The facts prove once again that only socialism can save China.

【写法指要】

“内容提示”中说的“参观报道”实际上属于新闻特写。新闻特写通常以一个概括性的导语或引语（introduction）开头，点出部分事实要点。真正重要、精彩的内容放在后面，这叫做一宕一跌，即富于变化；首尾呼应，文义完美，使人读完后产生一种满足感，从而兴味愈浓，印象愈深。

本文的写法正符合这一体裁的要求：先把湖滨中学10间教室被洪水冲垮和只用两个月就复学的重要事实概括为一个长句子作为导语，接着用一个简短的句子写学校被洪水袭击后被迫关闭，作为上下文的过渡；最重要的内容，即复学后的次年5月作者参观时的所见所闻是全文的重点，用最大篇幅来写。最后用一句话结束全文，写出作者之所感。
