参考答案

1.SayNotoDrunkDriving[1]Asisknowntoalldrunkdrivingisverydangerous.[2]Itputstorisksnotonlythedriver'slifebutalsothoseofotherinnocentpeople.[3]DangerousasitistherehavebeeSayNotoDrunkDriving[1]Asisknowntoall,drunkdrivingisverydangerous.[2]Itputstorisksnotonlythedriver'slifebutalsothoseofotherinnocentpeople.[3]Dangerousasitis,therehavebee解析：本文要求对酒醉驾驶的原因进行分析，并提出门己的看法。如果要求分析酒醉驾驶的不良后果，那就容易点，可outline要求分析酒醉驾驶的原因，许多考生可能绞尽脑汁也不知道该说什么好了。

范文从两个角度分析原因：首先，经济上富裕了，开车的人更多了；其次，司机主观上对自己的驾驶技术太过门信。这两条都很好，与醉驾密切相关，很有说服力。

是否还有别的原因呢?——无酒不成宴的传统习惯勺现代生活不合拍；法律上对醉驾处罚力度不够；酒席上人们的自控能力太差；等等。读者可以自己尽情展开自己的思路，写出好文章来。

最后还要说明“我认为”，当然要与标题SayNo的看法—致了。但要注意如何表达。

Analysis

[1]由outline改写而来，得来毫不费功夫。

[2]是[1]的支持句，putsthtodanger/risks是较好的搭配。

[3]还是描写现象。其中暗含这种现象的存在原因，于是下文就可以就这些原因进行分析。注意这句话与前一段话之间有转折关系，用了让步结构。

[4][5]onereasonisthat；anotherreasonisthat…，衔接自然。

[6]注意tallvictimto的用法

[7]是作文标题的再现!主题句。

[8]怎样sayno呢?再提—下具体措施，文章就更加有力度了。也是[7]的支持/扩展句。
