Answer 1

【答案】

One possible version

Desmond Tutu, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, once said, “Your family are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”, which tells us that parents are to us what lighthouses are to ships. Without parents, we would get lost when we grow up; without us, parents would feel sad and lonely.

I’m the apple of my parents’ eye. As a pupil, I couldn’t remember English words, often failing exams. So bitter was the feeling of being defeated that I thought of giving up. To encourage me, they told me to fill a glass with rapid running water. Unexpectedly, I found however hard I tried, my glass was only half full. Only then, did I realize what I needed to learn English well were right ways. With their help, I mastered the methods of memorizing vocabulary. Now, English has become my strength, which has also become their pride and joy.

No doubt both parents and we are important to each other.

【解析】

試題分析：本文是話題作文。寫作時要注意結(jié)合具體事例說明，語句通順，同時要注意準確運用時態(tài)、語態(tài)、上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關系。根據(jù)句意適當使用并列連詞，同時也要合理運用高級詞匯和高級句子為文章增色添彩。

【亮點說明】Only then, did I realize what I needed to learn English well were right ways.運用了倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)；Without parents, we would get lost when we grow up; without us, parents would feel sad and lonely.并列句與固定詞組巧妙地結(jié)合在一起；Now, English has become my strength, which has also become their pride and joy.此句式為文章增色，顯得文章很有檔次。
