Answer 1

Jim, I think the picture conveys a message that we always need to develop ourselves to a higher level instead of being satisfied with the present situation.
You see the giraffe holding his head high towards a tall tree, trying to eat the leaves on it. Obviously, she is challenging herself, although she can eat the leaves from the small trees easily. I admire the giraffe because although it is tall enough to reach leaves from the lower trees, she still works hard trying to get the upper leaves. That’s because she knows the small trees will sooner or later grow into big trees. Things are the same in our real life. The situation is always changing and there is no reason for us to be satisfied with what we have now. Instead, we must develop ourselves to a higher level to be well prepared for the unpredictable future. Without the seemingly “useless” attempts, the giraffe may not survive in nature. As for human beings, the endless development means a way to a better life.            
So let’s develop ourselves to a higher level to make a wonderful life. This is my opinion. Do you agree with me?

試題分析：這是一篇看圖作文，認(rèn)真讀圖，可知圖畫(huà)反映了我們不能自我滿(mǎn)足的問(wèn)題，寫(xiě)作時(shí)不要僅僅對(duì)要點(diǎn)進(jìn)行生硬的翻譯，而是要添加些內(nèi)容，使文章看起來(lái)更充實(shí)，要組成一篇通順連貫的短文。需要注意緊扣文章主題，給出的要點(diǎn)都需要包括，缺一不可。寫(xiě)作時(shí)注意準(zhǔn)確運(yùn)用時(shí)態(tài)，上下文意思連貫，符合邏輯關(guān)系，一定要契合給出的開(kāi)頭，不能出現(xiàn)文章脫節(jié)問(wèn)題。盡量使用自己熟悉的單詞句式，同時(shí)也要注意使用高級(jí)詞匯和高級(jí)句型使文章顯得更有檔次。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：看圖作文要求考生將畫(huà)面所包含的有效信息直接運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)思維轉(zhuǎn)換成英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言文字，再根據(jù)這些要點(diǎn)謀篇布局。要求考生把看到的圖畫(huà)用文字表達(dá)出來(lái)，除了能表達(dá)清楚圖畫(huà)中的信息外，考生還需要根據(jù)詞數(shù)要求，適當(dāng)拓展并發(fā)揮想象，從而使文章的敘述不單調(diào)。如果是記敘文類(lèi)的寫(xiě)作素材，考生要注意故事的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件的起因、過(guò)程、結(jié)果這六個(gè)要素；如果是說(shuō)明文或議論文，考生則首先要對(duì)圖畫(huà)的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行描述，然后圍繞圖畫(huà)的信息進(jìn)行說(shuō)明或議論。此時(shí)考生一定要注意把握?qǐng)D畫(huà)的中心思想，寫(xiě)出圖畫(huà)要反映的內(nèi)容。
