Answer 1

【答案】The life-changing happiness course, opened for Senior Three students, becomes an immediate hit on campus. The instructor, a Harvard graduate, successfully got his message across by combining theories with personal experiences.

This course, I believe, is well worth taking by Senior Three students. Specifically, faced with the impending Gaokao, this group of students are burdened with heavy workloads and high expectations from parents and teachers. Sometimes, they will encounter failing scores, unsatisfactory rankings and mounting peer pressures. Without techniques learned from the happiness course, some of them would have a hard time adjusting their mindset and thus become ill-prepared for the next battle. Worry, fear and self-distrust cloud their heart and lead to their final Waterloo in Gaokao. How miserable!

To keep a healthy mentality, firstly, I will rationally analyse my strengths and weaknesses, doing thorough self-reflection in each exam. That is, never will I allow a single failing score define my value and quality. Secondly, a heart to heart talk with parents or teachers will help me drain my negativity and inject the much-needed positivist. Thirdly, working out regularly will release my stress and ensure my physical and mental well-being.

【解析】

本文是一篇任务型写作。要求阅读文章并概括文章主要内容，并对文章中讨论的问题发表出你个人的观点。

这篇作文没有采取高考一贯的观点对比类，而采取平铺直述，层层剖析事物背后的原因，探讨Mr. Lee, 在校园开设幸福课，深受学生欢迎。

第一段：对话有如下2个要点：

幸福心理学这门课很受高三学生欢迎，为他们在重大压力提供了一个很好的缓解出口。

Mr. Lee, 以自己成功但不幸福的亲历生活来为学生阐释教学要点。

The life-changing happiness course, opened for Senior Three students, becomes an immediate hit on campus. The instructor, a Harvard graduate, successfully got his message across by combining theories with personal experiences. (32 words)

第二段：高三学生，压力的首当其冲承受者，当然需要这门幸福心理学的课，第一，高考不仅仅关乎学科知识的掌握程度，更重要的是面临大事，心态的考察。这门课可以很好地让学生看清楚高考的本质，即，人生历程的一个小型十字路口，用尽全力，但是不用太在意结果，这种理念，可以很好地帮助学生调整自己的心态。第二，高三要经历大大小小的各种考试，分数有好有坏，倘若不知道用何种方法指导自己看淡这些分数，我们的情绪很容易受到这些分数的左右，以致于不能专心学习。幸福心理学可以很好地帮助如何坦然面对各种不好的分数，迅速从小型失败中恢复过来。

This course, I believe, is well worth taking by Senior Three students. Specifically, faced with the impending Gaokao, this group of students are burdened with heavy workloads and high expectations from parents and teachers. Sometimes, they will encounter failing scores, unsatisfactory rankings and mounting peer pressures. Without techniques learned from the happiness course, some of them would have a hard time adjusting their mindset and thus become ill-prepared for the next battle. Worry, fear and self-distrust cloud their heart and lead to their final Waterloo in Gaokao. How miserable! (73 words)

第三段：保持好心态，第一，面对失败，理性分析自己的优势和不足，不能因为一次考试而全盘否定自己和自己的努力。第二，和乐观的人在一起；第三，和家长，同学，老师倾诉苦衷，排解烦恼。第四，参加运动，保持身心活跃和精力的充沛。

To keep a healthy mentality, firstly, I will rationally analyse my strengths and weaknesses, doing thorough self-reflection in each exam. That is, never will I allow a single failing score define my value and quality. Secondly, a heart to heart talk with parents or teachers will help me drain my negativity and inject the much-needed positivity. Thirdly, working out regularly will release my stress and ensure my physical and mental well-being. (71 words )
