正确答案
Nowadays, people are leading a much busier life than ever. 1Life balance, or balance between work and leisure, which everyone is pursuing, seems to be a paradox. On one hand, people are constantly working overtime, 2hoping to earn more money. They analyze and handle various data and, in the meantime, communicate in different fashions. On the other hand, however, they wish to spend more quality time with their family members and chat with their friends after work. In addition, some of them hope to travel around the world 3desperately or develop some relaxing hobbies in their spare time.As far as I am concerned, 4both work and leisure are indispensable in our daily life. 5It is obvious that no one can earn any money without work. And without money, one can’t feed himself, 6let alone enjoy his leisure time. In other words, work is the foundation of leisure. 7Nevertheless, as the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Everyone should cultivate some positive hobbies of their own. 8Whether meeting friends once in a while in a club or playing bowling on a weekly basis, these extracurricular activities can relieve people of their anxiety during work, 9thus helping them function in a more energetic and dynamic way in the next day’s work. Besides, spending quality time with their folks is conducive to the harmony of the family, as well as our society.In conclusion, work hard and play hard! The most important thing is to keep a balance between work and life. 10Only in this way can our life be enriching and rewarding, and our society harmonious.

考查方向
解题思路
1. 这是一篇说明文体裁的文章。主要人称是第一人称，基本时态以一般现在时为主。
2.首先是讲述学校学生会将举办一次题为"LIFE BALANCE"的征文活动，第二段是具体内容，解读图片内容，最后 简单阐述你的观点。同学们基本上只要列举几个做法即可。一方面，要注意文章结构，如Firstly, secondly, last but not least等可以让文章成为一个整体，更为流畅。另一方面，还要注意语言的得体性，如文章可以用，用同位语balance between work and leisure解释life balance的具体内涵；
二：hoping to earn more money，现在分词做伴随状语。
三：desperately一词表现出对旅行的渴望。
四：both work and leisure are indispensable in our daily life一句话表明自己的观点，indispensable一词比较高级，译为“不可或缺的”。
五：It is obvious that …主语从句。
六：let alone…译为“更不用说……”。
七：Nevertheless, as the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.一句中，用nevertheless表示转折，从work的重要性转到leisure的重要性；后面使用一句谚语，更加生动形象。
八：Whether … or …引导让步状语从句，meeting friends once in a while in a club与playing bowling on a weekly basis前后结构平衡。
九：thus helping …现在分词做结果状语，简洁明了。
十：only + 状语位于句首用部分倒装，enriching和rewarding两个词运用生动准确。
3. 参考词汇和短语；Firstly, secondly, last but not least等可以让文章成为一个整体，更为流畅。I hope, suggest doing, it is a good idea to do , l look forward to doing 等使句式多样，语气委婉。
