许多同学在写作文时.doc

许多同学在写作文时，习惯于把“since”“because”“for”这样的词放在句首引导原因状语从句。事实上，在我们见到的英语报刊杂志文章中，这样的从句一般都是放在主句之后的。另外, “and”也常常被误放在一句话的开头，表示两个句子之间的并列或递进关系。其实，经常留心地道的英语文章能发现，如果是并列关系，完全可以不用连词;如果是递进关系，用“furthermore”“what is more”更为普遍。
我是一个美国学生，来中国旅游，去了长城、天安门等地方，词数不少于60个，注意要用过去式，开头已给出：

It was a fine day!

It was a fine day! I went to several places of interest such as the Great Wall and Tiananmen square.I was amazed by China's historical background and the industrious Chinese people who built the Great Wall. People are very friendly here. I was greeted by amiable people who were nice enough to tell me about the history of China and by modest students who later practiced speaking English with me. China has left me a wonderful impression and I look forward to come back here for the Olympics.
