Question

【題目】There are the two simple words, “if” and “what”. These two words can be used in many sentences and questions by themselves, but if you put them together, it forms a serious question, “What if…?”

This question will bring you back to a certain time in your life when you made a choice. You may not be happy with that choice today and often think about why you did it, but you made the decision because it was the best choice at that specific moment in your life. Now, years later, you start to think about that specific choice you made. You mentally struggle with yourself and consider if you could choose again, what would you do? Would it be totally different?

I truly believe if you want something very much, you can do it and achieve it , because “Where there is a will, there is a way.” You can correct the mistakes of your decisions for the past, go out and find happiness in the right decisions for your future. It is never too late to do anything in life.

Answer 1

【答案】

This passage mainly tells us it is never too late to achieve our dreams so long as we have the determination, even though some wrong decisions may have been made before.

As for me, I believe in the old saying “Nothing is impossible.” No matter how many difficulties we might go through, we can overcome them if we don’t give up.

Harland Sanders, who quitted school and worked on a farm at 14, became a cook and dishwasher later. He did not achieve anything until he retired and used his small retirement check to start a new business at the age of 65. Now Harland’s business, Kentucky Fried Chicken, has expanded to all over the world. That man, who failed in everything he did, refused to be a loser. I really appreciate Harland’s courage and persistence. It was because he never gave up that he made a fortune. There is no doubt that we can equally succeed if we stick to our dreams.

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于開(kāi)放性作文，要求我們就所給出的一段材料寫(xiě)一篇作文。仍然屬于議論文，可以使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和第三人稱。在此文中應(yīng)當(dāng)使用第一人稱來(lái)寫(xiě)。議論文是比較容易的文體，提出一個(gè)主題，對(duì)這個(gè)主題展開(kāi)討論。對(duì)于這類文體宜采用三段式文章，第一段首先確定主題，而在這篇文章中主題已經(jīng)給出，只需要對(duì)題目中所給出的段落進(jìn)行概括總結(jié)；第二段可以結(jié)合文章的提示與要求說(shuō)出你自己的想法，并對(duì)其進(jìn)行說(shuō)明；第三段通過(guò)題目所給的要求舉一個(gè)例子即可，中間需要運(yùn)用上表起承轉(zhuǎn)合的連詞、定語(yǔ)從句、倒裝等語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象使文章富有深度、句式多變。此題目中要點(diǎn)給出來(lái)的并不多，需要考生自行組織，自由發(fā)揮，需要寫(xiě)的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)給出，但是寫(xiě)作時(shí)不要僅僅對(duì)要點(diǎn)進(jìn)行生硬的翻譯，而是要添加些內(nèi)容，使文章看起來(lái)更充實(shí)，要組成一篇通順連貫的短文。需要注意緊扣文章主題，給出的要點(diǎn)都需要包括，缺一不可。同時(shí)在寫(xiě)作時(shí)要注意使用高級(jí)的詞匯與高級(jí)的句型，不要遺漏任何的要點(diǎn)，同時(shí)要使用合適的連接詞來(lái)連接整個(gè)文章，使文章更有條理性。

【亮點(diǎn)說(shuō)明】本文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，層次分明，文中第一句This passage mainly tells us it is never too late to achieve our dreams so long as we have the determination, even though some wrong decisions may have been made before. 開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山，精簡(jiǎn)的句式，讓讀者眼前一亮。而文中也也使用了大量的從句和短語(yǔ)，也為文章增色不少。
