Faithfully yours,
Li Ming

Suppose one of your friends is going on a self?tour in your hometown. Write a letter in about 100 words to make a suggestion to him/her. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using Li Ming instead.
Sample:
Dear Mary,
Glad to hear from you. You have made a right decision to travel in my hometown, Sichuan because it is a place with picturesque scenery.
Self?tour is always my favorite, too, as it gives me more freedom to choose the beauty spots and arrange the tour. To you, a camping?lover, I highly recommend the Ice Mountain in Songpan County. First, you can directly go there by bus from Chengdu or Mianyang. The accommodation in Songpan is very convenient since there are quite a lot of private hotels with clean rooms at low price. Then you can hire a guide who will prepare a horse, a tent and some other things for you. After that, you will visit the beautiful scenery on horseback by following the guide during the day and enjoy camping at night. My journey there last July has really brought me great pleasure and unforgettable memory.
Wish you a happy tour.
Yours ever,
Li Ming

Suppose one of your friends is going to take the CET?6 and asks you for suggestions on how to make preparation. Write a letter in about 100 words to him/her. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using Li Ming instead.
Sample:
Dear Helen,
What a surprise it is that you are going to take this June’s CET?6 since you are only a freshman in Fudan University! Anyway, your courage and efforts are worth praise.
To get fully prepared for the test, I think, you need to first enlarge your vocabulary, which is the basis of all parts. Second, you need more exercises, especially exercises of reading comprehension, in order to improve your test skills. Then you should practise writing constantly. You can e?mail your compositions to me and I will correct them for you in time.
In a word, every effort is rewarding. I am looking forward to your success.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming

Write a letter in about 100 words to a high school to apply for a teaching position. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using Li Ming instead.
Sample:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to apply for the position as an English teacher that you recently advertised in Sichuan Daily. I take keen interest in the post because I find that my major and experiences well meet the requirements you stated in the advertisement.
Being interested in English teaching, I pursued my graduate study in the direction of teaching methodology in Sichuan International Studies University, and got a Master’s Degree in 2003. I was a top student through the three academic years, as can be shown in the enclosed resume and reports. After graduation, I ever taught English in a Xi’an high school. As Sichuan is my hometown I love very much, I have decided to move back and so I venture to apply for the position in your school.
If I were favored with an interview, I would be most grateful. Please contact me at 13573889787. Thank you for your consideration.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
求職信2
語(yǔ)言注意點(diǎn):
求職信不同于簡(jiǎn)歷。在介紹自己情況時(shí),不可面面俱到,否則篇幅過(guò)長(zhǎng),反而不易得到重視。應(yīng)重點(diǎn)突出與所應(yīng)聘職位相關(guān)的自己的特點(diǎn)及特長(zhǎng)。語(yǔ)言要有禮貌,要能體現(xiàn)出誠(chéng)懇的態(tài)度和對(duì)工作的渴求。

Sample:
Dear Doctor Liu,
It is a great pleasure to extend my sincere thanks to you for your careful treatment and attendance when I was in hospital this March.
On that night, I got acute appendicitis and was sent to your hospital by my roommates. Yet I was very lucky to have you, an experienced and skillful doctor, on duty. You immediately diagnosed my disease, hospitalized me and arranged a timely operation for me. In the following days you took good care of me and talked to me from time to time to release my pain.
It was all because of your attendance and perfect professional skills that I could recover so soon. Therefore, thank you again and I wish I would have the chance to pay you back for all your kindness.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming

Suppose your friend lent you a book and gave you some suggestions when you made preparations for CET?6. Write a letter in about 100 words to show your gratitude. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using Li Ming instead.
Sample:
Dear Sherry,
My thanks to you for your help with my preparations for the CET?6 are beyond words.
Originally I only wanted to ask you for some advice on the coming test, as you were so good at English. But to my surprise, you gave more help to me than I had ever expected. You not only wrote down ten suggestions for me but also showed me how I could arrange my time and what I should do in each month before the test. Besides, you lent me the book I needed very much when you learned that I had not yet got it. It was really kind and considerate of you.
Your unreserved help enabled me to make efficient preparations and at last encouraged me to pass the test. So I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude again.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming

Sample:
Dear Linda,
Kindly excuse me for my not being able to attend your graduation ceremony next Wednesday as I have promised.
You know, there will be a meeting of great importance to my company next week in Nanjing. But the person who was originally appointed to it is now seriously ill in hospital. And I have been asked to take his place to attend the meeting and make a speech on behalf of my company. On the one hand, it is a task assigned by my boss out of his trust in me. On the other hand, I do regard it as an opportunity to both display and enhance my abilities. So I am afraid I cannot be present at your graduation ceremony.
Though I have decided to send you a gift to celebrate your graduation, I really regret that I cannot give you my sincere congratulations on the spot, for I know any gift can never parallel a warm word spoken personally by a family member. I do feel terribly sorry. Please forgive me.
Cordially,
Li Ming

Sample:
Dear Mr. Zhang,
It was very kind of you to invite me to dinner in your house the day after tomorrow and I originally accepted it with great pleasure. But now, much to my regret that I may not be able to keep my promise because my sister was injured in a car accident and I must look after her in the hospital for several days.
The accident happened suddenly and all my family are now busy dealing with it and caring for my sister. So I don’t think I will have the time to go to the dinner and even if I go, I am afraid I will hardly be in a cheerful mood, which may spoil the party.
I am very sorry for that and really regret that I would miss such an excellent chance of enjoying the perfect dishes with friends. Besides, please give my regards to Mr. and Mrs. Rogers when they come to dinner.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. describe the picture;

3. make your comments.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
審題:
這道題目屬于哲理類(lèi)的題目,可以用多種方法來(lái)說(shuō)明圖中所闡述的道理,文章的安排也有多種可能性。我們可以采用一種比較獨(dú)特的方式,先描述圖表,在第二段中就所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行提問(wèn),在第三段中以舉例說(shuō)明我們對(duì)該問(wèn)題的理解和認(rèn)識(shí),最后在第四段做結(jié)。
Sample:
A miserable picture unfolds before our eyes: a flood has destroyed a whole city. We can imagine the loss of lives and property. Under the picture, there was a thought?provoking sentence: every drop of water says it is not responsible for the flood.
This picture inevitably invites a series of questions: then who is responsible for the flood? Who has demolished the houses? Who has drowned the children?
A good case in point is pollution. Twenty years ago, most rivers were so clean—the water was drinkable and so many people went swimming and fishing. Only two decades later, many of them became so polluted that we can no longer drink the water—fishes have died out and nobody ever swims in it or washes clothes by it. Every one of us never thinks the industrial waste or the living garbage we once damped into the river would cause so serious a result—today the harsh reality has become too hard to swallow.
Finally we realize that every drop of water actually is responsible for the flood. Only if every citizen takes on his responsibility as a member of a family, a nation and the world can all of us wish to have a more beautiful future.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
第一段對(duì)圖表和圖下的文字進(jìn)行描述。這一段使用了少用的句型A miserable picture unfolds before our eyes以深化看到圖畫(huà)后受到的震撼。而后加入了聯(lián)想性的句子We can imagine the loss of lives and property,這是不多見(jiàn)的。然后描述了圖下的一句話。
第二段創(chuàng)造性地連問(wèn)了三個(gè)問(wèn)題,與圖下的文字針?shù)h相對(duì),又為第三段的論述做了充分的鋪墊。三個(gè)問(wèn)題中,第一個(gè)問(wèn)題直接與上段末句形成對(duì)立,而后面兩句則是呼應(yīng)首段的次句,可謂環(huán)環(huán)相扣,聯(lián)系緊密。
第三段共分四句,舉了污染的例子。第一句是常用句型。第二句和第三句形成了鮮明的對(duì)比——二十年前的河流清澈,二十年后的卻污染嚴(yán)重。最后一句是關(guān)鍵——傾倒工業(yè)廢料、生活垃圾的人也沒(méi)有想到會(huì)有如此嚴(yán)重的后果。
最后一段是結(jié)論段,共分兩句。第一句話正好與圖中的話相反,這是在論述后得到的結(jié)論。第二句話引申說(shuō)——每個(gè)公民都要盡自己的責(zé)任,我們才能擁有美好的明天。
心得:
在說(shuō)理的文章中,找到切入點(diǎn)是很重要的,所以很多時(shí)候要用到舉例。一般說(shuō)來(lái),有多種例子可舉,并不一定哪一種就是最好的。這時(shí)由于時(shí)間有限,不可太猶豫。本文中舉了污染的例子,解答了第二段中的疑問(wèn),也直接引出了末段的結(jié)論,作用非常重要,請(qǐng)大家用心體會(huì)。

Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should:

3. make your comments.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
審題:
這是一個(gè)非常好的題目,我們可以這樣來(lái)構(gòu)思:描述圖表——分析其中道理——推廣到生活中——采取行動(dòng)。
Sample:
In the first picture, a young girl poured a whole barrel of water on a little flower in order to help it grow more quickly. In the second picture, the flower withered before long, and the child was crying—she wondered why things should be that way.
Trees need water to grow up, and flowers need water to bloom. But too much water can no longer be helpful—it can only hinder their growth and even kill them. Whenever we water trees or flowers, we should do it according to the natural principle.
Actually, whenever we take action in our daily life, we should follow the law of nature. It is understandable for us to dream of quick success and then take immediate actions to turn it into reality, but we should not be too hasty. If we are always in a hurry, quality often suffers, making it more difficult for us to attain the aim.
Up until now, we come to understand the meaning of the old saying “Haste makes waste” better. We should break our great plan into small parts, analyze the feature of each part and carry it out step by step—when we follow the natural pace of development, success will soon be in our hands.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
本文共分為四段。第一段描述兩幅圖畫(huà),突出了其中的對(duì)比。第二段分三句來(lái)闡述畫(huà)中的道理。前兩句話說(shuō)樹(shù)與花都需要水,但過(guò)多的水不但無(wú)益,反倒有害。最后一句話說(shuō)澆水要符合自然規(guī)律。第三段共三句話。第一句說(shuō)在日常生活中,我們應(yīng)遵守自然規(guī)律。第二句說(shuō)夢(mèng)想快速成功然后立即采取行動(dòng)是可以理解的,但是不能太著急。第三句話說(shuō)如果總是匆匆忙忙,質(zhì)量肯定會(huì)受影響,達(dá)到目的就更難了。最后一段兩句話,第一句話說(shuō)我們最終更好地理解了“欲速則不達(dá)”這句話。第二句話說(shuō)了我們正確的做法——將計(jì)劃拆分成小的部分,分析每部分的特點(diǎn),而后一步步地付諸實(shí)施。
心得:
該文由淺入深,環(huán)環(huán)相扣,漸入佳境,源自宏觀上全局的安排和微觀上語(yǔ)言的處理。從分析畫(huà)本身的道理,說(shuō)到我們的日常生活,再到我們處事的具體做法,非常自然,也使人感到親切。
在語(yǔ)言上,首段采用了兩句簡(jiǎn)潔的描述,突出顯示了對(duì)比。次段首句采用的是平行結(jié)構(gòu)。次句采用了破折號(hào)表示遞進(jìn)。第三段中第二句采用了表轉(zhuǎn)折的并列句,第三句采用了條件狀語(yǔ)從句。第四段第二句采用了平行的動(dòng)賓詞組,而后使用破折號(hào),最后使用了時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。

審題:
這道題目看似簡(jiǎn)單,卻富含哲理,對(duì)我們而言是一個(gè)很好的挑戰(zhàn)。在謀篇布局上,需要精心安排。可以這樣做:在描述圖畫(huà)后,在第二段中直接對(duì)圖中的論斷進(jìn)行批駁,而后在第三段拓展到社會(huì)生活中相關(guān)的方面。最后在第四段中下結(jié)論。
Sample:
In the picture, a young man is lying in bed and says to himself, “If I do nothing, I will make no mistakes.”
How ridiculous this statement is! To err is human—who can avoid making mistakes all the time? If we are careful and cautious enough, we can always learn from our mistakes and failures. So when we meet the same problem for the second time, we can tackle it from another angle and by another approach. After repeated attempts, we can reduce or even eliminate mistakes.
We can’t help thinking of the inaction of some government officials. Their chief aim in their daily work is to make no mistakes. Whenever emergency happens, they never take immediate action. Instead, they always report it to his superior and ask him what can be done. In many cases, time has been wasted and the best opportunities to make remedies have been lost. If government officials cannot make decisions and take actions, why do we need them?
Like the government officials, people of other professions should also take on their responsibility to do what they are required to do without hesitation. Mistakes are not a bad thing so long as we are determined to learn from them and make constant progress.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
該文的結(jié)構(gòu)安排非常精彩。第一段對(duì)圖畫(huà)進(jìn)行描述,非常簡(jiǎn)潔。第二段共分五句,直接對(duì)圖中人的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行批駁。第一句話使用感嘆句,極言上述說(shuō)法之荒謬。第二句引用諺語(yǔ),說(shuō)明“人非圣賢,孰能無(wú)過(guò)”。第三句話說(shuō),我們總是能從錯(cuò)誤和失敗中學(xué)到東西。第四句和第五句說(shuō)我們?cè)谟龅酵瑯拥膯?wèn)題時(shí),總是可以嘗試不同的方法以減少甚至消滅錯(cuò)誤。
第三段共分六句,以某些政府官員為例。第一句使用了常見(jiàn)的舉例子的句型。第二句說(shuō)明他們的主要目的是“但求無(wú)過(guò)”。第三句和第四句說(shuō)緊急情況出現(xiàn)時(shí),他們不采取緊急行動(dòng),而是匯報(bào)給上級(jí)。第五句說(shuō)時(shí)間浪費(fèi)了,最好的補(bǔ)救時(shí)機(jī)錯(cuò)過(guò)了。最后一句說(shuō),如果政府官員不能做決定、采取行動(dòng),我們要他們干什么呢?這一段將上述對(duì)道理的分析與當(dāng)前社會(huì)生活中的現(xiàn)象結(jié)合起來(lái),很有說(shuō)服力。
最后一段有兩句話,第一句說(shuō)每個(gè)人都應(yīng)負(fù)起責(zé)任,毫不猶豫地履行自己的職責(zé)。第二句說(shuō)錯(cuò)誤并不是壞事,只要我們從中學(xué)習(xí)便可以獲得進(jìn)步。
心得:
要想寫(xiě)好哲理性的文章,平時(shí)要養(yǎng)成思考的習(xí)慣。在行文過(guò)程中,先辨明道理,而后與時(shí)事相結(jié)合是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇。不要忘記最后給出有力的結(jié)論。

Sample:
In the net bar, those who are present are obviously all school children. Different are the things they are doing on computers—some are playing games and some are chatting online; but the same are the expressions they wear before the computers—attentive and addicted. It seems that they are so absorbed in the unreal world that they may not notice anything around them in the real world.
As is known to all, the addiction to net games and chat can do great harm to children. First of all, it will affect their study by taking up a lot of time and energy. Secondly, radiation from computers will harm their health, especially their eyes. In addition, their indulging in the unreal world will have negative influence on their communication with people in the real world, and thus will hamper the development of their personality and mental health.
From my point of view, in order to solve this problem, the primary responsibility falls on parents, who are supposed to have more significant influence on the growth of children. By improving mutual communication, they can establish a better relationship with the children, make them feel they are cared and understood, and reasonably direct their interests. Next come teachers and schools, who, undoubtedly, play an important role in children’s education. Besides teaching knowledge in class, they should help children develop various interests to fill their after?class time, such as sports and scientific invention. In my belief, the problem of children’s addiction in net games and chat can be solved through efficient communication and proper guidance.

第二段首句是段落的主題句。而后分三個(gè)方面來(lái)談,第一點(diǎn)是影響學(xué)習(xí);第二點(diǎn)是有害健康;第三點(diǎn)是對(duì)個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)極為不利。

審題:
該文提綱可分為三個(gè)部分:描述圖畫(huà);給出圖畫(huà)所表現(xiàn)的現(xiàn)象的原因;給出解決問(wèn)題的辦法。這是一種非常常見(jiàn)的文章模式。在提綱中直接給出主題的情況不多,如果沒(méi)有給出,就應(yīng)該在第一段或第二段開(kāi)頭明確地點(diǎn)出來(lái)。圖畫(huà)題一般有兩種情況,一種是平鋪直敘,直接寫(xiě)圖畫(huà)反映的問(wèn)題或現(xiàn)象;一種是含義深刻,簡(jiǎn)潔的圖畫(huà)中蘊(yùn)涵著深刻的道理。一般來(lái)說(shuō),后者的難度較高。這里屬于前一種情況。
Sample:
In the picture, we can see clearly that two small children are showing off their father’s business cards. One says proudly, “My father is the manager of his department.” And the other immediately laughs at him and utters, “Oh, that’s nothing. My father is the CEO of a multinational corporation.”
The reasons why such a worrying phenomenon arises, in my belief, are as follows. First, in the social transformation period, some people pay more and more attention to wealth and status, and link success to such superficial factors, thus making a destructive compact on children. Second, today’s media, to some extent, have actually aggravated such an unfavorable situation. In films and TV series a happy and ideal life is often depicted as a luxurious one, which will inevitably have an adverse effect on young people who are still not mature enough to distinguish between right and wrong. Third, teachers, on many occasions, have not done a satisfactory job. The present education system sometimes attaches too much attention to the scores and grades of students and overlooks their personality development.
To change the present unfavorable situation all of us must make immediate and substantial efforts. The government should try it best to create a social atmosphere in which people cherish diligence, conscience and simplicity. Teachers and schools should make every effort to teach the students to grow up into responsible and enterprising citizens who are determined to contribute to the development of the community, the nation and the whole world. Parents should let students get in touch with the society, helping them know that a meaningful life is one that brings significance to others. Only in this way can we hope to solve such a disturbing problem and ensure the brilliant future of our nation.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
該文共分三段。第一段描述圖畫(huà)。一般說(shuō)來(lái),先描述圖畫(huà),后點(diǎn)明主題的情形比較多——這樣寫(xiě)重在歸納,比較重視邏輯和事物發(fā)展的內(nèi)部聯(lián)系。而本文首句即點(diǎn)明主題,即本文所述的現(xiàn)象——孩子吹噓父親職位、相互攀比的現(xiàn)象——這樣寫(xiě)開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山,非常有力度。
第二段寫(xiě)了該現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因。第一句話是段落的主題句,而后分社會(huì)、媒體和老師三個(gè)方面來(lái)說(shuō)。
第三段寫(xiě)解決問(wèn)題的辦法,第一句話是主題句,之后分別寫(xiě)政府、老師和家長(zhǎng)正確的做法。這里沒(méi)有使用象first,second,third這樣的連接詞,但由于采用了平行的主語(yǔ),仍達(dá)到了結(jié)構(gòu)清晰的效果。最后一句話是結(jié)論句,使用了強(qiáng)勢(shì)的倒裝句,句中使用了連詞and,前面寫(xiě)“解決問(wèn)題”,正好與提綱相扣,后面寫(xiě)“保證國(guó)家的美好明天”,是升華的部分,請(qǐng)大家用心體會(huì)末句的寫(xiě)法。
心得:
第二段與第三段均分三點(diǎn)來(lái)寫(xiě),其中兩點(diǎn)嚴(yán)格呼應(yīng),另一點(diǎn)并未嚴(yán)格呼應(yīng)(家長(zhǎng))。這是平行之間見(jiàn)變化的高級(jí)寫(xiě)法,即兩點(diǎn)是顯性呼應(yīng),一點(diǎn)是隱性呼應(yīng)。

題目:
Where are we going?
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the Mexican.
“But then, why didn?t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
“I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs...I have a full life.”
The American interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.”
“How long would that take?” asked the Mexican. “Twenty, perhaps twenty?five years,” replied the American. “And after that?”
“Afterwards? That?s when it gets really interesting,” answered the American, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!”
“Millions? Really? And after that?”
“After that you?ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and spend your evenings enjoying your friends!”
審題:
在本書(shū)的大作文中,我們不僅為大家提供了圖畫(huà)題和圖表題,還提供了一些比較特殊的題目,比如這篇看文章寫(xiě)作。我們這樣做,不僅因?yàn)閲?guó)外考試中有類(lèi)似的形式,更重要的是想拓寬大家的視野,提高大家的應(yīng)變能力。
該題目先給出了一篇極富哲理的三百余字的短文,而后提出了三點(diǎn)要求,簡(jiǎn)述該故事;闡釋其中含義;給出你的評(píng)論。這篇文章可以分成三段來(lái)寫(xiě):第一段是簡(jiǎn)要地重述該故事;第二段闡釋含義并作出評(píng)論;最后一段是結(jié)語(yǔ)。
Sample:
In the above story, an American tourist wishes to turn a Mexican fisherman into a millionaire so that the latter can enjoy a happy life. The fisherman simply turns him down because he has been living that kind of happy life now.
This story makes every one of us look at the ultimate question of happiness closer and deeper. Do we need to tell others how to be happy? Is getting rich the only way to be a happy person? Does earning a lot of money surely bring an intense feeling of happiness? Happiness is a largely related with individual perception, and there is definitely no need for us to reshape others’ lives in the name of bringing them happiness. Furthermore, becoming rich does not necessarily bring happiness, if we cannot control ourselves to spend money in the right way. Finally, to travel happily and hopefully is equal to and even better than to arrive. It is not wise at all to sacrifice youth, health or today’s happiness just for a bright future in our dreams.
Happiness is a feeling. We go a thousand miles and spend many years to pursue what we actually can grasp today. Around us there are too many people who are busy all day, and those who are smart enough to enjoy life are always few.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
這篇文章分為三段。第一段寫(xiě)得非常簡(jiǎn)潔,這一段很能體現(xiàn)出我們總結(jié)概括的能力。該段只有兩句話,突出描寫(xiě)了美國(guó)人的意圖和墨西哥漁民截然相反的態(tài)度。
第二段是核心段落。第一句直接點(diǎn)出了該文討論的主題:幸福。而后三句話連續(xù)三個(gè)問(wèn)題,對(duì)文中以美國(guó)人為代表的一大批人的觀點(diǎn)表示質(zhì)疑。后四句給出回答:第五句說(shuō)幸福與個(gè)人的感覺(jué)相關(guān);第六句說(shuō)變得富有不一定能帶來(lái)幸福;第七、八句最耐人尋味:快樂(lè)地、充滿希望地旅行甚至比到達(dá)更好,為了夢(mèng)想中的光明未來(lái)而犧牲自己的青春、健康或今天的幸福是不明智的。其中第七句暗引了蘇格蘭作家Robert Louis Stevenson的名句:To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
最后一段做結(jié):幸福是一種感覺(jué)。我們跨越千里,等待多年所追逐的其實(shí)就在身邊。匆匆忙忙的人總是太多,能享受生活的人卻寥寥無(wú)幾啊。
心得:
如果提綱中給出的要求是闡釋含義并給出評(píng)論,這類(lèi)文章是比較難寫(xiě)的。這篇文章大家一定要細(xì)細(xì)琢磨,領(lǐng)悟其中的深刻含義。

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should:

審題:
《井干方知水可貴》該圖畫(huà)以簡(jiǎn)潔的筆觸說(shuō)明了深刻的道理,這類(lèi)文章考察的可能性是相當(dāng)大的。
Sample:
The picture focuses on a person standing by a well. Looking at the empty barrel at hand, he sighs, “My God, there is no water at all. I should not have wasted it.”
We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Similarly, we never realize the worth of the best things in life until they are lost. When we are young, some of us bear a destination in mind and try to reach it at all costs. In the due process, we either lose health or our friends—even if we reach that destination at last, will we be happy? Others always think God is not fair to them—they are so frustrated that they can not accumulate the courage to change their lives for the better. When youth becomes history, their world will be even colder and more hopeless.
Many of the best things in the world are just in our own hands. It is certainly not easy to realize this point, and even more difficult to cherish them to the uttermost. If we realize the value of youth, health and friends, we will be among the happiest persons of the world.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
這篇文章的布局相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單,共分三段。第一段描述圖畫(huà)。第二段闡釋含義,也就是說(shuō)明其中蘊(yùn)涵的深刻道理。第三段下結(jié)論。
第一段非常簡(jiǎn)潔。第二段共有六句話,第一句話一針見(jiàn)血,非常關(guān)鍵。第二句是類(lèi)推,頗具哲理。第三句和第四句說(shuō)我們?cè)谙蛑繕?biāo)奮進(jìn)的過(guò)程中常常失去了寶貴的東西,如健康、朋友。第五句話說(shuō)有些人慨嘆命運(yùn)的不公。第六句話說(shuō)當(dāng)青春失去時(shí),世界將變得冰冷無(wú)望。第三段是結(jié)語(yǔ),共分三句話。首先說(shuō)世上許多最好的東西實(shí)際上就在我們手中;然后說(shuō)理解到這點(diǎn)是不容易的,而做到就更不容易了;最后說(shuō)如果我們意識(shí)到了青春、健康和朋友的價(jià)值,我們就是最幸福的人了。
心得:
看到這副圖畫(huà),關(guān)鍵是建立表面的含義和隱藏深刻的含義之間的聯(lián)系。“井干方知水可貴”可推衍至人生中可貴的東西,如青春、健康和友情等。如果平時(shí)多思考、多寫(xiě)作,考試時(shí)即使遇到不同的題目,也能快速反應(yīng),找到正確的應(yīng)對(duì)方法。
這篇文章的重要特點(diǎn)就是列舉,將具體圖畫(huà)與抽象的人生中可貴的東西建立類(lèi)比聯(lián)系之后,一定要舉出具體的有代表性的這類(lèi)可貴的事物。第二段分兩個(gè)方面來(lái)說(shuō),先說(shuō)了健康與朋友,后說(shuō)了青春。第三段中一定要與第二段中直接呼應(yīng),將這三者再列舉一次才能取得理想的效果。
