Answer 1

【答案】What's your greatest regret?

Recently a survey was conducted in Europe among elderly people over 60 years old.The topic is “What's your greatest regret？” The results are as follows.

On top of the regret lists is that they didn't work hard enough when they were young, which makes up 72% of the people surveyed. Next comes the regret that they chose a wrong career, which makes up 67%. Another 58% say they regret not having had enough exercise when they were young. And the last regret, which accounts for only 11 percent, is that they haven't earned enough money.

In my opinion, it is really true that the greatest regret is not working hard enough when one is young. When young, one is energetic and quick to learn, and should therefore seize the golden chance or he will get nothing but regret when he is old, just as a famous Chinese saying goes.

【亮点说明】

本文是一篇看图表写作文。文章共分三段，要点齐全，能够把图表中的内容用语言展示出来，同时也表达了作者的看法。文章结构布局合理，文中使用高级句子。On top of the regret lists is that they didn't work hard enough when they were young,表语从句中携带when引导的时间状语从句；which makes up 72% of the people surveyed.句中which引导非限制性定语从句，同时过去分词做后置定语；Next comes the regret that they chose a wrong career,全部倒装和同位语从句完美结合；it is really true that the greatest regret is not working hard enough when one is young.句中it是形式主语，that从句是真正的主语。
