根据安省教纲的评估，来看看孩子的写作水平（7~8年级）
与六年级相比较，教纲对七年级的学生在段落结构、相关性和延展性方面的要求更突出。
七年级的例文命题是“An Advertisement For a New Food Product” （介绍一个新食品的广告）
Level 1的七年级学生写的作文。

Juicy, smooth chunks of delicious vegetables waiting in a jar of baby pizzaria. We invented this new kind of baby food to give babies all the nutrients they need, in a jar of our new pizza flavoured baby food.
For all you mom’s out there this food will be good for your babies so they can get all the vitamins they need, to help them grow and develop into a strong healthy kid.
The discription of this product is it’s reddish orange, comes in a jar and it tastes like pizza with chunks of meat and vegetables in it.
You mom’s out there should buy this product because it gives your babies the vitamins and nutrients they need, they also get all their vegetables so please buy this product it will make your baby healthy and strong.
教师评语：想法很简单，看上去营养好像是这篇文章的中心思想，但是没有进行扩展。段落描述性不够，重复性使用句式、想法以及单词来描述同一意思。拼写和语法上都有重大错误。
Level 4的七年级学生写的作文。

It’s dinner time and you want to make something easy and yet nutritious. You decide on a delectable dish made of chicken. Everyone is called up for dinner and things are going fine until Robbie says, “What is for dinner?”
“Oh, no,” he cries, “Not chicken again. I hate that stuff! I want hot dogs.”
“But hot dogs aren’t good for you,” you protest while trying to calm him down. “You can have them for lunch tomorrow.”
“But I want them now!” Robbie stammers as he runs crying to his room.
This entire scene could have been prevented if you had Wienerman’s Hero Dogs. They’re as healthy as an entire meal and as scrumptious as a normal hot dog. These tantilizing wieners are different because they are 100% real meat. Unlike ordinary frankfurters these hot dogs have no fillers, by-products, or MSG. These wieners give your children the vitamins, minerals, and nutrition that they need and give you, the parent, the reassurance that you are feeding your children properly! Wienerman Hero Dogs come in five savoury flavours; Burly Beef, Tough Turkey, Courageous Chicken, Flawless Fish, and Tiku Tofu.
So if your child is like Robbie then be sure to buy new Wienerman Hero Dogs at your local grocery store.
教师评语：语言组织很有逻辑性，文章开篇构建了一个有说服力的争论情节并在随后加以扩展。有效的利用了对话，预测并回答了读者潜在的问题以及对产品的疑虑。文章的主题、内容以及结尾清晰。语法、拼写几乎没有错误。有效、准确的使用了对话形式。
安省教纲对于八年级的学生，更注重逻辑性、段落结构的培养，要求学生会运用比较、因果等关系。
八年级的例文命题是“A Letter to the Editor” （给编辑写一封建议书）
Level 1的八年级学生写的作文。
Would you?
Dear Editor,
What do you think about school uniforms in your school? Would you wear them? Or would you switch schools?
I think that if students wear these uniforms it will give the school more respect. Also I think that if our students in our society won’t care about their indivduality.
If students wear these uniforms it will give respect to them. I also think that the students self-estem will be better because they won’t have to worry being in fashion.
If students in our society wear these uniforms there will be a decrease of the sales in clothes. This will make students not make fun of other students.
If all students wear the same clothes won’t make fun of other students because they will be wearing the same cothes. This will make the students feel better.
I think that if we put a stop to the uniforms then the teasing will still go onto the students. We need to take action know and prevent the teasing.
We have to be responsisble for our actions. If we don’t stop the name calling, not wearing the same clothes, and inbcreasing the sale prices of clothes this will all happen.
教师评语：没有写出明确的观点，没有说服性的论据、细节和组织性。用词简单，过多重复“If students”。没有摘要，并且有些没有写完整。语法和拼写出现重大错误。
Level 4的八年级学生写的作文。
“Nuclear Weapons and Testing will Plunge Us Into a Global Fallout”
Dear Editor,
We now have a new member of the nuclear club, India. This should come as no surprise.
In 1995 India was denied the right to test nuclear weapons, and enter the nuclear race. Today, three years later, India has started to test anyway, which seems to me to be much more frightening.
If India has the technology, why need to prove it to the western world? They are basically telling the western countries that third-world countries are now capable of testing and building weapons of mass destruction. This seems to me to look like an unnecessary flex of political muscle and strikes me as a very dangerous and childish act.
Where will it end? Other political unstable countries will follow India’s example, and soon every middle-eastern country will be building and testing nuclear weapons.
If we do not stop India and similar countries, it may be too late, and we will all suffer the consequences. We have seen the horror of this weapon in the past; now we are seeing it again. The only answer is the abolition of all our weapons of mass destruction.
What is the point of possessing these weapons? In my opinion a world where everyone has weapons of mass destruction will not survive for long.
教师评语：学生对社会问题展示了理解和观点。阐述的观点很有说服力，摆出的事实也很明确。段落首尾相连、摘要和更进一步的说明都很清楚。基本上没有语法错误除了“political unstable”。学生清楚地叙述了一个复杂的社会问题。几个事实更加证明了这个学生的观点。
7、8年级的学生思想更加成熟和多样化。我们再看七年级学生的level 1和level 4的作文的不同之处。可以看到，level 1学生写的文章明显缺乏创造性思维以及词汇量。所以写出的作文显得单调枯燥，并且重复的在说明同一内容。反观level 4的作文，首先妈妈和孩子的情景小对话非常有趣，好像就是发生在我们身边的事情。这已经瞬间抓住了读者的目光，吸引读者继续读下去。整篇文章虽然不长，但是几句话的说明已经把食品解释的很清楚，并且把消费者会提出的疑问也做了很好的解答。
当然，好的写作离不开阅读，古话说的好：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”。一篇好的作文，我们可以从中看出作者的文学修养与思想。“亡羊补牢，为时未晚”—如果孩子的写作水平没有达到家长的预期，也请各位家长多多陪伴自己的孩子，为孩子建立一个良好的、有效的阅读习惯，并和孩子一起进行讨论，鼓励孩子用批判的态度来阅读、思考问题。比如：这本书怎么样？为什么你会喜欢？这篇文章要我们思考的是什么？作者想通过文字和图片传递什么样的信息？等等。
