Answer 1

Most Chinese people are quite familiar with the story of "The three wolves cries". We taught to be honest when we were very young.
However, as we grow up, we find that it is difficult to be honest all the time. Sometimes, we are forced to tell lies, and other times, we find people who are dishonest can enjoy great pleasures, while honest people have to suffer failures. And still there are times when we have to tell lies in order not to hurt others. Consequently, people wonder whether honesty is going out of style.
As far as I'm concerned, honesty should always be an important feature valued by Chinese people. We should try our best to avoid telling lies (even white lies). Only in this way, is a fair society awaiting us.

试题分析：本文属于开放性作文，只给出一个话题，要求考生根据自己的感受组织出要点，再用英语表达。首先我们要表达出诚实是一种非常重要的品质，我们要特别重视。现在或者未来这个品质都很重要，不诚实的人一定会遭受失败。在现实生活中我们要避免说谎，只有这样我们的社会才会是一个和谐的社会。
点评：本文对考生来说有一定的挑战性，因为要点完全要靠自己来组织梳理。考生的思维量较大，组织的难度也较大。组织好要点以后，一定要认真分析，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。
