During the past three hundred years, when a country gains its freedom or independence, one of the first things established is a national anthem. National anthems are generally played and sung at formal state occasions and other events which celebrate or support the country’s national identity. Holland’s 16th-century hymn “Het Wilhelmus” is widely considered the world’s oldest national anthem, followed by the U.K.’s “God Save the King/Queen”-also a hymn, popularized in the 1740s. As nationalism spread throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, so did anthems. Many countries, such as the independent states that are today part of Germany, took “God Save the King/Queen” as a model and adopted hymns (songs of prayer typically addressed to a deity or VIP). Others, notably Spain and France, chose marches (songs with a strong, regular rhythm often performed by military bands)-which expressed a martial rather than monarchic spirit. With imperialism, Europeans spread their musical taste. Even when former colonies gained independence, they often imitated the traditions of their former rulers. The result is that most anthems are either hymns or marches, played on European instruments. Japan’s anthem makes for a good case study of European influence. In the 1860s a British bandmaster living in Japan, John William Fenton, noted that the country did not have a national anthem. A local military officer, Ōyama Iwao, selected the lyrics from a Heian era poem and Fenton wrote the melody. About a decade later, a Japanese committee chose a replacement melody by a court musician-one that had been composed for traditional Japanese instruments, but in a mixed style influenced by Fenton’s arrangement. The version in use today was also altered by German Franz Eckert to fit a Western scale. In addition to hymns and marches, British composer Michael Bristow identifies a couple of more minor categories. National anthems in South and Central America are often operatic, with long, elaborate orchestral introductions. These were influenced by 19th-century Italian opera. Burma and Sri Lanka are both in a folk group, as they rely more on indigenous instruments.

提示:每個人從小到大都有覺得寂寞的時刻,也都各自有排解寂寞的經驗和方法｡當你感到寂寞時,有什麼人､事或物可以陪伴你,為你排遣寂寞呢?請以此為主題,寫一篇英文作文,文長至少120個單詞(words)｡文分兩段,第一段說明你會因為什麼原因或在何種情境下感到寂寞,第二段描述某個人､事或物如何伴你度過寂寞時光｡
答案：I often feel lonely in two specific situations. One is when my family members are all busy with their own work or studies, leaving me alone at home during weekends. The quiet house and empty rooms make me feel a sense of emptiness, as there’s no one to chat with or share small joys. The other situation is when I’m in a new environment, like transferring to a new school. Not knowing anyone around, I have to eat lunch alone and walk back home by myself, which makes me miss my old friends deeply.
My old guitar is the best companion that helps me get through lonely times. Whenever loneliness hits, I pick up the guitar and play my favorite songs. The warm sound of the strings fills the room, driving away the cold silence. Sometimes I even create simple melodies based on my mood; expressing my feelings through music makes me feel much better. Once, when I felt extremely lonely after moving to a new neighborhood, I played a soft tune on the guitar. A neighbor who heard it knocked on my door and praised my playing. This small interaction not only helped me make a new friend but also made me realize that my guitar is not just an instrument, but a bridge connecting me to others.。略解：作文第一段從“家人忙碌獨居”“新環境無熟人”兩種情境說明寂寞原因；第二段以“舊吉他”為伴，通過“彈奏歌曲、創作旋律、結識鄰居”具體描述其陪伴過程，符合題目要求，文長與結構達標，語言通順且符合英文書寫規範 報錯
