Ling解析：写作提示：考试中的应用文以书信为主，在写作时需要特别

注意的是书信的格式以及语域。此题要求给市长写一封投诉信，语域比

较正式。第一段开门见山，点明写信的目的。接下来可以从噪音、排污

等方面简述建筑工地给居民带来的不便，但点不宜过多。最后在提出建

议后可以再次点题，并结束全文。

3.BuyingandSellingStocksasaStudentAtpresenttherearemanystudents

chanceBuyingandSellingStocksasaStudentAtpresent,therearemany

studentsengagedinbuyingandsellingstocks.Someofthemareequipped

withupdateddevicesoastogetthelatestinformationandseizegoldenchance

解析：［写作点拨］

①审题及布局。这篇作文是讨沦大学生炒股这一热点问题。在布局上，

可以根据提纲进行三段式写作。根据提纲，我们可以把第二点作为文章

的重点段落，运用总——分的段落模式进行写作：同时把第一点和第三

点作为略写段落。第一段简要地说明这种现象普遍存在即可。第二段可

以用一个主题句，表明不同的人对此有不同的看法，并说明原因。第三

段阐述自己的观点，可以是赞同其中之一，也可以是自己独特的见解。

②语言。在用词上，争取用不同方式表达相同的意义。多样化的表达方

式使文章显得生动、流畅，如对买卖股票的相关表达。
