Write a winning story!
You could win £1,000 in this year’s Fiction Prize and have your story printed in Keep Writing magazine. Ten other lucky people will win a cheque for £100.
Once again, we need people who can write good stories. The judges, who include Mary Littlejohn, the novelist, Michael Brown, the television reporter, and Susan Hitchins, the editor of Keep Writing, are looking for interesting and original stories. Detective fiction was extremely popular last year, although the competition winner produced a love story. You can write down about whatever you want but here’s some advice to start your thinking:
Write about what you know
This is the advice which every writer should pay attention to and, last year, nearly everyone who wrote for us did exactly that. Love, family, problems with friends ---- these were the main subjects of the stories. However, you need to turn ordinary situations into something interesting that people will want to read about. Make the reader want to continue reading by writing about ordinary things in a new and surprising way.
Get your facts right
It’s no good giving a description of a town or explaining how a jet engine works if you get it wrong. So avoid writing anything unless you’re certain about it.
Hold the reader’s attention
Make the beginning interesting and the ending a surprise. There is nothing worse than a poor ending. Develop the story carefully and try to think of something unusual happening at the end.
Think about the characters
Try to bring the people in your story alive for the reader by using well-chosen words to make them seem real.
Your story must be your own work, between 2,000 and 2,5000 words and typed, double-spaced, on one side only of each sheet of paper.
Even if you’re in danger of missing the closing date, we are unable to accept stories by fax or email. You must include the application form with your story. Unfortunately your story cannot be returned, nor can we discuss our decisions.
You should not have had any fiction printed in any magazine or book in this country ---- a change in the rules by popular request ---- and the story must not have happened in print or in recorded form, for example on radio or TV, anywhere in the world.
Your fee of £5 will go to the Writers’ Association. Make your cheque payable to Keep Writing and send it with the application form and your story to:
Keep Writing
75 Broad Street Birmingham
B12 4TG
The closing date is 30 July and we will inform the winner within one month of this date. Please note that if you win, you must agree to have your story printed in our magazine.
小题1:How should writers deal with ordinary situations while writing?
A.They should make them appealing to readers.
B.They should copy others’ ideas.
C.They should change some facts to make them interesting.
D.They should describe them as they are.
小题2:What shouldn’t a writer do?
A.Making the contents interesting.B.Getting the facts right.
C.Meeting the deadline.D.Making the end ordinary.
小题3:Writers should present their works in the following ways except that ____________.
A.they should write originally
B.they can type their stories as they like
C.they should follow some rules
D.they should hand in their stories in time
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Late stories can be faxed if necessary.

Planning your holiday? Whether you’re going to Yunnan or UK, it’s important to make sure you’re well-prepared. Here’s a handy checklist to help you.
Location
The first thing you have to decide is where you want to go. Of course a lot will depend on your time and budget. Do you want to relax on a beach, visit some famous landmarks, or hike through some beautiful scenery? All these things are available in China, but if your budget stretches, why not look at somewhere else in Asia, or even farther.
Packing
There can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling, but you don’t want to forget something important. It can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets. In certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money. It can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies. If you are going to be moving around a lot, buy a good backpack. Finally, remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather.
Accommodation
There are several things to consider when picking where you want to stay. Location is often the most important. When staying in hotels, it is often a good idea to book your first night in a new city. After all, you will not be familiar with the surroundings and will want somewhere to leave your luggage. However, don’t spend more than a couple of days at the same hotel. When you get to a new place, you might soon discover there’s somewhere better to stay.
Don’t forget
The key to a good holiday is detail. When you’re traveling, especially in a foreign country, don’t forget to change some money before you leave. If you’re traveling somewhere tropical, you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease. And it’s always worth taking out travel insurance, just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip. Don’t forget to check the exchange rates. The strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently. It can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest Chinese embassy, in case you need help while abroad.
小题1:You have to take all the following into consideration EXCEPT _______ when deciding where to spend your holiday.
A.cultureB.purposeC.moneyD.time
小题2:Pants with zipped pockets are recommended mainly because _______.
A.it’s a good measure in case of emergencies
B.you’ll be expected to buy a lot of souvenirs
C.you’ll carry many small things with you
D.it will help you guard against local theft
小题3:As for accommodation, the writer’s tip is _______.
A.to stay away from the downtown areas to get cheap places
B.to book one or two nights in the same hotel in case you don’t like it
C.to choose your location after you arrive at your destination
D.better not to leave your luggage in unfamiliar hotels
小题4:It can be inferred from the last part that we should _______.
A.choose the most suitable kind of travel insurance
B.use RMB in all foreign countries since the yuan is strong
C.check the exchange rates so as to decide what currency (货币) to buy
D.get in touch with Chinese embassy if we need help when abroad
小题5:What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To attract the tourists to travel abroad.
B.To tell some travel information to tourists.
C.To help the tourists make good preparations for their holidays.
D.To remind tourists of the safety during their journey.
