Celebrating My Birthday|祝我生日快乐

提示：

　　生日对每个人的意义不尽相同，所梦想的庆祝方式也因人而异。请写一篇约 120 至 150 个单词（words）的英文作文，文分两段，第一段以 People usually celebrate their birthdays with family and friends. 为开头，叙述一般人庆祝生日的方式；第二段则以 As for me, I would like to...to celebrate my birthday. 开头，说明想要如何庆祝自己的生日。

写作小栈

1. 主题句引导写作（guided writing）必须使用所指定的主题句（topic sentence）作为段落的开头，以主题句开头后，接着以下段落所有的句子都必须支持这个主题的指示方向进行，也就是思路的发展要符合主题句，如此才不会离题。

2. 依据提示的主题句，第一段重点在于叙述一般人庆祝生日的方式，写作重点在于如何庆祝生日（how），例如和亲朋好友一起吃大餐、从事一些带点疯狂又有趣的活动、亲手为父母制作蛋糕以表达内心的感谢、和心爱的另一半共度生日、或是把它当作一般日子而没有庆祝。第二段则要说明想要如何庆祝自己的生日，写作重点在于如何庆祝自己生日的方式（how）和为什么想要用这样的方式庆祝生日（why），例如挑战惊险刺激的极限运动、写张感谢卡送给母亲、和朋友一起坐火车环岛、看电影、到 KTV 唱歌、或写篇文章记录从小到大庆祝自己生日的难忘经验。

范文：

People usually celebrate their birthdays with family and friends. Some have big meals at home or at restaurants. In addition, cakes topped with candles are placed in front of the people being honored while everyone sings the Happy Birthday song. Others observe their birthdays by doing challenging activities, such as snorkeling or bungee jumping. Still others see birthdays as just another routine day.

As for me, I would like to do two things to celebrate my birthday. First, I will invite my friends to sing with me at a KTV on the weekend before my birthday. Then, we will go to the top of Yangminshan to take in the breathtaking views of the city at night. Second, on the evening of my birthday, I will cook a wonderful meal for my mother to show her my gratitude. That's how I want to spend my birthday with those I love.

　　人们通常和家人及朋友一同庆祝生日。有些人会在家或餐厅享用丰盛的大餐。此外，插上蜡烛的蛋糕摆放在寿星面前，每个人则高唱『生日快乐』歌。有些人会藉由从事浮潜或是高空弹跳等刺激的活动来庆祝生日。也有些人认为生日就和一般日常的日子没两样。

　　就我而言，我想要从事 2 个活动来庆祝我的生日。首先，在生日前的周末，我会邀请我的朋友一起去 KTV 唱歌。接着，我们会去阳明山山顶，欣赏这座城市令人叹为观止的夜景。其次，生日当晚，我会为母亲准备大餐，以表达我对她的感谢。那就是我想和所爱的人共度我的生日的方法。
