五、写作题（16分）
Write a story about a little girl named Lily who loves to read. Describe her favorite book, how she discovers it, and what she learns from the book. Your story should be at least 150
words.
Example:
Lily has always been an avid reader. One sunny afternoon, while browsing in her local library, she stumbled upon a dusty old b ook titled “The Enchanted Forest.” The cover was worn and the pages yellowed, but Lily was drawn to it.
As she began to read, she was transported into a magical world where animals could talk and trees could sing. The book taught her the importance of courage, kindness, and friendship. Lily felt a deep connection with the characters and found herself longing to explore the forest herself.
One day, Lily’s teacher announced a school trip to a nearby forest reserve. Excitedly, she packed her backpack with snac ks and her copy of “The Enchanted Forest.” During the trip, she tried to find the enchanted forest she read about, but it was nowhere to be found.
Disappointed, she shared her story with her friends. They decided to create their own enchanted forest in the school playground. They decorated trees with leaves and made animal masks. Lily felt a sense of accomplishment and realized that the magic was not just in the book, but also in her own imagination.
From that day on, Lily knew that reading would always be a part of her life, and she continued to discover new worlds and lessons in every book she read.
Analysis:
This example follows the instructions by creating a story about a little girl named Lily who loves to read. It introduces Lily’s favorite book, “The
Enchanted Forest,” and describes her discovery of it in the library. The story then explains what Lily learns from the book, emphasizing the importance of courage, kindness, and friendship.
The example also includes a twist by having Lily create her own enchanted forest in the school playground, showcasing her imagination and the real-life application of the lessons from the book. The story has a clear structure, beginning with Lily’s love for reading, followed by her discovery of the book, and ending with her realization of the magic in her own imagination.
The example meets the word count requirement of at least 150 words and provides a well-rounded narrative that demonstrates the main points of the prompt.。
