Question

阅读下面的短文, 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.
In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions.
Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than at any other time of the day. If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, we can build our bodies and become much healthier.
Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. However, if we get up late, we’ll probably have to do everything in a great hurry.
Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.

Answer 1

Better Early than Late
The passage tells us that getting up early in the morning is a good habit that will benefit us a lot. It enables us to have a better memory, healthier body and better preparation for the day.
I totally agree with the author. Just like many of my friends, I’m an early bird. I benefit a lot from the habit of getting up early. After getting up early in the morning， I have enough time to make a plan for the work of the day and do it more effectively. If getting up too late, I will feel great pressure and usually can’t finish my work on time.
My parents are pleased with my good habit. Also they think I’d better take up some physical exercise in the morning. I think that’s a good idea. After all, morning exercise can help us keep healthy.
So, let’s get up early to have a healthier and better life.

试题分析：考查议论文写作。首先简要叙述了过去人们中普遍存在的一种说法，早睡早起身体好。在接下来详细描述了你对这种做法的观点和理由，可以是支持也可以是反对，以及你的父母是如何看待，也可以表示支持或者反对。最后叙述你对他们的观点的看法。
点评：本文题型是考生分词熟悉的正反观点类的议论文，在平时的练习中也有相应的模板。审题时注意本文使用一般现在时，人称以第三人称为主，发表个人意见时使用第一人称。如for one thing, for another; besides, firstly, secondly, last but not least等。也要使用一些高级的词汇词组如 be supposed to do sth, benefit 等以提升文章的档次分。在文章中可以适当使用一至两句谚语如：Every coin has two sides等可以大大提高文章的文采，提高获得高分的可能性。
