作文真题

Describe the differences between two singers that you are familiar with. Include reasons and examples to support your response.

【参考分析】

这是一道比较题，而且涉及音乐，咋一看似乎有些难度。但仔细一想，可以说的思路还是很多的，比如男女比较、歌声比较、曲风比较、舞台表演方式比较等等，重点在于突出不同。考虑到现在学生很多喜欢听欧美歌曲，对于欧美著名歌手都能说出一二，但要将两个歌手的不同之处说好，还是有一些语言的要求的。所以建议如果有话可讲，且语言表达能力过关的学生可以说欧美人熟悉的歌手，这样容易产生共鸣、方便评分人理解。而语言能力一般的同学，如果担心自己说不好，较为稳妥的处理方式是比较两个中国歌手，这样即便说的和真实有些差距也不容易穿帮，方便组织语句。（来源网络）

参考范文

Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley are two very different singers. Michael Jackson is known as the King of Pop and Elvis Presley is known as the Kind of Rock. They are both known for their odd sense of style. If you are dressed in a bedazzled bellbottom pant suit, everybody will say you are dressed like Elvis. If you wear a white t-shirt, black pants, a black fedora, and a single glove, everybody will say you are dressed like Michael Jackson. Both died young and both were known for their amazing performance abilities. The style of music both singers performed, however, was very different. Elvis would serenade with a smooth voice and the rhythmic strumming of his guitar. Michael Jackson would get everybody dancing with an up-tempo chorus and a strong back beat.
