Question

A little bay is telling his Grandma how “everything” is going wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc.
Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a cake, which, of course, he does.
“Here, have some cooking oil.”
“Terrible!” says the bay.
“How about a couple raw eggs?”
“Terrible! Grandma!”
“Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?”
“Grandma, those are all awful!”
To which Grandma replied: “Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves, but when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!”
“Life works the same way. Many times we wonder why it would let us go through such bad difficult times. But life knows that when it puts these all in its order, they always work for good!”

Answer 1

Facing the Trails of Life
A boy complained about difficulties in life. His grandmother, who showed that a cake tasted delicious but its materials tasted awful, taught him that the trails of life make people stronger.
From the stroy I have learned that the trails of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “ No cross, no crown.”O(jiān)nly by facing and overcoming difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily.
It reminds me of my own experience when I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school. It was the first time I had lived away from my home, so I found it difficult to fit in. But the trails made it easier for me to adapt to life in senior high school, and the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life.
Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave in front of difficulties. Let’s learn to use the trails of life we are facing as stepping stones to future success!

試題分析：考查半開放性作文寫作。本文的話題是生活中的挫折會讓人更為強大，在閱讀短文以后你肯定會吃認同的態(tài)度�？梢詮淖约夯蛘呱磉叺娜松砩蠈ふ乙粋�類似的遭受挫折的經(jīng)歷進行描寫。你應該認為對于生活中的考驗持積極開放的態(tài)度，。要求考生在保證內(nèi)容要點全部概括的基礎(chǔ)上可以充分發(fā)揮自己的想象，進而用自己的語言來表達某種觀點或看法，增添了寫作的靈活性，同時能較好地考查考生的想象能力和英語語言表達能力。
點評：半開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。在完成開放性作文時，首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體，如besides, further, last but not least等。在發(fā)表個人觀點的時候，可以使用諺語來提升整個文章的檔次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
