Answer 1

Life is not easy. As a student, we should learn how to protect ourselves in the school.
When an earthquake happens, first we should calm down, which is the most important. Shouting and crying is of no use. Follow the teachers’ guidance and keep our actions in order.
Second, hide beneath our desks with our schoolbags on our heads if we are in class. That can keep us a little safer. Be sure not to jump off the building. Third, if we are on the playground, do not move. Sit on our feet and use hands to cover our heads so that they can be kept from being hit on. At last, help each other. When we are faced with natural disasters, individual power is tiny. Only by uniting can we overcome the difficulties.
These are my suggestions. Keep them in mind and maybe some day we can survive in case of an earthquake.

试题分析：考查半开放性作文写作。本文写作的话题是“How to protect ourselves in the school?”考生可以从地震，或者火灾选取一个来描写。在写措施的时候，可以从遇见灾难时要保持冷静，宾语慌乱；躲在课桌下面或者在墙体旁边减少受伤的几率。千万不能随便跳楼逃生。如果可能要相互救助，相互鼓励等等。根据词数要求，适当拓展并发挥想象，从而使文章的叙述不单调。
点评：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。
