Answer 1

Last year, my school club was putting on a cosplay show on the campus, and I was given an important role. Thrilled as I was, I tried not to tell my family about what was going on, which was actually quite natural for a boy in his “rebellious period”.   After getting home from school, I went straight into my room and tried my costume on quietly. When I was making myself up, I got so concentrated that I didn’t hear my grandfather who was asking me to dinner. Much to my surprise, he suddenly opened my door and came in, and it didn’t take long for him to get totally shocked. For what seemed an eternity, the two of us stood in stunned silence, not knowing what to say. Imagine his dismay when he saw me dressed up like a madman!
We both tried to avoid each other later that day, and I could tell he was more than angry. Even my parents put some pressure on me. I didn’t know what to do at first, because I thought he was overreacting—I was just preparing for the show!
I got a little depressed for a while, but realizing it couldn’t solve the problem, I tried to help them understand what cosplay was all about. I didn’t go up close to my grandfather right away. Instead, I went to my parents first. With their support and help, my grandfather finally gave credit to what I was doing. After all, it’s communication that matters.

試題分析：考查半開放性作文。半開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。在完成開放性作文時，首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體。
【亮點說明】這篇范文用了一些常見的詞組：Much to my surprise“使我驚訝的是”, more than angry “非常生氣”，put some pressure on “給….施加壓力”， gave credit to“贊揚”，After all “畢竟”,還使用了高級的句型：Thrilled as I was, I tried not to tell my family about what was going on, which was actually quite natural for a boy in his “rebellious period”.這句話用了讓步狀語從句的倒裝句和定語從句， When I was making myself up, I got so concentrated that I didn’t hear my grandfather who was asking me to dinner. 這句話用了so…that…句型， For what seemed an eternity, the two of us stood in stunned silence, not knowing what to say.這句話用了賓語從句，非謂語動詞， I got a little depressed for a while, but realizing it couldn’t solve the problem, I tried to help them understand what cosplay was all about.這句話是動名詞做主語和賓語從句， it’s communication that matters.這句話是強調句。
