Directions: Write an English composition in 120—150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.
人们常说“战胜自己，超越自我”。请你以“I only compete with myself”为题写一篇短文。叙述你生活或学习中的一件事，说明只有战胜了自己，超越了自己才有意义，才是真正意义上的成功。

答案

  In the real world, everyone wants to be splendid. Someone looks for a man of straw to catch up with, while others just compete with themselves. To me own, I certainly stand for the latter.
As a high school student, my main purpose is to get high marks and enter the dreaming university. I once locked on the number one student in our grade as my target object. But the result turned out to be far from satisfactory. Under greater and greater pressure, I just couldn’t bend my energy on studies and often made stupid mistakes. Hence, I stopped forcing myself and struggled to the very end just to be the best of me. What I required myself to achieve was not to be better than anyone else but to defeat the old one. And since then, I have performed better and made progress day by day.
So it is really useless setting unrealistic goals, since there is always someone who is either prettier or smarter than us. We might have kept chasing after others for a lifetime but finally found that we didn’t achieve anything. As the saying goes, “God only saves the man who saves himself.” and analogously, we only need to compete with ourselves. The sun will illuminate every corner of the land as long as we try to be the best of us.

解析

试题分析：考查半开放性作文。半开放性作文给出了一个话题，并有部分的文字提示。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。本文讨论的话题是“战胜自己，超越自我”，按照要求要夹叙夹议，通过自己的亲身经历进行阐述只有战胜了自己，超越了自己才有意义，才是真正意义上的成功。，要求考生在保证内容要点全部概括的基础上可以充分发挥自己的想象，进而用自己的语言来表达某种观点或看法，增添了写作的灵活性，同时能较好地考查考生的想象能力和英语语言表达能力。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。
点评：半开放性作文写作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。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。
