图画作文 除了表格和图表题目，还有与其类似的图画题目。图画写作是较难的题型，虽然大学英语四级考试一直未曾采用，但近年来新题型频繁出现，象报告、公众演讲、导游解说都已考过，故防患于未然，该题型也是大家应该掌握的。 首先看一下图画题型写作注意事项： 详细查看图画。对图画进行全面而细致的研究，尤其注意图画中人或物（人与物）的体貌表情特征和背景，确定人物之间，人物与背景之间的主要关系，以便正确掌握图画所传达的信息。 如果图画以系列形式（既两幅以上）出现，考生除了掌握每一幅图画的信息，还应该对图画之间的相应联系有所理解，从而在整体上把握图画所传达的信息。 面对图画题型，应该展开合理而丰富的联想，用生动而恰当的言辞抒发自己对图画的所思所想所感。 注意图画题型中的文字提示。文字提示非常重要，文字提示通常十分清楚地提供一些写作要点。 草拟提纲，合理组织材料。根据图画内容的不同采用不同的段落发展方式。如果画面内容是以描述为主，即按空间方位或时间先后顺序排列，可采用"开头--扩展- -结尾"的写作方式。如果画面内容是以解释说明为主，写作时则先给出主题句，再围绕主题句完成各段落的写作，这是采用"主题句--扩展句--总结句"的写作方式。 系统且突出地展开段落。展开段落要根据画面内容进行，同时也要围绕每一段的主题句进行。 检查与修改。重点检查图画内容是否准确地被表达出来，题目所给提示是否完整地反映在文章之中。如果存在与画面不相符的内容，或未能完全涵盖题目所给提示，应对文章做出相应修订。 大家看下面的实例，注意体会图画作文的写作特点： 实例1 The Harmfulness of Smoking 1. Show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the cartoon; 2. Give reasons why smoking is harmful; and 3. How we can solve the problem. Model Composition As is shown in the cartoon, when the man is enjoying the cigarette, the smoke becomes a monster （怪物） which will devour him. This picture tells us vividly that smoking is harmful to people. The harmfulness of smoking can be illustrated in three aspects. First of all, smoking does harm to people's health. It is common knowledge that many deadly diseases derive from smoking. The best example is lung cancer. In addition, smoking costs a lot of money. It is estimated that tens of billions of yuan is spent on cigarettes every year in our country, which is a huge waste. Last but not the least important, smoking may cause fire. Do you still remember the big fire in Northeastern China which caused serious damages to people's lives and properties? Since smoking does so many harms, every one of us should try to do something to put an end to the problem. The government should make stricter rules to prohibit smoking in public places and the smokers should give up smoking. （169 words） 实例2 The Tears of A Bird Describe the cartoon and deduce the purpose of the drawer of the picture; State the harmful effects of the phenomenon; Give suggestions as to how to solve the problem. Model Composition As can be clearly seen from the cartoon, a bird is sitting on the top of a huge ax, with tears streaming from its eyes. Because all the trees are cut down, the bird will have no habitat. The cartoon conveys the meaning that it is urgent to preserve the woods for the birds and protect the environment for human beings. The cutting of trees, as well as the destruction of our environment, may lead to several harms as follows. In the first place, the trees provide us with many vital things we humans need, such as oxygen, food, shelter and so on. The animals, such as the bird in the picture, also need the trees. In the second place, if trees are cut down, then there will be nothing to retain the rain water, thus floods will happen more often in the future. Last but not least, there is only one earth. If the environment is destroyed, then we will have no place to live in. Since this phenomenon causes so many harmful effects, we have to come up with some measures to deal with it. First of all, the authorities should adopt the policy of "sustainable development", just as our government has been doing. What's more, every citizen should realize the seriousness of the problem and make concerted efforts to protect our environment. 实例3 Love Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her understanding of it. There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below, give a specific example, and give your suggestion as to the best way to show love. Model Composition It is generally believed that love is a hot topic which is most talked about. This is true not only in China but also in other countries. Love is of the utmost importance to the human beings. As is described in the picture, "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places." This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than ordinary people. Take my neighbor as an example. There are three members in their family and the two adults were laid off last year. The only child will have to drop out of school next semester. In order to help them, I donated all my money-300 yuan to pay the tuition. And I plan to call on others to donate more money.（11） Though I cannot do a lot, I have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed. So to sum up, we should offer our help to all who are in need. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and our society will be a better place for us to live in.
