Answer 1

Encouragements can serve as a ray of hope during difficult times. The best ones to encourage a depressed soul are our friends.
It was 3 years ago when I just began to attend my high school. For the 1^st time I failed in an English exam where I had thought I could have done a better job, leaving me depressed. My best friend, Lily, tried every means to comfort me, offering her emotional support. She listened to me carefully and told me that Edison succeeded in inventing the 1^st electrical bulb after failing more than 300 times. Eventually, with her patient encouragement, I overcame my depress and was determined to try hard again. The next exam witnessed my great progress.
Encouragement is the best means to rid us of negative feelings. It can equip and motivate us to fight difficulties we may meet with in our life.

試題分析：題目要求根據所給的英文材料寫一篇短文。寫作時，不得照抄所給材料，不能寫成詩歌。材料大意是：朋友的鼓勵能幫助你解決正面臨的問題。幫助你對抗困難，脫離困境。作文要突出“鼓勵”的重要作用�？梢酝ㄟ^具體事例來體現出鼓勵的作用，最后用一句話總結一下鼓勵的好處。
【亮點說明】范文使用了短語serve as, listened to, more than, rid us of等，充實了作文內容，使文章顯得具體，有說服力；范文使用了一些語法知識：定語從句when I just began to attend my high school; where I had thought I could have done a better job和we may meet with in our life；非謂語動詞leaving me depressed; offering her emotional support；賓語從句told me that Edison succeeded in inventing；固定搭配was determined to等，語法知識的熟練運用給作文增色很多；范文還用Eventually來銜接前后句，做到了銜接緊湊。
