该文可分四段来写。第一段描述图画。第二段分析该现象产生的原因。第三段谈严重的后果。最后一段是结论段。In the picture, a student is talking to his classmates: "I will certainly choose Mr. Lis optional course, for everyone could pass the examination."
I feel extremely disappointed whenever I hear such remarks on campus. The diploma has been regarded as the guarantee for a secure future, and to get the diploma students have to pass all the examinations. Instead of acquiring knowledge and developing skills, many students concentrate on various techniques to pass various examinations.
Such a belief will bring many harmful consequences. First of all, when they make every effort to pass examinations, they will be most likely to memorize certain answers and even go directly to teachers for a certain scope covering examination items. In this way they deprive themselves of the right to think, to explore and to find. Second, some teachers are too lenient with students-they may want to leave a good impression or they just lack patience. In the long run, the teaching quality will deteriorate as nobody is exercising quality control. Lastly, cheating will be on the rise as long as we judge students solely by examination marks. If a test is full of multiplechoice questions, it is more likely for a student to peer at another test paper. But if the teacher takes pains to design more creative openended questions, fewer students will make the wrong choice.
This phenomenon has been worrying me for a long time. The aim of college education, in my belief, is to cultivate skills and inspire creativity. The best way is that a teacher demonstrates the beauty of his course and the great happiness of exploring in his field. Only if the students are inspired will it become possible for them to understand the importance of confidence and integrity.第一段将图中人物的话译出。第二段的首句谈了自己的感受。而后阐述了为什么学生会说出上面的话--为了毕业文凭，学生对如何通过考试非常重视。
第三段谈了这种理念带来的严重后果。首先重视考试会剥夺他们思考、探索和寻获的能力。其次有些老师对学生太宽松，长此以往将导致教学质量的下降。最后，作弊之风将日盛。如果考试中多一些创造性的问题，将会比都是选择题要好得多。
末段是笔者有感而发。在统领句后，谈了自己对教育的看法：教育的目的是培养技能和激发创造力。最好的办法就是老师展示课程之美和在此领域中耕耘的巨大快乐。只有学生被激励，才有可能让他们理解自信和诚实的重要性。该段是对第二段的呼应，是对解决该问题提出自己的看法。在大作文的写作中，有相对主观和客观的方法，其中客观的方法用得比较多，这是为了给人留下真实可信的印象。但有的时候也可以使用主观的方法，这种方法的个性化较强，给人的冲击力较大，如果有独到的见解，且谈得入情入理，会取得很好的效果。该文就是这样的例子，在第二段与第四段开头显露无疑。这样写会让人感觉到写作者的丰富情感和深刻的忧患意识，只要能一针见血地指出问题的要害，整体的效果就很强烈了。
27Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. describe the picture;
2. interpret the meaning;
3. make your comments.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
这道题目比较特殊--图画上没有对话，只有一个忘情弹奏的人，下面有一句极富哲理的话。而提纲中的第二点和第三点分别是阐释含义和作出评论，而不是具体的指令，这样写来难度更大，自由度也更大。As can be seen from the picture, a person is playing the piano-he is so much immersed in the beautiful music that he seems to forget completely what is going on around him. The Chinese characters below the picture say: Writing is like playing the piano-first you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. What significant and thoughtprovoking words they are!
To me, writing is a lifelong endeavor: It is often hard and frustrating at the beginning, but it often becomes enjoyable and fruitful as time goes by. First, you have to learn the fundamental knowledge and acquire the simple skills, just as you must know the keys on a piano before you can really produce a whole piece of music. Afterwards, I believe there should a prolonged period of practice, largely characterized by recitation, analysis and imitation. This is the period when we fully understand and deeply appreciate the beauty and excellence of masterpieces. This is also the period when we apply the particular skills of manipulating words, fabricating sentences and creating paragraphs by imitating great writers directly. Finally, when all of this is done, one day we will suddenly forget all those rules and regulations-like a bird flying freely in the sky, we begin to take on our own styles. We can eventually express our ideas, feelings and emotions smoothly-like beautiful notes, words spring out from our hearts one after another, until they merge into a stream or even a river. At that time, we can be sure to say that we begin to understand what writing is. 这篇文章写成了两段而不是三段，是非常特殊的。如果提纲中的第二点和第三点分别是给出原因和解决办法，就不能这么写。
第一段分别描述了忘情弹奏的人和图下面的一句话，末句用了一个感叹句。
第二段是关键段落。首先是总结性的话语。而后以时间为线索分三个阶段来写。第一个阶段只有一句话，用了类比法：你得先学会写作的基础知识和简单技能，就象认识钢琴上的键一样。第二个阶段有三句话，先说这个阶段是以背诵、分析和模仿为特征的一般较长的练习时期。而后两句话作进一步说明，这两句话是平行的：这是我们能够完全理解和欣赏经典杰作之美的时期，也是我们通过直接模仿大作家来应用具体的词、句、段的技能的时期。第三个阶段共有三句话。首先说当所有这些都完成之后，我们有一天会突然发现自己忘记了所有的规则--就象一只自由飞翔的鸟儿，我们开始有了自己的风格。而后说我们终于能够自由地表达思想和情感--就象美妙的乐章一样，词从我们的心中喷涌而出，直到汇成小溪或河流。最后一句说，直到那时，我们才开始理解写作了。最后这句结语举重若轻，效果却很强烈，就象米开朗基罗弥留之际说的自己开始懂得一点点绘画了一样，看似平淡，却非常具有震撼力。一般说来，哲理性的文章是相当有难度的。本文是一篇以类比来表达深刻道理的文章，需要大家先弄清一对事物之间的类比关系，体会其中的妙处，再一步步深入细致地进行描述，这是不容易的。请大家仔细研读范文，必能在这方面有所收获。
在行文中，不断体现开始的这种类比关系，能使主题进一步加强。这在第二段的第一个和第三个时期均有明显的体现。
