Chances always favor those who are prepared

Answer 1

The door of opportunity won’t open unless you do some pushing. Chances always favor prepared minds. The story happened when I was in high school can help illuminate the true meaning of the proverb.
On hearing the news that one student would be chosen and appointed to be the tour guide of some visiting teachers from Ireland, all of us felt excited. However, what annoyed us was that few of us could speak English fluently because most of us attached little significance to oral English. But our monitor, who practiced her listening and speaking nearly every day, was no exception. She succeeded in grasping the opportunity. Even more excitedly, she was offered a free summer camp to Ireland later.
Contrary to common belief that she was simply luckier, I think it was her preparations in advance that led to her succe ss. This is a lesson I can take from her success.

試題分析：考查開放性作文寫作,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，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。
