首先，恭喜同学们考完了全部的课程，你们的坚持和汗水，一定会让梦想之花开得更为璀璨！其次，是各位辛苦的家长们，无论是妈妈们的“旗开得胜”，还是爸爸们的“马到成功”，都是考场外最靓丽的风景线。
言归正传，来聊聊今天的英语中考，听听乐在四季老师独家解析。
一、听力
今日老师们围绕在收音机边，全程跟听了调频中播放的中考英语听力。这几年的中考，在听力部分，题型和难度系数都是比较稳定的。
题型上，一直是四大块：
1.听句选图（6分）
2.听对话回答问题（8分）
3.T/F （6分）
4.听写 （10）分。
所有听力都放两遍。听力在中考四大块内容中（另外三块是：语法，阅读和写作），属于难度系数比较平和的一块，历年来我们训练学生的要求，就是做到满分。
1、听句选图：
6道题目的核心单词是：active in maths class, seat belt, make cookies, pretty clothes, cycling, swimming pool，辨识度还是非常明显的。
2、听对话回答问题：
形式上，全部都是一问一答的形式，一个来回就结束。在一二模中还会出现的两问两答，或前几年出现过的三问三答，这次都没有看见，应该说还是相当NICE的。
内容上，出现了水果、交通工具、时间、天气、计划、地点猜测、关系猜测、建议猜测。前五题是对话直接出现事实，只需要把听到的选上即可。后三体出现一些推理部分，但也是比较浅显的，比如出现了买鞋的情景，问说话人的关系，也是比较好判断的。
3、T/F
今年的T/F采用了对话的模式。T/F往年更常见的是monologue，也就是一个声音朗读一篇文章。之前在2015年也出现了一次对话的情况，讲的是买手机。而本次的主题是向新学生介绍学校的课程和活动，内容上和同学们的平时生活很贴近。语言上，由于是对话，没有过难的句子和单词，对同学们来说还是很友好的。
4、听写
本次听写的文章，是一个故事，小女孩KITTY在父亲的指导下，为妈妈种花庆祝生日的故事。整篇文章同样延续了“友好”的风格。故事内容很好理解。故事中包含的长单词有：birthday, beautiful, plastic, surprised, special。

When Dad saw the flowers, he laughed because they were not real. They were plastic. Dad told kitty they couldn't plant plastic flowers in the garden because they wouldn't grow. Kitty was so sad and she started to cry. Moments later, Dad got a good idea. He went to his friend Mr White to borrow some flower seeds. With the seeds, they started their work. They planted the seeds and put the plastic flowers above them. They worked in the garden for three hours. When Mom got back, she was surprised to see the plastic flowers in the garden. But after hearing the whole story, she was moved to tears by the special present. It was a present full of love.
二、写作
写作延续了昨天语文“真的不容易”的“接地气”风格，看一下今年的写作题My progress，（以“我进步了”为题，写一片不少于60字的短文。）你在生活或学习中一定取得过不少进步，比如生活技能的获得，学习方法的掌握，良好习惯的养成。请选择其中一方面，结合自身经历，谈一谈你是如何取得这一进步的。

由此可见，中考作文的方向可谓一目了然。紧扣日常生活和校园生活，并且毫无悬念的以绝对遵循考生第一手体验或想象为写作切入点的原则。其基本呈现形式必然是“学生曾经的经验或感悟或想法”、“学生有话可写”的素材。
中考作文满分为20分，评分标准为：
8分（内容结构）+8分（语言--拼写/语言/大小写标点）+4分（文采 – 好词好句）
值得注意的是，文采一定要在前面两个项目拿到高分的基础上，才有可能争取3-4分的文采分。所以中考作文一定要仔细认真，再配以平时积累的好词好句，争取做到A类作文，拿到18分以上。
英语写作可以粗略地分为三个阶段：
第一阶段，学习英语的基本词汇和语法。
第二阶段，语言和内容并举。
第三阶段，重点强调内容。
中学生英语作文基本上属于英文写作第二阶段的作文。在这一阶段，学生们已经掌握了英语的一些基础词汇和基本的语法规则，可以用英语表达自己的简单的思想。
所以，中考英语作文考查的标准就是1、内容是否扣题 2、用词是否准确，句子是否符合语法规则 3、语言是否连贯与通顺。
写作中我们可以遵循的一些基本步骤
1、认真审题立意，确定文章的灵魂。
2、草拟提纲，打造文章之骨架。
3、写出主题句，理清文章脉络。
一篇短文的段落一般分为引导部分、主题部分和结尾部分。每段的主题句非常重要，是作者思维的起点，切题的准绳，阐述的对象。段落主题句通常是一个语法结构完整、内容概括、用词简洁明了的简单句。通常将段落主题句置于段落的开头，可以使文章结构更清晰，更有说服力。
