Passage: 《雨后的校园》

清晨，一场大雨过后，校园里焕然一新。树叶上挂满了晶莹的水珠，在阳光的照射下闪闪发亮，仿佛无数颗小钻石点缀在枝头。操场上的积水倒映着蓝天白云，宛如一面巨大的镜子。

同学们陆续走进校园。小明蹲在花坛边，仔细观察一只蜗牛正沿着湿漉漉的叶片缓缓爬行。他忍不住伸手轻轻碰了一下蜗牛的触角，蜗牛立刻缩回了壳里。小明笑了，心想："原来蜗牛也怕陌生人啊！"

教室里，李老师正在黑板上写下今天的作文题目——《雨后》。她转过身来，对同学们说："写作文不只是描写景色，更重要的是写出你内心的感受。雨后给你的感觉是什么？是清新的空气带来的舒畅，还是看到彩虹时的惊喜？请大家用心去感受，用笔去表达。"

小红坐在窗边，望着窗外被雨水洗刷得格外翠绿的梧桐树，陷入了沉思。她想起了奶奶常说的一句话："雨过天晴，总会有希望。"是啊，每一次风雨过后，不都会有新的开始吗？

下课铃响了，同学们纷纷跑到操场上。小华惊喜地发现，操场边的墙角处长出了一朵不知名的小花。它在雨后悄悄地绽放了，虽然很小，却显得格外坚强。小华蹲下来看了很久，心中涌起一股莫名的感动。

Exemplar Response (Topic A — for reference):

我同意"失败是成功之母"这个说法。每一次失败都是一次学习的机会，只要我们不放弃，从失败中吸取教训，最终一定能取得成功。

爱迪生发明电灯时，尝试了上千种材料，经历了无数次失败。但他从未放弃，而是把每一次失败都当作排除错误选项的过程。最终，他成功找到了合适的灯丝材料，发明了电灯。如果他在第一次失败后就放弃，人类可能还要在黑暗中摸索很多年。

我自己也有类似的经历。三年级时，我参加学校的演讲比赛，因为紧张忘词，在台上愣住了，结果没有获奖。那次失败让我非常难过，但我没有因此放弃。之后我每天对着镜子练习，还请妈妈当听众给我提意见。第二年，我再次参加演讲比赛，这次我获得了二等奖。正是第一次的失败让我认识到了自己的不足，也激励我更加努力。

所以说，失败并不可怕，可怕的是在失败面前低头。只要我们勇于面对失败，善于从失败中学习，失败就会成为通往成功的阶梯。

Common Mistakes to Flag:

• Students who only narrate a story without stating a clear viewpoint lose marks in Content.
• Students who write fewer than 200 characters lose 1-2 marks in Handwriting & Length.
• Students who do not organise their writing into clear paragraphs lose marks in Organisation.
