Growing up is optional
Everyone will grow old，but it is never too late to achieve a dream．         

Answer 1

分析 高分句型一：Rose，a respectable granny，sets us a positive example of how people can manage to be all that  they can possibly be．
此句里使用一個that  they can…定語從句，修飾先行詞all；
高分句型二：People usually don't have regrets for what they have done，but rather for things they have not done．
此句里使用what they have…作為for的賓語從句； they have not done也是一個定語從句，修飾先行詞things．
整篇文章里還有一些固定短語，如：sets us a positive example； seizing the opportunity；
銜接過渡詞和短語：From my point of view；Instead；above all；Once

解答 Everyone will grow old，but it is never too late to achieve a dream．People do not stop dreaming because they are old．They grow old because they stop dreaming．
 Rose，a respectable granny，高分句型一①sets us a positive example of how people can manage to be all that  they can possibly be．At the age of 87，Rose finished the college degree she had begun years before．One week after graduation she died peacefully in her sleep．Her story illustrates that there is a huge difference between growing older and growing up．高分句型二②People usually don't have regrets for what they have done，but rather for things they have not done．
   （自己的觀點）From my point of view，growing up is optional．We don't have to be afraid of going slowly．（觀點一） Instead，we must be afraid of standing still．We should grow up by always seizing the opportunity to change．But above all，（觀點二）we must have goals．Once the goals are set，we need to work towards them until they are reached．

點評 該書面表達為圖表類，通常都有一定的數(shù)據(jù)或者表格內(nèi)容作為寫作參考和依據(jù)．考生應細致觀察圖表內(nèi)容，用準確的、簡單明了的語言將圖表內(nèi)容表達清楚．另外，平時應注意積累相應短語和詞匯，以使得行文有更多的亮點．
