Answer 1

I only complete with myself
In the real world, everyone wants to be splendid. Some look for a man of straw(假想的對手) to catch up with, while others just compete with themselves. To me own, I certainly stand for the latter.
As a high school student, my dream is to enter a key university. In order to realize it, I once locked on the number one student in our grade as my target object. But the result turned out to be far from satisfactory. Under greater and greater pressure, I just couldn’t concentrate my mind on studies and often made stupid mistakes. I realized I had to make a change. From then on I stopped forcing myself but struggled to the end just to be the best of me. What I required myself to achieve was not to be better than anyone else but to defeat the old one. Since then, I have performed better and made progress day by day.
So it is really useless setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, since there is always someone who is either prettier or smarter than us. We might have kept chasing after others for a lifetime but finally found that we didn’t achieve anything. As the saying goes, “God only saves the man who saves himself.” The person we need to compete with is just ourselves. Life will be surprisingly wonderful as long as we try to be the best of us.

解析試題分析：考查半開放性作文。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。本文討論的話題是“戰(zhàn)勝自己，超越自我”，按照要求要夾敘夾議，通過自己的親身經歷進行闡述只有戰(zhàn)勝了自己，超越了自己才有意義，才是真正意義上的成功。，要求考生在保證內容要點全部概括的基礎上可以充分發(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。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。高考英語作文已經不再僅僅考察學生的議論能力，它有些借鑒中文作文，要求學生夾敘夾議。在敘述中，如果只是平鋪直敘那顯然得不到高分。描寫的關鍵在于捕捉事物的特征，而高考作文往往要求學生在短短幾句話中描寫到位，這其實是不低的要求。
【亮點說明】這篇范文用了一些常用的短語：如：far from satisfactory， struggle to the end，make progress，day by day，chase after，compete with 等，還有句式也多變，如：As a high school student, my dream is to enter a key university.這句話用了不定式做表語， In order to realize it, I once locked on the number one student in our grade as my target object. 這句話用不定式做目的狀語， What I required myself to achieve was not to be better than anyone else but to defeat the old one.這句話用了主語從句，    So it is really useless setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, since there is always someone who is either prettier or smarter than us. 這句話用it做形式主語和定語從句，We might have kept others for a lifetime but finally found that we didn’t achieve anything. As the saying goes, “God only saves the man who saves himself.” 這句話用了非限制性定語從句， Life will be surprisingly wonderful as long as we try to be the best of us.這句話用了as long as引導條件狀語從句。
