Answer 1

【答案】

 

One possible version:

Last year, my school club was putting on a cosplay show on the campus, and I was given an important role. Thrilled as I was, I tried not to tell my family about what was going on, which was actually quite natural for a boy in his “rebellious period”. After getting home from school, I went straight into my room and tried my costume on quietly. When I was making myself up, I got so concentrated that I didn’t hear my grandfather who was asking me to dinner. Much to my surprise, he suddenly opened my door and came in, and it didn’t take long for him to get totally shocked. For what seemed an eternity, the two of us stood in stunned silence, not knowing what to say. Imagine his dismay when he saw me dressed up like a madman!

We both tried to avoid each other later that day, and I could tell he was more than angry. Even my parents put some pressure on me. I didn’t know what to do at first, because I thought he was overreacting—I was just preparing for the show!

I got a little depressed for a while, but realizing it couldn’t solve the problem, I tried to help them understand what cosplay was all about. I didn’t go up close to my grandfather right away. Instead, I went to my parents first. With their support and help, my grandfather finally gave credit to what I was doing. After all, it’s communication that matters.

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要提及的是“代沟”的话题，这一话题是很多人都很熟悉的。考生可以用自己身边发生的事情来距离说明“generation gap”的存在。如“快闪”。在举例的时候可以使用一般过去时，第一人称等。要灵活运用。要点：1. 你的这次被误解的具体经历；2、你当时的心情； 3、你如何向长辈解释清楚你的“古怪”行为。

    写作时充分发挥自己的想象力，灵活运用英语知识，采用不同的表达方式将各要点完整地表述出来，注意主次分明，详略得当。语言力求准确、简洁。根据情景的发展，按顺序安排好材料。同时应选用合适的连接词或过渡词，使文章具有一定的连贯性。考生必须认真查验是否有漏写情况，有无拼写错误及标点误用等

【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如put on，make up，to one’s surprise，it takes sb. some time to do，dress up，put pressure on sb.，prepare for，solve the problem，get up close to；还运用高级词汇concentrate，eternity，stunned silence，overreacting，credit等等，高级句型which引导的非限定性定语从句，非谓语动词作状语。并注意了句子的衔接如：after，when，so … that …，because等等。
