完形填空
Once there was a student who wrote one failing paper after another. 1 he put down on paper was 2 any good and his teacher knew it.Finally he 3 school, and as he packed his bags he wrote a long note to the dean.He explained that he 4 to be an auto mechanic, not a college student, 5 that social pressure and his 6 of duty 7 his family had forced him to go to school.It just didn't 8 out, and his composition course was the 9 course of all.He advised that composition teachers 10 students more realistic and practical tasks and encourage them to write what they need to write.
The remarkable thing about this farewell note to the dean was that it was 11 an outstanding example of good writing.There were no mistakes in 12 or punctuation(標點)or spelling.The prose(散文)flowed when it should have flowed and was clear when it should have been clear.It was full of the 13 information, in the right place, at the right time-in 14 words, full of dramatic power.Despite a series of failing compositions, this student knew how to write 15 when he felt he had something important to say and someone to say it 16 .
Language is 17 , as the poets have said.At 18 some of the time, the pen is mightier than the sword.Writing is mostly likely to be good when the writer wants to be.When you write, say what you want to in such a way that your readers will be 19 to accept your goals as 20 also.
