How to write even better Chinese PSLE compositions by comparing a good one with an exceptional one!

高分作文-PSLE小六看图作文,你能写的比他好就能超过30分! The Good composition:- 一次难忘的教训 方思洁(小六) 一个人一生中难免会发生很多事情,尤其是发生在自己身上,当然我也不例外。虽然这件事已经发生两年了,但它像树根一样,深深地扎在我心里。每次回想起来,仍然记忆犹新。事情是这样的。。。。。。(原创开头) 我走出电梯来到了公园。我抱着我的猫,想到对面的公园散步。走着走着,我遇见我的好朋友——正恩。我抱着我的猫咪咪,向正恩走去。(看见朋友,还有走过去) 我把猫放下,便开心地跟正恩谈天。不知不觉,我们谈了半个小时。我往下看,发现咪咪不见了!我和正恩分头寻找咪咪。“咪咪,你在哪里?”我喊道。原来,好奇的咪咪看见一只小鸟,便追上去。(解释猫儿不见之理)正恩跑着回来,说:“找不到咪咪,怎么办?”我回答:“明天再找吧。希望遇见好心人把咪咪找回来。(如果加上更多形容感情变化的描写最好) 回到家,我拖着沉重的脚步走进房间。我看我的床头上放着我和咪咪的照片,我的泪像珍珠,一滴一滴地流了下来。”恩诗,快出来吃饭了!“我走到餐桌,看着满桌五颜六色的食物。但我没有胃口,吃不下饭。回到房间,我答应自己,明天要早点起床找咪咪。我也联系正恩,让他帮我一起找。(把感情表达出来了) ”铃……铃……” 七点了,我迅速地跳下床,准备寻找咪咪。我来到电梯楼下,发现有一张《寻猫启事》,那照片正是咪咪!我马上通知正恩,她刚好也来到。我播打了通告上写的电话号码。接听电话的是一名阿姨。那阿姨叫我们到十三楼去接咪咪。我兴奋极了,马上上去十三楼找那名阿姨。我找到那名阿姨后,她把咪咪放到我的手上。我看到咪咪,我把咪咪抱得紧紧的。(高兴的形容词如果再多样化,更好) 俗话说得好:“一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳。” 我学会了以后要好好照顾咪咪,再也不会只顾着讲话而不顾咪咪。(抓住看图的重点) Now below is the Exceptional one: 好,现在我们来对比下一篇超高分作文 同样的看图作文,但是由黄加宁 HCL 6-1写出:- 一个星期三下午,天空瓦蓝瓦蓝的,像刚用水洗过一样。爸爸妈妈都出去工作了,羽芯一个人在家里闷得发慌,便决定带她最心爱的小猫–豆豆,到公园散散心。 公园里空气清新,景色迷人,映入眼帘的都是高大的树木和绿油油的草地。“羽芯?真的是你?”一个既陌生又熟悉的声音惊喜地说道。羽芯转过头去,发现那个人竟然是很久未见的朋友–丽文。“丽文!好久不见,我好想你!真没想到会在這儿遇见你!”羽芯惊喜地说道。就这样,她们俩你一言我一语地聊了起来。 豆豆觉得很无聊,从羽芯的怀里跳出来,去抓在草地上的小鸟。小鸟吓了一跳,飞走了,豆豆连忙追上去。羽芯和丽文聊着聊着就忘了时间,“丽文,你看,这只小猫叫豆。。。。。。咦?豆豆呢?”羽芯这才发现怀里的豆豆不见了。她顿时急得像热锅上的蚂蚁。 “怎么了?”丽文问道。羽芯哽咽地把事情一五一十地告诉丽文。丽文也主动帮羽芯找豆豆,羽芯朝丽文去的反方向找小猫。她到处问人,连厕所都找过了,可是哪里都没有小猫的身影。 羽芯失魂落魄地走回出发点和丽文会和,心里还抱着一丝希望,希望丽文会找到豆豆。“丽文,你有找到豆豆吗?”羽芯问道。丽文瑞带歉意地看着她,摇了摇头,说:“对不起,还有啊,时间这么晚了,你也应该回去了。而且豆豆可能自己回家了呢?” 听见她的话,羽芯心里又燃起一丝希望。她们草草地道了别后,羽芯就飞似的跑回家。一进门她就喊:“豆豆,豆豆!”妈妈闻声而来:“我才刚准备打电话叫你回来吃饭,你就回来了。”羽芯丢了魂似的坐在沙发上,喃喃自语道:“豆豆,豆豆。。。。。。” 妈妈满脸疑惑地看着她,叫她吃饭了。羽芯坐在餐桌前,一点食欲也没有,满脑子都是豆豆。妈妈似乎猜到发生什么事了,安慰羽芯,说让她先吃饭,明天一早妈妈才陪她去公园找找小猫。羽芯终于忍不住了,眼泪像断了线的珍珠流了下来。“都是我的错,都是因为我没有好好看住它才会把它弄丢的。”羽芯满脸泪痕地说道。 妈妈安慰她说没事,说不定小猫被好心人带走了,可能他会贴启示寻找小猫的主人。妈妈叫她先去梳洗睡觉先,明天再找小猫。可是羽芯辗转难眠,十分担心豆豆的安危,直到深夜才睡着。 第二天醒来时,已经是下午了。羽芯匆匆忙忙下去公园继续寻找豆豆。当她走出电梯时,意外的发现电梯旁有一则启事,在找照片上的小猫的主人。照片上的小猫正是她的豆豆,她连忙拨打那位好心人留下的电话。电话里的人叫羽芯到公园等他。那个好心人是一个慈祥的老奶奶,原来她下来公园散步时,发现了失足跌进沟渠的小猫豆豆,觉得它很可怜,便把它带回家。老奶奶看见它脖子上的铃铛,就知道它是别人养的,所以她叫她的儿子把启事贴在附近几座组屋楼下。羽芯不断地向老奶奶道谢,并说她以后会小心看住小猫。 经过这件事后,羽芯明白了要时刻把自己的宠物看好,不能让它们乱跑,要做个有责任感的主人。(更贴近主题的结论)
