Answer 1

分析 这是一篇图画作文，让我们写一篇关于拖延症（procrastination）的作文，这需要我们发挥英语思维，将提供的信息用英语完整流畅的表达出来．写作需要用第三人称，时态主要是一般现在时，内容要点包括：给procrastination下定义；用生活中的例子谈谈你对此现象的看法．我们此篇作文分为两部分，第一部分为拖延症的定义．第二部分为作者结合生活实例发表对拖延症的看法．
重点短语与句型：
mean doing 意味着做…
because of  因为
when it comes to 当谈到，提到
rely on依靠，依赖
高分句型一：Although we've been constantly reminded that time and tide waits for no man，when it comes to the crux，we still procrastinate and complain so much．此句用了that引导宾语从句
高分句型二：And that is the reason why we are in a materialistic chase nowadays此句why引导定语从句，修饰 the reason．

解答 Procrastination means delaying huge and important deals on uncertain time because of out of understanding how we must  do it（拖延症的定义）
I will do my homework tomorrow．That's a sentence many students will say at least once in their lifetime．Although we've been constantly reminded that time and tide waits for no man，when it comes to the crux，we still procrastinate and complain so much．（高分句型一）People are born to be lazy at times and the intrinsic motivation levels aren't high enough to warrant action．Thus，we rely on extrinsic motivation to help push us to complete the tasks we have on hand．And that is the reason why we are in a materialistic chase nowadays．（高分句型二）Because extrinsic motivation blinds our eyes to the intrinsic motivations that we should have．（作者结合生活实例发表对拖延症的看法．）

点评 英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实 的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力 方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．
