Question

根據(jù)以下提示，結(jié)合生活中的一個(gè)事例，用英語寫一篇短文，談?wù)勀銓?duì)“機(jī)會(huì)總是留給有準(zhǔn)備的人”這句話的體會(huì)。
People often say, “I have good ability, but I don’t have the right opportunities to show myself, so it’s hard for me to succeed.” It’s true. Good ability does not always end in success, and opportunity plays an important part in one’s life.
注意：
1．無需寫標(biāo)題，如引用提示語則不計(jì)入總字?jǐn)?shù)。
2．除詩歌外，文體不限。
3．內(nèi)容必須結(jié)合自己生活或?qū)W習(xí)中的一個(gè)事例。
4．詞數(shù)為120左右。

Answer 1

We have to admit that ability alone doesn’t guarantee us success. But if you get yourself well prepared, there is always an opportunity for you to succeed one day.
My father is a Chinese chess fan. He plays it, studies it and discusses it whenever possible. To a certain degree he is a fairly good player, but he never had a chance to prove it and for this he often got complaints from my mother, saying he was just wasting time and energy. But he ignored them and kept this hobby until one day there was a chess competition in our city. Of course, as you can imagine he took part and won－surprisingly, the first prize.
Ability can’t always help you win opportunities and opportunities will never wave to someone with average intelligence and diligence.

試題分析：這是一篇半開放式的作文，考生在寫作時(shí)要注意根據(jù)英文提示，切忌偏題，短文主要談的是機(jī)會(huì)總是留給有準(zhǔn)備的人，考生要緊緊抓住這些特點(diǎn)，結(jié)合生活中的一個(gè)事例，適當(dāng)展開自己的想象，談?wù)剬?duì)這句話的體會(huì)。在寫作的過程中注意句型的多樣化和連接詞的使用。要求考生用地道的英語表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)，要求觀點(diǎn)明確，駕馭語言的能力強(qiáng)，選擇詞匯的時(shí)候要選擇相對(duì)高級(jí)的詞匯，也要運(yùn)用多種句型，讓文章更有變化。難度在于選擇合適的詞匯和句型表達(dá)文章需要的意思，可以變換使用一些容易駕馭的句子或者詞匯實(shí)現(xiàn)同樣的目的。在寫作的時(shí)候要運(yùn)用合適的連接詞把要點(diǎn)串聯(lián)起來，使文章成為一個(gè)整體。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：開放式作文難就難在沒有要點(diǎn)，給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地大，但也增加了難度，有的考生會(huì)覺得無話可說，這時(shí)可以充分利用所給的短文，展開陳述，但要符合英語習(xí)慣，句式選擇要富有變化。
