Answer 1

Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards them may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English improved. At the beginning, I always kept silent in the oral class to avoid making mistakes. Before long my teacher knew about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out what I wanted regardless of mistakes. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraged, my teacher and classmates would help me figure out how I could avoid them in the future. Practice makes perfect. With time going by, I built up my confidence, and now I can talk fluently in English. Just as the saying goes, every bean has its black. We just need to learn a lesson from the mistakes.
So don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Learn from them, and success is just waiting for us.

试题分析：考查半开放性作文。半开放性作文给出了一个话题，并有部分的文字提示。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。本文讨论的话题是对错误的不同看法，错误是进步的过程中不可缺少的，结合自己的实际情况进行说明，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：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，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。
