Question

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, It is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.
The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation ---for example, a divorce, the death of a loved once, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Answer 1

The passage states three types of loneliness---temporary, situational and chronic loneliness, among which temporary loneliness is the most common one, situational loneliness results from a certain situation and chronic loneliness is the most serious one.
When I was nine years old, I moved to Beijing with my parents, where I found it hard for me to adapt myself to the new surroundings. I didn’t get along well with my new fellow students because of my shyness and fear and I even didn’t want to talk to anybody. Never had I felt so lonely before.
Later, I found it easy to get rid of loneliness. Firstly, you can keep a diary, which can make you understand your feelings better so that you will have a good mood in your work and studies. Secondly, you can talk to somebody who can give you some useful advice on your physical and mental development. Last but not least, you should have an optimistic attitude towards what you are engaged in and be active to solve the problems ahead of you. Try your best and take it easy, and you are bound to overcome your loneliness. 

試題分析：本文討論的話題是“孤獨”；在第一部分的文字提示中把孤獨分為3類：temporary, situational and chronic loneliness。分別說明了這三種孤獨對人的不同的影響。個人感受方面可以列舉自己感到孤單的某一個例子來具體說明。孤獨的原因也許是遠離家人，難以適應新環境，或者是工作生活方面的不如意導致內心難以平衡。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。
