Answer 1

My friend Mike must have benefited greatly from humor. He is kind but overweight, which brings him a lot of troubles. Once one of my classmates laughed at him, “Why are you so fat?” We all stopped to stare at him, wondering how Mike would answer the question. He just said in a calm voice, “Well, because my size must be large enough to hold my large heart of love.” Hearing his words, we burst into laughter. Not only did Mike take the joke, but he also managed to cope with the embarrassing situation.
What an important part humor plays in our daily life! Why not possess a sense of humor and go along the road of life with happiness all the way?

試題分析：考查半開放性作文。本文討論的話題是“幽默”；可以從幽默的作用：能讓人開心，提高人的情緒情感，和別人更加和諧相處等方面著手；也可以從自己生活中的一些小事中舉一到兩個小的例子來進行說明。要求考生在保證內容要點全部概括的基礎上可以充分發揮自己的想象，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。
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，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。
