Answer 1

One possible version：

A Big Forest Fire

A terrible fire broke out at the end of October in a forest in the southwest of America. The fire which resulted from the smoking of a careless young man lasted three weeks and caused economic losses of about 20 million dollars. What’s worse nine persons lost their lives in the fire and about 80 were seriously injured as a result of the fire. Thousands of firefighters and local villagers fought together and they finally managed to put out the great fire. The fire astonished the whole nation.

In my personal opinion fire is very important in our life but sometimes it can be very dangerous so we’d better be careful with it.

分 析：
根据提示判断本文属于材料作文。通过提示语可知写作内容为报道一则消息并表明自己的看法。所以在行文构思时可采取两段式。第一段描述事情的发生及影响，注意不要遗漏表格里的信息。在描述事件的时候，可以按照时间顺序讲述，也可以采用别的方法。同时注意上下文的衔接，灵活使用过渡词以及各种句型，长短句结合，搭配适当的过渡词使文章衔接自然。可第二段用两到三句话发表关于这个事件的个人看法。

【亮点说明】

本篇范文开篇点题，第一句A terrible fire broke out at the end of October in a forest in the southwest of America.直接介绍大火发生的时间和地点，关于事情的描述非常符合报道的要求。在对于森林起火的描述中长短句结合，体现了非限制性定语从句which resulted from the smoking of a careless young man。除此之外，复合句的使用频率非常高，如nine persons lost their lives in the fire and about 80 were seriously injured as a result of the fire. Thousands of firefighters and local villagers fought together and they finally managed to put out the great fire.这在一定程度上增加了报道的紧凑型，同时减少了过渡词的使用。第二段以In my personal opinion引导出作者的态度观点，语言简洁明了。文中使用的词汇难度得当，固定搭配使用灵活，都为文章增色不少。
