Answer 1

One possible version:
A recent survey shows most students often communicate with their parents, but there are still some who think it embarrassing to share their ideas with them.
Actually everyone should attach importance to family communication. It can strengthen the bond of the whole family and bridge the gap between children and parents. Besides, sharing your personal problems and emotions will greatly help reduce the pressure on you and build up your confidence.
As for my family, we have a special dinner together every Saturday evening, over which everyone present takes turns to share one problem while the others try to suggest solutions. In this way the whole family can enjoy every single bit of life. I think my family will stick to the tradition forever.   

试题分析：考查了半开放性作文，本文作者只是提出了一个话题：与父母交流。只给出了一小部分的文字提示，大部分的要点需要考生自己梳理，可以从与父母交流的重要性以及以后自己打算怎么做这几方面入手写作。考生需要使用合适的连接词把各要点联系成文。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。在文章红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。
点评：本文属于半开放性作文，动笔前，一定要认真分析要点，理解要点要表达的含义，不能遗漏要点，跑题偏题。平时除了加强词汇积累，写作联系以外，还可以适当记忆一些类似的范文，这样在考试中可以起到事半功倍的效果。
