Answer 1

One possible version:
     As can be seen in the picture, a boy is sitting in front of a scale. He’s put one box on one side of the
scale, two on the other, making the scale lose its balance.
     The picture seems to convey us a message that laying much more emphasis on one thing will probably
prevent the development of other things. Just like the scale in the picture, one extra box on one side will
definitely result in unbalance. There are many similar phenomena in our life. Take us high school students
for example. Faced with the pressure from school work, like the boy putting one extra box on one side of
the scale, we tend to spend much more time on our studies than on the physical exercise. However, how
can one keep healthy without enough exercise? In my opinion, what our society needs is that people
develop both mentally and physically. To achieve success in the future, we should always keep our
development balanced.
