2019-2020年高一英语下学期课练15实验班 第I 卷（100分） 阅读理解 A Asure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write skillfully is to believe that writing is a“natural gift” rather than alearned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They feel that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. Such people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simply do not have atalent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and when they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chiefly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talent” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probably will not learn how to write effectively. Arealistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that writing is a skill. It is askill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to learn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensively. Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of achallenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings from one’s head onto asheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing—and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writing es from hard work—from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know. 21. Why do some people think writing is difficult? A. They have no time to practice writing. B. They believe few people can write well.
