话题写作：周围的环境

吴安运

◎话题解读

周围环境包括我们学习、生活、工作和娱乐的场所，因此该话题的写作与我们的生活、学习息息相关。体裁以应用文为主。例如：写信或写邮件介绍某地环境状况或变化;写便条告知活动地点;写日记记录自己的行程;向游客介绍旅游景点等。有时也可能出现说明文和记叙文。

高考命题者可能会从以下角度来命题：

1. 向外宾介绍你就读的学校、你所在的年级或班级情况，学校的图书馆、阅览室、植物园、电脑室、实验室、体育馆等。

2. 让考生以主人的身份向前来做客的外籍朋友介绍自家房子的方位和室内情况等。

3. 对公园、电影院、剧院、文化广场、少年宫等进行介绍。

4. 对公共图书馆、电子图书馆、书店、历史博物馆等进行介绍，内容包括建馆时间、开放时间、展出内容、教育意义和公众的反应等。

5. 就某一著名景点的方位、大小、历史变迁、特色等进行介绍并发表看法。

6. 简述过去和现在人们居住的房屋及设施的变化并发表看法。

7. 写一篇参观某名胜古迹或历史博物馆等的日记并发表自己的看法。
