Learn to be grateful
The Thanksgiving Day in this year is on November 22^nd and__________________________

Answer 1

The Thanksgiving Day in this year is on November 22nd and it is around the corner. How shall we welcome it? Who shall we give our thanks to? I’d like to share my idea with you.
First, we should clarify why we are expected to learn to be grateful. Being grateful has always been a good quality in China, which can inspire a sense of responsibility in us. And I always think if everyone is grateful to our society, it will be more harmonious. If everyone has got a grateful heart to our parents, teachers and friends, love and happiness will greet us everyday.
Gratitude is so important and necessary that we should take action right away. Gratitude doesn't necessarily consist in how much money we spend or how great our deeds should be. We can just start with small things — give our parents a warm hug or make them a cup of tea, design beautiful thank-you cards for our dear teachers and send thank-you emails to our friends etc.

解析試題分析：考查半開放性作文的寫作。本文的話題是感恩，從為什么要感恩？對誰感恩？感恩的實際行動？重點是實際行動。寫作時注意準(zhǔn)確運用時態(tài)，上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關(guān)系，盡量使用自己熟悉的單詞句式，同時也要注意使用高級詞匯和高級句型使文章顯得更有檔次。特別注意在選擇句式時要賦予變化。
考點：考查半開放性作文的寫作
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。
