Answer 1

【答案】

One Possible Version

The door of opportunity won’t open unless you do some pushing. Chances always favor prepared minds. The story happened when I was in high school, which can help illuminate the true meaning of the proverb.

On hearing the news that one student would be chosen and appointed to be the tour guide of some visiting teachers from Ireland, all of us felt excited. However, what annoyed us was that few of us could speak English fluently because most of us attached little significance to oral English. But our monitor, who practiced her listening and speaking nearly every day, was no exception. She succeeded in grasping the opportunity. Even more excitedly, she was offered a free summer camp to Ireland later.

Contrary to common belief that she was simply luckier, I think it was her preparations in advance that led to her success. This is a lesson I can take from her success.

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要就机遇发表自己的看法，学生耳闻目睹的事情，容易动笔书写。写作时注意以下几点：1.涵盖所有内容。2、根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态、语态；就本文而言讲述经理要用一般过去时。3、注意使用高级词汇和句式，以增加文章的亮点。

亮点说明：文中使用了illuminate，attach to等高级词汇和短语；也使用了when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的主语从句；who引导的非限制性定语从句；还使用了because引导的原因状语从句；使用了on hearing，however，even more，contrary to等短语和连接词，充分说明该作者深厚的语言功底。
