Answer 1

What an interesting picture it is! Sitting before a plate of zongzi, the boy is at a complete loss of how to unwrap them and eventually turns to a book for instructions! The picture is trying to convince us of a fact that many of the young are losing their basic hands-on ability in everyday life.
Many factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, many children have been forced to focus on their school work only, having little or no space to experience things in real life. Secondly, parents are over-protective. They take over almost all their children’s life. Thirdly, the Internet and certain books provide actually everything we need. It is not surprising for children to develop dependence on them for help.
From where I stand, giving children chances to do thins for themselves is the only remedy. Anyway, nobody can learn to swim without jumping into water.

试题分析：看图作文首先是要仔细审题，要清楚地知道图告诉我们什么思想。然后再对这一情况进行详细分析，包括出现的原因，解决的方法。本文的话题是现在孩子动手能力太差的现象，原因在于长辈的宠爱，和学习压力让孩子没有时间和机会来锻炼自己的动手能力。在完成图表作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
点评：看图作文要求考生将画面所包含的有效信息直接运用英语思维转换成英语语言文字，再根据这些要点谋篇布局。要求考生把看到的图画用文字表达出来，除了能表达清楚图画中的信息外，考生还需要根据词数要求，适当拓展并发挥想象，从而使文章的叙述不单调。如果是记叙文类的写作素材，考生要注意故事的时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、过程、结果这六个要素；如果是说明文或议论文，考生则首先要对图画的内容进行描述，然后围绕图画的信息进行说明或议论。此时考生一定要注意把握图画的中心思想，写出图画要反映的内容。
