OG官方满分范文(OG 123)
Prompt: Some people believe that there is only one foolproof plan, perfect solution, or correct interpretation. But nothing is ever that simple. For better or worse, for every so-called final answer there is another way of seeing things. There is always a “however”.
Assignment: Is there always another explanation or another point of view? (OG 119)
Sample Essay:
There is always a “however”. Each situation has its benefits and its drawbacks. In the field of market finance, we find a compelling example that supports this thesis.
The Roaring Twenties was a decade during which the American economy saw a rapid boom. In fact, America’s bull markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange had become so financially inviting by 1927 that even America’s middle class poured its money into America’s financial forums. Unfortunately, on October 4, 1929 the Booming Twenties came to an abrupt when the New York Stock Exchange crashed.
The Crash had many negative consequences. Most notably, the stock market crash of 1929 launched America into the Great Depression, a time of starvation and unemployment for millions of American citizens. The widespread optimism of the 1920’s quickly turned into an almost suicidal pessimism. Indeed, the Great Depression represents a crippling consequence of the stock market crash of 1929.
However, Franklin Delano Roosevelt established institutions and regulations to prevent future economic catastrophes. Cognizant of the Crash’s causes, such as fool corruption, overpriced stock values, and margin buying, Roosevelt implemented the Social Security Act, the FDIC, and stricter rules monitoring credit. His aggressive policies not only ameliorated the uncomfortable climate for the Great Depression, but also laid the groundwork for a safer, more successful economy.
The American public also realized the many positive results of the stock market crash of 1929. In particular, American citizens now have an entirely different fiscal outlook from the one they had before the Crash. Speculators have proven to be more prudent and insightful, as they often research market trends before investing. Perhaps most importantly, American investors are not as easily swayed by popular optimism and eager advertisement.
While the stock market crash of 1929 was the embryo of the Great Depression, the Crash also set the foundation for a sounder economy. If we recognize the good and the bad of the Crash, we are destined to make fewer economic mistakes.

第五,文章句式多样,长短句结合的很好。纵观全文,除了简单句以外,共用到了以下句型:

【注 意】这篇文章里还用到了很多高级词汇,如crippling, ameliorate, halt, aggressive等等,但这并不是文章的得分点,而是为文章增加了亮点,可以给考官留下好印象。其实,评分规则中并没有要求考生要使用高级词汇,所以 考生不需要强求自己使用。往往很多考生想使用高级词汇,但因为不懂其用法而经常用错,导致弄巧成拙,反而给考官留下坏印象。因此,考生可以不用强求自己使 用高级词汇,如果非要使用,一定要在懂得用法的情况下再使用。
