1.         讀寫(xiě)任務(wù)

閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)作文。

An elderly carpenter（木匠）was ready to retire. He told his employers of his plans to leave

he house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and children. His employer

was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal

favor. The carpenter said yes, but it was obvious that his heart was already not in his work. He

built it impatiently and used poor materials. It was unfortunate for a wonderful career to end

like that.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he

handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house. It's my gift to you."

The carpenter was shocked!

What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so

differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the

building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. Therefore,

build it wisely!

Answer 1

讀寫(xiě)任務(wù)：

   A carpenter felt regretful when he knew the last house he had built impatiently

was a gift for his retirement, which reminds us that we should build our life wisely.

   It is absolutely unwise of the carpenter to end up his career in this way. Treating

his last job carelessly made him lose not only a good house but also his fame as an

outstanding house builder.

   There is no doubt that we shouldn't treat our life as the carpenter did. A saying goes,

"How you treat life, and how life treats you! If we are unwilling to face or deal with

our life correctly, it will reward us nothing.

   Then how can we build our life wisely? It's fairly simple. The only answer is to

be serious. Only when you treat all the matters happening in your life seriously

can you learn and gain a lot, which is beneficial as well as wise.
