Answer 1

One possible version
Many parents hire nurses to take care of their children, some schools put up countdown boards in the classrooms and every day before the first class in the morning or afternoon teachers shout encouraging slogans together with their students.
Some people are in favour of these measures, saying that they will keep up the students’ fighting spirits and help them achieve success in their final exams. Others think differently. They believe students can only perform their best when they are not stressful.
As a Senior 3 student, I understand why schools and parents behave the ways they do, but the more you hurry, the less progress you are likely to make. Only by being happy and confident can we eventually work miracles.

试题分析：这是一篇议论文，文章是讨论很多高考生家长为孩子请来高考保姆，学校挂高考倒计时牌，每天上午、下午第一节课前，由老师带领全班学生喊口号这一现象的优缺点，这种文章一般层次比较清晰，有总述；优点和缺点的论述，以及自己观点。有难度的是，这篇文章只是给了大概的框架，没有具体的要点，要求在列举双方依据时要尽量使语言多样化；自我观点表达时要有正确的判断，要有辩证的思维。一篇文章需要有正确的句子才能明了清晰的表达作者的意思。考生应明白高考书面表达题既不是汉译英，也不是可任意发挥的作文。它要求的是将所规定的材料内容经整理后展开思维，考查运用所学英语知识准确地表达意思的能力。考生应该用自己最熟悉、最有把握的词、短语及句式，按一定的逻辑顺序和意义层次完成短文，划分好文章的自然段落，注意段落之间的发展和连贯。尽量使用不同长度的句子，使句型多样化。适当使用连词，使句子间的衔接自然流畅。
【亮点说明】Some people are in favour of these measures, saying that they will keep up the students’ fighting spirits and help them achieve success in their final exams. 这句话用了现在分词做状语， They believe students can only perform their best when they are not stressful.这句话有宾语从句和状语从句， As a Senior 3 student, I understand why schools and parents behave the ways they do,这句话里面是有定语从句， but the more you hurry, the less progress you are likely to make.这句话用了the+比较级，the+比较级…的句型， Only by being happy and confident can we eventually work miracles.这句话用的是倒装句。
