Answer 1

One possible version：

A Big Forest Fire

A terrible fire broke out at the end of October in a forest in the southwest of America. The fire, which resulted from the smoking of a careless young man, lasted three weeks and caused economic losses of about 20 million dollars. What’s worse, nine persons lost their lives in the fire and about 80 were seriously injured as a result of the fire. Thousands of firefighters and local villagers fought together and they finally managed to put out the great fire. The fire astonished the whole nation.

In my personal opinion, fire is very important in our life but sometimes it can be very dangerous, so we’d better be careful with it.

【解析】

試題分析：根據(jù)提示判斷本文屬于材料作文。通過提示語可知寫作內(nèi)容為報道一則消息并表明自己的看法。所以在行文構思時可采取兩段式。第一段描述事情的發(fā)生及影響，注意不要遺漏表格里的信息。在描述事件的時候，可以按照時間順序講述，也可以采用別的方法。同時注意上下文的銜接，靈活使用過渡詞以及各種句型，長短句結合，搭配適當?shù)倪^渡詞使文章銜接自然。可第二段用兩到三句話發(fā)表關于這個事件的個人看法。

【亮點說明】

本篇范文開篇點題，第一句A terrible fire broke out at the end of October in a forest in the southwest of America.直接介紹大火發(fā)生的時間和地點，關于事情的描述非常符合報道的要求。在對于森林起火的描述中長短句結合，體現(xiàn)了非限制性定語從句which resulted from the smoking of a careless young man。除此之外，復合句的使用頻率非常高，如nine persons lost their lives in the fire and about 80 were seriously injured as a result of the fire. Thousands of firefighters and local villagers fought together and they finally managed to put out the great fire.這在一定程度上增加了報道的緊湊型，同時減少了過渡詞的使用。第二段以In my personal opinion引導出作者的態(tài)度觀點，語言簡潔明了。文中使用的詞匯難度得當，固定搭配使用靈活，都為文章增色不少。
