Question

【题目】请阅读下列材料，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

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."

【写作内容】

1.用约30个单词为以上材料撰写概要；

2.用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：

（1）退到带来的不良影响（至少两点）；

（2）给Johnson和Joanna提出你的建议，至少两条。

【写作要求】

1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；

2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；

3.不必写标题。

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】首先要认真阅读前面的英文提示和汉语提示，认真审题，确定文章的中心，用最简练的语言概括文章的大意。然后再根据文章内容发表自己的观点。内容包括：（1）迟到带来的不良影响（至少两点）；（2）给Johnson和Joanna提出你的建议，至少两条。写作过程中可以发表个人观点，但必须提供理由或论据；阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句，一定要用自己的语言、正确的英语把给出的要点准确表达出来。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要富有变化。要注意书写，认真查验是否有漏写情况等。

写作亮点：本篇条理清楚，要点全面，结构连贯。其句式上的变化既使得文章生动而流畅，也体现了作者驾驭句式的能力。例如：文章运用了定语从句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。
