The drawing above elaborately depicts the great significance of optimistic outlook. In the
picture, two men respond differently on seeing a bottle of water overturned on the ground. While one
sinks into despair by saying “all is over”, the other feels lucky that there still remains a little in the
bottle.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: positive mentality carries
significant implications for our professional, academic as well as personal wellbeing. For one thing,
optimism can produce a lasting energizing effect, granting us a fruitful and fulfilling life. As Chen
Ning Yang, a Chinese American physicist and recipient of the Nobel Prize, has put it, it is the
positive spirit that leads to great achievements in every field. More importantly, such a positive
attitude motivates us to accomplish the impossible. Top achievers in both business and science
understand that very well and, almost without exception, attribute their glories to their attitude of
positiveness.
Basing on what has been analyzed above, it is highly suggested that schools of all levels and
parents cultivate optimistic and positive trait among children in order to cope with the risks and
challenges in their future life.
( 末 段 备 选 Basing on what has been analyzed above, I am convinced that only when we are
equipped with optimism and positiveness can we achieve more rapid progress and even greater
success in work and life alike.)

The drawing above elaborately depicts the great significance of self-confidence. In the picture,
two men are playing football on the field. While the goalkeeper thinks of the gate as too huge to
guard, the striker views the gate as too small but the goalkeeper too huge that he has little chance to
kick the ball in.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: believing in oneself carries

The cartoon above elaborately portrays the great significance of the spirit of cooperation. As is
shown in the drawing, while the two men are both disabled in one of their legs, they leave behind
their crutches bravely, getting on their journey by supporting each other with their powerful arms.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: coordination enables us to
overcome our weakness and limits to achieve our goal in a highly efficient way. For one thing,
collaborating spirt serves as a booster, accelerating our pace toward success. In a firm, for instance,
executives and employees both excel in their own fields but are weak in unfamiliar fields, which is
just like the two disabled men in the same way that if they collaborate well they would be a highly
efficient team. For another, joint efforts push us to accomplish the impossible. As Jack Ma, the
former CEO and Chairman of Alibaba, has noted, the spirit of teamwork has become such a necessity
in this rapidly changing world that no huge breakthrough could be achieved without it.
In conclusion, the quality of co-working plays an ever-significant role in their employment
fields and household. Therefore, it is highly advisable that our society, government and schools of all
levels make efforts to advocate and cultivate the spirit of shared efforts.

The pair of cartoons above elaborately depicts the great significance of taking plans into actions.
In the left drawing, a man is lying down in his chair, watching a full shelf of books with no intention
to read and saying to himself “what a great number of books I have !”, while in the right image, the

The drawing above elaborately depicts the great significance of facing up to challenges bravely.
In the picture, a college student is sitting in front of a laptop, staring at a course selection system. He

The drawing above elaborately depicts the great significance of persistence. In the picture, there
are two climbers on their way to the top of a mountain. While one of them, sitting on a stone step

The pair of drawings above elaborately depict the great significance of self-discipline, the
ability to make ourselves do what we ought to do without being urged by someone else. In the left
picture, a girl sits at a desk concentrating on her assignments, with a strong desire to complete them

The drawing above elaborately depicts the great significance of sticking to your choice. In the

This cartoon above elaborately portrays the great influences of the Internet on modern life. In an
enormous net which symbolizes the Internet, people all over the world are conveniently contacting
with each other by just clicking mouse and pressing keys on the keyboard, but they shut themselves
in small rooms forgetting real communication with those around them.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the drawing conveys: while the Net benefits us in
many ways, it also exerts negative effects on our life. On the one hand, this new technology does
provide us with unprecedented convenience and entertainments, ranging from online shopping to
web chatting and to cyber games. On the other hand, nevertheless, the computer network tempts us
into pouring enormous amount of time and attention on it, consuming our energy and disrupting our
face-to-face communication. According to the statistics from the Department of Education, more
than 80% of collegiate students spend over 4 hours on screens each day, leading to severe dearth of
interpersonal communicating ability as well as poor academic performance.
In conclusion, the Net can be likened as a double-edged sword, facilitating our life but
consuming our time. Hence, it is highly suggested that we pay closer attention to its negativeness,
restrain from its indulgence and encourage more eye-to-eye interaction in real life.

手机时代的聚餐
Finely demonstrated in the cartoon above is a common and undeniable scene in our
contemporary society: in a dinner party, a group of youngsters are busy playing with their cell
phones, ignoring the tasty dishes on the table and forgetting interacting with each other. And under
the drawing is a caption which reads “the dinner party in the era of smart phone”.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: while this electronic device
benefits us in many ways, it also generates negative influences on our life. On the one hand, this
digital tool does provide us with unprecedented convenience and entertainments, ranging from cyber
games to online shopping and to web chatting. On the other hand, however, this intelligent gadget
tempts us into pouring enormous amount of time and attention on it, consuming our energy and
disrupting our face-to-face communication. According to the statistics from the Department of
Education, more than 80% of college students spend over 4 hours on screens each day, leading to
severe dearth of interpersonal communication ability and poor physical condition.
In conclusion, mobile phone can be likened as a double-edged sword, enriching our life but
consuming our time. Therefore, it is highly suggested that the general public, especially youngsters,
guard against its negativeness and focus more on real communication in real life.

The cartoon above elaborately depicts various life options facing college graduates. As is shown
in the drawing, all the students who are to graduate from colleges are open to four roads— hunting
for an employment, sitting for the Postgraduate Entrance Exam (PEE), going abroad for overseas
education, as well as initiating their own businesses.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: although diverse life choices
offer youngsters various possibilities for them to explore, they also send these start-up adults into
dilemma and confusion. On the one hand, the abundance in life choices gives respect to their
interests and freedom, ensuring full display of their potential. ( 备 选 论 据 Compared with twenty
years ago when college graduates had no choice about their profession but following the appointment
of the government, it is surely a good thing that youngsters now could take up their own roads
following their own wishes.) On the other hand, too many options will render these emerging adults
at a loss as they have no idea about what result each choice leads to. As Yi Zhongtian, the history
professor from Xiamen University, has noted, it is hard for the youth to make a sensible choice about
their career and each misstep will lead to a lifelong regret.
Therefore, it is highly suggested that the government, teachers as well as schools of all levels
provide college students with professional counseling and guidance as early as possible to help them
get a clear idea about which way suits them best.

The cartoon above elaborately depicts youngsters’ over-obsession with idols. As is shown in the
drawings, one man has written “Beckham”—the name of a famed football player—on his face, and
the other spends 300 yuan imitating Backham’s hairstyle.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: although learning from role
models may generate virtuous effects on youngsters, we should not go too far. On the one hand,
following and imitating great figures in a healthy and proper way may bring the best of us, serving as
beacons and guiding us in virtuous directions. (备选论据 None of the celebrities, whether in the field
of sports, business or science, deny the significance of strong will and continuous efforts, which is
exactly what youngsters are supposed to learn from.) On the other hand, blindly copying superstars’
looks and behaviors is nothing but superficial and even poisonous. As Yu Dan, a scholar from
Beijing Normal University, has noted, excessive indulgence in idol worship has the potential that
youngsters lose their way, forgetting to explore their own potential and uniqueness.
Therefore, it is highly suggested that the government, teachers as well as schools of all levels
make efforts to advocate and cultivate a positive and healthy attitude towards idols among the
modern generation.

The cartoon above symbolically illustrates the great significance of cultural blending. As is
shown in the drawing, a boiling hotpot is filled with a variety of foods, ranging from Confucius,

[世纪高教在线]考研英语写作高分突破 课程讲义

Taoism, Peking Opera to Shakespeare, Einstein and to Post-modernism, all of which represent the
essence and cream of Chinese and Western culture. And under the cartoon is a caption which reads
“cultural hotpot, tasty and nutritious.”
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the image conveys: cultural exchange and
integration across the world is beneficial to both social development and globalization. For one thing,
each country may learn from and absorb the exquisite essence of other cultures through cultural
exchange, which expands the boundary of their own culture, promoting the development of society.
Consider the rapid development of China since the Reform and Opening-up, and it is evident that the
great achievements in the past forty years undoubtedly derive from high-level cultural blending
worldwide. For another, cultural mixture facilitates the communication and understanding
among all of the countries, dramatically boosting the process of globalization. As a report published
in Nature in 2016 has noted, cultural blending started form the dawn of human civilization and
accelerated at a higher speed into this era of irresistible globalization.
Accordingly, it is highly advisable for the government and mass media to employ their
influence to advocate greater cultural communication and mixture. Also, people all around the world
should be encouraged to embrace multi-culture, a more harmonious society as well as a more
diversified world.

The cartoon above vividly illustrates the great significance of environmental protection. As is
shown in the drawing, two tourists are sitting on the edge of a boat, enjoying beautiful scenes and
tasty foods while discarding their rubbish casually into the lake.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the drawing conveys: when we enjoy the
enviable scenery, we should also cherish the natural beauty and never destroy it. For one thing, a
clean and scenic environment may be a basic requirement for our healthy life. As Yu Dan, a cultural
scholar from Beijing Normal University, has noted, it is hard to imagine a healthy life when we are
surrounded by corrupted landscapes with polluted water and worsening atmosphere. For another,
beautiful and appealing surroundings contribute enormously to a wealthy and harmonious society.
According to a recent survey, the pollution to environment in some areas has been increasingly
severe, leading to a declining happiness level among local citizens and a fading investment and GDP.
Considering the seriousness of the problem, we should take immediate actions to reverse the
unsettling trend. On the one hand, government should put the environment in the first place when
they make economic development plans. On the other hand, education campaign about protecting
environment should be launched among the general public, which may help people establish a right
view on their behaviors.

The pair of cartoons elaborately exhibit the significance of intimate kinship in a family. In the
left picture, a middle-aged mother was leading her baby daughter thirty years ago with smile and
fulfillment on both faces, while in the right one, the little girl has grown into an adult now, being able
to keep her mother’s company and keep her away from loneliness.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the couple of drawings convey: loving and
supporting between parents and children is probably one of the most precious and noblest qualities in
our life. For one thing, the mutual support and caring between family members may be a basic
requirement for a happy family. When we were young, our parents offered us all their love, shielding
us from rains and storms. As they grow old and infirm, we are supposed to provide them in return
with respect and filial piety. For another, a good relationship between folks and kids doubtlessly
contributes to a harmonious and stable society. As Yu Dan, a cultural scholar from Beijing Normal
University, has noted, it is hard to imagine a peaceful and cheerful societal environment when we are
surrounded by growing incidences of neglecting or even abusing children and the elderly.
Therefore, it is highly advisable for the government, society, mass media as well as schools of
all levels to awaken the general public to the significance of respecting the old and loving children,
and foster further the awareness of caring children and filial piety.

The cartoon above elaborately exhibits the significance of respecting and taking care of aging
parents. As is shown in the picture, four children, three sons and one daughter acting as goalkeepers,
guard their own gates and keep the ball which symbolizes their old father out of their gates.
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the drawing conveys: supporting and looking after
parents is one of the most significant and precious virtue in our life. For one thing, protecting and
accompanying the elderly as a traditional virtue is a basic requirement for a harmonious family.
When we were young, our parents offered us all their love, shielding us from rains and storms. As
they grow old and infirm, we are supposed to provide them in return with respect and filial piety. For

The pair of images above elaborately portray the significance of parents’ role model. In the first
picture, a father, himself watching TV, is urging his son to study hard, while in the second drawing,
the father is focusing on the study just as his son is doing. The caption under the cartoons reads: “It is
better to set an example than merely make demands.”
It is not hard for us to grasp the information the cartoons convey: parents can better teach
children by example rather than verbal instruction. For one thing, a good example from parents may
be vital to the sound development of the youngsters. As an old saying goes, parents are the first
teachers of their children. Their manners would be imitated consciously and unconsciously, greatly
influencing their kids’ value about the world and life. For another, parents’ proper example is of great
significance in building a respectful and harmonious family. As Yu Dan, a scholar from Beijing
Normal University, has noted, it is hard to imagine a close and intimate kinship when parents just
give kids orders then watching them to struggle in frustration.
In conclusion, when it comes to instructing and influencing kids, actions speak louder than
words. Therefore, it is highly advisable for parents to practice what they advocate and take the lead
to do what they want their kids to do.
