A Plan for the Coming Semester
【正确答案】[范文]
   
A Plan for the Coming Semester

   Before I realize it, my second semester at college has passed and a new one is drawing near, which means I have to make another set of plans.
   Things I attempt to do are too many to name one by one, but the following will top the list. To begin with, as a sophomore, I must deepen my specialized knowledge, so I am determined to finish reading 5 books, besides the required textbooks. Furthermore, I will find a part-time job that is related to my major, because I understand that knowledge has more value when used and practice makes perfect.
   I might be faced with obstacles when looking for a worthy part-time job for lack of experience, but I'm sure God helps those who help themselves. If I have a solid theoretical foundation, a desirable post is surely available.
【答案解析】 本文要求就新学期的计划展开说明,话题与大学生生活学习密切相关,思路比较容易展开。根据题目要求,文章结构可安排如下:
   第一段简述背景(新学期即将开始),简要说明自己有新的计划
   第二段列举2-3条最主要的计划——注意不要太多,否则会像流水账;但也不要太少,否则会显得空洞无物。作为学生,要以学业为重,第一条一般与学习有关;其次,大学生通常希望将所学知识应用于实践中,因此可写兼职一类的打算。
   第三段分析可能遇到的困难,作为结尾。写1条基本就够了,最多2条,针对性说明克服困难的方法。
