作为高中生，无论生活上还是学习上，你或多或少都会有压力。想想你的压力是什么？是什么造成了你的这些压力？你是如何应对这些压力的？

Answer 1

One possible version:
As is known to all, the high school curriculum is becoming increasingly tight-scheduled and pressuring. I often feel constantly stressed and worried, especially when taking an exam. I can’t eat well, or sleep well. Because I am anxious to study in a famous university. 
There are some methods I have tried. A large number of physical activities can reduce my anxiety. Sharing stress with my friends can be enormously helpful. Making time for fun such as listening to music may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is an efficient way to release stress.
What’s more, reading novels or watching some TV programs can help me reduce my stress as well. However, playing computer games is not recommended. In my opinion, students should relax via beneficial and productive means.

试题分析：本文是篇材料作文，材料非常简单，学生很容易把握写作要求和写作目的。考生在写作之前必修认真审题，首先要注意文章的时态，要求是对学生学习生活中存在的压力现象，所以要用一般现在时为主。要求谈谈你的压力是什么、造成了这些压力原因以及你是如何应对这些压力的，因此本文必须用第一人称。再有就是不能根据材料逐字逐句的翻译应该注意句子的衔接，以提高作文的档次。
【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如，As is known to all, a large number of，还运用了It is  adj  for sb to do sth;等等。并注意了句子的衔接如：especially，such as,What’s more 等等。
