Writing

Suppose you are going to graduate. You want to hold a yard sale before you leave. Write a poster to advertise your sale, providing the following information:

1) time and place of the sale,

2) items for sale, and

3) ways to contact you.

You should write about 100 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name. Use “Li Ming” instead. (10 points)

一、审题与谋篇

本题要求写一个海报。海报是人们日常生活中极为常见的一种招贴形式，多用于电影、戏曲、比赛、文艺演出等活动。海报中通常要写清楚活动的性质、主办单位、时间、地点等内容。海报的语言要求简明扼要，形式要做到新颖美观。海报的格式，通常有三部分组成，即标题、正文与落款。海报的标题对于海报的宣传极为重要。因此标题的撰写要做到简洁明快，新颖醒目，抓住读者的注意力，海报的标题形式通常有两种：一是直接使用“海报”（Poster）一词；另一种则是根据海报的内容，撰写标题。海报正文是海报的核心部分，它是对海报标题的具体描述。语言要求形象生动，简明扼要。做到既有鼓动性，又不夸大其辞。正文的常见表现形式有：简介说明式，文学描述式，美术设计式。由于考试时间的限制，只有简介说明式可能在考试中出现，应试时把题目要求的内容写清楚即可。

指导语中给出的情景是离校前的一次庭院销售（注：美国人习惯在自家出售旧货故称庭院销售），要求海报的内容应包括：（1）销售的时间、地点；（2）所售物品；（3）你的联系方式。
