On my way home, I saw my classmate Lee fight with another boy. I thought it was none of my business. I was about to pass by like a stranger when I heard Lee’s cry for help. I made an immediate decision to run to stop the fight and warned them that if they continued I would report to the police. They stopped at once. After I found why they fought I persuaded them to make up in case there would be further accidents. After all, their cause of fight wasn’t worth mentioning. The realized their childish behavior and apologized to each other.
When you in a dilemma, you have to decide whether you want to sink or swim. There is always a choice you know. Choose wisely, it is your life.

试题分析：考察开放性短文写作。本文的写作话题是Sink or Swim - There is Always a Choice!
指在我们的人生指，总是有着很多的选择，考生可以选取自己的生活指的一个具体的事例来叙述该情况。如看见有人作弊，是报告老师还是就当没有看见。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：开放性作文只给出了一个话题，给考生自由发挥的余地很大。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。
