【范文】
As is shown in the picture, when the teacher assigns her student to read a literature book，she tells him to think of it as a long text-message. It reminds me of the importance of reading literature while most people are spending much more time reading text-messages than literary works.
As it is, reading literature is important in that it can not only broaden our horizon but also enrich our mind. To be specific, reading classic works is a real eye-opener, from which we can acquire knowledge of different historical events and cultural traditions. Moreover, the moral outlooks and views of life revealed in great works offer great nourishment and contribute to our growth and wisdom. Take myself as an example. Whenever I'm confronted with obstacles, I will reflect on the books I've read, imagining what the heroes would do if they were in my situation. Then normally I will get the power and overcome my difficulties.
All in all, reading literature regularly as one does text-messages is critical to a more colorful and wiser life.
【译文】
如图所示，当老师在布置文学作品阅读任务时，告诉学生将它当作长篇手机短信对待。该图片提醒我，在大多数人阅读手机短信远多于文学作品的当下，阅读文学作品尤为重要。
事实上，阅读文学作品非常重要，因为这不但能拓宽我们的視野，还能充实我们的心智。具体而言，阅读古典著作能使我们大开眼界，了解到各种重大历史事件以及文化传统。其次，文学巨作中传达的道德观和人生观为我们提供了极好的养分，让我们成长和变得睿智。以我自己为例。每当我遇到困难，我都会想起读过的小说，想象书中的主人公如果处于我的处境会怎么做。随后，我一般都会从中获得克服困难的力量。
总而言之, 对于更精彩及睿智的人生，经常阅读文学作品是至关重要的。

The Importance of Learning Basic Skills
【写作指南】
这是典型的四级看图作文。要求考生先简单描述图片内容，继而就“学习基本技能的重要性”这个话题发表自己的见解。根据题目要求，可将文章内容安排如下：
第一段：简明扼要地描述图片内容, 并引出主题。
第二段：从正反两面说明“学习基本技能的重要性" ：为学习更高级的知识打基础；缺乏基本技能可能导致职场上的失败。
第三段：重申主题，总结全文。 【范文】
The drawing above vividly shows that the need to learn basic skills such as the multiplication table is questioned. In reality, there is also concern about whether basic skills might become out-dated and of no help to college graduates.
As I see it, the basic skills college students learn will not turn old-fashioned. Instead，they will remain as important as they will ever be. To begin with ，though basic skills is often classified as impractical subjects that cannot be applied directly to one's future career， it is these basic subjects that lay a solid foundation for more advanced skills, preparing us for further studies. Furthermore, most basic skills ， like calculating and literacy, are always necessary in a variety of occupations. It is obvious that
no employer is willing to hire a graduate who can't even fully understand a written contract. For this reason, a lack of these skills may result in future career failure.
To sum up , insignificant and boring as learning basic skills may seem, it is actually of great importance and should not be neglected.
【译文】
图片生动地展示了这样一个画面：学生对学习乘法表这样的基本技能提出了质疑。在现实中，人们也担忧，基本技能是否会过时或无益于大学毕业生。
在我看来，大学生所学的基本技能不会过时。相反, 这些技能将一如跃往地发挥重要作用。首先，尽管基本技能常被归类为不切实际的学科，不能直接应用到将来的工作中，但正是这些基础学科为学习更高级的技能打下坚实的基础，为深造做准备。此外，大部分的基本技能, 如算术和读写能力，在各种职业中都是必需的。很明显，没有哪个雇主愿意聘用连书面合同都不能完全看懂的毕业生。因此，缺乏这些技能可能会造成将来职场上的失敗。•‟ 总的来说, 尽管学习基本技能看似无关紧要并且枯燥, 但它实则极其重要，因而不应被忽視。

The Importance of Doing Small Things Before Undertaking Something Big
【写作指南】
这是典型的四级看图作文。要求考生先简单描述图片内容, 继而就“做大事前先把小事做好的重要性”这个话题发表自己的见解。根据题目要求, 可将文章内容安排如下：
第一段：简明扼要地描述图片内容。
第二段：表明自己对“做大事前先把小事做好的重要性”这个话题的看法, 并加以论述。
第三段：重申主题, 总结全文。
【范文】(168)
As is shown in the cartoon, the son expressed his concern about disposing of nuclear waste to his father, while his father asked him to empty the dustbin first. This thought-provoking dialogue reveals to us the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big and reminds us of an old Chinese saying " Sweep your own house before conquering the world. ”
From my point of view, the significance of doing small things before doing the big lies in two points. First, by doing small things we accumulate precious experience and essential practical skills, which help prepare us for any upcoming big things. Second, doing trivial matters helps us develop good habits, such as perseverance and patience, with which we won't give up or escape easily when confronted with bigger difficulties.
In short, it is reasonable for us college students to aim high and be ambitious. But before we are to undertake something big, we should try hard to fulfill simple tasks such as emptying the dustbin.
【译文】
如漫画所示，儿子对父亲说担心核废料的处里问題，而父亲則对儿子说如果他能先把垃圾倒了，就什么亊都能做好。这个发人深省的对话向我们揭示了做大亊前先把小亊做好的重要性，并且让我们联想到“一屋不扫. 何以扫天下”这句成语。
在我看来, 做大亊前先把小亊做好的重要性体现在以下两点。第一，通过做小亊我们能积累宝责的经验及必要的实用技能，为将来所有可能发生的大亊做准备。第二, 做小亊有助于我们养成良好的习惯, 如坚持不慯及耐心，有了它们，我们在遇到更大的困难时才不会轻易放弃或退缩。
简言之, 作为大学生，我们目标高远并且具有雄心壮志是合理的。但是, 在我们做大亊之前，我们应努力把像倒垃圾这样的小亊做好。

【范文】
As is shown in the graph, among those with doctoral degree, the unemployment rate is 1.9% ； while in sharp contrast, for those without even a high school diploma, the unemployment rate is 14. 9%. The fact revealed by the statistics is obvious ： the unemployment rate is in opposite proportion to the level of education —the higher the degree, the lower the unemployment rate.
What are the reasons leading to the situation reflected in the graph? Firetly, education offers us basic knowledge or certain skills to land a job. Secondly, higher education provides more advanced knowledge or more sophisticated skill, which will ensure us to be more competitive in our career. Thirdly ，the more education we receive，the better we can handle problems and stress confronted in our careers, thus achieving sustainable development in our career.
Education really pays. Let's study harder and strive for a brighter future.

是什么原因导致了图表中所反映的情况？首先, 教育提供给我们一定的知识或技能以获得工作。其次，学历越高，所掌握的知识就越先进, 技术就越高明，我们在亊业上也更具竞争力。再次，我们的文化水平越高，解决工作中出现的问题以及承受工作压力的能力就越强，从而能在事业上获得可持续发展。

第一段：简述图表信息反映出的现象：受教育程度的高低与周薪成正比。

第三段：与文章标题呼应, 并发出呼吁：为了更好的工作和更好的未来, 让我们更加努力地学习。

As is clearly demonstrated in the chart, weekly earnings for people with different education backgrounds vary dramatically. The weekly earnings of doctoral degree holders are $ 1，550, while for those with less than a high school diploma, the number is only $444. The fact revealed by this sharp contrast is obvious： education is a worthy investment, or to be specific，more and better education can to a great extent guarantee better payment.
What might have brought about this effect? Firstly, compared with people with less education, people with higher education are more likely to land better-paying jobs, for today's economy requires an educated work force at all levels. Secondly ，higher degree holders are often armed with more advanced knowledge, wider horizons, and more sophisticated skills, which usually ensure a high-income job. In view of what is discussed above, education really pays. Let's study harder and do our best to be prepared for better career opportunities and better future.
【译文】
图表清楚表明：不同教育背景者的周薪相差甚远。拥有博士学位的人群周薪高达1550美元，而学历未到高中的人群周薪仅有444美元。这种强烈的反差揭示了这样一个亊实：教育投资是非常值得的，或者具体地说, 接受更多、更好的教育在很大程庋上能保证获得更高的薪酬。
是什么导致了这样的结果？首先, 和教育程度不高的人相比，接受过髙等教育的人更可能获得薪酬较好的工作，因为现在的经济发展在各个阶层都需要有学识的人才。其次，通常高学历者拥有更先进的知识、更广阔的视野，以及更专业的技能，这些都是他们找到高薪工作的有力保陣。
综上所述, 接受教育确实有所回报。让我们更加勤奋学习，为获得更好的工作机会和更美好的未来而不懈努力

Trust is of great significance in our life. As social creatures，human beings need trust to develop a relationship. Lack of sense of trust makes it hard to maintain a relationship.
However, incidents of dishonesty frequently happen in recent years, and trust between people is decreasing. They don't believe in the merchants for fear of being cheated ； sometimes they may even have doubts about the intention of people who do a good deed. What a sad picture ！
It is generally believed that trust in a society is easy to destroy but hard to establish. In order to re-establish trust among us, there is much we can do. First, we ourselves should be trustworthy. We should keep our words whatever we do and should never cheat in our daily life and in our academic activities. Second, we should have faith in others, believing that most people are honest and trustworthy. Finally, the government should do more to encourage honesty and punish dishonesty.
In a word，trust is crucial and indispensable in maintaining a relationship. It is the task for ail people to build trust in the society.
【译文】
信任在我们的生活中意义重大。人类是社交型动物，需要依靠信任来发展关系。缺乏信任感会使一段关系难以维持。
然而，近年来欺诈亊件频频发生，人与人之间的信任度逐渐下降。因为担心受骗, 人们不相信商人；人们有时甚至对做了好事的人心存疑虑，觉得他们别有用心。真是太可悲了！
我们都相信，在社会上，信任易毁不易建。为了在我们之间重树信任，我们要做的事情有很多。首先, 我们自己要做到诚实可信。无论做什么事，都要连守承诺，永远不在曰常生活或学术活动申欺骗他人。其次, 我们应该相信他人, 相信绝大部分的人都是诚实守信的。最后，政府应该多做些事，对诚信和欺诈行为给予奖楚-。
总之, 信任在维持一段关系中至关重要、不可或缺。在社会中建立信任是全人类的责任。

What Is in the Way of Paying Back the Loans
Ever since colleges started to charge the students for the education they receive，there has always been a problem for some students, especially for those from remote rural regions, to get the money for it. So the government offers them an option of borrowing money from banks. Surveys show that the number of students financing his education in this way is increasing.
However, some students, although not many, failed to pay back the loans as they had promised in the contract. The banks have a very hard time coping with this problem. And the government can do nothing effective to help the banks.
I think there is more than one reason for this. Dishonesty may be one but not the major one. As is known, we are experiencing a particular phase of economic development where the supply of human resources is much bigger than the demand for it. So many students are not able to find a well-paid job. How can they pay the loans back? To solve this problem, I think the government should make efforts to get the whole economy go smoothly， creating more job opportunities.

The Post-graduate Craze
With the development of the competitive society, more and more people would like to go to graduate school. On one hand, thousands of ambitious young undergraduates are taking part in the National Graduate Entrance Exam each year in order to find a better job. On the other hand，more and more employees in all walks of life are trying their best to be post graduates.
There are several reasons why so many people are so enthusiastic about the post graduate studies. Firstly, the majority of the people who want to be post graduates are trying to save themselves from the employment pressure. With the development of education standard ， a bachelor's degree is no longer a sufficient qualification to ensure a decent job. Secondly， although some people have been employed for years, they find the knowledge they have learned inadequate to meet the demand of this ever changing world.
In my opinion, before we make the choice, those questions need to be answered ： Do I need practical work experience or theoretical knowledge? Can graduate school offer me what I want to learn? We have to think carefully before we decide to apply for graduate school.

第一段：概括图表信息；第二段:详细分析原因；第三段：阐明自己的看法。
【范文】
The bar chart illustrates the gradual decline in the number of Chinese people reading books between 1999 and 2005. According to the graph, in 1999, more than 60% of Chinese people practiced certain readings. The percentage dropped dramatically to 54% in 2001，and continued to decrease until 2005 by nearly 6%. Why do less and less Chinese people read books?
The reasons may boil down to the following factors. For one thing, Chinese people, especially the young ， are now experiencing an unprecedented competition. They are struggling hard to accomplish their daily work ， leaving no time and energy for reading. For another, modern society provides various channels ranging from television to the Internet for people to effortlessly get whatever information they need.
Nevertheless, we cannot afford to be blind to the problem of the decrease in popularity of books among people, especially the young generation. To my mind, nothing can equal the benefits derived from reading. In one sense， books are no less necessary to our mental life than air is to our physical life. People should make it a rule to do some reading each day. Time-consuming as it may be, reading will inevitably exert profound influences on a person, a community and a nation.

College Students’ Consumption
【审题概述】
第一段：概括图表信息；第二段：详细分析原因; 第三段：阐明自己的看法。
【范文】
In what way do college students spend their money? On this issue, the above chart tells us a lot. We know from the chart that money for food and daily commodities, with 34% of the total spending, occupies the largest part of college students' consumption. Entertainment accounts for another 16% and traveling for 8%, which shows that the life of college students is getting more and more colorful. 12% for clothing tells us that college students pay much attention to their appearance and are eager to keep up with the fashion.
However, 17% for mobile phone fee while only 13% for study provides no reason for us to be optimistic. Of course, we can understand that mobile phones give us a lot of convenience and help us get in touch with each other easily. But money on mobile phone fee seems a little too much.
In conclusion, to some degree we can learn about the status and trend of college students' consumption from the chart. Basically, their consumption is reasonable and realistic. But they still need some instructions on consumption. As our society develops, the way college students spend their money will be further varied.

Second, we should have faith in others, believing that most people are honest and trustworthy. Finally, the government should do more to encourage honesty and punish dishonesty.
In a word，trust is crucial and indispensable in maintaining a relationship. It is the task for ail people to build trust in the society.
【译文】
信任在我们的生活中意义重大。人类是社交型动物，需要依靠信任来发展关系。缺乏信任感会使一段关系难以维持。
然而，近年来欺诈亊件频频发生，人与人之间的信任度逐渐下降。因为担心受骗, 人们不相信商人；人们有时甚至对做了好事的人心存疑虑，觉得他们别有用心。真是太可悲了！
我们都相信，在社会上，信任易毁不易建。为了在我们之间重树信任，我们要做的事情有很多。首先, 我们自己要做到诚实可信。无论做什么事，都要连守承诺，永远不在曰常生活或学术活动申欺骗他人。其次, 我们应该相信他人, 相信绝大部分的人都是诚实守信的。最后，政府应该多做些事，对诚信和欺诈行为给予奖楚-。
总之, 信任在维持一段关系中至关重要、不可或缺。在社会中建立信任是全人类的责任。

What Is in the Way of Paying Back the Loans
Ever since colleges started to charge the students for the education they receive，there has always been a problem for some students, especially for those from remote rural regions, to get the money for it. So the government offers them an option of borrowing money from banks. Surveys show that the number of students financing his education in this way is increasing.
However, some students, although not many, failed to pay back the loans as they had promised in the contract. The banks have a very hard time coping with this problem. And the government can do nothing effective to help the banks.
I think there is more than one reason for this. Dishonesty may be one but not the major one. As is known, we are experiencing a particular phase of economic development where the supply of human resources is much bigger than the demand for it. So many students are not able to find a well-paid job. How can they pay the loans back? To solve this problem, I think the government should make efforts to get the whole economy go smoothly， creating more job opportunities.

The Post-graduate Craze
With the development of the competitive society, more and more people would like to go to graduate school. On one hand, thousands of ambitious young undergraduates are taking part in the National Graduate Entrance Exam each year in order to find a better job. On the other hand，more and more employees in all walks of life are trying their best to be post graduates.
There are several reasons why so many people are so enthusiastic about the post graduate studies. Firstly, the majority of the people who want to be post graduates are trying to save themselves from the employment pressure. With the development of education standard ， a bachelor's degree is no longer a sufficient qualification to ensure a decent job. Secondly， although some people have been employed for years, they find the knowledge they have learned inadequate to meet the demand of this ever changing world.
In my opinion, before we make the choice, those questions need to be answered ： Do I need practical work experience or theoretical knowledge? Can graduate school offer me what I want to learn? We have to think carefully before we decide to apply for graduate school.

The bar chart illustrates the gradual decline in the number of Chinese people reading books between 1999 and 2005. According to the graph, in 1999, more than 60% of Chinese people practiced certain readings. The percentage dropped dramatically to 54% in 2001，and continued to decrease until 2005 by nearly 6%. Why do less and less Chinese people read books?
The reasons may boil down to the following factors. For one thing, Chinese people, especially the young ， are now experiencing an unprecedented competition. They are struggling hard to accomplish their daily work ， leaving no time and energy for reading. For another, modern society provides various channels ranging from television to the Internet for people to effortlessly get whatever information they need.
Nevertheless, we cannot afford to be blind to the problem of the decrease in popularity of books among people, especially the young generation. To my mind, nothing can equal the benefits derived from reading. In one sense， books are no less necessary to our mental life than air is to our physical life. People should make it a rule to do some reading each day. Time-consuming as it may be, reading will inevitably exert profound influences on a person, a community and a nation.

In what way do college students spend their money? On this issue, the above chart tells us a lot. We know from the chart that money for food and daily commodities, with 34% of the total spending, occupies the largest part of college students' consumption. Entertainment accounts for another 16% and traveling for 8%, which shows that the life of college students is getting more and more colorful. 12% for clothing tells us that college students pay much attention to their appearance and are eager to keep up with the fashion.
However, 17% for mobile phone fee while only 13% for study provides no reason for us to be optimistic. Of course, we can understand that mobile phones give us a lot of convenience and help us get in touch with each other easily. But money on mobile phone fee seems a little too much.
In conclusion, to some degree we can learn about the status and trend of college students' consumption from the chart. Basically, their consumption is reasonable and realistic. But they still need some instructions on consumption. As our society develops, the way college students spend their money will be further varied.
