Answer 1

Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always availabe. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.
My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are.

試題分析：本文只是給出了一個提示：你無法選擇別人給你的事物，的是你可以選擇你如何使用它們的方式。屬于開放性作文。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。
要點：1.列舉實例來說明重要的是我們利用別人所給事物的方法更為重要，可以使用身邊發(fā)生的事情。2.表示自己的觀點。如：無論以后發(fā)生什么事情，我們都要冷靜，并仔細選擇合適的方法。
【亮點說明】范文中對于連接詞的使用非常到位，如besides等；另外句中的高級句式，如Disappointed as I felt….;whenever I had difficulties….；It is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are。
