Answer 1

Some people may think that one who wants to achieve great success shouldn’t pay much attention to details. But sometimes it is the details that determine our success, for they may be the very thing that has a great impact on what we’re doing.
Since we have realized the importance of details, what should we do? First, we should form the habit of being careful, because a careful person will rarely overlook details. What’s more, we should learn to keep the balance of quantity and quality. We may find that when faced with lots of work, the faster we do it, the more mistakes we will make. Why? Because when we work at high speed, the only thing we care about is quantity in which case we are more likely to neglect the details.
As far as I’m concerned, we should keep it in mind that quality comes first, without which quantity is of no significance.

试题分析：本文是开放式作文，也是话题作文，要求考生根据英文提示，结合生活中的一个事例，根据所给的英语提示，写一篇话题作文。这种“开放式”的论述文的命题形式给考生很大的自由发挥空间，对写作的布局谋篇提出了较高要求，要求考生既要会发表观点认识，又要会进行描写叙述。这种写作命题有利于立体考查学生的语言知识、创新思维能力和价值观，具有较强的选拔功能。在写作中不要忘了用高级的词汇和复杂的句型表达，主要是学过的知识适当的运用，也要注意句与句的关联，使文章更连贯。
【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But sometimes it is the details that determine our success, for they may be the very thing that has a great impact on what we’re doing.这句话有强调句，宾语从句和定语从句，还有We may find that when faced with lots of work, the faster we do it, the more mistakes we will make.这句话运用了状语从句的省略和the more，the more这样的句型，we should keep it in mind that quality comes first, without which quantity is of no significance.这里用了it做形式宾语，文章还注意了句子的衔接如：first，What’s more, As far as I’m concerned,等等。
