審題：
《西湖晨景》該題目非常簡潔，在提綱中已給出文章的主題，即越來越多的外國人喜愛在中國生活——在描述圖畫后，給出原因即可。
Sample:
What an attractive scene it is! On such a peaceful and beautiful morning by West Lake, a middleaged foreigner is jogging—he is enjoying the fresh air, cool breeze and charming scenery. From this picture, we can see clearly that the foreigner enjoys life in this Chinese city, Hangzhou.
As a matter of fact, in the past few years, more and more foreigners have chosen to live in China. Some work here, some pursue their study in universities and even some join volunteer activities in China. The reasons why more and more foreigners like to live in China can be listed as follows. To begin with, since China’s reform and openingup in 1978, our country has witnessed great progress in nearly all aspects of the society, especially in economy, which provides a far better environment of working, investing and studying for foreigners. Second, economic globalization has made cultural blending possible and necessary. Foreigners have come to know more and more about Chinese culture and become influenced by it, which has formed the important basis of their living in China. Last but not the least, it is obvious that with every effort we have made in environmental protection, our country has become a place more and more suitable and pleasant to live in.
In my opinion, the arrival of foreigners brings more chances and opportunities of economic development. So why not seize such chances to embrace our bright future?
點評：
第一段描述圖畫。這一段寫得非常精彩，先以感嘆句開頭，而后描述圖畫，最后小結(jié)——這位外國人喜愛在杭州的生活。
第二段前兩句總結(jié)了外國人來我國的現(xiàn)象。第三句是原因類的模板句，而后分三點來說：第一點是說改革開放后我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展迅速，給外國人提供了很好的工作、投資和學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境；第二點是說經(jīng)濟全球化促進文化融合——外國人對中國文化了解更多，這構(gòu)成了他們在中國生活的重要基礎(chǔ)；第三點是說環(huán)境保護效果顯著，居住條件自然改善了。
最后一段說外國人的到來帶到了更多的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的機會，所以為什么不抓住這些機會來擁抱我們美好的明天呢？
心得：
要寫出好文章，首先要對文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)非常熟悉，而后再做出一些變化，這些變化通常就是亮點。比如第一段先使用了一個感嘆句，立即吸引了讀者的注意力。第三段第二句使用了反問句，效果非常強烈。
