30. The 2014 Shandong Gaokao writing exam marked a significant reform by deviating from the long-standing letter format, choosing one of the common English proverbs "True friends show themselves in adversity" and "Where there's a will, there's a way" for the second topic. This was a bold step in the reform of the Gaokao writing exam in the past five years. Candidates first need to understand the basic meanings of the proverbs, and then use a concise 150 words to combine explanation, narration, and argumentation, ensuring smooth transitions, logical reasoning, and evidence. This indeed places high demands on candidates' English knowledge, thinking ability, and expression skills. While innovation is present, the content is essentially "putting old wine in new bottles." In our second round of review, we have detailedly explained the topic materials of "personal values" and common writing sentence patterns, with the meanings of proverbs also frequently mentioned as examples in grammar classes. After ensuring a clear logical division of "explanation of meaning - recalling past events - summarizing and arguing," candidates can easily achieve high scores by combining the materials from "values," non-restrictive relative clauses, causative and passive voice, non-finite verbs, inanimate subjects, inversion, emphasis, and some advanced replacements of common writing vocabulary. Logically dividing the explanation of the meaning of the proverb (20 words) Narrating personal experiences (80 words) Arguing and elevating the main theme (50 words)

43. 谚语作为群众集体智慧的结晶，多具有鲜明的民族性和地域特色。由于中西文化的差异，一些在汉语中人们耳熟能详的谚语却未必为西方人所理解。所以在引用汉语谚语时，如果中国特色过于浓厚，则可舍其形而取其意，写成英语中与之意思对等的西方谚语。例如，有的同学想表达这个意思：本性难移，于是写道：As a Chinese proverb goes, a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit 这样写不但失之粗鄙，还会让爱犬的西方人大惑不解。所以，这个意思宜写成A leopard cannot change its spots 或者A fox may grow gray, but never good

43. Proverbs, as the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the masses, often possess distinct national and regional characteristics. Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, some proverbs that are well-known among the Chinese may not be understood by Westerners. Therefore, when quoting Chinese proverbs, if the Chinese characteristics are too strong, it is advisable to discard the form and take the meaning, writing it in English as a proverb with an equivalent meaning. For example, some students want to express the meaning of "a person's nature is difficult to change," and they write: "As a Chinese proverb goes, a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit." This writing is not only vulgar but may also confuse Westerners who love dogs. Therefore, this meaning is better expressed as "A leopard cannot change its spots" or "A fox may grow gray, but never good."
