Answer 1

As the saying goes, chance favors only the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experiences that I went through during Senior One school life.

When news came that I was not chosen as a member of the volleyball team of our school for my poor performance in the tryout, I was so frustrated that I almost decided to give up playing volleyball. However, my best friend Miranda analyzed my problems, pointing out that my laziness and poor preparation accounted for my failure. From then on, I devoted my spare time to practicing playing and consulting my teacher about skills every day. When another chance of trying out arrived, I got fully prepared and tried my utmost, as a result of which I was selected and became one of the most important players on our school team.

From this story, I am definitely convinced that we are able to seize an opportunity as long as we get well prepared, and that the better prepared we are, the more likely we are to achieve our goals.

【解析】

试题分析：题目要求根据英文提示并结合事例写一篇短文。提示语的意思是“正如法国科学家巴斯德所说的，‘机会是给有准备的人的’。如果我们渴望成功，我们就必须做好充分的准备”。作文不需写标题，不得照抄提示语；除诗歌外，文体不限；不得出现个人姓名和学校名称；词数在120词左右；不要出现标点和拼写错误，尽量保持卷面整洁、字体美观；注意行文的连贯性。

亮点说明：

范文使用了较多的语法知识：非限制性定语从句As the saying goes，as a result of which I was selected...；定语从句that I went through during Senior One school life；同位语从句that I was not chosen as a member of the volleyball team；结果状语从句so frustrated that I almost decided to give up playing volleyball；非谓语动词pointing out that my laziness...；宾语从句that my laziness and poor preparation accounted for my failure，that we are able to seize an opportunity，that the better prepared we are...，；时间状语从句When another chance of trying out arrived；条件状语从句as long as we get well prepared；固定句型the better prepared we are, the more likely we are to achieve our goals等，定语从句、同位语从句、状语从句、宾语从句等语法的使用提升了作文的档次，显示了较高的运用英语语法知识的能力；

范文注意使用However, From then on, From this story等衔接前后句和上下文，做到了语意连贯、衔接紧凑；

范文使用了一些固定短语：point out，account for，devoted... To，try my utmost，as long as，get well prepared等，丰富了作文的内容。
