　　Our Art Festival

　　荣恩林

　　“Work while you work and play while you play， this is the way to be happy and gay. ”The .Art Festival① held in our school let us have a good time after the hard work of a long term .

　　On Friday afternoon at the end of last term， our class， that is， Class 5 of Senior Two， had a wonderful party to celebrate this happy festival.

　　First we had music and dance——piano sonata②， exciting songs， brilliant waltz③ dance， then most popular disco④ music， etc， —— all this made us extremely happy.

　　Then we had one competition after another. It was soon about five o'clock before we knew it. The most exciting program began： Cooking Competition . Each group of our class had to make some special dishes . At once students became cooks， though they coudn't tell the salt from gourmet powder⑤ the day before.

　　At seven o'clock all dishes were ready.“Ah， it tastes wonderfully delicious，”someone shouted. Then here and there applause was heard.

　　At last we had to finish our party . When we said good-bye to each other， we had the same feeling in our hearts： “We wish to have more and more of such wonderful time in our school life. We young students need to be happy after our lessons . Our life should be filled with joy.”

　　「写法指要」

　　文章开头总的介绍学校举办艺术节。接下来从第二段开始就把题材具体到作者自己的班为庆祝艺术节而举办的一次聚会上，以点代面，烘托整体。写班里的聚会时，从低潮向高潮（climax）展开，先写音乐、唱歌、舞蹈和其他活动，再写烹任比赛，使聚会达到高潮。最后，作者写出同学们一致的心愿：青年学生在紧张的学习之余，需要生动活泼的娱乐活动。全文用引语开头，又用引语结束，形成前后照应之势。
