Answer 1

Possible version
I’d like to tell you something about the changes that have taken place in my studies. Before the learning load was reduced, I used to have classes at weekends and do endless homework till 11:30 at night. I was exhausted as most of Chinese students were.
Things have changed now, however. With less learning load, I have much more time to do other things such as visiting museums, attending computer classes, and learning drawing. In the evening, I read books and newspapers and watch TV. Although I do not have so many classes and so much homework compared with the past, I have learned much more, which are never taught in textbooks.
In short, I am quite satisfied with my life now.

解析试题分析：本文属于半开放性的作文，要求考生描述减负前后的情况。可以描述减负之前的学习情况如学习时间长，负担重，疲惫不堪。减负以后有了很多自己支配的时间，学习的负担也有所减轻，可以学习一些额外的技能，家庭作业减少了，但是自己学习的东西却更多了。
