Answer 1

One possible version 
Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s my honor to give a speech here. My topic of speech is ”Smile for life, and every day  will be sunshine” It conveys the message that positive attitude really counts in our life. Once we adopt a positive attitude towards life, we may overcome whatever difficulty there is in our way, realize our dreams and gain success. 
Here I share one experience with you. With the College Entrance Examination drawing near, I was filled with great anxiety. Under great pressure, I couldn’t applying myself to study, resulting in failing in the examination. I got very frustrated. Just then ,my head teacher, Miss Zhang, approached me and said “In life we all have moments when we can’t achieve what we want. It is natural. Don’t allow those moments to weaken you, but turn them into motivation to inspire you.” Her words were a reminder which provided me with constant encouragement to smile for life. Consequently, I gained what I deserved .
So from the story, it is an optimistic attitude that matters most of all. It gives you the confidence to confront tough difficulties and to achieve what you want in your life.
Thanks for your attention!

试题分析：考察半开放性作文的写作。本文考察考生对于“Smile for life, and every day will be sunshine”的理解。实际上就是要求我们要积极，乐观地面对生活中的各种不如意。保持积极向上的心态，我们就能客服一切困难。考生可以列举具体事例来辅助说明。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。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。
【亮点说明】本文中使用了较多的高级词汇，如conveys，overcome，frustrated，Consequently等；也运用了较多的高级句式，如once引导的条件句，I couldn’t applying myself to study, resulting in failing in the examination中的非谓语动词的用法。没有追求使用过多的连接词，而是在关键处使用。行文很流畅自然，不拖沓，结构很紧密。
