2007年广东高考英语卷将新增的任务型写作与2006年英语(II)的作文形式基本相似,不但考查考生的综合运用语言的能力,而且对考生提取信息和分析归纳的能力也有较高的要求。任务型写作重点考查考生概括的准确性、语言的规范性、内容的合理性以及篇章的连贯性,显然,比往年的书面表达题难度加大了。现就一篇例题来谈谈任务型写作的解题步骤。
例题:阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求,写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Poll: 1/3 Graduates Say University Study Not Worth it
With the job market tightening and college enrollment expanding, over a third of young Chinese say their college study experience was not as rewarding as they had expected, according to a newspaper survey.
The survey, published in Monday’s China Youth Daily, showed that 34.7 percent of the 8,777 respondents said they regretted their university experience as what they had learnt was not worth the time and money invested.
About 51.5 percent of the respondents said they had learnt nothing practical in university and 39.2 percent said they couldn’t land a job with a bachelor’s degree, the survey said.
Nearly 4.13 million students graduated from China’s universities in 2006, compared with 1.15 million in 2001, the survey said. But salaries for university graduates have been declining.
Before college enrollments exploded six years ago, university graduates could easily find a job with a monthly salary of 2,500—3,000 yuan. But now graduates are willing to work for just hundreds of yuan a month to find a slot in the already tight job markets, the survey said.
67.2 percent of the polled said university study had become less rewarding after enrollments expanded. But another 44.7 percent thought it would be harder to find a job without university experience.
About 28 percent of respondents said that, if they were to do it again, they would choose to enter a polytechnic rather than a university because today’s employers seemed to be prefers practical skills.

[参考范文]
A recent survey reveals that over a third of the surveyed graduates regret attending university. The signals of the survey should be watched.
First, there are problems in our higher education system; it cannot meet the practical social needs. However, the tutor fees are high.
On the side of the students, some graduates lack a correct judgment of the reality. The majority of the graduates hope to find a satisfactory job in big cities, such expectations obviously go against social needs, and it is not realistic.
What should be done is to reform higher education and help students adjust job expectations, build a correct outlook on life and values.
Another thing should be pointed out is that these students should recognize they will be regretting all their life if not going to college. Colleges and universities offer you an access to knowledge and capabilities. Knowledge changes your life; it’s harder to compete with others without knowledge or skills. On the campus, you develop yourself in all aspects, and get prepared for a new start in your life. In my opinion, it’s better to seize the time than to regret later.

We human beings are suffering the lack of water seriously. A study alarms that about three thousand million people will lack water by the year of 2025. As the population of the world is increasing fast, the problem is getting more and more serious, which will lead to a lot of problems such as diseases and international conflicts.
Water is the source of life, where there is water, there is life; it can even change desert into green land (oasis). However, water is very limited to human beings, especially it has kept being polluted so seriously that less and less of water can be fit to drink.
It is high time that we took steps to save water. First, we should strengthen the sense of saving water; it’s everyone’s responsibility to do it. Second, we should try our best to protect lakes and rivers from being polluted. Third, recycling water is an effective way to save water indoors and outdoors, especially in industry. Thus, they help secure the water supply both for ourselves and for future generations.
