這道題包含兩幅對(duì)比鮮明的圖畫,指令要求在描述圖畫后闡明含義并給出該現(xiàn)象的原因。我們應(yīng)該這樣來(lái)構(gòu)造全文:第一段描述圖畫;第二段發(fā)表自己對(duì)圖畫的看法;第三段給出該現(xiàn)象的原因;第四段下結(jié)論,簡(jiǎn)要提出解決問(wèn)題的辦法。經(jīng)過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)之后,大家就會(huì)知道這是一個(gè)極為重要的模式,請(qǐng)大家用心掌握。
Sample:
As is depicted by the two pictures, a sharp contrast is shaped between the parents and the son. In the left drawing, the parents are working hard in the field, bending over and sweating heavily. Near them is a basket with very simple food in it. However, in the right drawing, their son is squandering the money on luxurious food and chatting on mobile phone.
How pitiful the parents are! They spare no efforts to earn money in order to support their son's study and life in university. They seem to be willing to do everything that is helpful to their beloved son. But, in return, the son spends the money as he likes without knowing how hard his parents work for it and how he should use it to better prepare himself for future career.
In my opinion, the reasons for this phenomenon come down to one essential point—failure of both family and school education. For one thing, quite a lot of Chinese parents spoil their children. All parents' love for children is the same, but different is the way of showing it. Many parents hope too much that their children will have a bright future, which, in their eyes, means key universities, hot majors, good salaries and so on. So they try their best to satisfy the children's demands instead of teaching them to struggle for future with their own hands. For another, centered on exam marks, the school education also fails, to a large extent, to impart moral standards to the children, especially the conception of selfreliance and hard struggle.
In a word, to change the phenomenon described by the above pictures, a reform in our current education system is not only necessary but urgent.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
第一段的重點(diǎn)是在描述時(shí)突出兩幅圖畫之間強(qiáng)烈的反差,所以這里專門加上了第一句話。這一段在用詞上也很考究。第二段強(qiáng)烈地表達(dá)了自己的感想。首句使用了感嘆句。而后先說(shuō)父母竭盡全力掙錢供孩子讀書,后說(shuō)孩子不知父母辛苦,不懂得如何正確利用父母的血汗錢。第三段給出了該現(xiàn)象的原因——家庭和學(xué)校教育的失敗,而后分為兩方面來(lái)說(shuō),結(jié)構(gòu)極為清晰。最后一段只有一句話,擲地有聲——要想改變現(xiàn)狀,只能改革當(dāng)前的教育體系。

What an attractive scene it is! On such a peaceful and beautiful morning by West Lake, a middleaged foreigner is jogging—he is enjoying the fresh air, cool breeze and charming scenery. From this picture, we can see clearly that the foreigner enjoys life in this Chinese city, Hangzhou.
As a matter of fact, in the past few years, more and more foreigners have chosen to live in China. Some work here, some pursue their study in universities and even some join volunteer activities in China. The reasons why more and more foreigners like to live in China can be listed as follows. To begin with, since China's reform and openingup in 1978, our country has witnessed great progress in nearly all aspects of the society, especially in economy, which provides a far better environment of working, investing and studying for foreigners. Second, economic globalization has made cultural blending possible and necessary. Foreigners have come to know more and more about Chinese culture and become influenced by it, which has formed the important basis of their living in China.

《招員工七名》 這篇文章關(guān)注的是當(dāng)前重要的就業(yè)難問(wèn)題。它的要求非常明確,在描述圖畫后,先給出原因,再給出解決辦法,這是非常常見(jiàn)的文章模式。
Sample:
The recruiting fair in the above drawing is filled with young graduates each holding a pile of resumes in their hands. Around a desk in the front of the drawing, there are dozens of students waiting to hand in their resumes but only seven are wanted by the company as is written on a board beside the desk.
It is clear that the drawer wants to draw our attention to the difficulty that today's university graduates are faced with in finding a job. In fact, in many universities and colleges, the employment rate of graduates is lower than 50% and much fewer can find a satisfactory job. The reasons for this situation can be listed as follows. In the first place, the enrolment expansion of universities and colleges has resulted in a great increase in the number of graduates every year, which has exceeded the increase in positions in the job market. What makes things worse is that quite a lot of students like to choose those hot majors when they enter the university and to look for jobs in big developed cities when they graduate. So it is even more difficult for them to find a suitable job.
From my point of view, the society and the graduates need to join their hands in the endeavor to solve this problem. On the one hand, the society should continue to focus on economic development so as to provide bigger employment chances for the graduates. On the other hand, the students should choose the majors that they are really interested in and well capable of and broaden their horizon when looking for jobs. Only in this way can they gain larger space for their future career.

Sample:
From the above table we can see that in America and Britain the ratio of average annual tuition of universities to gross national income per capita is about 1 to 10, but astonishingly that in China is 1. That is to say, the burden of university tuition on Chinese families is nearly ten times heavier than that on American or British families. As a matter of fact, most Chinese families feel it difficult to afford the high tuition of their children, and some absolutely cannot afford it, which has received more and more concern from all over the country.
In order to solve this problem, I strongly suggest the following solutions. First and foremost, it is a must to reduce the cost of higher education. We need to cut down the staff in universities, most of whom now have a disproportionately large number of administrators. The now widespread corruption should also be eliminated in universities, such as unnecessary tours and banquets at public expense. Moreover, much importance should be attached to the reform of management system of higher education. The national government should not only increase financial investment in higher education but also optimize the distribution of such money.
To sum up, it is high time to pay enough attention to the problem of the heavy burden of university tuition in our country, and to solve it a comprehensive educational reform is essential.

該文共分三段,第一段是描述表格,第二段是給出解決辦法,第三段是總結(jié)。
第一段是對(duì)表格進(jìn)行描述——這時(shí)我們不一定要把每個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)都描述出來(lái),而是要抓住問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵。這個(gè)表格的關(guān)鍵就是體現(xiàn)我國(guó)大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)太高,依據(jù)就是學(xué)費(fèi)與國(guó)民人均年收入之比。美國(guó)與英國(guó)處于差不多的水平,所以放在一起說(shuō)就可以了。該段共分三句話,第一句將比例描述出來(lái),第二句作出比較——中國(guó)家庭負(fù)擔(dān)的大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)是英美國(guó)家的十倍之多。第三句進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明我國(guó)大部分家庭感覺(jué)負(fù)擔(dān)較重,有些家庭根本就負(fù)擔(dān)不起。
第二段提出解決辦法,第一句是模板句,之后分兩方面來(lái)說(shuō)。第一方面說(shuō)的是減少高等教育的成本,分為兩個(gè)方面,一是減員增效,二是消除腐敗。第二方面說(shuō)的是高教管理體制的改革。國(guó)家應(yīng)加強(qiáng)高等教育的投資,并合理配置這些資金。
最后一段是總結(jié),說(shuō)解決大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)成為沉重負(fù)擔(dān)問(wèn)題正值其時(shí),全面改革勢(shì)在必行。

題目:
本報(bào)記者報(bào)道自20世紀(jì)70年代末以來(lái),中國(guó)的離婚率持續(xù)上升。離婚水平已超過(guò)鄰國(guó)日本和韓國(guó),與新加坡同屬亞洲離婚率較高的國(guó)家。這是近日中國(guó)社會(huì)科學(xué)院人口學(xué)專家唐燦發(fā)布的調(diào)研報(bào)告中指出的。這份報(bào)告還寫到,據(jù)2003年北京市統(tǒng)計(jì)年鑒公布的數(shù)據(jù),2002年北京市的離婚總數(shù)為38756對(duì),當(dāng)年戶籍人口為1136.3萬(wàn),粗離婚率達(dá)到6.82‰;當(dāng)年的結(jié)婚對(duì)數(shù)為76136對(duì),由此計(jì)算離結(jié)率高達(dá)50.90%.也就是說(shuō),這一年平均不到兩對(duì)夫妻結(jié)婚就有一對(duì)夫妻離婚,北京市的離婚率已經(jīng)成為全國(guó)。

Sample:
According to the above news report, the divorce rate in China keeps increasing since 1970's, and now is higher than that in Japan and Korea. It was also reported that the ratio of divorced couples to married couples reached 1 to 2 in 2002 in Beijing.
From my point of view, the problem of high divorce rate in our country can be analyzed from three perspectives. To begin with, owing to economic development and women's liberation, the traditional family mode has changed greatly. Now in most cases the two parties of a marriage are psychologically and economically independent. Second, because of the higher living standard and onechild policy, many young people have shaped a selfcentered personality, which is liable to result in lack of mutual care and understanding. Third, when all the social members become more and more openminded, people are less restricted to the traditional conception of marriage. Third parties, extramarital love and online marriage all pose great threats to the legal marriage.
As we all know, healthy marriages are beneficial not only to the couples themselves, but also to the growth of the children and to the stability of the whole society. Therefore, it is worthwhile to make efforts to reduce the divorce rate. Before they get married, young couples should be emotionally and psychologically well prepared for all possible conditions and changes in marriage. Furthermore, school and family education should help enhance the sense of responsibility, which is not only the key to a healthy marriage but also to a successful career.

第二段是寫原因的段落,共分三個(gè)方面來(lái)寫。第一點(diǎn)寫傳統(tǒng)家庭模式的巨大變化。第二點(diǎn)寫年輕人以自我為中心的人格的形成,容易導(dǎo)致相互關(guān)愛(ài)與理解的缺失。第三點(diǎn)說(shuō)人們的傳統(tǒng)婚姻家庭觀念的松動(dòng)。

審題:
在審題的環(huán)節(jié)中,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)將讀圖表(圖畫)和看提綱有機(jī)地結(jié)合起來(lái)。有的時(shí)候,提綱中會(huì)把文章的主題直接給出來(lái),這時(shí)我們文章的整體布局就會(huì)容易得多。在這道題的提綱中,就出現(xiàn)了“中國(guó)大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)負(fù)擔(dān)沉重的問(wèn)題”的字樣,這就是該文的主題,我們的文章應(yīng)該圍繞它展開(kāi)。
Sample:
From the above table we can see that in America and Britain the ratio of average annual tuition of universities to gross national income per capita is about 1 to 10, but astonishingly that in China is 1. That is to say, the burden of university tuition on Chinese families is nearly ten times heavier than that on American or British families. As a matter of fact, most Chinese families feel it difficult to afford the high tuition of their children, and some absolutely cannot afford it, which has received more and more concern from all over the country.
In order to solve this problem, I strongly suggest the following solutions. First and foremost, it is a must to reduce the cost of higher education. We need to cut down the staff in universities, most of whom now have a disproportionately large number of administrators. The now widespread corruption should also be eliminated in universities, such as unnecessary tours and banquets at public expense. Moreover, much importance should be attached to the reform of management system of higher education. The national government should not only increase financial investment in higher education but also optimize the distribution of such money.
To sum up, it is high time to pay enough attention to the problem of the heavy burden of university tuition in our country, and to solve it a comprehensive educational reform is essential.
點(diǎn)評(píng):
該文共分三段,第一段是描述表格,第二段是給出解決辦法,第三段是總結(jié)。
第一段是對(duì)表格進(jìn)行描述——這時(shí)我們不一定要把每個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)都描述出來(lái),而是要抓住問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵。這個(gè)表格的關(guān)鍵就是體現(xiàn)我國(guó)大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)太高,依據(jù)就是學(xué)費(fèi)與國(guó)民人均年收入之比。美國(guó)與英國(guó)處于差不多的水平,所以放在一起說(shuō)就可以了。該段共分三句話,第一句將比例描述出來(lái),第二句作出比較——中國(guó)家庭負(fù)擔(dān)的大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)是英美國(guó)家的十倍之多。第三句進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明我國(guó)大部分家庭感覺(jué)負(fù)擔(dān)較重,有些家庭根本就負(fù)擔(dān)不起。
第二段提出解決辦法,第一句是模板句,之后分兩方面來(lái)說(shuō)。第一方面說(shuō)的是減少高等教育的成本,分為兩個(gè)方面,一是減員增效,二是消除腐敗。第二方面說(shuō)的是高教管理體制的改革。國(guó)家應(yīng)加強(qiáng)高等教育的投資,并合理配置這些資金。
最后一段是總結(jié),說(shuō)解決大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)成為沉重負(fù)擔(dān)問(wèn)題正值其時(shí),全面改革勢(shì)在必行。

題目:
本報(bào)記者報(bào)道自20世紀(jì)70年代末以來(lái),中國(guó)的離婚率持續(xù)上升。離婚水平已超過(guò)鄰國(guó)日本和韓國(guó),與新加坡同屬亞洲離婚率較高的國(guó)家。這是近日中國(guó)社會(huì)科學(xué)院人口學(xué)專家唐燦發(fā)布的調(diào)研報(bào)告中指出的。這份報(bào)告還寫到,據(jù)2003年北京市統(tǒng)計(jì)年鑒公布的數(shù)據(jù),2002年北京市的離婚總數(shù)為38756對(duì),當(dāng)年戶籍人口為1136.3萬(wàn),粗離婚率達(dá)到6.82‰;當(dāng)年的結(jié)婚對(duì)數(shù)為76136對(duì),由此計(jì)算離結(jié)率高達(dá)50.90%.也就是說(shuō),這一年平均不到兩對(duì)夫妻結(jié)婚就有一對(duì)夫妻離婚,北京市的離婚率已經(jīng)成為全國(guó)。

Sample:
According to the above news report, the divorce rate in China keeps increasing since 1970's, and now is higher than that in Japan and Korea. It was also reported that the ratio of divorced couples to married couples reached 1 to 2 in 2002 in Beijing.
From my point of view, the problem of high divorce rate in our country can be analyzed from three perspectives. To begin with, owing to economic development and women's liberation, the traditional family mode has changed greatly. Now in most cases the two parties of a marriage are psychologically and economically independent. Second, because of the higher living standard and onechild policy, many young people have shaped a selfcentered personality, which is liable to result in lack of mutual care and understanding. Third, when all the social members become more and more openminded, people are less restricted to the traditional conception of marriage. Third parties, extramarital love and online marriage all pose great threats to the legal marriage.
As we all know, healthy marriages are beneficial not only to the couples themselves, but also to the growth of the children and to the stability of the whole society. Therefore, it is worthwhile to make efforts to reduce the divorce rate. Before they get married, young couples should be emotionally and psychologically well prepared for all possible conditions and changes in marriage. Furthermore, school and family education should help enhance the sense of responsibility, which is not only the key to a healthy marriage but also to a successful career.

第一段共有兩句話,第一句話說(shuō)國(guó)內(nèi)的離婚率一路攀升,已超過(guò)了日本和韓國(guó)。第二句話說(shuō)北京的離結(jié)率已高達(dá)1∶2.
第二段是寫原因的段落,共分三個(gè)方面來(lái)寫。第一點(diǎn)寫傳統(tǒng)家庭模式的巨大變化。第二點(diǎn)寫年輕人以自我為中心的人格的形成,容易導(dǎo)致相互關(guān)愛(ài)與理解的缺失。第三點(diǎn)說(shuō)人們的傳統(tǒng)婚姻家庭觀念的松動(dòng)。
第三段寫解決辦法。先說(shuō)健康的婚姻對(duì)夫妻、孩子和社會(huì)均有益,推導(dǎo)至減少離婚率是很有意義的事。首先說(shuō)年輕人應(yīng)在結(jié)婚時(shí)做好準(zhǔn)備,以應(yīng)對(duì)婚姻中的各種情形及變化。另外,學(xué)校和家庭教育應(yīng)著重加強(qiáng)他們的責(zé)任感,這對(duì)婚姻和事業(yè)都是大有益處的。 該文是特殊的出題方式,如果我們考試中遇到特殊的形式,也不必慌亂,一定要看清楚具體的要求,這樣就可以有的放矢了??吹绞煜さ姆绞缴踔令}目,也不要過(guò)于欣喜,一定要把優(yōu)勢(shì)轉(zhuǎn)化成勝勢(shì)。
