答案

Facing the Trails of Life
A boy complained about difficulties in life. His grandmother, who showed that a cake tasted delicious but its materials tasted awful, taught him that the trails of life make people stronger.
From the stroy I have learned that the trails of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “ No cross, no crown.”Only by facing and overcoming difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily.
It reminds me of my own experience when I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school. It was the first time I had lived away from my home, so I found it difficult to fit in. But the trails made it easier for me to adapt to life in senior high school, and the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life.
Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave in front of difficulties. Let’s learn to use the trails of life we are facing as stepping stones to future success!

解析

试题分析：考查半开放性作文写作。本文的话题是生活中的挫折会让人更为强大，在阅读短文以后你肯定会吃认同的态度。可以从自己或者身边的人身上寻找一个类似的遭受挫折的经历进行描写。你应该认为对于生活中的考验持积极开放的态度，。要求考生在保证内容要点全部概括的基础上可以充分发挥自己的想象，进而用自己的语言来表达某种观点或看法，增添了写作的灵活性，同时能较好地考查考生的想象能力和英语语言表达能力。
点评：半开放性作文给出了一个话题，并有部分的文字提示。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。在完成开放性作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
