Question

“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.

“How old are you?” asked the teacher.

“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.

“Then you have just lost eight years,”the teacher replied.

There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age. When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.

Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life. The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others. Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others. If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.

It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit. We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character. Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river. The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.

Answer 1

The author tells us that habits are formed when we are young and we should try to develop good habits, for they benefit us in our daily life and help us shape our character.

I can’t agree more with the author. Cultivating a good habit can not only shape our character, increase our inner beauty but also influence those people around you. Therefore, I think it is of great significance to form a good habit.

As for me, I benefit a lot from my good habits like getting up early to speak English aloud, reviewing and previewing lessons before going to bed every day. In the past, I didn’t dare to speak English before others because of my poor pronunciation and I also did badly in my English tests. Thanks to my good habits, however, I have been making progress in my English study. Now I am proud of my speaking and writing in English.

Then how can we form a good habit? First of all, you should be determined to fight against your laziness. Once you make up your mind to do something, never give up easily. Then, you have to be confident, believing that you can become a better person. Last but not least, keep pushing yourself. It may take a long period for you to form a good habit but remember it is perseverance that makes you successful!

【解析】

試題分析：本試題沒有給定具體題目，但是按照題目要求，是要首先來對(duì)前面的那個(gè)小故事進(jìn)行一個(gè)概括。其次，還要根據(jù)自己的親身經(jīng)歷和自己身上所擁有的好習(xí)慣來進(jìn)行闡述，同時(shí)還要表明自己的觀點(diǎn)，要怎么樣才能養(yǎng)成一個(gè)好習(xí)慣。同時(shí)也要提到自己的好習(xí)慣是如何對(duì)自己的日常生活進(jìn)行影響的。

亮點(diǎn)分析：本文抓住了中心和重點(diǎn)，首先按照題目的要求對(duì)前面的文章進(jìn)行了一個(gè)概括。后面再提出自己的觀點(diǎn)，有自己親身的經(jīng)歷和好習(xí)慣對(duì)自己的影響來展開。運(yùn)用了較多的短語如can’t agree more with; As for me;not only but also ;Thanks to 等來連接顯示了作者扎實(shí)的基本功。最后的First of all, Last but not least使得本文更具有邏輯性。運(yùn)用了強(qiáng)調(diào)句型如it is perseverance that makes you successful來為本文增色。本文作者通條理清晰，觀點(diǎn)明確，運(yùn)用較多的詞匯，體現(xiàn)了作者深厚的寫作功底。問題說明：本文雖然運(yùn)用的特色詞匯較多，但是句式過于單一，所以建議能夠添加一些復(fù)合句，還能加一些定語從句或者倒裝句來增色例如Only if you have a good habit ,can you manage your life more easily；a good habit is like a bright light which can lead you to go to a right way.

考點(diǎn)：論述性文章寫作。
