One Person I’m Grateful to

Answer 1

One possible version:
We are supposed to be grateful to people who are always there with us because they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
My English teacher is such a great soul, to whom I owe many thanks. During the previous study, my biggest flaw must come to carelessness, which worried me a lot. To make matters worse, I was too anxious to seek the fundamental reason for my failure. I just dedicated myself to huge amounts of practice, regardless of repeated mistakes. Fortunately, my teacher noticed it and offered to have a long talk with me. Having been persuaded to change my attitude, I finally got the right way to rid myself of carelessness and gained confidence as well.
I am grateful to my English teacher for all the support he has given me, which has made me stronger and a better person.

试题分析：本文主语开放性的作文，话题是“One person I’m grateful to”。这个人可以是现实中的人也可以是文学作品中某个人物。考生可以叙述身边人物的具体事例来说明自己感激的人的具体品质。在范文中，作者选择了自己的英语老师为例。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，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
【亮点说明】本文最大的亮点在于高级词汇的使用，如be supposed to do sth应该做某事； dedicate oneself to….专心于…；regardless of不管，不顾…；gain confidence赢得自信；高级句式的使用也较为频繁，如which worried me a lot.中的which引导的是非限制性定语从句。以及Having been persuaded to change my attitude, I finally got the right way to rid myself of carelessness and gained confidence as well.中的非谓语动词having been persuaded…用法。
