success.解析：这是一篇限制性提纲作文。由于已经给出了写作主题和

段落模式，所以必须紧扣标题，严格遵守提纲，达到规定字数。构思时

结构一定要清晰，建议使用四段式，第一段综述，第二、三段分述，第

四段做总结，二、三段是重点。可将提纲中的两点作为第二段和第三段

的主题句，但不要逐字翻译，然后再找2-3个与主题相关的素材展开说

明。另外还需注意：①写好第一句话。这样容易给阅卷者留下一个好印

象，最好能用上一个漂亮的复合句，里面再用上2—3个难的单词或词

组，但不能出错。②在写作时尽量多用长句，少用短句，适当加入几个

结构较复杂的句子。可多用连接性的词组或单词，如first,second,

moreover,foronething...fbranother,ontheonehand...ontheotherhand

等等。可以把它们置于段首或文中比较显著的位置，这样会使文章更具

条理性。③注意结尾的时候要点题，把自己的观点明确说出来。文章不

要写得太长，这样容易引起阅卷者的反感，达到字数就可以了。④如有

可能，适当加上一两句名言或是谚语，以显示你的水平。最后要注意没

有语法错误，并保持卷面干净整洁。

本文可以这样写：首先第一段介绍在生活和工作节奏不断加快的今天，

人们会碰到各种各样的个人危机，如：工作事业上的，婚恋家庭上的，

人际关系上的等等，■第二段则按照提纲中的第十点重点分析造成个人危

机的起因，主要有自身处理事物能力不足，外部环境较为不利，以及运

气不佳等等；第三段则根据提纲中第二点提出应对个人危机的方法，要

根据第二段中的起因来提应对方法，可以写需要个人有坚强的意志毅力

和不懈的努力奋斗，积极改善外部环境，善于抓住机遇；第四段可以适

当

发挥，进——步阐明自己的观点，并提出希望。

当然，也可以按照提纲就写两段，只要说清问题即可。

及布局。根据提纲，这篇作文的三段内容可以概括为是什么、为什么和

怎么办。第一段介绍什么是“空巢老人”；第二段阐述“空巢老人”人数日

益增加的原因。原因肯定是多方面的，有的可能是子女和父母由于各种

原因不能在一起生活，有的可能是父母不愿意给子女的生活添麻烦等等；

第三段阐述如何处理这种问题。“空巢老人”长期独居，容易感到孤独和

沮丧。因此，要想办法尽量排除他们的这些消极情绪。政府、社区、子

女和老人自己都应该做出努力，共同解决这个问题。②语言。第一段说

明现象时，语言要精练；第二段陈述原因和第三段阐述解决措施时，要

使用一些表示顺序的关联词，从而使文章一目了然。

审题及布局。这篇作文主要探讨大学毕业生是否应该考研的问题。题目

要求阐明两种对立的观点后提出自己的看法及理由。在布局上，根据题

目中给出的提纲展开即可.第一段介绍“考研是毕业生最好的出路”这一

观点；第二段指出也有人持不同意见，列举其理由；第三段在权衡上述

观点后明确表达自己选择何种态度，并分条目列举理由，注意层次清晰，

论证有力。最后重申观点，结束全文。②语言。本文涉及对立观点的陈

述与取舍，语言需概括、简洁地表明双方立场，用词要鲜明准确，层次

分明。作为议论文，本文使用一般现在时即可，谈及考研对大学生未来

发展的影响时可使用一般将来时。

11.BeingshelteredfromtheworldBeingshelteredfromtheworld解析：本
