英语六级写作真题练习：幸运数字真的能带来好运吗

　　You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below ：

　　1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运

　　2.也有些人认为数字和运气无关

　　3.试说明你的看法

　　参考范文

　　As regards lucky numbers, there has been a heated discussion amons the general public in our society. Some people believe that lucky numbers will bring them good luck. According to a recent survey conducted by CCTV, a high proportion (86. 5 percent) of people spare much money to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include the number “8"，which, for them, means making a fortune.

　　By contrast, others hold that such kind of idea only caters to psy­chological need and is purely misleading. Numbers alone can never bring good luck to a person at all without his real efforts.Instead, many count their good fortune on lucky numbers just to get a disap­pointing result.

　　As far as I am concerned，I would lend my support to the second opinion because I firmly believe that “ Opportunities are only for the prepared mind”. Only when every member of the society makes efforts to win luck with his own hands can we expect him to forget about the lucky numbers.

　　一句话点评

　　毫无疑问，第一段的一个百分比吸引了阅卷老师的眼球。 conduct, a high proportion of, spare much money 等词和短语的运用， 给阅卷老师留下良好的第一印象。注意:该篇文章是个例外，将“一 句话”放在了第一段，是因为很容易举出数字的例子来说明“有些人 认为某些数字会带来好运”的论点,传统思维中，一想到数字和运气, 总会想起8或6等;而相反第二段反对这种观点则不好构思例子。

　　快捷构思

　　第一段:在模板句引入话题后接着提出首段中心“有些人认为 某些数字会带来好运”。而后“一句话”数例为具体现车牌号含有“ 8 ”这个数字，希望自己能走运。

　　第二段:开门见山展现段落中心“有些人认为数字和运气无i关”，并用 Numbers alone can never bring good luck to a person at all without his real efforts 来支持这个观点。

　　第三段:直接展现自己的观点，并提出一个简要的原因•• Oppor­tunities are only for the prepared mind.

　　优美短语

　　1.cater to psychological need 满足心理上的需求

　　2.purely misleading 完全误导人的

　　3.real efforts 真正的努力(优于 hard work)

　　4.just to get a disappointing result 而仅仅得到一个失望的结果(不定式在这里表结果，是绝大部分同学不会主动使用 的表达)

　　5. Opportunities are only for the prepared mind.机会留给有准备的人。
