[写作要求]
可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点, 也可以参照课文的内容, 但不得直接引用课文中的句子。 Captain Bligh’s journey across the Pacific Oceans lasted over 40 days. Despite lack of food and water, he kept his followers occupied to take their minds off troubles. Finally they arrived at Timor successfully and they were honored as heroes.
I was moved by the story of Captain Bligh, which shows that one man’s spirit, and his determination should not be defeated by circumstances. Personally, I think hardships cannot defeat us if we never give up.
Hardship is a necessary part of our daily life. Perseverance can help us out of our hardships and difficulties. Take me as an example, when I was in Senior One, I failed to learn English well. My English teacher encouraged me never to lose heart and give up my English. And later, with the help of my English teacher and my persistent efforts, I made great progress in English.
In fact, everyone must face up to some hardships and pains because life, as it really is, is always filled with sorrows and joys. Don’t lose heart when meeting with difficulties. Just take it easy and try every means to work them out. Life will eventually give you much in return for a big heart.例句: The experts are exploring every part of the island. 专家们正在勘查这个岛的各个部分。

the oceans before latitude and longitude made it possible to plot a ship’s position on a map. 在经纬度未能绘出航船在地图上的位置之前, 我们很想知道航海员是怎样在海上探险的。(P12, Para 1)
结构分析:句中how引导一个宾语从句, before引导一个状语从句。在made it possible to plot...中,it为形式宾语, to plot...为真正的宾语。2. You could not imagine a more disturbing sight than what we looked like when arriving in Timor over forty days after being set loose in our small boat. 在小船漂泊四十天到达帝汶岛时, 你想象不出比我们看上去更令人不安的景象。(P18, Para5)结构分析: 句中what we looked like句中“when arriving...”和“after being...”是“连词+现在分词短语”, 在句子中作时间状语。
