Answer 1

“ The truth doesn’t always go as it seems to” – a motto I have a deep understanding, which reminds me of a recent scandal. A famous South African athlete who was called “blade man” because of his huge achievement was accused of killing his girlfriend. This guy once was one of the few people giving me power to face challenges bravely in our daily life. I would have never believed my ears if I hadn’t read the news about him in details.
The scandal really teaches me a lesson: without careful research, it will be early to draw a definite conclusion on everything. A beggar might be a wealthy man in disguise, and a man with honesty might only conceal the darkness of his character. The blade man has “set an example” and we should learn something from him to equip ourselves with a pair of sharp eyes.

试题分析：考查开放性作文。本文的难度很大，讨论的话题是“ The truth doesn’t always go as it seems to”真相并是不如表面那样。考生在写作的时候命可以联系生活中发生的实际的例子，尤其是一些案件中的情况来说明实际情况和表面的存在差别很大。在发表议论的时候，要支持这一点观点。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。
