Answer 1

One possible version:
What we think is our direction and a goal of advancement. It guides us and makes us know what we really want and where we go. Then we spare our efforts to take active steps to make our dreams come true.
For example, Thomas Edison had a dream. He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, and began where he stood to put his dream into action. Despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality! And today, his dream lights up the world at night.
We think. We choose. And as we think and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.

試題分析：考查半開放性作文。本文討論的話題是夢想和目標的巨大作用。此類文章考生首先要表明自己的立場，要舉例進行詳細的說明，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。
