Most people think that procrastination (拖延症) is a negative habit.But people like me, who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done.
I’m the only procrastinator in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now”gift.They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline.Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought.
At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment,my teacher Mr.Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety- -but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks.

一、试题分析
故事梗概
作者是家里唯一的拖延者。他的父母和姐姐都天生带着“有事立刻就去做”的天赋。他们总是匆匆忙忙，仿佛被一种无形的截止日期紧逼着。作者个人更喜欢一个更轻松的步调。当他的父母对他的倾向表示担忧时，教导他“今日事今日毕”，“绝不拖延！”时，他总是辩解称拖延有其积极的一面。他认为，延迟决定有助于大脑在不积极思考的时候持续思考问题，从而可能产生更具创造性的解决方案。
在学校里，作为期末评估的一部分，作者的老师史密斯先生宣布了一个令人兴奋的项目，每个学生将有一个月的时间来完成。学生们自主选择材料，利用他们在课堂上学到的东西去建造一座小建筑。获胜者不仅将获得额外学分，而且获胜者的建筑作品将在食堂里进行展示。作者的朋友内特哀叹不知道该怎么做才能完成它，但作者什么也没说。不是因为他和内特有一样的焦虑——而是因为他根本不紧张。作者喜欢动手的项目，他相信自己一定能做出让大家刮目相看的作品，但他过于放松，以至于好几个星期都没把老师布置的作业放在心上。

续写主题
作者是一个拖延者，并以此为豪。一次，在完成老师布置的作业时，因过度放任拖延，导致最终面临临时抱佛脚的困境，不得不匆忙完成任务，以至于自己做的项目的质量和满意度都受到了影响。续写的主题意义要突出通过这一经历，作者深刻领悟到了提前规划和稳步执行的重要性。要强调拖延行为可能带来的不良后果，在面对任务时我们应及时行动，不要等到最后一刻才开始。
二、参考范文
范文一
Before I realized, there was only one day left for the project. All that time I spent taking it easy suddenly seemed like a problem. I started to feel scared as I understood how much I had delayed things. While I was imagining my amazing creation without a care, time was running out without me noticing. Now, with only twenty-four hours left, I had to finish something that should have taken me a whole month. While my classmates were adding final details to their carefully planned and made projects, I was rushing to find materials and quickly put together something that looked like a building, which was obviously much worse than my classmates’ works.
That taught me a great lesson.Putting things off might feel good for a little while, but it causes problems later on. When I tried to fix my project at the last minute, I understood how important it is to start things early and keep going steadily. Waiting until the end didn't just make my work worse, it also stopped me from enjoying the process and feeling proud of what I'd done. I learned that being productive means planning ahead and staying focused, instead of waiting until the last moment and feeling stressed.（207 words）
范文二
Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. I started to panic because I had wasted so much time procrastinating. Quickly, I put together a design and gathered whatever materials I could find. But because I rushed, my project wasn’t as good as my classmates’ carefully made ones. When the winners were announced, my name wasn’t among them. My procrastination had cost me not only the chance to win extra credit but also the opportunity to proudly display my work in the cafeteria alongside my peers.
That taught me a great lesson. Procrastination might offer a temporary sense of relief, but it ends up causing stress and making things not as good. When I rushed to fix my project at the last minute, I understood how important it is to act quickly and regularly. Waiting until the last moment not only made my work worse but also stopped me from fully enjoying being creative. I learned from this that being really productive means planning ahead and doing things on time, not just waiting until later.（180 words）
