英语图画作文命题特点

英语图画作文命题特点英语图画式作文通常是给出一幅或几幅漫画或图片，要求考生仔细分析图画的内容，并通过文字形式将图中所包含的思想内容准确地表达出来。一般来说，所给图画均反映一定的社会现象或社会现实，如2001年考试所给图画反映的是“献爱心”这一具有社会意义的现象，2003年考试所给图画反映的是“在父母宠爱下的青少年经不起风雨”这一社会现实。2005年考试所给图画反映的是当今社会有些子女推卸赡养老人的责任和义务这一社会现实。 图画式作文的考试内容和信息是以图画的形式出现在考生面前，这就要求考生在写作时要有敏锐的观察力，利用图画中的所有信息，揣摩、推测出题者的意图，确定图画所表达的中心思想。图画式作文的写作技巧：A、认真审题对于任何形式的作文来说，审题都是最为关键的一步。在审题时，考生要认真分析图画所反映的内容以及出题者的意图，分析图画的表层含义和深层含义，通过表层含义分析图画真正想要说明的问题是什么，从而挖掘出其深层含义以确定文章的中心思想。 B、确定写作重点审题之后，根据分析的结果组织安排段落，确定每一个段落的主题和写作重点，然后根据题目要求进行选材，并对所选材料再进行筛选和分类。 C、确定写作模式确定写作模式实际上就是按照题目要求确定文章的整体结构。图画式作文的一般写作模式是： 开始段：描述图画表层含义及深层含义并由此得出结论。中间段：解释原因、分析结果，或进一步论证主题思想。结束段：提出建议或发表个人评论。D、 掌握并熟悉图画式作文的规范用语As is described in the picture., The picture shows.The picture describes., It indicates that.In the picture, we can see., It reveals that.历年英语图画作文详细分析1998年，母鸡下蛋题，虽然没有明说第一段要描述图画，但描述是不可少的，下来是阐释寓意，说明了一个什么样的丑恶现象，这里并不是什么承诺了的事情没有实现，而是承诺的事情本来就应该实现，所谓承诺其实是本分。最后是评论，其实是让你解决问题，所以要写三段：图画描述段，寓意阐释段，解决问题段。 2000年，船多鱼少题，第一段描述图画，第二段推断图画作者的意图，实则也是描述寓意，说明鱼类资源为什么会减少，最后让提出解决措施，用了一个：counter-measures。 2001年爱心是一盏灯在越黑暗的地方越明亮，第一段就让阐释寓意，指令里面用的词是：symbolic meaning，要求你说出对于这句话的理解，其实是解释，为什么可以把爱心暗喻作一盏在黑暗的地方越明亮的灯呢？灯在黑暗的地方越明亮，是相对而言，因为身处黑暗，所以那盏灯就越发明亮；爱心也是，因为身处困境，所以别人给你的爱心，你就越发能够感受到它的力量。第二段是举例段，最后一段让你给出措施，怎么样才能够最好地表达爱心。 2002年美国女孩穿中国服装微笑，先描述美国女孩、中国服装、微笑，再阐述寓意文化交流，最后让你评论，事实上是对文化交流做一下总结展望。 2003年温室花朵题，指令明明白白，第一段描述图画，第二段阐释寓意，第三段给出implications in life。Implications的意思是启发，启示，所谓的启发也就是，我们再也不能这样下去了，我们应该怎么样怎么样。实则也是让你提出解决方案。 2004年终点又是新起点，第一段描述图画，第二段也是阐释寓意，终点为什么是新起点？我们应该怎么样用这样的道理指导我们的生活？第三段是举例说明，就是找出日常生活里面的一个例子，说明人生之路，奋斗永无止境，一个目标实现了，还要设定另一个目标，为之奋斗下去。“ 2005年赡养老人，第一段描述，第二段阐释寓意，最后一段提出解决方案。 (2005年试题)Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should first describe the drawing the interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it. You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET2. (20 points) As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, three sons and a daughter treat their old, helpless father very badly and violently. The striking feature is that they each stand in a different corner of a football field and the eldest son kicks out the father, who huddles up into a ball. Surprisingly, the children all wear fashionable clothes, which indicates that they are rich enough but they still intend to ward him off. The phenomenon that old people are abandoned has caused our concerns and should be brought into focus. Simple as the picture shows，yet the symbolic meaning subtly conveyed should be given into enough consideration. Recently，many grown-ups who have the ability to support their parents and live a comfortable life often neglect and abandon their parents even though their parents live in great poverty and suffer great illnesses. As we can see, their parents must be hurt not only physically but also mentally and no longer have an enjoyable life and feel so isolated and humiliated. I think these children have betrayed their own conscience and see the gloomy future of their own if they will be treated the same way by their own children. We should respect the old people and support them both physically and mentally. In the first place, being kind to old people is the Chinese virtue. In the second place，owe so much to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much in bringing us up. In order to solve the problem, efforts should be made to make old people under the responsibility of the young people. For one thing，we should strengthen the peoples awareness that old people deserve to be better cared. For another, it is demanding for us to strengthen the enforcement of laws to protect the old peoples legal rights.(2006年试题)Part A: Directions: You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area, write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out you plan. Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET2 Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write the address. (10 points) Part B Directions: study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should: 1) describe the photos briefly 2) interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them ,and 3) give you point of view You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET2(20 points) 图一Beckham 图二 把崇拜写在脸上，花300元做个“小贝头” 注：Beckham(贝克汉姆)英国足球明星 提示中提到作者给相关部门写信，自己想要为边远地区的儿童进行援助，为希望工程做贡献，请求帮助联系到合适的儿童。题目虽然没有给出明确的三点提纲，但整个内容的三段式写法不言而喻。此信为典型的请求信模式(提出请求+背景-请求具体方面或原因-操作流程或做法)，结合到本文中，第一段向对方机构提出请求或申请，明确表达目的意图；第二段则specify(具体说明)希望援助什么样的儿童，分特点进行描述；第三段则说明如何实施计划，帮助贫困儿童。 由此看来，小作文的主题是考生非常熟悉的，只不过用信函的方式创作。事务信函的关键是能“specify”,也就是说，考场上要合理联想，举一反三讲细节，提供合情合理的原因或细节。 【推荐范文】 To whom it may concern, I wish to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Having conceived such a plan for a long period, I write this letter to request your help to recommend a candidate. I wonder if it is convenient for you if two things concerning the child are taken into consideration. First, the child should come from Guizhou Province because I intend to help a child from my hometown. Second, it will be better if the child is a primary school student. Actually, I am good at teaching mathematics on elementary level. My plan will be carried out as follows. First, I will remit at least 300 yuan in cash every month so as to reduce the financial burden of the family. More importantly, I decide to teach the child mathes and English in person during my summer vacation, which will surely be more beneficial to the child. I really appreciate your help, and I look forward to your reply as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 【大作文部分】 图片内容: 图一 一个年轻小伙子在脸上画着 Beckham 字样. 图片下面汉字:把崇拜写在脸上. 图二 这个小伙子在理发店理小贝的发型.图片下面汉字:花300元做个小贝头 【题目解析】 大作文要求字数在160-200词左右。果然像我们预料的那样，此次考试仍然是连续考了七次的图画作文。图画作文或者是一张抽象而意味深长的图片，或者是两图对比模式。此次命题在以往基础上又有所突破，两张照片，可惜不是两图对比，而是两图互补模式，通过对细节的补充描述，共同反映出了一种社会现象。考生之所以觉得意外，是觉得英国球星贝克汉姆居然出现在考题中，而部分考生对这个偶像则毫无了解，没有什么感觉。当然，醉翁之意不在酒，按照历年出题模式的陷阱，我们是不能就图论图的。“小贝”只是个象征而已，他代表了风靡世界的各类明星和青春偶像。图片中的青年脸上写字也好，花钱做发型也好，无非代表了当今数量庞大的“追星族”。 【推荐范文】 As is vividly depicted in the photos above, Beckham, the handsome British football superstar, is enjoying a striking popularity among young people. In the first photo, Beckhams name appears on a young mans face. The caption indicates that worship for the idol is written on the face. In the second photo, this young man is doing Beckhams chic hairstyle in a barbershop. We are informed that he is spending 300 yuan imitating his idols hairdo. Undoubtedly, the photos have subtly reflected the social phenomenon that idol worship is prevalent among the youth nowadays. Beckham represents the image of sport hero whose handsome appearance and unparalleled football skills are passionately adored by all the sports fans. Likewise, several teenage girls won their fame overnight in The 2005 Super Girl Contest in China, which provoked nationwide noisy debates on the value and harm of admiring these idols. Generally speaking, young people are inclined to adore the people who excel in appearance, intelligence or talent. In my opinion, idol worship, the thought-provoking social phenomenon, is a double-edged sword which can deeply influence the growth of young people. If we simply worship the idols by imitating their hairstyles or pursuing fashions unreasonably, the obsession will certainly waste us a great deal of money or time, endangering the efficiency of our work. On the contrary, we will lead a positive and fruitful life if we endeavor to improve ourselves by bridging the gap between our models and us. Therefore, the latter attitude should be adopted to direct our way of life. (255字) 【文章评析】 按照提纲格局，文章顺理成章分为三段进行描述和议论。第一段为传统的图画描述段，两张照片都不是很清楚，好在下面有文字说明。刚刚接触照片，我们感觉意外，同时在思索该如何把贝克汉姆和隐含主题挂钩。稍加思考就要开始描述两张照片的内容，当然，细枝末节可以忽略，因为要求我们进行briefly描述，但提示中的内容必须提到。照片中体现出了球星强大的影响力，在此用 “striking popularity”强调。而年轻人所做的，正是让理发师做出典型的小贝式“chic hairstyle”并且模仿偶像的“hairdo”。本段中考生最大的挑战来自于“偶像崇拜”的英文表达“idol worship”. 第二段要求阐释照片所揭示的社会现象。社会现象可以一针见血地提出来，即社会上非常普遍的(prevalent)偶像崇拜，即追星现象。紧接着举两例说明，贝克汉姆代表了体育方面的偶像，其招牌是英俊的外表和高超的球技。当然，还要结合中国现实提一下典型的超级女生大赛，超女成功后都成为巨星偶像，引起了疯狂的追逐和炒做。这两个例子都证明一点，年轻人容易对在外表、才华和特长方面超出自己的人产生崇拜。注意在第二段中采用的精彩表达： “subtly reflected”、“handsome appearance”、“unparalleled skills”、“passionately adored”、“won their fame overnight”、“provoked nationwide noisy debates”、“are inclined to”、“excel in”。 解释完社会现象，说明其普遍存在，最后进行褒贬。第三段是传统的议论段，针对偶像崇拜现象我们可以持完全否定态度，但这种态度在现实中确实不可行。所以我们在段首句后通过两个层面，分别探讨崇拜的利与弊。如果只是非理性的模仿和追逐，必定浪费大量时间和金钱，耽误工作，这种态度不可取。当然，偶像崇拜也有积极的一面，如果从偶像身上发现我们所不具备的，通过努力而去弥补差距，我们的人生旧会有很大的进步，态度决定了利与弊。相比之下，我们宁愿选择积极而有收获的方式，这样才能指引我们正确的生活方向。最后一段在把偶像崇拜比作“double-edged sword”之后，采用了两类不同的语言暗示褒贬，错误的态度，出现了 “obsession”、“endanger”的表达，而积极的态度，则用“positive”、“fruitful”和“endeavor”来强调。当然，弥补差距 “bridge the gap”用得也很精彩。两种态度，先破后立，对社会现象并非偏激对待，而是客观冷静地分析利弊，再提出建议，结构布局十分得当。（2007年试题）Part A:Write a letter to your university library, making suggestions for improving its service. You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Dear Librarian,I am a frequent user of the library, and would like to thank you for providing students with such excellent service. That said, I have two suggestions for you to better your service.First, it would be very helpful if you would provide an outdoors drop-off slot for books. I often walk by the library on my way home from class, and it would save me a lot of time if I could simply drop my books in the slot rather than going inside and giving the books to the librarian.Second, I would be delighted if you would expand the size of the computer lab. Currently, I often have to wait for quite a while before a computer becomes available.Many thanks for considering my suggestions. Sincerely, Li MingPart B52. Directions：Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1） describe the drawing briefly,2） explain its intended meaning, and then3） support your view with an example/ examples.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. （20 points） 第一篇It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a current problem: what kind of attitude we will choose when facing difficulties and challenges. In this drawing, a football-player is prepared to kick a ball towards the net, where a goal-keeper keeps guard. However, in the players mind appears a scene in which the keeper becomes a giant covering the net completely, while the latter imagines that he turns out to be a dwarf standing below the huge net. Obviously, both of them lack courage and confidence in front of challenges. These two players represent those who often choose to magnify their enemies and dangers, and lose their confidence to fight against them. As a result, what they can achieve in the end is nothing but failure. This sad situation can be best illustrated in the fact that some people lose their chance of success in the entrance examination for the MA program. When preparing for the exam, they often feel depressed thinking that they are never well-prepared. In fact, they will soon realize that it is not as difficult as they thought before. In a word, they suffer from underestimating their abilities. In our life, what we need most is self-insurance and a proper view of challenges before us. Therefore, we should bear in mind that our competitors may not be as terrible as expected, and our painstaking efforts will pay off as long as we arm ourselves with courage and confidence. Only in this way can we overcome any difficulties and challenges.第二篇The drawing depicts a football player about to take a close shot onthe goal. Thought bubbles are shown for both the player taking the shot and the goalkeeper. While the player taking the shot pictures a huge goalkeeper who nearly fills up the entire goal, the goalkeeperpictures himself as being much smaller than he actually is. The drawing intends to show us that we often underestimate ourselvesand overestimate others. In the goalkeepers mind, he has the impossible task of defending a huge goal, while the player taking the shot imagines a gigantic goalkeeper who could stop nearly any shot. In fact, neither of the players has an accurate view of the challengethey are facing. The drawing reminds us that it is important to havea clear picture of the challenges we face in life.Examples of this phenomenon can be found in many other situations.For instance, the mountain climber may see the mountain as taller Than it really is, or the student might see his or her relatively simple class project as an insurmountable task. 总结所谓图画作文，无非是五大段落其中三个段落的拼图，这五大段落是：描述图画段、阐释寓意段、解决问题段、发扬展望段和举例段。如下图所示，所有的考过的图画作文都列在了表中：1998 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 描述图画段 阐释寓意段 1 解决问题段 3 发扬展望段 举例段 2 总而言之，图画作文不出这五种段落，同学们写作时，注意审题，看指令让你写的是哪三段的组合，然后进行拼接组图，写作时牢记写作原则：基础比较好，以15分为目标的同学，在不犯错误的情况下尽可能追求复杂；基础比较薄弱，以及格分为目标的同学，以不犯错误为目的，尽可能追求简单。图表漫画类文章写作思路一、图表漫画类作文写作第一段问题段：描述漫画图表句，引出暗含主题句，简短解释句，过渡句。 From the cartoon we can see that _.
