’s better to seize the time than to regret later.

It is high time that we took steps to save water. First, we should strengthen the sense of saving water; it’s everyone’s responsibility to do it. Second, we should try our best to protect lakes and rivers from being polluted. Third, recycling water is an effective way to save water indoors and outdoors, especially in industry. Thus, they help secure the water supply both for ourselves and for future generations.
