小作文参考范文
Dear my friends,
I am writing this letter to welcome you to our university on behalf of our Students’ Union. I expect you to arrive here with increasing joy as well as excitement. It is of great pleasure to anticipate your coming soon.
As foreign students, you will find everything on our campus quite different, fresh and alien. Therefore, after arriving, you can take full advantage of every opportunity to communicate with us directly to bridge the gap. To be more specific, the climate in Beijing is considerably different from your hometown, but you will soon get accustomed to living here. Finally, I hope to accompany you and introduce some special or unique campus characteristics and cultures so as to let you better be acquainted with/understand our campus life.
We shall strive to make your stay or visit as pleasant as possible by providing the best service as well as support for you. All of our students are looking forward to your early coming eagerly.
在写大作文时，第一段需要简短描述图画的内容。酒瓶bottles或汉语字“全完了everything is over. ”，“还剩一点儿there is still a little left。”等属于考生应该掌握的作文基础词汇，这是靠模板不能写出来的东西。 第二段需要阐释图画寓意，其实就是论证说明树立乐观态度的重要性。最后一段可以结合自己谈谈看法或体会。
【作文思路】
按照我们课堂上的写作方法，可以这样来展开描述和议论。第一段为传统的图画描述段，根据图画中的具体信息，尤其是下面的文字说明，进行直接描述。比如可以运用我们冲刺课堂上传授的精彩句型 " Whoever in front of this cartoon/drawing/picture will be greatly impressed. How thought-provoking it seems to be! 或What is vividly illustrated in the painting above is that …. (对漫画笼统地描述)。然后再补上后面的文字解释说明：“The caption(图画中的文字) informs us readers of the message that attitude makes everything. ”属经典的开头套话。在描述中，不可缺少的主题相关词包括" keep/be optimistic; optimism, attitude等与“态度；乐观；悲观”有关的词汇，这是得分的第一步。
第二段要求展开阐释漫画背后所预示的主题，并加以论证说明。在这一段首句可以直接采用" Simply designed though this miniature seems to be, the symbolic meaning it conveys is deep and profound. It is, most likely, that the drawer intends not only to present the serious behavior to us but also to set us thinking about its real significance。在句型运用方面，可以考虑使用启航课堂上反复提到的必杀词组“The foremost and the most striking influence of it is ….，As is universally acknowledged，和What makes things even worse等。
第三段以及第四段可以阐述自己的一些看法或想法，或对那些没有乐观的人提一些建议都行。
Sample Writing
As is apparently drawn in this miniature, in the middle stand two individuals, one feeling gloomy while the other optimistic. The Chinese characters above inform our readers of the message that various folks take different attitudes toward the same event. (参见黄涛冲刺班作文讲义第8页第一段首句必杀句型)How impressive this drawing seems to be in depicting one of the most prevalent themes that attitudes make everything in our life.
After careful reflection and mediation, we examinees come to understand the enlightening drawing. I contend that this thought-provoking image conveys one profound layer of implication concerning attitude or optimism. It is universally acknowledged that life is by no means perfect and whether we feel optimistic or not depends on what attitudes we take. (参见黄涛冲刺班讲义第3页作文经典句型必备)
When confronted with an adverse situation, some youths feel in low spirits and fall into depression. Others, on the contrary, look at the positive side of the situation and remain cheerful. As a consequence, it is our attitude rather than the situation itself that determines how we feel. (参见启航冲刺讲义第13页第30个段落正反论证法)
In my personal sense, the message applies to our youths especially. In such a rat-race society, everyone is bound to encounter hardships and difficulties. In this sense, I should keep an optimistic attitude to pull through any hardship. Just as a famous figure puts it, it is our attitude that has changed everything in our life.
