【作文示範】
The Beauty in Our Mind
I am a middle school student. People often say that the middle school students' lives are very dull. But I think it is wrong. Our lives are very rich and interesting.
My teacher has taught us art education since we were in Junior Grade Two. Now we have learned it for three years. By learning it, we understand what is real beauty and we know something about the art of Ansient Greece① and how to appreciate② it. Then we made our classroom and our minds beautiful with the knowledge of aesthetics③ that we have learned.
On the left wall of our classroom there are two pieces of paper on which are written famous proverbs. On the right wall there are two pictures. And on one side of the blackboard is our bookcase④. There is a statue of Beethoven on it and we have all kinds of newspapers and magazines in the bookcase. At noon, if you come to our classroom, you can find many of us reading newspapers and magazines or listening to famous music of the world.
We have each a little newspaper. We give them lovely names: Little Grass, Sailing Boat, A Flower with Seven Colours …. Each of us likes running his own newspaper. We put our hearts into it. They are our good friends. And they are also a bridge between us pupils and our teachers. And they are also our exercise-books and composition-books. We write in our newspapers our good wishes, our splendid ideas, our carefully-written compositions, little poems and stories which are written in English by ourselves. And we often write down what we have learned.
In this way we make our lives rich and colourful. All of us love our class, our teachers and our lives.
We know Rome was not built in a day⑤. In order to become a good student, we should study even harder and master much more knowledge. We know knowledge is power, which makes us strong and our minds beautiful.
My dear friend, don't you think our lives are very rich? Do you like our lives?

【寫法指要】
本文作者把自己對生活、對班級和對老師的熱愛之情寄託於物的美：裝扮的教室美和小小的報紙的美。這說明了作者選材的巧妙和構思的奇巧。同時，作者通過對自已班級、教室、小報的描寫還批駁了那些認為中學生生活枯燥的錯誤思想。從此我們可以看出，學生生活的枯燥與有趣一是要看學生如何看待生活，二是要看教師如何去引導學生。教師從美育的角度去引導學生就會使學生的生活豐富多彩。
