I first played ping-pong in our basement (地下室) at home. My brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather. It was painted green. Although it was very simple, it served its purpose every day. My father never really played any other sports with me, but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him. My elder brother was also a very good competitor.

When I got to university, I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room. I spent a great deal of time there, often until the midnight. There were about three or four friends that I often played against. We were all at the same skill level. One of them had ever played in a tournament (锦标赛). A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German national tournament. We took part in a tournament. My ranking (名次) is the third place, but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun. I sometimes played with other friends who didn’t play ping-pong well, so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage. But before long I became so skilled with my left hand that they no longer had the advantage.

Later, I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university. I lost at first. But because it was double climination (双淘汰制), I went to the loser group. I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round. Surprisingly, I beat him 3 times and won the competition.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Later, there was a tournament held in the city where I studied. It was a tournament for university students. Players came from all the northern universities. I felt very proud because I took part in it for my university. I believed that I could play pretty well. I expected to get a good ranking in the tournament. I felt very nervous, because I played against a student who had won many times. I played very hard and tried my best. Although I lost the tournament, it was a good practice.

Paragraph 2:

After the tournament I didn’t often play the sport because of the busy study. But I played ping-pong with my friends when I was free. I thought it was a great deal of fun to play ping-pong with friends. It’s also a good way to make our friendship closer and keep us healthier. We sometimes took part in a competition together, but we didn’t care about winning or not. We all knew that a win was not everything. We just enjoyed playing together and had a wonderful time.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知，作者自小喜欢乒乓球，上学的时候参加锦标赛，打败了对手。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：后来，在我学习的城市举办了一场比赛。所以应该写在大学期间，为自己的大学努力打好比赛和比赛的感受等。第二段开头是：比赛结束后，因为学习太忙，我不常参加体育活动。本段应该写比赛不仅带来的是赛场的输赢，而且通过比赛结识许多朋友，文章最后表达作者感怀胜利并不是一切，友谊值得珍惜。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
