Answer 1

Life is like a spice, where you can taste all sorts of flavour. You can not only experience happiness but also bitterness. Whatever life has given you or you have experienced, believe life is wonderful. Even though you may get frustrated, don’t lose heart. Work hard, deal with the problems and try again, you will see something beautiful before you. It’s just like a rainy day when sometimes we feel annoyed, but we are always looking forward to the fresh air or a colourful rainbow when the rain stops. We should be grateful because we have benefited a lot from life itself. So love life and believe in yourself. There is no doubt that something nice is out there, maybe just over the horizon.

试题分析：考查开放性作文。开放性作文给出了一个话题，并有部分的文字提示。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。在完成开放性作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体。
【亮点说明】范文有很多高级的词组：not only …. but also“不但…而且…”， lose heart灰心，looking forward to 渴望，believe in 信任，文章还使用了一些好的句型：Life is like a spice, where you can taste all sorts of flavour. 这句话用了定语从句，Whatever life has given you or you have experienced, believe life is wonderful. 这句话用了让步状语从句， There is no doubt that something nice is out there, maybe just over the horizon.这句话用了固定句型。
