參考范文
“Life is all about choices. How many people are trapped in their everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent? To have a better life we must keep choosing how we’re living.” The remark means that it’s up to you to choose how you’re living. 1
It’s absolutely true that life is all about choices. 2 You can choose a mediocre life. But unfortunately, a mediocre life leaves you trapped in everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent and you spend vainly the best days of your life achieving little. When you realize you should seize the day, it may come too late and leave regret. 3
As we all know, life is most precious to us and everyone lives only once. What will we do to make better choices in life? As far as I’m concerned, attitude is everything. Therefore, choose a positive attitude towards life, with which we don’t waste our youth in worthless pursuits. We will not regret if we don’t waste our life. 4
“生活處處是選擇。很多人陷入日常的生活習(xí)慣中：些許麻木，些許害怕，些許漠然。為了擁有更好的生活，我們必須不斷選擇如何生活?！边@番話是說(shuō)如何生活取決于你自己的選擇。
毋庸置疑，人生充滿選擇。你可以選擇一種平庸的生活。但不幸的是，平庸生活使你受困于日常的生活習(xí)慣，變得些許麻木，些許害怕，些許漠然，你虛度最好的時(shí)光，收獲寥寥。當(dāng)你意識(shí)到你應(yīng)把握今朝的時(shí)候，可能就悔之晚矣！
眾所周知，人生對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)是最珍貴的，每個(gè)人都只活一次。那么我們?cè)鯓訛槿松龀龈玫倪x擇呢？就我而言，態(tài)度決定一切。因此，選擇用積極的態(tài)度面對(duì)人生，不把青春浪費(fèi)在無(wú)用的追求上。如果我們沒(méi)有虛度光陰，我們就不會(huì)留下遺憾。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 開(kāi)篇簡(jiǎn)述給定話語(yǔ)的含義，結(jié)合話語(yǔ)含義給出文章論點(diǎn)：如何生活完全取決于自己的選擇。
2. 自然過(guò)渡，第二段引出生活充滿選擇，緊扣作文話題。
3. 第二段主體部分用反面論證的方式闡述選擇碌碌無(wú)為的生活只會(huì)給人留下悔恨。
4. 末段按照題目要求就如何選擇更好的生活給出了自己的看法并進(jìn)行論述。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. It’s absolutely true that life is all about choices.
It’s absolutely true that...意為“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)……”，是引出觀點(diǎn)的句式。
2. But unfortunately, a mediocre life leaves you trapped in everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent and you spend vainly the best of your days achieving little.
這里運(yùn)用了leave sb. done的結(jié)構(gòu)，這種結(jié)構(gòu)的使用使句子含義的表達(dá)更加緊湊。
