But he refuse, he finds it very hard to wash clothes. Finally, he finishes washing all the clothes and hangs them on a line. When his mother comes back, he is praised by his mother. He feels very happy.
From this story, we learn that our parents do everything for us; they are very busy. Sometimes, we can do something to help them a little.
[失分点]
这篇作文审题错误，题目中要求“你”是图中的男孩，因此全文必须以第一人称写，而不能用其他人称。另外，写夹叙夹议类作文时，前面一般要讲一个故事，而不能是对图画本身进行描述。以上两点是全文的失误。
高分作文 （第一档，15分）
Last Saturday morning, I saw my mother was getting ready to wash some clothes when 1 I was about to go out with my football. I thought, “ How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.” So I decided to give up my plan and to help mum with the washing. I began to wash the clothes when my mum was away doing some shopping. 2 While I was washing, my friend Tim came to invite me to play football. I refused and continued washing. It was hard work for me, for I had seldom done such housework. After about two hours, I finished all the washing and hung all the clothes on a line. Later, 3 mum came back from shopping. When she saw what I had done, she was so pleased that she praised me. I felt proud of myself, too.
I think our parents are working hard for us, and we should do what we can to help in return.4
[得分点]
1． When 在句中表示“正在那时”。如果不用when连接，写成两个简单句，也不是不可以，
但不如文中的写法好。
高分要决：找到两个句子的关系，然后用相应的词或短语把它们连接起来，就可以写出并列句、复合句。
2． Mum去干什么，图画中看不出来，要凭自己的想象写。问中的想象是合理的，并和后面
的come back from shopping 照应。
高分要决：如果只凭图画中的情况来讲故事，有时情节不好展开，所以要凭自己的想象添加一些合理的细节。
3． Later 和前面的after about two hours 都是表示时间推移的词。
高分要决：在讲述故事时，later, then, after that, two hours later 等作时间状语的词是最常见的连接词。文中有了这些词， 句与句之间就很连贯。
4． 用 I think--- 说明自己的感想，符合题意
高分要决：夹叙夹议类作文在最后一般都要说明自己的感想或看法，而一般记叙类作文只需在结尾时说明故事的结果即可，无需谈自己对这件事的看法或感想。

There was once a farmer who worked very hard every day. One day when he was hoeing in the sunshine, he suddenly heard a low sound “Peng”. He found a rabbit dead by the tree, so he took hold of the rabbit excitedly and had an idea that it was so easy to get a rabbit without any hard work. So he dropped off his hoe and waited there for more rabbits bumping into the tree. But day after day, there were no more rabbits coming, and what was worse, all his crops were dead.
This story tells us that we should not wait for unexpected gains by chance and luck. Or, we should not hope to get rewards without hard work.

There was once a farmer who worked very hard every day. One day when he was hoeing in the sunshine, he suddenly heard a low sound “Peng!”. He turned and hurried to the tree. He found a rabbit dying. He took hold of the rabbit and was excited. “What a rabbit! I’ll have it for dinner!” Then he had a good idea, “Why can’t I wait for more rabbits here? It’s cool under the tree.” So he dropped off his hoe and waited there. But day after day, there were no more rabbits coming. What was worse, all his crops were dead.
The story tells us that if you want to get something, you must work hard for it. Remember, “No pains, no gains!”

解析：表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的
正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。

I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon‘s scolding would end with their into tears, I realized I needed to my methods of ―mothering‖.
One day while they were at school, I had great fun their rooms. On their desks, in plain ―Dear Bill (the other card was to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I‘m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy. ‖ arriving back, the children were excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy for them, thanking them for their nice ―gift‖ of a clean room and asking them to play a certain violin Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little : ―If you can finish your homework today and it before dinner, I‘ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight. ‖ Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in .
I can‘t remember how long ―the House Fairy‖ continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
