Question

【題目】請閱讀下列材料，并按要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

There are few habits as annoying as someone making us wait. However, some punctually-challenged people have no intention of offending anyone. They still want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. They are often painfully aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.

Johnson, a doctor in New York, says his reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be attributed to a misunderstanding of opinion. "A friend will ask me to come over, and he'll say ‘come anytime from seven.’But if I do turn up at eight or later, he will be annoyed."

Joanna a teacher in London, for whom the most distressing thing is writing school reports, never makes the deadline for herself. "I always spend weeks carefully considering everything about the reports,"she says,"just for fear that any error arises."

【寫作內(nèi)容】

1.用約30個單詞為以上材料撰寫概要；

2.用約120個單詞發(fā)表你的觀點(diǎn)，內(nèi)容包括：

（1）退到帶來的不良影響（至少兩點(diǎn)）；

（2）給Johnson和Joanna提出你的建議，至少兩條。

【寫作要求】

1.寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句；

2.作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱；

3.不必寫標(biāo)題。

Answer 1

【答案】One possible version:

Different countries adopt different tolerance towards one's lateness. Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others' opinions or pay too much attention to details.

As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one's daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.

As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.

【解析】首先要認(rèn)真閱讀前面的英文提示和漢語提示，認(rèn)真審題，確定文章的中心，用最簡練的語言概括文章的大意。然后再根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)。內(nèi)容包括：（1）遲到帶來的不良影響（至少兩點(diǎn)）；（2）給Johnson和Joanna提出你的建議，至少兩條。寫作過程中可以發(fā)表個人觀點(diǎn)，但必須提供理由或論據(jù)；闡述觀點(diǎn)或提供論據(jù)時，不能直接引用原文語句，一定要用自己的語言、正確的英語把給出的要點(diǎn)準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)出來。寫作時注意準(zhǔn)確運(yùn)用時態(tài)，上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關(guān)系，盡量使用自己熟悉的單詞句式，同時也要注意使用高級詞匯和高級句型使文章顯得更有檔次。特別注意在選擇句式時要富有變化。要注意書寫，認(rèn)真查驗(yàn)是否有漏寫情況等。

寫作亮點(diǎn)：本篇條理清楚，要點(diǎn)全面，結(jié)構(gòu)連貫。其句式上的變化既使得文章生動而流暢，也體現(xiàn)了作者駕馭句式的能力。例如：文章運(yùn)用了定語從句As we all know,和who have made the appointment with them.Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise.等。
