    審題:
    這篇文章的提綱與2002真題類似,屬于晦澀的一種,但是經(jīng)過仔細(xì)分析后,我們將文章結(jié)構(gòu)并不難把握,一種好的選擇是——第一段描述圖畫,第二段對(duì)繪畫者的意圖進(jìn)行推測(cè),第三段對(duì)第二段做進(jìn)一步說明,第四段下結(jié)論。
    這里面至關(guān)重要的是第二段與第三段的關(guān)系。通常的情況是前一段就事論事或泛泛而論,后一段進(jìn)行概括總結(jié)、提煉升華。
    Sample:
    This picture sets me thinking for a long time. The parents themselves are playing mahjong, but they are telling their little child loudly: “Work hard. Don’t let us down.”
    The drawer reminds us of a common social phenomenon. Nowadays, more and more parents wish children to study hard in order to embrace a brilliant future, but many of them do not know how to turn this dream into reality. We come across many parents who ask their children to attend all kinds of training classes, but is it that important in the making of a good student and later a successful person?
    What is really important, according to the drawer, should be something else. That is the environment created by the parents and felt by the child. How can a child grow up into a scientist who loves research when the noise of playing mahjong is always there? Actions always speak louder than words. If parents turn off TV and family cinema, stop all noisy games and get down to reading quietly, the positive impact on the child will be considerable. In the years to come, the child will gradually learn concentration, which is an essential part of the learning process.
    Across the nation, parents are investing more and more money on the education of their child. If they have a closer look on the learning process, they will know what is important is often how they behave, not how much money they spend.
    點(diǎn)評(píng):
    首段的描述非常簡潔,與眾不同的是第一句話——這兩副畫讓我思忖良久。
    第二段的首句是一個(gè)常用的模板句,非常有效。第二句話說許多家長望子成龍,卻不知如何實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)期望。而后舉了一個(gè)例子,許多家長讓孩子參加這樣那樣的培訓(xùn)班,但是這在孩子成材的過程中就那么重要嗎?
    第三段是文章的關(guān)鍵段落。該段首句是過渡句,引出了下面的關(guān)鍵句子——重要的是環(huán)境,是父母創(chuàng)造孩子感知的環(huán)境。而后使用反問句——當(dāng)一直有麻將聲時(shí),一個(gè)孩子怎樣能成長為熱愛研究的科學(xué)家呢?而后使用諺語——行勝于言。如果父母關(guān)掉電視,開始讀書,對(duì)孩子的正面影響將是巨大的。后說在以后的數(shù)年中,孩子將會(huì)逐漸學(xué)會(huì)集中精力。
    后一段做結(jié),分兩句。第一句寫父母大量投資在孩子的教育上面。第二句表示遞進(jìn),如果父母仔細(xì)審視的過程,那么他們將知道,重要的是他們的行為,而不是投入的錢。
    心得:
    句子中的好的用法一定要日積月累,這很重要。第三段的首句中有插入語的用法。第二句有名詞由兩個(gè)平行的過去分詞短語修飾的用法。第三句中的when the noise of playing mahjong is always there是個(gè)精彩用法,表示“一直有噪音”,如果說沒有噪音,可以說when the noise is down。第四句是個(gè)諺語,需要平時(shí)積累,注意使用時(shí)務(wù)求準(zhǔn)確。第五句在條件狀語從句中,有平行的動(dòng)賓結(jié)構(gòu)。本段后一句中in the years to come是個(gè)好詞組,表示“在將要到來的數(shù)年中”,之后有非限制性定語從句的用法。

    審題:
    這篇文章的提綱是圖畫作文另一種非常典型的提綱,在描述圖畫后分別給出該現(xiàn)象(或問題)的原因及其解決辦法。這里在提綱中雖沒有出現(xiàn)interpret the meaning(闡釋含義)的字樣,實(shí)際上這個(gè)步驟是不可少的,但可以做得極為簡潔。
    Sample:
    In this picture we are surprised to see a group of fat children who want to lose weight at a dieting center. We can’t help asking such a question: why are there so many overweighted young children in present society?
    In my belief, many reasons contribute to this undesirable result, but three of them play the dominant role. In the first place, with the development of national economy, people’s living level becomes higher and higher. Grandparents and parents devote all their love to the young children, who consequently often take in much more nutrition than necessary. In the second place, more and more young boys and girls are even addicted to foreign snacks, which contain too much fat and thus do great harm to the heart and the vessels. Last but by no means the least, pressure from teachers, parents and the whole society often leaves little time for small children to take part in physical exercises.
    To solve this worrying problem, all of us should take immediate and effective measures. First, a balanced and healthy diet is often the most important factor in the making of a strong body. In this aspect, teachers and parents should do their jobs. Second, exercises should become part of their daily life—once children get used to sports, they will find it not only beneficial but also interesting.
    All of us have realized the children are the future of our nation, and we should also realize that healthy minds always dwell in healthy bodies. To fulfill this goal, all of us should work hard.
