Question

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
An elderly carpenter (木匠）was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely（休閑的) life with his wife and children. His employer(老板）was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but it was obvious that his heart was already not in his work . He built it impatiently and used poor materials. It was unfortunate for a wonderful career to end like that.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to insect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, ”This is your house. It’s my gift to you.”
The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would done it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into   building . Then with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. Therefore build it wisely( 明智）！

Answer 1

One possible version:
A carpenter felt regretful when he knew the last house he had built impatiently was a gift for his retirement, which reminds us that we should build our life wisely.
It is absolutely unwise of the carpenter to end up his career in this way. Treating his last job carelessly made him lose not only a good house but also his fame as an outstanding house builder.
There is no doubt that we shouldn’t treat our life as the carpenter did. As a saying goes, “ How you treat life, and how life treats you!” If we are unwilling to face or deal with our life correctly, it will reward us nothing.
Then how can we build our life wisely ? It’s fairly simple. The only answer is to be serious .Only when you treat all the matters happening in your life seriously , can you learn and gain a lot , which is beneficial as well as wise.

解析試題分析：此篇是材料作文，在寫作時(shí)首先要概括材料內(nèi)容，然后根據(jù)內(nèi)容發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)看法以及由此帶給我們的啟示。本篇材料是大家都很熟悉的一個(gè)故事，在寫作時(shí)要挖掘出作者通過故事想要表達(dá)的真實(shí)意圖，不能在理解上出現(xiàn)偏差。此文給我們的啟示應(yīng)該是：要認(rèn)真對(duì)待生活，否則生活就會(huì)愚弄你。此外在故事內(nèi)容的敘述上應(yīng)該使用一般過去時(shí)，在表達(dá)自己態(tài)度時(shí)使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。
【亮點(diǎn)說明】文中大量復(fù)合句的使用顯示了作者很高的遣詞造句能力，比如文章開頭用來表述故事內(nèi)容的復(fù)合句，還有正文部分出現(xiàn)的同位語從句There is no doubt that we shouldn’t treat our life as the carpenter did.，條件狀語從句If we are unwilling to face or deal with our life correctly, 非限制性定語從句which is beneficial as well as wise等。此外倒裝句Only when you treat all the matters happening in your life seriously , can you learn and gain a lot，和俗語As a saying goes, “ How you treat life, and how life treats you!” 以及非謂語Treating his last job carelessly等多變的句式不僅使文章結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，內(nèi)容銜接自然，而且也成了文章一大亮點(diǎn)。
考點(diǎn)：讀寫任務(wù)。
