【解析】2014山东高考写作一改沿用多年的书信形式，以英语中常见谚语“患难见真情”和“有志者，事竟成”作为话题二选一进行夹叙夹议，在近五年高考中实属大刀阔斧改革的一大步。考生首先要了 解两句谚语的基本意思，其次要用短短150词将说明+记叙+议论结合起来，衔接流畅，有理有据，确实对考生的英语知识素养，思维能力和表达能力有着很高的要求。创新固然有之，但究其内容，仍然是“新瓶装旧酒”。在我们二轮复习中，给大家详细讲解过了“个人价值观念”话题素材和常用的写作句型, 谚语的意思在语法课上也作为例句多次提及。考生在保证了 “说明含义-回忆往事-总结议论”这一基本的逻辑分段清晰之后，只需结合“价值观“中的素材，非限制性定语从句、使让、非谓语动词、无灵主语、倒装、强调等常用句型，以及一些常见写作词汇的高 级替换，就可以轻松的冲击高分档次。 【逻辑分段】 解释谚语意思（20词） 记叙个人经历（80词） 议论升华主旨（50词）
【例文】 Where there is a will, there is a way. My favorite proverb is “where there is a will, there is a way.”, which means we will be able to get over all kinds of challenges if we can stick to our dreams and never give up. Memories rushed to my mind when I saw this topic. When I was in high school, I had great enthusiasm for English and intended to take part in an English speech contest. However, when preparing for it, I found it very challenging to collect information and use language correctly. I was about to give up when my Dad noticed and offered this proverb to me. Encouraged by it, I spared no effort to solve every problem with confidence. If it hadn’t helped me，I couldn’t have won the prize finally. In a word, not only does this proverb enable me to face up to the difficulties bravely, but also it contributes much to keeping confident all the time. Therefore, keep in mind--- where there is a will, there is a way. Success comes to those who never give up.
