Answer 1

Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always availabe. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.
My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are.

试题分析：本文只是给出了一个提示：你无法选择别人给你的事物，的是你可以选择你如何使用它们的方式。属于开放性作文。对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。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。
要点：1.列举实例来说明重要的是我们利用别人所给事物的方法更为重要，可以使用身边发生的事情。2.表示自己的观点。如：无论以后发生什么事情，我们都要冷静，并仔细选择合适的方法。
【亮点说明】范文中对于连接词的使用非常到位，如besides等；另外句中的高级句式，如Disappointed as I felt….;whenever I had difficulties….；It is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are。
